Wasilla, AK and Grand Junction, CO - More to the point, Morgan Hite left someone. What was left of someone, anyway. Hite, 22, left the corpse of her murdered newborn son in a tote bag at her father and stepmother’s Colorado home after a visit. After she left, she went home to Alaska, apparently not thinking that dead babies eventually begin to smell funny. I guess Morgan will have time to rethink that misconception in prison.
I don’t know what made Morgan Hite think she could just hide a dead body in a tote bag, stick the bag in a closet, and forget it. But that’s what she did, and what’s even more horrible is that she lived in the guest room with the corpse of her baby for over a month before she left. How did she sleep at night, knowing what she’d done?
On February 24, Hite and her four-year-old daughter Mary Elizabeth left their home in Wasilla, Alaska and flew to Colorado. When they got there, Morgan’s dad Chris and stepmother Stacy Hite noticed that Morgan looked about six months pregnant. Nope, she said, she had been, but she’d just had the baby and given it up for adoption. She was too broke for another one, and besides, she and Mary’s father Nate Pokryfki were having some problems. It just wasn’t a good time.
The very next day, while Stacy Hite was out with a neighbor, Morgan went to the neighbor’s house because the maid arrived at the elder Hites’ home. Morgan put her daughter down for a nap at the neighbor’s, then locked herself in the bathroom and proceeded to give birth. Hite says her baby son didn’t cry, but that she didn’t try to stimulate him, either.
By that time, Stacy Hite and the neighbor had gotten home and knocked on the door. Morgan said she was bleeding and cramping really badly, and could her stepmom get her some fresh clothes and let her take a bath right there? I probably would have thought that was weird if it was my house, but being a gracious hostess, the neighbor said “sure”, and Stacy brought Morgan a plastic bag and some clothes. Nobody heard a baby cry.
Then Morgan Hite cleaned herself up and wrapped up the newborn boy in one plastic bag and her bloody clothes in another. Which she tied off and carried right out of the house like nothing was terribly wrong. Since the women had taken little Mary back to the Hites’ home, nobody saw Morgan leave with a plastic-wrapped newborn under her arm.
When she got back to her father and stepmother’s home, Morgan put the baby, still wrapped in plastic, in a rubber-lined plastic tote bag. She then shoved the bag into the closet of her guest room and left it there , never bothering to open it again.
Morgan Hite stayed with her parents for over a month after that. During that time, Morgan checked her Myspace and messaged Nate Pokryfki on his Myspace page and told him she and their daughter missed him. She went to a hockey tournament, snowboarding in Vail, and to the zoo. She did all kinds of things - except tell anyone what she’d done to her baby.
On April 3, Morgan Hite left Colorado - and left the rotting corpse of her dead baby son in her family’s spare room closet.
On April 29, Stacy Hite was trying to figure out what had been smelling up the house for several weeks. She followed her nose to the closet and found the tote bag. Stacy opened the bag to find plastic bags - and inside those, the decaying body of Morgan Hite’s baby, and a bloody green towel. That poor woman. I cannot even fathom the horror and disgust at instantly realizing what had been happening in her home for all those weeks. She probably thought it was a dead mouse, or a raccoon. To find a baby - her stepdaughter’s baby - boggles the mind.
The Hites called police and told them what they knew. The baby’s body was taken for autopsy, where it was determined that he had been born alive and suffocated, possibly inside the plastic bag his mother had put him in like so much trash.
Morgan Hite is being held without bond in Wasilla, Alaska pending extradition to Colorado. She is charged with first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death. I think a little time in a plastic bag might be a helpful deterrent to this kind of behavior in her future. About four minutes should do it.

PS Great writing, Imp…but I think in the last paragraph, you meant to say that “Morgan Hite” is being held…..not Stacy Hite.

May 8, 2008 at 11:23 am -What a nightmare for the family living in the house all that time. How does a person just go about her life as if nothing had happened after committing infanticide? It’s amazing how well denial works.
Her myspace is funny in a bad way… “MOMMA?” excuse me????
“you’re gonna be in trouble?” wrong, bitch.

