Eric Preimesberger - Found Deceased 8/19/10

Eric Preimesberger case: A continuing look into this mysterious case

Posted on July 19th, 2010 by Valhall

This is to allow the discussion to continue on the mysterious disappearance of Eric Dee Preimesberger in Reno, Nevada some where around the 20th of April, 2010. At this time Eric’s wife, Kristi, (last known person to have seen him) is still missing. Her previous accounts to family, friends and law enforcement on the events surrounding Eric’s disappearance are suspect, inconsistent, and downright hinky. Kristi was last seen (as far as we know) on June 16th after spending a couple of weeks with Eric’s stepsisters in Vancouver, Wa. She left their home with two small children, Ivy Preimesberger – age 6, and Damion Preimesberger – age 20+ months. Based on the limited amount of information and past history the children are considered endangered.

In addition to Kristi Morgan Preimesberger being missing, with her and Eric’s two small children, Tim Morgan, Kristi’s brother is now missing. Tim had traveled to Reno, NV sometime either before or right after Eric went missing. He is reported to have helped Kristi load up all belongings at the rent home she and Eric had shared in Reno, and accompany Kristi and the children back to his home in Eugene, Oregon. They stayed there until they left to spend time in Vancouver with Eric’s stepsisters.

Below are the previous articles covering this case. They also include missing persons flyers created here at The Hinky Meter. We ask you assist in whatever manner possible in finding these missing adults and children.

This is the first I've heard of this case...It reads like a mystery with all these people missing...Wonder if they've assumed false identities and moved somewhere to start over...

From the comments posted at The Hinky Meter, there is strong reason to believe Eric is dead. As for the others they seem to be making every effort to hide from everyone.
The family moved from Reno to Oregon using a moving pod. The pod has been examined by LE with cadaver dogs, (3 of them) with all hitting on the pod, indicating decop of a human corpse. There is great concern for Eric's two small children.
Many feel the children are in danger.

This is horrible, I hope the children are safe. I can't understand why people don't remember that divorce is an option, it's not the final end.....how sad.

Welcome shortcircuit, and thank you for the summary. I haven't had a chance to read everything at HM about this case. I am hoping that the family gets some answers soon, it's got to be horrible not knowing.

From what we know at this point the wife was into pills. There marriage was always bit rocky, and we know she had one child while in the marriage, by another man. This man now has custody of that child. The last time Eric's Mother spoke with him on the phone, was on his wedding anniversary, April 20th. His wife had gone out to get food for the family, and was gone for 11 hours. She called a family member saying she was stuck in snow, although there wasn't any reports of snow in the area at that time.

My best guess is, when at last she did return, there was an altercation and possibly Eric was severely injured or killed.

With in a couple weeks of her move to Oregon, she had left her brother's place and gone to Washington state to stay with Eric's step sister. From there she left saying she was going to her Mother's in New Mexico, but never arrived. Her Mother claims she has spoken with her and she and the kids are all OK. The Mother sees no reason that LE should e looking for her as she has done nothing wrong. The only ones who can be trusted are members of Eric's family.

Has her mother's phone records checked out to verify her claim that she spoke to the daughter? And did they check to see what number the daughter was calling from, i.e. cell phone, motel, store, etc.

Some parts of the investigation are not being shared. We know the wife has a cell phone, so assume this is her means of communication.
Eric's Mother had not been able to get authorities to look into his disappearance until she contacted The Hinky Meter owner and asked for help. There has been a long of delay in getting the investigation started.

Eric Preimesberger case: Keeping his story alive

Posted on August 4th, 2010 by Valhall

A special message from Kay, Eric’s mother.

I have spoken with Detective Myers and he would appreciate it if the media could get photos of Eric out and list him as a missing and endangered adult. Eric is missing under suspicious circumstances and anyone with information can contact Detective Myers at the Reno Police Department directly. His phone number is 775-657-4801. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can call Secret Witness in Reno at 775-322-4900 or on the internet at secretwitness.com.

Okay, change of plans.

