Morgan Harrington Case: Separating Fact From Fiction From Facebook Part II
Disclaimer– exclusive
Charlottesville, VA– Just passing the month mark, the disappearance of Morgan Harrington from the John Paul Jones Area located on the UVA campus, leaves us with more questions than answers. Part II
The Faces of Her Facebook
Help Find Morgan Harrington was developed by a few concerned individuals interested in spreading the word about Morgan’s disappearance and boasts over 30,000 members. Not all posts are welcome.
In particular, a member by the name of Nelson Kane was recently banned for posting very detailed hypothesis scenarios that sparked a firestorm of interest in the self-appointed athlete scout. His posts were deleted at the request of Law Enforcement who admit tasking two officers with monitoring the web for such activity in Morgan’s case.
Additionally, Mr. Kane reached out to several individuals on facebook as well as the Harrington family’s findmorgan.com site in attempts to speak to the family directly and request an interview. The Harrington’s were made aware of the concern for such requests by sources close to the investigation.
He has recently changed his facebook drastically.
Mr. Kane, a member of the family owning the longtime furniture store of the same name in Charlottesville is also a UVA alumni and season ticket holder. In addition to UVA, Kane also claims to have attended Virginia Tech on many of his many social networking profiles. He also fancies himself as somewhat of a Rock band critic.
On his site, nkscouting.com which he has maintained since 2001, Kane chronicles his trips to scout mostly High School basketball and football athletes. In an effort to make his site more interesting (his words) he details the travel experience, routes, times and in some cases photos of his visits to High Schools mostly within a few hours driving distance.
Very early on in Morgan’s case, blinkoncrime.com explored the idea that perhaps the double murder of VT freshmen David Metzler and Heidi Childs on August 27th should be investigated as a possible link to Morgan’s case simply because they attend the school and Morgan and Heidi bare a remarkable resemblance to one another.
As far as very odd coincidences go, the location of Nelson Kane’s scouting foray the evening of the August 28th could not be more relevant.
Kane scouted the game at Jefferson Forest High School. The very School Heidi Childs graduated from a year earlier. Unlike most of Kane’s other journal entries of his athlete accolades, there is no mention of his travel experience to or from Forest High School so it is unclear where he left from, when he got there, or when he returned home.
This is in no way an accusation that Mr. Kane had any involvement whatsoever in such a heinous crime, of course, but given his proclivities for leaving at all hours of the day and night his keen attention to travel detail and familiarity with the area: Perhaps he saw someone or something amiss in his trip that could help investigators.
On Saturday October 17th, Kane scouts a game, listens to the UVA football game on his way home and is home in plenty of time to make the concert.
Blink how do you know he was at the concert you ask? I do not. I do know he knows alot about security at the JPJ Arena, how to navigate the different lots near Uhall, and of course that there are blue portable lavatories next to Lanigan Field.

Thx, acho.
IMO, non-GF seems like a somewhat pretentious, American-but-I-wanna-be-from-another-country types, a little sad but harmless. And very much wearing her heart on her sleeve for this guy–who doesn’t seem too interested (except maybe if/when she can get him into concerts for free?). Dude himself is quoting from an old Zen story–which might make him deep and alluring and a little edgy to the ladies, especially younger, earnest ones.
BIG if: If he has her and isn’t psychotic, MH may still be alive. Sadly, psychotic breaks generally occur between ages 18-30. He’s already there.
I wonder if Dr. H. ever had a home office where he saw patients privately?
1187 your funny! ok I took a gander at the DW myspace and if I understand correctly,he is contracted security.
was he associated with MH in some way before the concert?It’s early here so I will again re read previous posts.
Don’t post:
Oh sorry Blink…saw that my second one got up there. Please cut and paste where necessary to the first one, then…
They are up

