Moments Before Secret Tinder Date Turns Into Massacre

Summary of the Video’s Content (Todd Morgan Murder Investigation)

• A welfare check turns into a homicide case: On April 19, 2023, police were called after Todd Morgan (41-year-old CSU professor and father of two) did not pick up his 4-year-old daughter. When officers arrived, they found Todd shot dead inside his home. At first, it appeared consistent with possible suicide, but evidence soon contradicted that theory.

• Crime scene details suggest the killing was planned and involves an intruder: Investigators noted multiple shell casings, no weapon, and a damaged/broken door frame, raising questions about whether someone escaped or forced entry. The scene also showed troubling inconsistencies, including blood outside and a bloody shoe print. The master bedroom was found in a chaotic state (including condoms and alcohol/snack items), which investigators suggested could connect Todd’s private life to the motive.

• Todd’s hidden personal relationships come to light: Detectives canvassed the area and interviewed neighbors, including a woman named Linda. She said something felt “weird” about Todd and described an environment where others weren’t typically allowed in. Other neighbors reported seeing activity at Todd’s home in the early morning hours.

• Key witness timing and a vehicle: Neighbors Eugene and Sherry reported seeing a light-colored/small car (described differently by different witnesses, but generally similar) associated with a person who went in and out of Todd’s home around the time of the shooting. Ring camera footage provided a rough timeline, suggesting the person left around 7:30 a.m.

• A 911 call becomes a major breakthrough: Investigators learned that a 911 call was placed from Todd’s address shortly after the gunfire—initially appearing like an accidental SOS, but detectives suspected it may have been intentional or made during chaos. The call was traced to a woman later identified as Terreona Pascal (also referenced in subtitles as Tiana/Terreona).

• Terreona Pascal was tracked and found linked to the murder scene: Police sought her movements and obtained warrants for digital data. Records indicated Terreona’s phone traveled in the same area and along a similar route as Todd’s phone, and that Todd’s phone later stopped moving (never recovered). Terreona was arrested at an apartment complex.

• Link to an unsolved Cleveland homicide (weapon connection): Investigators connected evidence from Todd’s scene—specifically a 9mm cartridge casing—to a previous Cleveland homicide from 2021. Terreona was tied to that older investigation, including as the registered owner of the firearm used in that case.

• Digital evidence ties Terreona directly to Todd: Investigators confronted Terreona with digital and behavioral evidence, including:

  • attempts to hide involvement (including questions about whether police could track her if she removed her SIM),
  • frequent checking of news about Todd’s murder (refreshing more than 40 times),
  • Bumble communications, including messages referencing “exchange numbers” and a contact relationship with Todd,
  • Todd’s Cash App payments to her (including $50 and later $1,000) occurring around the murder timeline,
  • connection to a vehicle matching what witnesses saw near Todd’s home.

• Cause of death and motive indicators: An autopsy indicated Todd was shot seven times, including a close-range fatal shot. Investigators believed the killer knew Todd well enough to approach at close range. They also emphasized that Todd’s devices were untouched and nothing was stolen, pointing to a targeted personal attack rather than robbery.

• Why investigators believed she acted with money/obsession in mind: The video presents Terreona as someone seeking payment/arrangements through dating apps, framing the murder as connected to a secret, transactional relationship and escalating conflict.

• Outcome: plea deal and sentencing: Terreona initially pleaded not guilty, then accepted a plea deal on the day her trial was set to begin. She pleaded guilty to Todd Morgan’s murder and received a sentence of 20 years to life, with possible parole after 23 years.