Kay has had to taken her paraplegic daughter into the hospital because of a pretty concerning pressure wound. The radio interview with Kay will NOT be held tomorrow. Jan will reschedule it for a future date. However, the Barretts will briefly discuss Eric’s case.

Please pray for Kay and her daughter.

Wow, Julie! I finally found this thread with a comment box! Yes, I am making progress! LOL

Julie, for your info, Kay Wilson, Eric's mom, and Valhall (The Hinky Meter) will be call in guests on Simon Barrett's Radio Show this Sunday, 8-15-10, at 3 p.m. CDT.

They were suppose to appear last Sunday but Kay had to cancel due to a family emergency.

I am really looking forward to Kay and Val's guest appearance.

I need to go but I will try to come back tonight and figure things out here. After I submit this, I will try to find my way back to the Messages and see if I can leave anybody a reply. I did see your message about telling me I need to comment on a thread first before I can PM.

What would I do if I could not attend the School of Julie! Deja Vu again . . . .almost a year to date! I'm going to see if I can figure out how to use a Smiley! Cool!

I can post a Smiley and I'm trying to figure out the edit feature! Making substantial progress here. Maybe it won't take years to learn my way here! LOL

Ann, you're doing great!

Thank you, Julie! I'm only as good as what my teacher, as in you, taught me! Lot to learn here!

Wow, Julie! That is cool! I like that!

There might be a break in Eric's case. Randy, a relative (I think) of Kay's, left a comment on Eric's thread at the Hinky saying Tim and Kristi have been found! Said Tim confessed. Here is the Link and the comment:

Julie, there may be other updates later tonight. You might want to monitor the comment board on that thread so you can update your article.

Julie, I just love your 10:44 p.m. Makes me laugh!

Where is my 10:44?

Oh, you probably mean the 5:44, yeah, I love your head on there!

Valhall is reporting that Eric's mother has received confirmation that he is dead.

http://www.thehinkymeter.com/2010/08/13/eric-preimesberger-case-eric-confirmed-dead/

So, according to a comment at Val's site, I take it that Eric has been confirmed dead...I am extremely saddened by this and had hoped that he could have been found alive...Sooo many questions yet to be answered...I know Kay has been worried to say the least...Now she can start the healing process once he is laid to rest...My prayers go out to Kay and the rest of Eric's family...

Hi, Estee!

Yes, Eric is confirmed dead.

On the previous thread, at The Hinky (Val's), a family member made a comment that Kristi and Tim (Eric's wife and her brother) were found and Tim confessed. Did not say what Tim confessed to.

Also, Marica, Kay's sister made a brief comment about Eric is confirmed dead and she said the children are safe.

It is good to know that the children are safe. Kay has been so worried about Ivy and Damien. Here is the Link to the previous Eric thread at Val's:

Eric Preimesberger case: Eric confirmed dead

Posted on August 13th, 2010 by Valhall

It is with a very sad heart I report that Kay has received confirmation that her dear son, Eric Dee Preimesberger, is dead. We received the message via the family just a bit ago:

Marcia here…Kay has asked that I post the following message: The children are safe. Thank you ALL for your awesome efforts! The search for Eric is over. It has been confirmed. Kay says, “My Baby is confirmed dead”. As we are authorized to do so, more info will be released. Again, Thank you all soooo very much! Thank you Val for this forum so these wonderful people can do what they do best.

Sincerely,

The Family of the Late Great Eric Dee Preimesberger

Jan Barrett, Editor, BNN, wrote a beautiful article about Eric Preimesberger today.

At the request of Kay, Eric's mom, Jan and Simon Barrett agreed to cover Eric's case. They have written articles and Eric is now featured on Simon's Sunday Radio Show.

Kay, Eric's mom, e-mailed me Thursday and Friday and she was excited that she and Val were going to be guests on Sunday's show. She was excited because she was going to get exposure for Eric's case and Kristi and the two children, Ivy and Damion, who were on the run. I don't know if Kay will be able to make an appearance this Sunday or not.

