 in two court cases has waived her right to jury trials, instead choosing to have a judge decide her fate.

She’ll also have to do that facing the full force of evidence investigators found on her cellphone and two laptops after a judge denied her attempt to throw it out on technicalities in the law.

April Marie Morganroth, known in Wyoming as a news reporter by the name of Marie Hamilton, filed her motions to waive her jury trial this week.

Her attempt to quash the electronic evidence that allegedly ties her to forging exhibits presented to the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council and lying to the board in an environmental case dealing with wind farms in her first case was denied Wednesday.

The evidence also relates to allegedly forged documents related to the purchase of property she claimed was bought with money from a U.S. Department of Agriculture loan, according to court documents.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"The Warrants"}]

Hamilton argued that all three search warrants — one each for her cellphone and laptops — were invalid because they were approved by a judge in another jurisdiction and for “technical irregularities.”

“Ms. Morganroth asserts that all three warrants are ‘invalid’ because they were signed by Judge Clark C. Allen, a Circuit Court Judge for the Eighth Judicial District and captioned in the Circuit Court of Converse County, as opposed to Platte County,” wrote Platte County District Court Judge Edward Buchanan in his Wednesday denial.

He also dismissed her claim that investigators exceeded the scope of the warrants and accessed more information from her devices than they were legally allowed to.

They did this by copying “bit-for-bit” her hard drives to then doing deep-dive searches of them, according to her motion to quash.

“Nowhere on any warrant does it state that an entire hard drive can be seized and copied,” it says.

Buchanan wrote that “courts have routinely upheld the seizure or copying of hard drives and other storage devices in order to effectuate a proper search for the categories of documents or files listed in a warrant.”

He continued to cite legal precedent that “a computer search may be as extensive as reasonably required to locate the items described in the warrant.

“There is no evidence before this Court to suggest that law enforcement improperly seized property or searched items beyond the scope of the warrant,” Buchanan concluded. “There are no grounds to exclude the evidence obtained during the searches.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"The First Case"}]

 in early March on suspicion of submitting forged documents and lying about her credentials during state permitting hearings in which she opposed a controversial wind farm project, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed in that case.

Hamilton was the publisher of the short-lived Wyoming Sentinel, a startup publication that has been inactive since late last year that covered Platte, Goshen and Laramie counties. She also has worked as a freelance writer for Wyoming outlets. 

The case against her alleges Hamilton submitted forged documents meant to sway public officials, including letters purporting to be from a doctor and teacher.

Investigators also said Hamilton lied about her credentials and that she was a property owner near the project, the affidavit says.

The doctor and teacher later denied writing the documents Hamilton claimed were from them, the affidavit says.

Hamilton also claimed to own a property on JJ Road in Chugwater, making her a concerned landowner potentially impacted by the wind project, the affidavit says. However, the land actually belongs to somebody else.

The charges for her first case tally as three counts of possession of forged writings, three of forgery, and four counts of perjury.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"The Second Case"}]

About a month after hit with her first 10 forgery- and perjury-related charges, Hamilton was in court again, 

Those charges relate to an attempted home purchase, according to court documents, and include five counts each of possession of forged writings and forgery.

When Converse County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Benjamin Peech investigated Hamilton’s claim that she bought property with a federal loan, he uncovered more irregularities, he wrote in an affidavit.

The property is registered under Platte County’s mapping system to another couple with a different surname, Peech wrote. 

His investigation found that the other couple were willing to sell the property, and Hamilton told them that she and her husband wanted to buy and it and were prequalified for a USDA loan through Neighbor’s Bank.

Because the property didn’t meet loan standards, Hamilton told the couple she had been approved for a USDA grant to work on issues and bring the property up to standards, the affidavit states.

Hamilton and her husband made a deal with the homeowners in July 2025 to lease the property and use “sweat equity” to bring it up to the standards required for the loan, the affidavit states.

Documents provided to the couple and their Realtor included initial letters with USDA letterhead showing pre-approval from the “USDA Rural Development and Neighbor’s Bank” for a $365,000 loan dated June 10, 2025.

A letter provided by Hamilton to the property owners also showed USDA grant approvals for $35,000 dated Nov. 6, 2025, the affidavit says.