Yes b, I don’t believe XBF/BG would have just “dumped” Morgan anywhere. She belonged to him, in his mind, so he was taking her home, or somewhere that is close to his psyche. Hunting cabin would work. Favorite place in the mountains. Somewhere he could still visit her, dead or alive.
Geeze. Do I watch too much TV? Read too much? I sound like a psycho.
I actually think he would never put her near him. The opposite.
Near the parents as an eff you I wasn’t good enough for her as long as he is not closeby.
In a wooded area he is familiar with for hunting that he has been to but not his. Or someplace with limited access. He is not afraid of her being found because he did everything right.
This was over for him as soon as it was “over”. This was her fault, she caused it, and he will be incovenienced by it no longer. Morgan Who? Yeah, I dated her months ago but I had to dump her because of the stuff she was into. Not for me.
Mark my words.

1197 NYMom….Great question! My dear friend has his practice in a detached converted garage at his home.I have always wondered if that ever became a problem from time to time.
Well, I can see after reading the comments this morning that the perp knows you’re on to him. Great work, Blink. If this site and it’s readers were hot on my trail, I would be rattled to say the least.
Here’s what I don’t understand about this scenario. It appears that ‘everyone’ knew who most likely had taken Morgan away from the arena that night. (family, friends, etc..)
Did LE tell the Harrington’s that this person had a solid alibi and was no way a suspect while all along they (LE) knew he was ground zero?
OR did the Harrington’s know he was ‘it’ and played along with the charade in the hopes of lulling him into a comfortable place so that he will eventually make the mistake that leads them to Morgan. Did LE encourage them to play along so that he believes they are buying his story while all along his every move is being surveilled?
If my daughter was missing and I knew who LE thought it was, hell if I would waste time playing charades with the guy. I would take that 50,000 that Metallica gave me and hire an old fashioned posse.
Wow, ok Blink I buy it. (re comments to post #1202) So then she’d be closer to Mill Mountain (hesitate to agree with one of the psychics from the Hook blog, or fb, findmorgan.com…wherever I read this). Blue Ridge Parkway is accessed from several places near Roanoke, and as Dakota and George noted earlier, there are several private/access roads to and from, all along the drive. There are also many other mountainous/forested areas that are not National Park in Virginia. Could be very tough to find her.
Are his parents affluent?
In general, against normal standards the friend pool is with some exceptions, I can’t say as to unsub.