I noticed on the Comment Board that Valhall and some of the folks that post at The Hinky Meter left a comment on Eric's thread. I left a comment also. Here is the Link to the article:

BNN article by Jan Barrett, Editor

"Eric Preimesberger May He Rest In Peace"

For your info, Simon's Radio Show is this Sunday at 3 p.m. CDT.

They will be discussing the Casey Anthony Case, Haleigh Cummings, Eric Preimesberger and Zachary Pittman ( a young man from Pearl River, Louisiana) who has been missing for over a year. His mother, Christy Ragas, has made several guest appearances on the show. I think she might make an appearance on this Sunday's show.

Zachary's case is kind of similar to Eric's. I have been working with Jan Barrett and Christy in trying to get the major TV stations and newspaper in New Orleans, La. to cover Zachary's case. I have personally talked to the decision makers and did a follow up e-mail with all of the major media sources in New Orleans.

Tomorrow (Monday) is a scheduled follow-up date so I am hoping we can get Zachary's case some exposure. Christy thinks her son is dead and he has been murdered. Very interesting case!

If anyone is interested in Simon's Radio Show, here is the Link. You can click on in the article to listen to the radio show. I think it will be a very interesting show. I am looking forward to what will be disclosed about Eric's case.

This is so very sad.........

Updated info: Also, please note the last paragraph!

"Brother, sister face murder charges"

The Register - Guard
Eugene, Oregon
8-17-10

A Eugene man and his sister are being held in a Minnesota jail after police there arrested the siblings on warrants charging them with murder.

The arrests of Timothy Wayne Morgan and Kristi Michelle Preimes­berger come about a month after Eugene police searched a portable storage unit, looking for the body of the woman’s husband, Eric Preimesberger of Reno, Nev.

Police in Roseville, Minn., arrested Mor-gan, 25, on Aug. 10 on a felony drug possession charge. That set in motion a series of events that led authorities to find out later in the week that the pair was wanted in Nevada on murder charges, Roseville police Lt. Lorne Rosand said Monday.

Wow! This is nice! Whoever did this . . . . it looks nice. sitemama, did you do this? Was it FystyAngel or Justice4all? Being that I'm fairly new, I don't know who else could have put the Link like this. Anyway, great job!

I noticed the comment about blogs in the last paragraph. It's good to see the news sites starting to recognize the fact that blogs often bring awareness to cases that are pretty much being ignored by the media.

I'm behind in my reading about this case at the Hinky Meter. Has anybody ever said what Tim and Kristi's motive might be?

Hi, Justice!

I am following this case closely at The Hinky. No motive has been disclosed yet.

I just posted a Link at Val's not long ago. It is an excellent article. Very informative. Includes mug shots (I assume). Details how the arrests came about. The $60,000 in cash made me think Tim was selling drugs. There was all kinds of narcotics seized when Tim was arrested in addition to the $60,000 cash.

Per the article, it is expected Kristi and her brother, Tim, will be extradited to Nevada today or Thursday. The article is worth a read:

I don't think a motive has come out yet, but he was beaten to death with a baseball bat.

Val and Kay have both posted at UBTJ as well a some "guests". I haven't went back to see which links you guys don't have that we do and sadly don't have time at this moment to go look. Like you, I've only had the time to skim most cases these days.

My heart and Prayers go out to the entire families at this time. May God Bless those kids.

All I know is there was an argument that took place and Eric ended up dead:

It was an argument that took 29-year-old Eric Preimesberger’s life; apparently one between him and his brother-in-law, Timothy Wayne Morgan. It happened just days before he and his wife were to move with Tim to Eugene, Oregon and start a new life with a new business and great hopes. And after the fight had ended, Eric’s wife, Kristi Michelle (Morgan) Preimesberger knew her brother had mortally wounded her husband. But instead of helping Eric, or taking any action that could have saved his life, Kristi chose to “aide her brother in avoiding arrest for Eric Preimesberger’s death”. That’s what the warrant against Kristi Preimesberger states.

