Court Documents Reveal What Investigators Say Happened to Jon “Jake” Morgan and Who Did it

WAUPACA COUNTY, Wis. — Newly filed court documents are providing the first detailed look at what investigators allege happened in the disappearance of Jon “Jake” Morgan.

A criminal complaint filed February 26, 2026 in Waupaca County Circuit Court charges Desiree Rose Osman with multiple felonies related to events that allegedly occurred March 6, 2020 in the Town of Farmington

Charges Filed

The complaint lists the following charges:

• First Degree Reckless Homicide – Deliver Drugs (Class C Felony)

• Hiding a Corpse as Party to a Crime (Class F Felony)

• Manufacture or Deliver Heroin (Less Than 3 Grams) (Class F Felony)

• Two counts of Felony Bail Jumping (Class H Felonies)

The most serious charge, First Degree Reckless Homicide, alleges that on or about March 6, 2020, Osman caused Morgan’s death through the delivery or manufacture of a Schedule I or II controlled substance, specifically fentanyl. If convicted, that charge carries a potential sentence of up to 40 years in prison.

Timeline Alleged in Complaint

According to the complaint, Morgan was last seen between the evening of March 5 and the morning of March 6, 2020, at a residence in the King area of the Town of Farmington.

Investigators state Morgan never returned to work, never picked up his paycheck, and never contacted family, friends, or coworkers after approximately 4:13 a.m. on March 6, 2020. His phone stopped transmitting data that morning and has never been located.

The complaint alleges:

• Osman admitted she and Morgan used heroin together in the early morning hours of March 6, 2020

• Osman admitted she was the last person to see Morgan alive

• Internet search history from her phone shows searches related to overdose and drugs shortly after 8 a.m. that morning

• She contacted Walgreens and someone known to possess Narcan that morning

Investigators state Morgan’s body has not been located despite extensive searches. A cadaver dog reportedly alerted to the scent of human remains in a vehicle connected to the investigation.

Statements and Investigation

The complaint notes Osman was interviewed at least five times during the investigation. Investigators state her accounts changed over time.

Authorities allege video surveillance shows a vehicle traveling on area roads during a time frame when Osman’s phone was turned off. Investigators believe Morgan’s body was moved from the residence.

Court documents also indicate Osman was on bond in other criminal cases at the time of Morgan’s disappearance, leading to the felony bail jumping charges.

Presumption of Innocence

It is important to note that a criminal complaint contains allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Morgan’s body has not been recovered.

This case remains active in Waupaca County Circuit Court. We will continue to monitor court proceedings and provide updates as more information becomes available.
