Funny post, Kriddo!
>>Comment by BlackPearl — December 23, 2009 @ 4:47 pm
Shawan Halmat (Facebook with Morgan photo) belongs to 6 pages on Facebook… one of them is Electric Chameleon the band… who was supposedly having their video shot on the night of Oct. 17th.
___________________________________________
A lot of people that know Morgan have put a picture of her on their profiles. Some put the Missing Flyer, but many who know her have put others. This may explain it.
Does anyone know the last name of Jeni from the music video/OR nurse?

2nd Examiner article out.
“We went outside and with the huge crowd of people going outside then we got into our friend’s car and went back to JMU and went to sleep because we were all exhausted. That’s it. I hope that can clear up anybody’s questions.””
Well if what DS said here is true and I believe it is, they were not seen at the Econolodge.
Hello Blink, Would you mind answering the following, *Please*?
1) Did Dan, the driver, attend (go inside the arena) the concert?
2) If yes, did he stay for all three bands?
Yes, and to the best of my knowledge.
B
Kriddo,
Who uploaded the photos is not in question I do not think these girls are sluts and I do not believe they are clueless or naive as you put it.. Does it make it better because these pics were not intended for strangers to see? No, . I am sure these young woman have been told the dangers of posting pics on the internet, they were not secretly photographed they posed for these photos.
We don’t know what happened to Morgan.
We don’t know if she vanished because of alcohol
We don’t know if she vanished because of drugs
We don’t know if she vanished because she chose to
We don’t know if she vanished because of friend/acquaintance
We don’t know if she vanished because of a stalker
We don’t know if she vanished because of a crazed lunatic who is targeting college girls and their friends
We don’t know and neither do her friends.
What we do know-
Morgan paid for the concert tickets
Morgan’s car was used to get to the concert.
Morgan got locked out
Morgan called her friends
Morgan’s friends decided to stay inside watching concert
Morgan’s friends couldn’t find Morgan after the concert
Morgan’s friends waited around “for awhile”
Morgan’s friends drove themselves to the comfort warmth and security of a bed.
Morgan’s did not call security
Morgan’s did not alert her Dad
Morgan’s friends didn’t alert their own fathers considering Dan’s father is in LE.
Morgan’s friends did not check up on Morgan the next day,
Morgan’s friends did not tell the truth when first asked about the car and who drove.
See link
http://roanoke.com/news/nrv/wb/223121
For all these reasons and more, at the very least they should be hanging their heads in regret instead of celebrating Halloween as Morgan’s mother is contemplating whether or not her beloved daughter is a skeleton yet,or not.
Kriddo – hilarious!
I laughed out loud.
I totally agree – in fact, I was about to post that I have pictures of myself from college lying back on a chair getting two bottles of tequila poured in to my mouth on either side by two guys in speedos. I was in a sorority and we had “Around the World”. The room I was in was Mexico LOL. Anyway, my mom saw them, said it bothered her because I looked scared, as if I was being “forced” to drink. (Mothers!). I assured her that no, I very willingly drank it, and that I was responsible. I know she didnt like it, but I think she also knew she couldnt control it either – I was a flight away to go to college. We also took tons of pics on our disposable kodak cameras and waited for them to be developed. Thats really the only difference. The pics are pretty much exactly the same as Morgan’s crowd, sorry to say.
As for her friends partying two weeks later – we can only assume they dont care or arent sad, and we do not know this for a fact. So this option that they are in on something or there is a conspiracy can be dismissed. As Kriddo said, those girls didnt take those pictures or post them. Whoever did is a complete idiot, though.
Beyond that, I am VERY skeptical Blink’s 2 editors theory that she did not make it to the concert and they literally had Dee S. plan out and play the lead character of Morgan Harrington. That would require several people being in cahoots right? The D-named guy whose “party” parked their car next to Morgans, all three people in the car who drove there, and Dee S., if not others. I cant see so many people, this young in age, who get inebriated so frequently, keeping a secret like this without breaking.
Unless thats what happening right now, as Blink allows us to continue to put the pressure on these kids. (To at least say SOMETHING, if not the above, then at least what they know).
Ok, but for the sake of open forum discussion, lets say that she did not make it to the concert, and in fact stayed behind at JMU. We assume something very bad happened (and took place at JMU and not on the way to the concert on a road or in a car). If this was the case, and Im sorry to be graphic, where would it take place and where would you leave the evidence?