Eric Preimesberger, The Story Of A Man Who Loved Life, A Man Whose Life Was Cut Short

Eric's life was taken by a senseless act of violence, in Reno, NV.

Eric's life was taken sometime between April 21, 2010 and April 24, 2010 by a senseless act of violence, in Reno, NV. His legal date of death is the day the M.E.'s office received him into their care which was 8/19/2010.

The purpose of the article you are reading is to pay tribute to Eric Preimesberger's life. Katfish.....ponders did a report on Eric in July of this year, entitled: The Mysterious Disappearance Of Eric Preimesberger. If you are interested in learning about the circumstances in which Eric went missing, please follow the link above to the previous article.

I am working on an article entitled: The Mystery Is Solved, Eric Preimesberger's Remains Are Found, The Quest for Justice begins. In that article I will provide details about Eric's death, those who are accused and the long journey Eric's family and friends will take in their quest for justice. To be honest, I was working on that article before I started this one. In an effort to protect the investigation, the decision was made to hold off on reporting any details about the arrest of the accused and the admissions they were making until 8 / 24. The accused have now been arraigned, so it's ok to report those details....But... as I worked on it, I kept coming back to Eric and felt the need to learn more about his life. As I came to learn more about Eric I also learned what a devastating loss his senseless killing was to so many.

Victim's mother says she knew something was off
By Jaclyn O'Malley • jomalley@rgj.com • August 20, 2010

Kay Wilson said she knew something wasn't right when she heard that her 29-year-old son had abandoned his family and cherished motor scooter days before they were supposed to move from Reno to Oregon.

On Friday, she learned that her instincts were right.
That was the day Reno homicide detectives traveled to Minnesota to arrest Eric Preimesberger's best friend and brother-in-law, Timothy Wayne Morgan, on a charge he fatally bludgeoned Preimesberger with a baseball bat on April 24 during a fight at Preimesberger's home on Red Baron Boulevard.
Wilson's daughter-in-law, Kristi Michelle Preimesberger, is being held on a material witness warrant with $100,000 cash bail. She is alleged to be an eyewitness to her husband's killing and is accused of covering it up to spare her brother from facing criminal charges.

Kay Wilson, Eric Preimesberger's mother, asked Jan Barrett to publish Eric's obituary.

Jan, Editor of BNN, wrote this beautiful, heartfelt article about Eric. After reading the obit that Kay wrote, I feel like I knew Eric.

Mother of Eric Preimesberger’s Words In Memory of Her Son
Posted on August 30th, 2010 by Jan Barrett

A few weeks ago a caring friend online that told me about a mother, Kay Wilson, needing help getting the word out about her son, Eric Preimesberger that had disappeared. She had not heard from him since April 20th, 2010 when she spoke to him on his wedding anniversary. She talked to him about the move he and his wife and their two children, Ivy Rayne and Damien Eric, planned to go from Reno, Nevada to Eugene Oregon. Eric planned to start a new business with his wife, Kristi’s brother, Timmy Morgan. Sadly Kay never had the chance again to hear her son’s voice again. You can find my first article here on BNN which I wrote on August 5th, 2010.

9 days later it was reported on The Hinky Meter, by ValHall that Eric’s wife, Kristi and her brother, Timmy were located in Minnesota and the two children were OK. At the time all that we were told was that Timmy had confessed but it wasn’t exactly clear as to what exactly he had confessed to. You can find my report here from August 14th, 2010.

Later it was learned that Eric died a brutal death at the hands of his brother in law while apparently Kristi watched. Val has an article which you can read here explaining it in more details. Val I personally would like to thank you for your coverage of Eric’s disappearance. You have been a blessing to Kay and her family. God bless your heart.

A few days ago I received a request from Kay asking me to please read the obituary she wrote in honor of her son on our Sunday Broadcast but unfortunately we had decided to cancel that program but we will return next week. I asked Kay if she would like me to post it here in my article and she said yes.

Here is the heartbreaking obituary that Kay wrote in memory of her loving son, Eric Preimesberger.
