## Resource

In April 2023, the community of Hudson, Ohio, was shaken by the discovery of Dr. Todd Morgan, a respected university professor, who was found murdered in his home after failing to pick up his daughter from school. While he was a beloved father, an investigation into the shooting revealed a private life involving struggles with sobriety and the solicitation of sex workers. Police utilized neighbor testimonies, Ring doorbell footage, and an accidental 911 call to identify Teriana Pashel as the primary suspect. Evidence including DNA, cell phone tracking, and matching shell casings linked Pashel to both Morgan’s death and a previous unsolved homicide. Facing an overwhelming mountain of evidence, she eventually accepted a plea deal for a sentence of 23 years to life. This tragic case highlights how a single lapse in judgment led to a violent encounter that devastated a family and ended a distinguished academic career.