I have looked at SS’s costume pic several times and my first, second, and third impression that she was supposed to be Madonna from the 80′s Like a Virgin time. I had a friend wear a very similar costume this year and that was what she was going for. I do not see what others are saying about the pale face. I also immediately thought Brandy Chastain for the AH pic as well. I thought that Amy Melvin and Morgan lived in an apt together at VT. If so, is that their apt that they are partying at in the pics?
sandyeggo, BlackPearl, and Blink,
Shwan Halmat is a real person and a friend of Morgan’s. He went to HS with us; that profile is legit.
So, if the girls are so completely innocent of any wrong doing other than underage “greiving”, why does one of them have an attorney?
RNmom..I thought that Dan and one or two of the BB players had an attorney.
So, are there more members of the ‘party’ lawyered up?
So, is Dan the person that “lawyered up”? Also, is that him in the pic with Morgan at Electric Chameleon’s launch party?

not Dan
Not sure now if B was answering my first or second question or both.
I am not going to comment on who has counsel for obvious reasons, I know you will understand.
B
Mom and Suzeeb…I just happened to see awa’s post and blink say ‘bring it over’ so I waited a bit and NOW i see what awa was up to! Good golly! thanks, awa.
Sorry to miss a quotie on the opening line.
RNmom, you might have diagnosed that better than you think: ‘underage grieving’–Word.
That’s because I’m a parent and much older. I do have children this age (20 and 26). I’ve done the college, grad school and the elite music schools route. Also have done the homeless youth and the heroin alley route. My advice to any youth connected to this case would have been to lay low and definitely not allow photos to Facebook.
Great post Buddy (Dec 23, 4:22 pm). Your 23-year-old visitor is very wise.
We have a lot of energy and brains on this board and I hope we use the “gift of communication” in a positive way.
People will clam-up right away if they feel judged or accused (teens case in point). I don’t think anyone on this site means to do that — we are all here to help find Morgan. But I think to keep the lines of communication open with a person that might be able to provide some insight we need to respond non-judgmentally.
Even if the words they write sound angry, even if we are shocked or disgusted.
There have been a few posters that might have been able to provide us with a clearer perspective, but have since clammed up. When they stop posting we lose the chance to communicate with them and gain a better understanding of Morgan and her world.
RNmom–
That is not Dan in that photo. I think this is the link to photo of Morgan Nichols & Dan Cassagne, if it works.
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30625822&id=1564500045&fbid=1241656092575#/photo.php?pid=30625823&id=1564500045
The so called Examiner article….not an article.
From the ‘article’,
“My next article will focus on the many insights posted on the Internet about this case, in the hopes of promoting further discussions. Who knows, it may just awaken someone who may unknowingly be holding information about this case.”
Insights. I can’t wait.
Last use of her phone still unanswered. Who did Morgan text?
Dee stated this evening on FB that her group went to sleep after the concert; thus, she could not have been the girl at the EconoLodgel
Did Skyler report the car pulled over on the ‘On’ ramp at Ivy and 64?
Did the LE interview Skyler?
Three sightings that might fall within the approximate time line:
EconoLodge, car on Ivy/64 ramp, and frantic boy asking directions to Harrisonburg at Boyd Tavern convenience store.
It concerns me that some of these ‘leads’ had and/or have not been followed-up by LE. Not aware of updates.
In my opinion, it’s doubtful that Morgan phoned SS from outside the arena and told her that she was getting a ride “home”. If she had, then there would have been no reason for SS and friends to wait in the parking lot for hours on Morgan. SS made both of these statements. So, which one is accurate?
Morgan might have said that she would go to somebody’s home/party in Charlottesville. Then, SS and friends would have a reason to be waiting in the parking lot for her.
IF Morgan stuck out her thumb, then it probably was as a joke to someone familiar to her that she saw. Or, because Morgan was impaired, via either intoxication and/or head injury, she may have been using poor judgment. Either way, I do not think that this is a stranger abduction. LE would have warned the community of Charlottesville had they not been relatively confident that Morgan knew the person she met.
Because she was quite intoxicated, per reports, perhaps, she did have alcohol poisoning and/or a concussion from the fall. Perhaps, she became comatose while with the friend/acquaintance(s). Perhaps, it was a tragic accident and the friend/acquaintance(s) panicked.
I tend to agree with OYE about the possibility of an accidental death in the presence of one or two young males and they being overwhelmed with fear.
I also tend to sense that OYE was expressing her frustration and her own fear of the outcome of this, which probably involves her friends. It most certainly touchéd her life through Morgan. I think her anger was that this tragedy happened and there may have been people within the social network who saw it coming, maybe or maybe not tried to prevent it, and Morgan, possibly, doing her own thing as the free spirited young lady that she was. You see, I heard OYE shouting angrily, but, I could also see her tears.