When Hamilton started to become late on rent payments earlier this year and had not provided work logs to the couple, they “began to be concerned and press Hamilton about her progress with improvements on the property,” the affidavit states.

Hamilton provided another letter dated Jan. 28, 2026, stating it represented USDA “Rural Development — Rural Communities Home Buyer Program Notice of Nearing Completion and Continued Work,” the affidavit states.

Page one of the letter states that the work was nearly “80%” complete, Peech wrote.

Other paperwork allegedly submitted to the property owners by Hamilton included invoices from “Cowgirl Demolition and Excavation LLC” showing she had paid $3,075 for repairs on the property’s home and “Pete’s Builders Roofing and Restoration” showing an invoice of $7,890 that was “paid in full.”

However, when contacted by Peech, the USDA and two contractors all said that they never sent any of those letters.

Hamilton is next set to see a courtroom on Oct. 8 for a conference ahead of a trial scheduled for Nov. 2-5.

She posted a $5,000 cash bond in her first case and remains free on a $20,000 signature-only bond in the second.

If convicted and given the maximum penalties and concurrent sentences, she could get up to 140 years in prison, 65 years in the first case and 75 for the second.

A crude-oil pipeline proposed between Guernsey and Cushing, Oklahoma, is poised to strengthen Wyoming’s role as a key crossroads in North America’s oil network — even though it likely won’t move a single barrel of Wyoming crude.

The project, called the Liberty Bridge Pipeline, will connect at Guernsey with a project previously proposed by Canada’s Southbow and True Companies’ for a 650-mile cross-border pipeline that would carry an initial 550,000 barrels of Canadian crude daily from Hardisty, Alberta, to Guernsey. 

The pipeline could eventually scale to 1.3 million barrels of crude per day.

The Guernsey hub is an important oil and gas crossroads in Wyoming, sending oil to the Midwest as well as to Cushing, but much of its capacity for the Gulf Coast was already spoken for. That raised questions as to how half a million or more new barrels of Canadian crude arriving in Wyoming would get to the markets that need it.

With the announcement of the new pipeline, the mystery is solved. 

Bridger Pipeline spokesman Bill Salvin confirmed for Cowboy State Daily that Bridger and Southbow are teaming to build the pipeline and that it will connect with the previously proposed pipeline from Alberta. 

“Bridger and Southbow are going to jointly develop the Liberty Bridge Pipeline through this joint venture that’s going to be called Liberty Bridge Pipeline LLC,” Salvin said. “And essentially it’s going to be along existing pipeline corridors.”

The joint venture has already begun outreach to landowners and communities along the route, Salvin added. 

The decision to move forward with Liberty Bridge Pipeline follows a successful open season for the previously proposed pipeline segments from Hardisty to Guernsey, which was outlined in May by Southbow in an online media statement. 

Even though the proposed pipeline won’t likely carry any Wyoming crude oil, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have significant economic impacts for Wyoming and its oil and gas industry.

Salvin didn’t have figures yet for how many construction jobs will be involved, but University of Wyoming economist Rob Godby has told Cowboy State Daily in previous interviews that such projects are likely to bring in substantial numbers of high-paying construction work, long-term pipeline jobs, and higher tax revenues for the state from oil and gas revenue. 

“Pipelines aren’t minor,” Godby has said. “They affect the local economies for a period of time.”

The Rocky Mountain Express Pipeline, built in the early 2000s, illustrates the dynamic.

“That was a really huge gas pipeline to move Wyoming natural gas to the Chicago hub and beyond,” he said. “It had huge impacts on our construction industry, because you had like, literally, man camps that were moving along the pipeline, and hundreds of welders working on different segments.”

Significant tax revenues are also associated with such projects for the state and counties along the route.

The project also has knock-on effects for the oil and gas industry, Wyoming oilman, Steve Degenfelder, who works as a land manager for Kirkwood Oil and Gas, told Cowboy State Daily. 

“Since Wyoming has always had a disadvantage because it is farthest from the main marketplaces, any additional capacity to Cushing, which in turn has access to the Gulf Coast, should help Wyoming oil producers get higher prices, which also translates into higher severance taxes to the state and ad valorem taxes to counties,” he said. “A lot of oil from Utah is even coming to Guernsey these days, because the refineries in Salt Lake City are full.”

