Murder Victim. Born to a father she never knew who was an Air Force veteran, and divorced her mother, Constance Laney, shortly after Vicki was born in Colorado Springs. Constance remarried and gave birth to a son, but her second husband died when Vicki was 9. Eventually mother and children settled in the L.A. suburb of Montclair, where Constance worked in the cafeteria of the school that Vicki later attended. Pregnant at 16, she dropped out of Chaffee High School and gave birth to Todd out of wedlock. Her first husband was clothing wholesaler Earle Lamm, then 47, whom she wed in Las Vegas in 1970. She met Bloomingdale soon afterward. In a sworn deposition given for her 1982 lawsuit, Vicki said that when he asked her to be his mistress, she replied, "Okay, but I'm married." Bloomingdale, who knew what he wanted, told her to find out how much money it would take to persuade Lamm to divorce her. Vicki wed and shed two more men John David Carson, an actor, and Robert H. Schulman, a wealthy real estate developer. For six months in 1974 she found room for financier Bernard Cornfeld, a legendary womanizer and a friend of Bloomingdale's. Betsy Bloomingdale learned of Alfred's affair and threatened that she would leave him and expose his sadistic sexual behavior if he didn't break off his relationship with Vicki Morgan. He did. Vicki spiraled into depression with no financial support from Alfred whom she had grown to live and rely on. She ended up in rehab where she met Marvin Pancoast, a gay man who was infatuated with Vicki and her stories of the high life she lead with Alfred Bloomingdale. They vowed to live together once released from rehab. A week shy of her 3 month stint in rehab, Alfred came to visit Vicki and proposed to rescue her once again. They rekindled their odd relationship and saw each other for 6 months. Alfred came to Vicki and told her he was dying of terminal cancer and had only 2 months to live. He assured Vicki she would be well cared for and never have to worry about money again. He was dead 2 days later and before he could give Vicki what he promised, she was once again down and out. Desperate she got in contact with her friend from rehab, Marvin Pancoast. They moved into an apartment together and he worshipped her. She reconnected with the prostitute lifestyle she once lead and he worked odd jobs to support each other. Although nothing physical or sexual was involved in their relationship, Marvin became extremely jealous of her relationships with other men. He was distraught, unstable and addicted to cocaine. That evening, Pancoast walked into a police station and confessed to murdering Morgan. Investigators found Morgan dead, apparently beaten to death with a baseball bat. Pancoast was sentenced to 26 years to life and died in 1991 in Chino, California, while undergoing treatment for AIDS-related illness. Vicki would have 2 books written about her, the first in 1985 author Gordon Basichis wrote Beautiful Bad Girl: The Vicki Morgan Story. In 1990, Dominick Dunne, the prominent Vanity Fair journalist, author of several books about crimes involving the rich and famous came out with a fictional portrayal of Vicki Morgan in his book, An Inconvenient Woman. She was 30 years old at the time of her death.