Well, I fear that this is going to be tragic for many yet to come. I wish the kids involved, and I really do think these are just more kids, would come forward and allow the Harringtons some peace in being able to give their daughter a proper burial. I think those with her during that tragic event will not rest until they do come forward.
Kristin, I’m assuming your directing your comment to me, as I took three looks at SS costume and said, what?
IMO, being a child of the eighties, if that was a Madonna costume she failed. But, your right I don’t know what she was going for, so I’ll leave it at that.
Rabbit19, thank you for your clarification on the FB page. Your input is most appreciated.
Mosaic, I agree with your post up to a point, but at least one of those posters came here and was very confrontational to every one that had a question or difference in opinion. Every one was very cordial. She only stopped posting once it became known who she was, she stayed for the duration of all differences of opinion, she stayed for Blink’s calling her out and asking for proof. She never answered a direct question even from Blink. Her last post was not based in truth as she herself was in the pic and the location of the pic as been figured out. Why would she claim photo-shop?
No one was judgmental of her, what I was critical of is her attitude of Morgan and I called foul at her lying about the pic. I’m sorry but like I wrote in my post to OYE this is not a game, there is more at stake here than offending a 23 year old’s sense of entitlement. If she knew that what she was posting about Morgan’s disappearance was more than just speculation or opinion, then by all means she should stop playing games and help LE figure out the truth. I do not apologize for telling her to get up and help Morgan, maybe if someone else would ask more of these friends, Morgan and OYE and all the others wouldn’t be living a nightmare now. JMO
Kristen,
Madonna, no way. Belinda Carlisle, GO-GO’s era, yes, I can see that.
“Morgan’s friends did not tell the truth when first asked about the car and who drove.”
Morgan’s dad, on findmorgan.com, clairified this and said he assumed they took another car which is why he thought Morgan’s car was not at the arena. It has since been verified that her car was used.
“So, if the girls are so completely innocent of any wrong doing other than underage “greiving”, why does one of them have an attorney?”
Probably because said person was with her that night and they are protecting their rights.
Everyone needs to read about Leo Frank, a man that was lynched and found guilty because people judged him on their definition of “strange” behavior after a little girl was murdered. He also hired an attorney and was immediately called guilty because of this fact. He has since been found innocent. The murderer got away with it, and a family’s life was ruined. (I’m sorry, I don’t know how to make something a hyperlink):
http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/not_guilty/frank/1.html
I know people are having discussions and that the case is coming to a standstill, but some comments are a little out there. Questioning their innocence based purely on behavior is a bad idea – “innocent before proven guilty” don’t forget.
I realize her Dad cleared this up, but it is my understanding that the friends allowed him to believe his assumption initially. Perhaps lie was too strong of a word.
I’m sorry, but if any thing good can come from Morgan’s disappearance it would be that we learned what not to do based upon Morgan’s actions after she was locked out (HH, not staying in lit area,not calling parents), and we learned alot based on the friends inaction. Also, that arena’s need to rethink the no remittance policy or provide a safe alternative to those locked out.
Hi, roageo, post 761 >>Did Skyler report the car pulled over on the ‘On’ ramp at Ivy and 64?
Did the LE interview Skyler? <<<
To answer your questions — yes, and no. I don’t remember whether it was Monday or Tues., the 19th or 20th, but I did call the tip line and spoke w/ a live person and reported what little I knew then — which hasn’t changed.
Also, I’ve given this some really hard thought, and I just think I’m too soon. If we take the time frame of 9:30 sighting on the Copeley Bridge, then that’s why I didn’t see Morgan — I’m about 5 to 10 mins. ahead of her. As far as the car pulled over on 64 — I honestly do not think it’s related. No. 1, again, it’s too soon. No. 2, even though the car was pulled over just ahead of the on ramp of 64, it doesn’t mean the car came from the exit — it could have been traveling and just pulled over there — plus — it was already parked and the person was already out of the car. Blink made the observation that someone may have been sick, and that’s quite plausible. The H1N1 virus was rampant in Va. at that time — and local people, please correct me if I’m wrong — but that is the hospital exit — I think; not sure — off 64 — someone was in the backseat. Maybe they missed the exit — all of that is speculation; however, I still think it’s not related because of the time.
Va. changed the “drinking” age from 18 to 21 in response to rampant alcohol abuse by that age group. It used to be if you were 18 you could buy 3.2, or “lite” beer. The Legislature also increased the criminal penalty for selling to underage persons from a retailer, and in the private sector of provider alcohol to persons under age 21. In my son’s high school, they started a school-sponsored “after party” where a ballroom of a hotel is rented, you have to have a ticket to get in, and the doors are locked — once you’re in, you don’t get out. At another local high school this horribly managled car where four intoxicated teenagers died after prom is parked on the front lawn.