The project also bolsters Guernsey as a hub, Denver-based oil and gas analyst Matthew Lewis told Cowboy State Daily. Lewis is founder of Plainview Energy Analytics.

“The Guernsey hub is a major hub,” Lewis told Cowboy State Daily. “It’s an important hub. It’s probably the most important hub in all of the Rocky Mountain area, and this just helps with that. Having all that storage there — it’s important to be able to batch different grades of crude. They’ll have to likely build significantly even more storage at Guernsey because of this project and that will help Guernsey.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"A Smarter Keystone XL"}]

The corridor from Alberta to Guernsey and then from Guernsey to Cushing does use portions of pipe laid for Keystone XL, which has had some describing the new pipeline as a revival of that project.

Energy analyst Kyle Bertamini, with energy research firm Enverus, describes the broader system as a kind of “segmented” Keystone.

“It solves a lot of the same initiatives that Keystone XL was trying to do,” he said. “But it’s doing it in a way that’s maybe less controversial and follows a lot of the rights-of-way of existing pipelines … making it a little bit easier to get some of the regulatory and necessary environmental permits.”

The new route differs from Keystone XL’s in a couple critical ways. 

First, it doesn’t go through South Dakota or Nebraska, where there was intense opposition to the pipeline from Indigenous and environmental groups. 

It also follows existing pipeline corridors, thus avoiding unfragmented agricultural land, which also became controversial for Keystone XL.

Liberty Bridge Pipeline will cut southeast out of the Guernsey hub, running through Colorado and Kansas to get to Cushing.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"With A Three-Part Build"}]

The pipeline is actually three overall segments. There’s the Alberta to Montana border segment, which is being built by Calgary-based Southbow, and there’s the Phillips County, Montana, to Guernsey portion, which Bridger Pipeline will construct. The third leg, Guernsey to Cushing, is the joint venture between Southbow and Bridger.

“That third segment is going to follow the Liberty right-of-way, which was a previously proposed pipeline project that has been canceled,” Bertamini said. “They’ll now build this third and final leg that will take the oil sands barrels down into Cushing.”

Capacity details for the Guernsey-to-Cushing segment haven’t been publicly confirmed, though its obvious purpose is to carry the crude oil from the previously announced segment, which will start with an initial capacity of 550,000 barrels of crude oil per day and can scale to up to 1.3 million.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Challenges Have Surfaced"}]

The project already faces some wrinkles. A coalition of Montana residents and the Montana Environmental Information Center (MEIC), along with Earthjustice, have filed a legal challenge over a waiver issued to a Bridger Pipeline subsidiary that allows the company to skip certain corporate financial disclosures, as well as the state’s exhaustive environmental analysis, which includes calculated estimates of the potential size, frequency and geographic impact of pipeline leaks. 

The groups said under law Montana DEQ was strictly required to advance public notice and host a formal public hearing before granting such a waiver.

Politics, rather than environmental protests, are the project’s biggest obstacle, both Bertamini and Lewis said.

“You saw (permit revocation) two times with Obama and Biden,” Lewis said. “They can just revoke or not issue — and then the project’s essentially dead.”

That has Southbow calling for proof that a U.S. presidential permit is “durable” before it proceeds with its partial revival of the Keystone XL pipeline, company executives said during a May energy roundtable in Calgary. The company plans to decide whether to invest by mid-May 2027, but has said it won’t move forward without some assurance that its permit cannot just be revoked by a subsequent administration.

A legislative fix, which strips the executive branch of unilateral permit power, is working its way through Congress. 

The Promoting Cross-Border Energy Infrastructure Act has already passed the House but is stalled in the Senate, where it requires 60 votes to overcome filibusters. 

Still, despite that, optimism for the project is running high, Bertamini added.

“From our perspective, this has a higher chance of moving forward than Keystone XL did,” he said. “In terms of momentum, the likelihood of the pipeline getting constructed is quite high at this point.”

Wyoming’s lone U.S. House representative is demanding answers from Mark Zuckerberg on a Cheyenne-area data center 

 that caused the city’s reuse system to shut down for months.

The Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities (BOPU) issued a public notice June 26 that laboratory staff identified a bacterium, Cupriavaidus gilardii, in a wastewater sampling.

The board on July 2 identified the source of the initial contamination as Goat System LLC — a Meta ​data center company in the development known as Project Cosmo.