In my 20′s, at the beginning of my career, I was pretty naive, to say the least. When people testified — under oath — I believed ‘em — until over and over and over there would be proof they were lying — by my 30′s, my BS meter was firmly established — and entering the 20th year of my career, I absolutely knew when a story was sound, or “wait for it…”
that’s what I found so frustrating in Morgan’s story — it didn’t make any sense — not from the little bit given by the friends, and especially from LE — and then — no disrespect in my next comment — the Harringtons themselves — their actions made absolutely no sense to me at all — their child is vanished, their words on national TV are guarded and Gil “blogs” for pity sakes — if it were my kid, my feet would be bloody from looking every day for my child — I’d have spent all of Metallica’s money and all of mine in setting up tip lines, hiring PIs, being proactive in looking for her — not sitting at home blogging — again, no disrespect; it just didn’t make sense —
until …
I read Blink’s theory — and it all makes sense, and I believe Blink is — I was going to say “dead on” but I’ll change it to spot on —
The Harringtons, LE know what happened to Morgan — maybe not the minute details, but they know what — and who —
First, I don’t think the security guard at JPJ — David W — is a part of this — if I had been working security at the door and turned her away that night — per protocol — I’d feel plenty bad about it myself — and there is some comment somewhere she was seen arguing w/ a female security, who also turned her away — and this jives w/ her informing the friends inside that she’s tried several entrances and can’t get back in — his timing may be off due to events happening, not necessarily looking at his watch — what I mean by that, they have a timeline as to when things should happen — only as example: Metallica takes stage at 9 PM and leaves at 11 PM — Metallica was later than 9 PM getting on stage — I know that from my conversation with my child between 9:05 and 9:10 and they were not on stage at that time — by 9:30 the concert had started — however, if the girl posting w/ DW is not his GF and she is disabled — she just wants someone to care for her, which explains her “love love love” posts —
LE is not looking at the friends’ actions, because while the friends’ actions in retrospect are outrageous, we don’t know the conversation that went on between them and Morgan — Morgan may have said: I’m getting a ride back w/ X –
And hell yeah, the ex BF knew she’d be at that concert — probably half of VT knew they were going — a college campus is a very small world — he could have anonymously gotten a ticket from anywhere — gone to a ticketmaster location and bought one — but didn’t tell anyone he had it — someone who premeditates actions can wait a very long time for their moment of opportunity —
True story — I worked on a case where a husband, who was a professor part time, began a relationship w/ one of his students — forgot to tell her, he was married — a year before his dirty deed he began buying life insurance on his AMEX card, forgot to tell his wife about that, too — on NY’s Day they take a day trip down to Norfolk, have a nice dinner, he comes back and murders the wife, then throws her body into the Ware River, calls 9-1-1 in a panic saying she went to dump the fireplace ashes in the river and hasn’t come back — they find her floating in the river, except the weird thing is, on autopsy there’s no water in her lungs — anyway, he sues AMEX in a civil suit for the million dollars in life insurance — double pay on a holiday — he is now in prison — but he plotted for over a year —
of course, Blink’s theory is just that — a theory, an allegation — don’t need any lawsuits that Blink is stating this absolutely happened, but this “allegation” holds water — big time — and explains a lot — the Silence of the Friends, the non-action of the Harringtons — LE not releasing any info – Morgan going from having fun during the LOG performance, to possibly falling, being beligerant, crying in the bathroom — if he showed up unannounced and started hassling her during the break, she’s frustrated he’s there, he may have offered her a sip of a soda laced w/ something, then tells her: let’s go outside, get some air, talk things thru — the odd phone call, I’ll find my own ride home, the friends not too worried about it, she’s w/ X, her actions outside, LE saying in the beginning: we don’t believe there’s been foul play – the request for the public search — the public may have been searching for one thing, but LE wants them searching for something else, indeed —
There’s an expression in the legal field — let’s give ‘em enough rope — to hang themselves —
Blink’s comment: the time for an alleged accident is running out —
All of this now makes perfect sense to me —
Blink, hand me a life jacket and scootch over a bit, please, sweetie, because I am right there on board with you —
And if the person who took Morgan is reading this — turn yourself in while that still plays in your favor — because when they catch you — and they will — the time for mercy will have passed.
This may be way off base but I too was wondering if DH had a private practice (doesn’t even have to be a “private” practice) possibly treated someone who was less then happy with the treatment and decided “I’ll show you”. I am sure he has pictures of family in his office. Could be DH treated exBF at one time…..XBF (or patient) made Morgan his “project” to get back at DH…just a thought. I would think LE has looked into that already though, at least I hope so.
I’m sure LE is all over this, but I use the Appalachian Trail maps that are put out by the PATC (Potomac Appalachian Trail Club)…GPS compatible. The Southernmost map I’ve got is Map 13, which goes from the Tye River to the James River. A quick glance at these maps and you can see that there is substantial wilderness between here and Roanoke. There are jeep trails, horse only trails, AT only for hiking/running…rivers, 2-lane roads crossing through (e.g. Rt.s 56 and 60).
I have to think on this a bit.
Morgan’s weight, personally I have looked at many of the pictures as well.
I am not sure that I can buy into the the whole drug addiction story.
Yes she appears to have weight variations but I remember when my daughters went off to college.
They both gained about twenty pounds their first year in school. My younger daughter who was always concerned about her appearance complained about it quite abit. I think that is why I remember it so well, but she also stated that weight gain for new college students was fairly common.
Morgan was thin in high school and maybe by her junior year was able to get back into her normal eating patterns and loose the weight.
As far as black circles under the eyes, I have seen many a college students with black circles under their eyes especially during finals week.
I obviously do not know young Morgan, but addict; I don’t think so.
Recreational pot and alcohol like with most college students probably.
quote by Blink in post #1203: :I actually think he would never put her near him. The opposite. Near the parents as an eff you I wasn’t good enough for her as long as he is not closeby. In a wooded area he is familiar with for hunting that he has been to but not his. Or someplace with limited access. He is not afraid of her being found because he did everything right.