May 8, 2008 at 11:23 am -OM-fucking-G! This one is a fine piece of work, eh? I hope someone is going to yank that little 4 year old away from this woman and give her a nice home where no sociopaths live. Geez. Could anything be colder? She not only calmly gave birth and shoved him in a bag to die, but she lived in the same room with the corpse for another month?
And what, exactly, did she think would happen in this scenario long-term? That no one would EVER find that baby? If she was there for a month, couldn’t she have found time to bury him in the backyard or drop him by a dump or something? How lazy can you be??
BIG KUDOS to the parents for instantly recognizing the deviance of this behavior and calling the police immediatement!

May 8, 2008 at 11:32 am -I can never ever fathom how a women can carry a baby deliver it and than discard their newborn like used toilet paper, their own baby, their flesh and blood a baby who depends upon their mother to survive.
Every time I hear stories like this cunt’s I get dizzy and nauseous, I would have taken the baby, I can guarantee there are many others that would too.
She had said she gave her baby up for adoption why not just do as you say? What a sick, selfish cunt, I hate her, fucking bitch!

May 8, 2008 at 12:17 pm -Right now, Mary’s father Nate Pokryfki has custody of her. He’s innocent in this, poor guy, and his Myspace is devoted to his daughter.
I’ve read a few places that Morgan Hite was having an issue about paternity as well, that this baby might not have been Nate’s child, so that could have factored into her decision. I think her defense will try to argue mental distress or something stupid like that.

May 8, 2008 at 12:31 pm -SO sad I looked at the pictures of her little girl she looked so happy with her daddy now she has to grow up knowing her “MOMMA” murdered her little tiny innocent baby brother and STUFFED HIM IN A BAG. How Horrible for her her family to find that little body just abandoned in a closet. I think of that baby boys first moments (also his LAST) and it brings tears to my eyes. what a cunt. I hate her. You have to not have a soul to carry life inside you and then murder it the moment it leaves your body. SHE HAD OTHER CHOICES. I would have taken that baby and wrapped his little body in a soft warm blankie and kissed his face and loved him like my own.
If she hates herself half as much as I hate her she is in hell right now. And she should be.
On a side note…she TOTALLY looks like Parisa from last season’s Real World. (Okay for the record I don’t watch that show…I was home sick…there was a marathon…I got sucked in….you know how it goes)

May 8, 2008 at 12:32 pm -OMFG. This story really pisses me off. Here I’ve been crying over 4 little orphaned kittens…trying to do everything in my power to get them healthy and survive. My heart is so full of love for these tiny little animals trying to survive. And motherfucker here is a story of some fucking good for nothing cunt that thinks nothing of birthing her human baby and abandoning it. Fuck me. She needs fucking slapped. How cruel and heartless does a fucking soul have to be? Fucking bitch!
Don’t spread your fucking legs bitch if you do not want to deal with the consequences. I say sew her fucking useless twat up. The bitch don’t need it.

The poor step mom having to discover the corpse. I would imagine she will have nightmares about that little find for a verrry long time.
I agree with you Ruby, why the hell not bury the poor thing or something.
Lazy fucking sociopath!

May 8, 2008 at 12:35 pm -Someone else to harass on My Space…ughhh the absolute lack of respect for life or self! If she had any ounce of intelligence or dignity she WOULD have given the baby up for adoption instead of telling that bullshit lie and doing the bullshit deed. And WTF is wrong w/ parents who blindly believe this type of shit?!

May 8, 2008 at 12:53 pm -This is the first story in a long time that has made me cry. That poor baby and stepmom. Yes, at least they did the right thing and turned her in, even though their hearts must be broken.
There are no words to describe what I think of twatwaffle. Her apathy is way too much for me to wrap my brain around.