That public announcement about the contamination came more than four months after the Meta contractor — which is building an $800 million data center in south Cheyenne — disrupted the city’s reclaimed wastewater system with the rare bacterial contaminant.

The board had revoked Goat Systems’ industrial discharge privileges for fill-and-flush operations, and Cheyenne’s reuse water system was taken offline.

U.S. House Rep. Harriet Hageman demanded answers in a Thursday letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

“Many are rightfully concerned about high water consumption rates by data centers in our communities where every drop of water is accounted for and needed,” wrote Hageman, “so I am even more concerned that this contamination seemingly came from your facility’s closed-loop cooling system, a technology that is marketed as being a solution to high data center water consumption rates.”

Hageman added that, “Many Wyomingites are also rightfully concerned that they learned about this contamination on June 26 and that the Meta Cheyenne facility was identified as the culprit on July 2nd, when the discharge privileges for Goat Systems was revoked on March 24th.”

New industries seeking to enter small-community Wyoming life can only do so with support from local communities, wrote Hageman, “which is earned built on trust, collaboration and communication with our citizens.

“I am deeply concerned that Meta did not follow this model in this instance.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"}],"text":"She poses five questions to Zuckerberg:"}]

• How did the contamination happen, including from the closed-loop cooling system — and had that happened elsewhere?

• When did the project companies and contractors learn of the issue and what steps did they take to alert the local, state and federal authorities and mitigate the threat?

• Where is the facility taking its wastewater now, and how will that prevent threats to Wyoming communities?

[{"type":"text","text":"• Does Meta plan community outreach on this incident?"}]

[{"type":"text","text":"• Can closed-loop cooling systems scale down water consumption safely?"}]

Hageman concluded, “Wyoming deserves information and consultation from the industries which plan to call our state home.”

A Meta spokesperson in a Thursday email reiterated the company's earlier statement on the contamination. 

"Meta is supporting the efforts of our general contractor, Fortis, to resolve this issue with the City of Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities," the statement says. "When the board shared that it found a substance in the city's wastewater — not public drinking water — Fortis immediately stopped discharging industrial wastewater and began hauling it offsite. Fortis also began its own water testing with an independent environmental specialist which has found no trace of the substance."

The statement concludes, "Meta is committed to being a good neighbor in Cheyenne, including through the protection of local water resources, and will continue encouraging collaboration between Fortis and the board until this situation is resolved.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"‘Unpleasant Surprise'"}]

The delay between the contamination and making it public 

Cheyenne City Councilman Pete Laybourn told Cowboy State Daily last week that learning the contamination originated from Meta's data center was unwelcome news.

"It's a very, very unpleasant surprise," Laybourn said. "I have a lot yet to learn. It definitely complicates matters."

Laybourn said he has already expressed concerns about some of the arrangements the city has made with data center operators, adding that he expects the disclosure will prompt additional discussion.

"It's about the last thing we need right now," he said. "But it's a reality we're going to have to work through.”

"I think it's a disappointment to everyone involved," he told Cowboy State Daily.

Collins also praised the BOPU for catching the contamination and getting the city's sewage reuse system cleaned up.

A Manderson, Wyoming, man and woman have been charged after the suspicious death of an infant in a case where investigators say a camper where the child lived was filthy, overheated, had no running water and was littered with human waste, animal feces and meth.

The investigation began just after 10 a.m. Monday, when agents with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation were notified of the suspicious, unattended death of an infant.

By the time Special Agent Anthony Giles arrived at Three Rivers Hospital in Basin, the baby's mother — 22-year-old Destynie Study — had already told investigators what she said happened that morning.

A newly filed affidavit in the case available Thursday says Destynie fed and changed the infant around 1:30 a.m. before putting the baby back to sleep in a crib inside the family's camper in Manderson. 

She told investigators she woke around 9:45 a.m. and found the infant unresponsive.

She immediately grabbed the child, climbed into her father's vehicle and started driving toward Three Rivers Hospital, calling 911 along the way. 

The affidavit says the baby lived in the camper with the mother, her father Travis Study, and another child who is just over a year old.

At the hospital, investigators said dirt covered Destynie's arms, legs and clothing, and what appeared to be lice eggs or significant dandruff near her scalp. 

