as reported missing by his mother from their home in East Feliciana Parish on May 15, 2001. He was only 2 years old at the time of his disappearance. The FBI, Louisiana State Police and the LSP Crime Lab later joined the investigation.

"She is the person who reported him missing and is assumed to be the last person to know his whereabouts. She will not talk with investigators on the advice of her attorney, which is her right," EFPSO said in a Wednesday press release.
Reward available for information
Investigators follow leads as they become available. A $10,000 reward is available for information leading to Morgan's recovery. EFPSO asks that anyone with information contact any of the investigating agencies in this case.