Yeah, I dated her months ago but I had to dump her because of the stuff she was into. Not for me. Mark my words.”
Blink, I found your last two sentences very interesting. Are you suggesting the XBF has been creating a scenario (drugs, etc.) possibly online and with friends to paint Morgan as someone she isn’t? Also, do you know for sure an XBF is a hunter?
Thanks.
I believe he lurks online, but posts nothing, or he did at first, and when he came under suspicion he stopped; he was comfortable enough time had elapsed. I think he thinks he is homefree because he would be too obvious and he has what he considers an airtight alibis, all my opinion as well as the Hunter part.

There must have been a full moon last night……..many new posts and the theories shaping up nicely. ALL good. Great information all.
JK2………funny funny.
Sue- I know, can’t go over to that site anymore either! Can’t read another vision from Victoria or Frank.
Sue: WE are the old fashioned posse. It wasn’t until I spent some time here last evening going over things that I realized Blink and her readers are Chasing. Him. Down.
There is a comment by DW on his friend Sarah’s page that says “He feels more like a man now” Has anyone seen that? I found it strange.

“If my daughter was missing and I knew who LE thought it was, hell if I would waste time playing charades with the guy. I would take that 50,000 that Metallica gave me and hire an old fashioned posse.”
[high five]
After reading Blink’s comment about the FB post, I wanted to read it, so did a google search and ended up on a link for I guess general discussion — I am not FB savvy, to say the least — but this was posted 9 hrs. ago and *may* be Morgan — warning, BEFORE clicking on the link, you may want to mute your computer — but, look in the lower left side of the video — you may have to watch it a couple of times — I did, hence, mute the computer — to orient yourself, look for the BIG body guard move over to the left into the crowd about three or four people — there is a girl there — you don’t see her face, but her profile, and they can adjust these images w/ super computers at Quantico — the girl is wearing a black short sleeved tee shirt — she has long, straight hair — at the end of the song, she puts her arms up in the air — my son said he had to show his ticket to get on the floor, but pretty girls can get thru security — this may not be Morgan, but if it is, then that establishes she was inside at some point —
The noose is tightening — if you took Morgan, turn yourself in — now –
Again, Blink, thanks for this awesome site — I firmly believe that a collective mindset to FIND MORGAN does affect the outcome —
oh, sorry — almost forgot to post the link — this is from FB — mute your computers, final warning — ha — but for me it was after the 1:06 mark that I could focus in on her —
>>Lamb of God Video. Wait til the person zooms in. Check on bottom left of screen like four people in front of the middle bodyguard whos standing by some black travelling cases. Theres a blond girl with long wavy hair and black short sleeved shirt. Can be seen clearly near the 1:06 mark. SHes standing by a guy with what looks like a grayish baseball cap. They r right on top of the red lit crowd in the white lit crowd area. Shes also 2nd from the bottom left edge of frame a bit later right on top of a guy jumping up and down.

Its not Dee cause the girls hair is really long. <<
Skyler, at 33, 34, seconds it appears she turns profile. I do believe this is Morgan as it pans right, and I could see Dee S. She cant be at 2 places at once. There is also another long haired blonde nearby, prob AMY.