May 8, 2008 at 2:17 pm -I certainly agree with that Hippiepoet, but while this bitch shouldn’t have an open twat, I think the Big Berthas in prison would disagree with her having her twat sewn up…that would limit the amount of fun they could have with their new toy. (:

May 8, 2008 at 2:23 pm -Yeah, it’s too bad somebody couldn’t cut it off and give it to Locks of Love or another charity that does human hair wigs for cancer patients. At least one small act of humanity would come of out of all this inhumanity.
That baby had just left her body and she turned on him. WTF? Maybe she was trying to get back with Nate and this baby wasn’t his? What a fucking bitch.

May 8, 2008 at 2:29 pm -I can’t even remotely imagine making that grim discovery and then reality smacking you in the face realizing that you were there when it happened and provided her the bags in which to stuff the poor, poor baby.
Don’t you know Stacy would like a few moments alone with her - making Stacy a party to such shit. I know I would. Now when I say Stacy was a “party to”, I’m not implying that she was a willing participant or even had any type of hint as to what was happening. I just know that’s how I would have felt and assume that she feels accordingly.
Even if I had just been trying to accommodate my step daughter and later discovered that I had given her the bags that she stuffed that poor baby in - well the guilt would kill me. I would be thinking “why didn’t I question her more?” or “what signs did I miss” or “why didn’t I do anything different?” I could go on with all the “or why didn’t I’s” but you get my point. No matter how innocent I was in all of this, the guilt would eat at me everyday and possibly drive me over the edge.

May 8, 2008 at 2:32 pm -Okay off subject here a little bit…but can someone please give me a definition of what a “twatwaffle” is? (besides that bitch in the mugshot above). I’m a little new here. The word has such a nice ring to it, but before I call someone that I want to know what it means : )
I did learn the word “asshat” on this site…and its come in handy quite a few times. Its my new favorite word. My husband was a little cranky and being well…an asshat…and when I pointed that out and used that word…he laughed so hard he forgot what he was crabby about.
So thank you, DD, for expanding my vocabulary….

May 8, 2008 at 3:20 pm -I too have enriched my vocabulary here. ‘Meat curtains’ is one of my personal favs and comes in just short of ‘moose knuckle’
Back on the subject of this thread though…I’m sure poor Stacy will now have to spend tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours in therapy, thanks to a kid who she was only related to by MARRIAGE. Way to go, Morgan Twatwaffle! I think her stepmother should get the 28 cents an hour they’ll be paying Morgan to roll tampons in prison!

May 8, 2008 at 4:04 pm -I also have learned some good words and phrases on DD, most of which I can use only on DD — meat curtains being a good example.
On the topic of the thread — do you all think baby killing has gone up with the acceptance of out-of-wedlock births? I don’t have ANY axe to grind here, just wondering what you all have observed. It seems to me there’s a large, large, large population of women with kids whom they don’t really want. The kids dangle along the edges of their lives like clunky accessories that they cannot wait to jettision.
Also, why does child birth take hours of groaning and screaming in hospitals, but baby-killers always seem able to step into a closet or bathroom and get through the entire process with no one knowing?

May 8, 2008 at 4:10 pm -i cannot even begin to fathom how anyone could do something like this. the moment my children were born, i just felt such joy and LOVE for them sweep over me. what kind of defective human could take a helpless newborn, whom they’d been feeling move inside them for months, and just throw the child away??? and even if you are twisted enough for infanticide to seem like a reasonable option for you, SAFE HAVEN LAWS. you stupid piece of shit. if you don’t want to love your baby, someone else will. just drop the baby off at a hospital! NO ONE EVEN HAS TO KNOW IT’S YOUR BABY! moron!!!!
damn. somebody just scrap this bitch. she’s clearly broken.

May 8, 2008 at 4:11 pm -As a mother myself…..I could not fathom doing this to a child. What was she thinking?!?! People these days are just plain sick. Babies are a blessing….if you can’t handle one…plently of loving families would love a baby of their own.
I hope they send her to jail for a long time! I do agree that a plastic bag for her…would be a great idea!