"An overwhelming smell of body odor, urine and feces was coming from her person and the room," Giles wrote.

Investigators also documented dirt beneath the infant's fingernails and that "the same odor was permeating from the deceased infant's body."

"The infant's diaper was completely saturated in urine," Giles wrote, along with a small amount of feces and a live, moving insect inside the diaper after it was removed. 

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"5-Gallon Bucket Of Human Waste"}]

Armed with a search warrant, DCI agents later searched the camper where the family had been living. Outside sat several black garbage bags investigators believed had recently been placed there.

When agents opened the door, they were hit with the same overwhelming odor of urine, feces and body odor they had encountered earlier at the hospital, wrote Giles. 

Investigators described the camper as being in "complete disarray,” the affidavit says.

Old and moldy food, empty food containers and trash littered nearly every corner. Clothing, wrappers and garbage were piled throughout the sleeping area, the affidavit continues. 

The bathroom emitted what investigators described as an extremely strong smell of feces.

[{"type":"text","text":"The camper itself also was stifling hot."}]

Investigators measured the interior temperature at about 95 degrees with an air conditioner that didn't work. 

There also was no running water connected to the camper, and the sewage system appeared to have been unusable for some time, the affidavit says. The shower and sinks showed signs they had not functioned for an extended period.

The affidavit says investigators also found dog feces and mouse droppings throughout the camper.

[{"type":"text","text":"Inside the bathroom sat a 5-gallon bucket nearly full of human waste."}]

The toilet also contained human waste and appeared abandoned, investigators wrote, with evidence of insect infestation.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Warning Signs "}]

The crib where Destynie told investigators the infant slept was damp and smelled strongly of urine.

Investigators found urine-soaked bedding, a soiled diaper beneath the mattress, and liquid pooled inside the crib's frame. When they lifted the crib, more foul-smelling liquid drained from its support structure, says the affidavit.

Fresh trash outside the camper allegedly discarded before law enforcement arrived contained baby food along with a comforter investigators believed was heavily soiled with urine and feces.

Court records note the conditions inside the camper had raised alarms months before the infant died.

The document outlines four separate contacts between the family, the Wyoming Department of Family Services and Manderson police dating back to early April.

On one visit, officials said they were denied entry while investigating concerns about the family's living conditions.

Another welfare check involved reports that Destynie had missed prenatal appointments during what investigators described as a high-risk pregnancy.

During another visit, a caseworker reported the family's Jeep smelled strongly of cat urine and was littered with debris.

By late May, DFS had received reports that the infant had lost 11% of its body weight and that Destynie had missed a medical appointment.

When caseworkers and officers returned to the property, investigators say they again were refused entry into the camper.

Travis told them to "get the f*** off his property and never come back," alleges the affidavit. 

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"'Normal Grandpa Stuff' "}]

Travis remained on speakerphone while investigators interviewed Destynie at the hospital.

When agents requested Destynie's cellphone to establish a timeline, he allegedly warned that if anyone with "a badge or a gun" came to his property, "it would be a bad day for that individual."

Both Travis and Destynie told investigators that Travis regularly cared for the children when Destynie left the residence. Travis reportedly described it as doing the "normal grandpa stuff."

[{"type":"text","text":"The search of the camper also turned up drugs."}]

Investigators say they recovered more than 21 grams of suspected marijuana, marijuana paraphernalia and a glass pipe containing white crystalline residue.

A swab collected from inside the pipe tested presumptively positive for meth and was submitted to the Wyoming State Crime Lab for confirmation.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Criminal Charges Filed"}]

Following the investigation, prosecutors filed criminal charges Wednesday in Big Horn County Circuit Court.

Travis Study, born in 1969, is charged with felony child endangerment alleging exposure to meth, along with misdemeanor counts of reckless endangering, child endangerment, possession of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana.

Destynie Study is charged with misdemeanor reckless endangering of a child and child endangerment. She pleaded not guilty Wednesday.

Big Horn County Attorney Marcia E. Bean filed a demand for a speedy trial the same day, and the court appointed counsel to represent Destynie. A pretrial conference is scheduled for Aug. 3.

The affidavit does not identify an official cause or manner of death for the infant, and the criminal complaint does not allege either defendant intentionally caused the child's death. The investigation is ongoing.