Blink,
I am very confused. I am completely understanding the ex scenario. But I have a few questions. Was there ever a restraining order? I understand the cat and mouse game LE and the parents may be playing with this guy, but I don’t understand what they are waiting for. The last few days, this board and several others, have been wildly speculating as to Morgan’s character. (myself included, yesterday I was convinced she was a drug addict, I am almost shamed-not totally convinced of ex yet) If there really is an ex, you know he is getting off on her name being maligned. Sorry to be so crude, but no other way to put it.
Every person who has even commented on this case has had their name and motives questioned. The guy who talked to her on the way in, the 44 yr old, Nelson Kane, bb players, girlfriends etc. Why are we putting these people through hell, if there has been a true suspect all along. With all due respect, if I was one of these people, when all was said and done, I might try to sue. It seems unfair that we talk and speculate about witnesses but it is hush hush about this guy.
If there was a restraining order wouldn’t that be public record? And if this ex is capable of murder and the parents were so frightened that she moved home this summer, there has got to be one.
I am very concerned about Morgan. Not only if she is living, but her memory if she is not. Someone better make a move soon, because once all these allegations about someone are out there, they never go away. It would be a shame for everyone to question her character and some evil person could use these rumors as some kind of symathetic defense.
Carson-
First of all, I don’t see where Morgan’s character has been maligned. I would not allow that. We are discussing our opinions, speculations as well as known verifiable facts in this case. All in an effort to progress leads to find this girl, who assuredly deserves that.
As far as putting people through Hell, I have no idea who you are referring to, I do not have a site for rumor mongering, although I am aware of one where one can say they are anyone and say anything about anyone, that is not blinkoncrime.com.
As far as an existing restraining order, there is none containing Morgan’s name in VA.
I would not be so quick to assume there was one, or that her family felt this guy was a threat in that regard, I just think it possible they thought he was a bad influence and beneath her. I don’t think Morgan had a clue this guy took her rejection the way he did, if that is the case.

“This was over for him as soon as it was “over”. This was her fault, she caused it, and he will be incovenienced by it no longer. Morgan Who? Yeah, I dated her months ago but I had to dump her because of the stuff she was into. Not for me.

So true. Turning the tables when confronted. Part of the behavior.
NYMom, I think you and I are thinking along same lines. I have also wondered whether GH ever works for DH. Regardless, exBF really might resent these parents, as Blink mentions at 1203.
Sue@1206, I am with you re: your last paragraph. That nags at me too. But I think Blink makes a good point when she refs the different perspective that coming from the healthcare (esp psychology) field might give. I think GH and DH believe they understand this person, or at least thought they did (I still believe passing the one-month and Thanksgiving marks without resolution has been incredibly challenging to them).
Has it occurred to anyone that possibly the exBF was under impression, true or not, that MH was forced to break with him and was devastated over it? And that he blames GH and DH? Perhaps he thought he was rescuing her at the concert and could run away with her, help her escape what he views as her oppressive life now? MH would have had other ideas, clearly. Maybe she still had feelings and could have been lured to make “a” plan, or maybe it was promise of going backstage (but I still am not convinced she was a real Metallica fan)–but when she realized the real intentions of exBF, she tried to flee. Could be a crazy idea but it makes as much sense to me as anything else I’ve pondered.
sorry about the multiple posts, but … on another FB page, someone spent hours pulling together all the video links posted on youtube from the Metallica concert — after the news reports about Morgan’s disappearance, my son and I discussed it, and he said to me: I think I saw her during Lamb of God — and I brushed it off, thinking in 14,000 people … but I clicked on some of the other Metallica videos to see if I could see my child — and that is exactly where his tickets were and where he said he was standing — on the right side of the stage — I’ll have to show him this today and see if that’s the right “right” side — and not the other side, but maybe he did see her, and maybe this is Morgan in that video — not Dee — which puts her inside the concert hall —
Admittedly, I was beginning to despair that Morgan would ever be found — but not anymore — I think it will end soon –
Last one, I swear — I agree with you, Sue, I’d have hired me a possee, too !
RE: radiogirl #1200
I believe DW-or whatever his real name is- also attended Bonnaroo, as did Morgan. I believe he was working security.
That’s correct.
B
Also, and sorry for another post, GH has made reference to her own background. Sounds like she did not come from means or a lot of nurturing and does not strike me as a snobbish mom who considers people “beneath” herself. I keep hearing all this talk about the Harringtons being wealthy and connected, and I think they–esp GH–are a little more salt of the earth than they are being portrayed. I think whatever concerns they might’ve had about an ex truly were about Morgan’s well being (whether due to their own knowledge about the person or to their concerns about drugs/alcohol), not about shame. Just FWIW.
I am not characterizing the Harrington’s, I have commended them to their face and in any post concerning them. Please don’t feel defensive, maybe poor choice of words but I am building the profile from the unsub perspective, not theirs.

