Biography

Season Eleven

In Season Eleven, Morgan assisted the Las Vegas team in Los Angeles, while they were trying to find the location of escaped serial killer Nate Haskell.

She documented most of the evidence and even disobeyed her supervisor by sending private information to Catherine and Nick.

After a long search, Morgan's investigation helped the CSI team to find Haskell, but the fallout of the investigation) which ended with Haskell's death at Ray's hands) led to her getting fired.

Season Twelve

After Morgan lost her job and moved to Las Vegas, she quickly became a strong member of the team. She was introduced to Greg by Nick who when all bashful and got his words mixed up.

On the way to her first case, her GPS malfunctions while she was driving near the hill from where the crime scene was and decided to drive down it and told Stokes that Vegas needs more roads.

Later on she and Sanders investigated a man who apparently drowned in chocolate. She later assisted Stokes with the investigation of the murder of a maid at the Eclipse.

During the investigation, Morgan was very much convinced that the person, a prince from the Middle-East, was responsible for the maid's murder. She was shocked when the prince gave her a check for $100,000 to give to the murdered maid's family.

Morgan later volunteered to accompany a victim back to a hospital, to gather evidence during the journey. The victim managed to gain control of Brody's gun and proceeded to hold the helicopter hostage.

After the helicopter crashed, Morgan stumbled out of the debris to find the original victim still alive.

They proceeded to hide from the approaching mobsters, and the victim gave Brody back her gun to defend herself. After her rescue by the LVPD, she took mandatory time off, only to return early to assist with a murder case.

Season Thirteen

In the last episode of the season Skin in the Game, Morgan suggests going undercover to get the abductor and serial killer of the missing women.

After visiting the potential killer under permanent survelliance of the Las Vegas Crime Lab, the man she visits throws her out of his apartment, mentioning his driver would take her back to the place she got picked up in the first place.

When D.B. Russell takes a look at a USB Flash Drive, which was given to him before he sees the plan of the killer abducting Morgan as well.

When Greg Sanders and Nick Stokes stop the SUV Morgan entered, she isn't in there anymore.

The episode ends with a cliffhanger: Russell tells Finn the killer now holds Brass's daughter and Morgan captive...

Season 14

Morgan is held by the potential killer, who asks Brass to chose whether Ellie or her will survive. She eventually stabs the killer and escapes with Ellie. She gets into a fight with him, which is ended by Ellie killing him - and then shooting her. She is found with a weak pulse and taken to hospital, where she regains consciousness after surgery.


Relationships

Morgan's closest relationships seem to be with her father, Greg Sanders (each with their own seperate relationship pages linked below) and David Hodges.

Morgan seems to be easily well liked since she helped the team in Cello and Goodbye against her supervisor's orders and Morgan possibly got fired for doing this.
