The Tragic Death Of Instagram Model 'Miss Mercedes Morr'

One of Jenae Gagnier's family members, in particular, believes that the suspect identified in the homicide investigation might have been stalking Gagnier prior to her murder. According to Daily Mail, Gagnier's sister, London, engaged in a heated exchange on Instagram wherein she tried to quash rumors that Gagnier's death was the result of an attempted robbery. London penned a response in an Instagram post on August 30 that read, "It was just a stalker from outta [sic] state who'd BEEN stalking her."

While the exact reason for the murder has yet to be uncovered, one might be inclined to accept the stalking theory due to the sheer amount of followers the model has garnered on Instagram alone. Still, Gagnier's father expressed displeasure with the amount of misinformation circulating around his daughter's death. "The false statements put out by social media and several news outlets is alarming. The death of my daughter is still under investigation. Until we have all the facts no statement will be made please respect the family," he penned in a statement via Twitter. According to the Houston Chronicle (via Insider), "It is an ongoing investigation to determine a motive in the case." 

According to The Daily Mail, upsetting details have arisen like lipstick messages sprawled on Gagnier's wall — and that the attacker may have been in the apartment for multiple days. Our sincerest condolences go out to the entire family during this most upsetting time.