If you read “The Gift of Fear”by Gavin de Becker. It will go into today’s concerns of the protective order and the trigger it often flips within a person who has control and abuse issues.Her parents may have been aware of this and were doing their best to handle it another way.
During OJ trail we were to have Dominick Dunne speak at a victims luncheon but he was covering OJ and Gavin De Becker filled in.Extremely interesting guest.Your odds of meeting up with extreme violence or worse go up when filing a protective order.Get the book its a must.Most people in the US lose their lives to someone they know.
For those of you who hear me espouse from Mr. Becker’s teachings adnauseum, and those that do not, buy this book today. Read it over the weekend. Report back that you bought it for someone that needed it more than you. Pay it Forward.

I realize that this question is off the current topic, but I didn’t start reading about this case until after the ground searches were over, and despite back-reading have trouble finding some things.
My question comes partly from an experience this fall in the lot where I’ve parked for over 20 years, and which is at least partially my motivation for being interested in this case. How exhaustively were the manholes and steam tunnels on the UVa campus searched? Thanks.
1217 thank you for the info.Dots becoming clear.
So maybe this guy (like DW if not DW) is more of a “trustafarian” (trust fund rosta), poor little rich kids driving a jaguar? Not vs the Harringtons for being “wealthy and connected” (which is all relative, anyway), but for being the oppressors of Morgan. His Morgan. Does anyone remember Jens Soering?
I couldn’t read much into DW’s myspace page, but is he educated, and employed other than as a part time security guy? It’s expensive to live here in Charlottesville.
I somehow still think that the XBF is more connected to Blacksburg and/or Roanoke than he is to Charlottesville, except for maybe as a part time security guy at concerts.
I agree this guy is Blacksburg/Roanoke.
B
EVERYONE – PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ. Something has to give with this. Time is critical and too much time is passing. With the passing of time also comes the risk of loosing evidence. There are enough of us here who care enough and want to help enough to do what we can. So, what can we do? How can we help? IF alive, I don’t believe that there will be a valid sighting because I would assume that she is being kept hidden. If, and let us pray not, that she is not alive, then the remains could be absoltely anywhere. So…..what resources are available to us, the public? How can we help? Do we have any resources available to us to help us research anything (i.e. ex boyfriends, any domestic disputes that did not result in a restraining order, anything reported to the her school regarding someone harrassing her, etc). WHAT CAN WE DO????? Is there any one on this board with the means to do more research than the average Joe? I just feel like we, as a people, can not just sit idle while this beatiful young woman, so full of life, is out there somewhere and needs help.
I don’t suppose it would be public record who worked security that night, either, would it?
Judi, that was the point that I was trying to make before. Her parents and LE are the only people who know the ‘who’ and can find her.
Again, if she was my child, I would have shown up at this ex’s door with 5 large armed men a long time ago! 50,000 goes a long way in this regard.
(Absolutely no judgment of the Harringtons implied here. I am not in their shoes, obviously. I do feel very strongly,however, that we need to protect those around us. Especially our women and children, and I know with absolute certainty that I would not wait.)
Losing evidence is not too much of a worry, as most cases are built and successfully prosecuted on circumstantial evidence. Assuming LE has had him under constant surveillance, ( I hope) they have also been gathering evidence for a successful prosecution.
For example,he may have done things to point LE in the wrong direction, lied to LE, confided in someone, etc…
Happy note: Blessedly brief (by my verbose standards) post to follow.
I have taken some time to give great consideration to how I will word this post. This is in an effort to be as clear as possible and avoid further misunderstanding.
My intent since my earliest post has been to:
* offer insight and perspective based upon first-hand experience in both LE/investigations and legal prosecution; and