May 8, 2008 at 4:21 pm -I’m sure that Dad and Stepmom would NOT have had a problem with having her stay at their home, have a baby, give it away, and go back to her life in Alaska with none of her friends being any the wiser. Shit, people used to send their girls away to homes for unwed mothers if they were single and pregnant. Then they would tell everyone that ‘Suzy went to spend the summer at her Aunt Cecilia’s in Georgia’
Now, they might have had an issue with knowing that she was a tramp that didn’t even know who the father was.

May 8, 2008 at 4:27 pm -Those of us in posession of even a shred of sanity and decency would much prefer being a “slut” as opposed to being a baby killer.
This fucking waste of flesh now can proudly don a banner proclaiming her status as a “SLUTTY BABY KILLER.”
Awesome.

May 8, 2008 at 5:18 pm -Also that poor neighbor, knowing now that it was her bathroom where the baby boy was born and the blood. After Morgan left she probably had to clean and straighten up.
Poor stacy having to unzip that bag, not just the odor but the site as she inspected the contents. Wondering who else witnessed the contents.
I think selfishness is the cause for people that don’t consider adoption, it has to be hard to deal mentally with the unknown. Unless you can be free to see your child and know they are being cared for… has to be playing on your mind constantly.

May 8, 2008 at 6:05 pm -Wow… this fucking cunt needs to be wrapped in plastic and shoved in a tote somewhere. I can’t fucking believe people like this! Why the hell did she do this? She obviously knew about adoption, OBVIOUSLY knew that it was an option, and she didn’t give a flying fuck!
…. If they don’t put that bitch to death, that fucking cunt needs to have her uterus yanked the fuck out so she can never give birth and just destroy an innocent life like this ever again!
I agree with silvahalo68, may that baby’s cries haunt her every waking and sleeping moment again till the day she fucking is rotting in the ground!

May 8, 2008 at 6:30 pm -So glad you like it!! It does roll off the tongue doesn’t it? I find it is a good substitution for “cunt” bcs that seems rather harsh to some people so if you insult them with “twatwaffle”, they generally start to laugh and it takes a moment for them to realize you’ve just insulted the hell out of them.
The dictionary definition is: for women - a loose nasty dirty hairy vagina or the owner of said vagina; for men - a douchebag, a complete idiot, a dipshit unaware of their own limitations.

thepooh5
May 9, 2008 at 10:08 am -Becca - that was a fine explanation of the term and very true, especially on the “it takes a moment for them to realize you’ve just insulted the hell out of them”. Most people have already walked away or the conversation has ended before they ever grasp what was just said to them. Its priceless when you see their face and the realization of what you just called them sets in. The “waffle” part baffles the mind, I suppose.

May 10, 2008 at 9:08 am -Morgan Shite has a problem with lying? how about a problem with compassion?conscience? responsibility? humanity? Off skiing the slopes while her baby rots in a bag, in the very home of her benefactors, in the same room, no less, that she slept, dreamt and woke in, probably with her daughter. How many lives have been ruined or fuck up by such a callous and premeditated act. Yes, premeditated, and a birth probably induced some how, if she was still a couple months due. The only glitch was having to give birth in the neighbour’s house. God, the horror of it all.

May 10, 2008 at 12:13 pm -Oh my god this made me cry! I see alot of stories about bitches who just dump their babys or kill them after birth but this takes the cake. She discussed adoption, she must have at one time thought of it as an option, and she still did what she did. My boyfriend was put up for adoption at birth in 1982 by a very unselfish, loving mother. She deserves the title of mom, not this cunt. I thank the heavens everyday that she made that choice, so I could meet him, and now I am pregnant with his child.
See the beauty of adoption, you heartless bitch!

I think its cause for celebration. She could so easily have done what this bitch did, except the 16 year old had more morals and a conscience which obviously Morgan is missing.

May 10, 2008 at 1:56 pm -You know, when 15 year olds do this, I almost feel bad for them. ALMOST. But the cunt is 22. My mom was raising two kids when she was that age, and she did a good job. Damn, she could have least dropped it off with someone. It’s not like her having a child is new.