* offer new ways for readers to think about the MH case.
My intent has not been to:
* be condescending or dismissive of the thoughts or suggestions of other readers; or
* minimize the importance of the public’s assistance in resolution of the MH case.
If any of my earlier posts (or any portions thereof) caused misunderstanding, I offer now my humblest apologies to the readers.
Respectfully submitted,
Observer
Observer, your a welcome asset to this thread and MH case. I have always been clear on your intent, as I hope most have. As you and I have discussed (off BOC) I think the problem lies with LE not having a firm grasp on how best to utilize the media and the magnitude of resources and knowledge some members of sites like these can offer given verified, accurate information.
This is all over the page, and I am not pointing a finger, it just is. As you have read here, the concern is this case stalling, and Morgan and her bereaved family’s agony prolonged. I absolutely believe a case update, whereby LE refutes or verifies outstanding questions/misinfo in an effort to address the public’s assistance efforts and hopefully procure leads, is in order.
B
First time poster. sorry this will be all over the place.
Going back to the C/M murders. I was born and raised in the Blacksburg area, and still reside there. From what I have heard the murders were at random, wrong place at the wrong time. I do not think these have anything to do with MH.
Part of me still thinks she ran away. With her choice of outfit that night, the necklace LE said she was wearing does not particularly match styles. It seems to me that she wore it knowing the meaning (from her parents) that she would end up somewhere else.
You have said that LE is making MH’s friends not tell the whole truth. Do you believe this is needed? Are they getting a bad rep from this?
As a female, only 2 years older than Morgan…none of her actions make sense. My friends and I went to 2 concerts this summer. None of us ever went to the bathroom, to get a drink or anything alone.
You say that LE has a POI. I do not understand why we are not being updating on these vital points of info.
As for the we weight issue, I feel as if everyone is reading into it more than needed. For a normal college girl, her weigh will fluctuate with what’s going on in her life. (those situations are more concerning to me)
For her phone battery, maybe she took it out to reset it? I usually take mine out AT LEAST once a week as i feel it makes go faster.
I think cvillenative has a spot on point with Gil Harrington saying something about a skeleton. MH and her family were obviously close and had some sort of family ‘dialogue or language’, as we see in 2-4-1.
Re your comment on 1223: Sorry Blink, I know that felt like a finger pointed at you, but I have read (probably more in The Hook’s comments than here) descriptions of the Harringtons as such–mostly out of the flawed frustration that “even with their $$ and connex” they aren’t able to get more out of LE. Given current context and NYMom’s and my (maybe others’) ponderings this a.m., I thought now was a time to describe how I see them … in particular my view that Gil is a “helper”/nurterer who aligns herself more with those in need than with those who look down from on high. (A wonderful and at times, sadly, dangerous trait that it sounds as if Morgan possesses, too.)
No need to post this comment in the flood of them. Just wanted to apologize to you for putting you on defensive, which wasn’t my intention. I think you’re outstanding and I so hope your sharing of more concrete hypotheses means they/you are closing in.
Not at all, and understood. I agree with your thoughts. I did not and have not found the Harrington’s to be elitist in any capacity. My heart hurts for them terribly.

An x- makes sense. This makes my mind go back over the whole Battery scenario- why doesn’t LE and the Harrington’s find it missing relevant? Maybe they do, and it is a link back to someone/the song and obsession/control so they are keeping mum about its importance?
Blink, you think the Harringtons may know who took Morgan.
Dan Harrington has stated at least once during an interview that he believes the abductor is some one from the Charlottesville area. Does this change your theory on the x if you have a specific person in mind?
Honestly, I think that occurred before they got “where they are” (LE).
That said, I could be wrong on my theory.

Blink – I’m not sure if anyone will do this or not, but could someone please put up one of the friends facebook accounts so that I’m able to read what everyone else seems to be reading for the information being given out by this unsub. I don’t care if it’s not that persons FB but any of the friends facebooks. I am old and don’t really understand this FB stuff as I don’t have one. Thank you ahead of time.
I’m way over here in the corner still trying to think of why LE asked if Morgan tried to borrow a phone from anyone. Did they think it was in order to call her own phone to locate her dropped purse? (that is, IF she didn’t take the battery out or know that it was out, and of course if she dropped her purse)
And let me add, nor do I understand facebook, I know that they have one out for Morgan and I have seen that one.
Is there a delay between posting and having it go live? Need to know b/c I want to email you an observation from a local level.
Yes, I moderate.

I don’t think this should be posted, but your call:
I drive from CVille past Waynesboro every morning. Today there were an incredible number of police and unmarked cars up and down the highway. (7-8, and observed by many in my office) More than your usual state trooper or two, and it’s not the end of the month. Might they be looking for someone who has a ‘traffic violation’ and bring him in?
Which Route and What Time please, ok to post. Were they all patrolling or parked?

To the one who has Morgan:
Evil shoots popes and presidents and snatches young girls. And those criminals are remembered with scorn… but there are heroes and courage: Be this. I know you want to do the right thing. Things have gotten out of hand. Be remembered as the one who saved Morgan Harrington. Let her go- TODAY.
Family holidays are coming we need her here. Please, please let her go.
I-64 is crawling , but I belive this could explain the reason .
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Drivers on Interstates 64 and 66 should watch their speed over the next two days.
Virginia State Police will resume the agency’s Operation Air, Land and Speed on those interstates on Friday and Saturday.
The last time the traffic safety initiative concentrated on I-64 and I-66 was this time last year, when more than 1,700 speeders and 250 reckless drivers were cited and 220 safety belt violations were issued.
Virginia State Police receive federal funding for the program. There have been five installments this year, and 21 since the program’s inception in 2006.
State Police Superintendent Col. W. Steven Flaherty says it’s important for every motorist to buckle up and be careful, especially during the holiday season.

So as I continue to turn this over there is still one aspect that doesn’t make sense for me. If this scenario the majority of us are now leaning toward did occur then that means that Morgan is likely no longer alive. If that is the case why have the search efforts ceased?
I travel west from CVille past all Waynesboro exits toward 81. Parked, unmarked, and marked. Lots of stopping people.
Time was 8:15 in that area.
B: “This was over for him as soon as it was “over”. ”
This has worried me; if BG has no guilt, no conscience, then he won’t show behavior changes – his conscience is clear; he did what he had to do in his mind.
After pondering over your scenario, it became clear to me that GH & DH are doing what they can to appease this person, to keep him from getting angry, because they want to know where Morgan is. The cryptic messages, the holding back of information, it’s to keep from putting out in public anything that might shame or offend this guy.
Question: Do you think BG wants Morgan to be found?
Re: The Gift of Fear. I read it several years ago, I gave it to a family member when she started college, and I’ve recommended it to my friends. My daughter will be reading it with me soon.
I think he is ambivalent. Which may actually be a sign to look for..
ie:
“I dated that crazy chic long enough to know she had bad recreational habits and her parents treated her like Rapunzel, thus the hair, if she needed it at some point>
No doubt she ran off, thus the drama I left behind, gladly. Now, since I did, can we do the same?
Has a current GF so he thinks nobody saw him pining.

Hi, london, welcome aboard! I sometimes think (and very often hope) she ran away, but then why leave the purse and phone? Resetting the phone by taking out the battery makes sense (I do it from time to time with my squirrely treo) but you put it right back in again, correct? Where is that battery now, we all wonder…
I, too, thought that morbid skeleton comment could have been code for “are you still anorexic and wasting away with this nogoodnik who called you fat?” instead of “are you dead and gone?”—which, as Blink points out, a medical family might be matter of fact enough to ask so bluntly.