I am not an attorney, but for the majority of my adult life I worked in the legal field, mostly on the civil side involving lawsuits, and a lot of those were accident cases. The worst cases I worked on were what I termed “dead kid” cases. The majority of those cases involved underage drinking on the part of the driver. These cases don’t settle overnight, and often it is four or five years later when my involvement started. It’s anguished parents losing their child, and it’s the driver, who nearly always survives, now older and their lives are ruined. They’re older, they realized what their actions caused and they have to live the remainder of their lives knowing they killed often their best friend. It’s never just one life lost — the life of the driver of that car is lost, too.
As parents, as adults, we cannot turn a blind eye to this situation saying: well, they’re just kids and I did the same thing at that age and I turned out fine. And this is why those pictures disturbed me so much.
I hope that the parents of these “kids” see those pictures and take tough action. I am the parent of an almost 19 y/o, and I can tell you, they are a tough crowd. It is so much easier just to give in so they will shut up and give you some peace, which I am not proud to say I’ve done more than once.
I do not mean to sound preachy. I personally have gained tremendous insight from the posters on this site. I wish to God I had pulled out my cell and dialed 9-1-1 to report the car on the side of the road. Again, I don’t think it was in any way related to Morgan, but maybe they were in trouble and didn’t have a cell.
I hope that those who do have knowledge of what happened to Morgan — or if she is still alive, where she is — will acquire an atty — because they have that right — and turn themselves in to LE, even if that includes making a “deal” as to lesser punishment, but it will end the torrment the Harringtons are going thru. I have tremendous faith that she is going to be found. Once that happens, the opportunity to “deal” is over.
It is officially Christmas Eve and the middle of the night — my dog heard the cat scratching in the litter box (I know, TMI, for sure) but it set her off on a five-min. barking spree — ugh.
I wish everyone the peace and blessings of this holiday season.

Someone asked if the Halloween pictures at JMU were taken in a dorm room or off-campus housing. These are from off campus housing. My D attends JMU and I can tell you that underage drinking is rampant there…and beer is free at all parties! I’m not sure how they pull that off, but that is the case. These pictures look like this may have been a private event and the girls may have bought their own beer. The pictures may also be of “pre-game” event meaning this was just the warm-up party for the main event. “Pre-gaming” is the term my daughter uses to describe the drinking that occurs prior to going to the party. And yes…this occurs in the dorms as well. To say I’m on edge most of the academic year is an understatement!
Dear Observer,
Hey thanks for the kind comments. Praise from you is like winning the Nobel Prize in Crime sleuthing.
****************************************
Observer wrote –
I encourage all readers to pay very close attention to everything Sherlock has stated in her #656 post. Everything.
*******************************************
BTW Observer, I’m a guy, LOL. Hope you still think I’m smart, even though I never ask for directions
Now I’ll return the compliment. Everyone should read what Observer says in post # 689 above –
***********************************
That does not imply that MH’s friends may not intentionally be attempting (emphasis on “attempting”) to withhold certain information that might otherwise be helpful to LE in determining what led to MH’s disappearance. It does imply—-by intent—-that MH’s friends did not contrive events that evening to intentionally lead to MH’s demise. These are two very different things, with dramatically different implications.
****************************************
Important – yes, Morgan’s friends may have lied BEFORE the fact, before they thought anything was wrong, simply to cover Morgan’s plan to do “XYZ” that night. That does NOT mean they lied to cover up her death or had any knowledge of any foul play. Two different types and intents of deception there – if I may rephrase Observer’s words.
Her friends’ lying may only be an indirectly related deception to what eventually happened to MH.
Now, Momof3 – yes, good criticism about her Metallica poster. I didn’t say it was a perfect theory. But I still say the general overall pattern of MH’s music interests were in a much different direction. A good fact to know would be – how many other heavy metal concerts has Morgan attended in the last year? I would guess none.
This crime will fit into one of the following categories, as more facts emerge –
1. Crime of passion.
This obviously would involve someone she knew. Friend or ex-BF. The type of death could be –
A. accidental
B. intentional and pre-meditated
2. Predatory crime.
A. Serial killer or rapist
B. Random opportunity
And each of these would have two possibilities of M.O.
1. Rape and or kidnapping
2. Murder
Since there have been no other known victims thus far, we can temporarily rule out Serial. However, we cannot yet rule out that she may still be alive and kidnapped. We know this happens, though usually with much younger victims.
3. Crime of deception and cover up
Two possibles here –
A. Death was accidental (partially self inflicted with alcohol/drugs)
and the cover up is to conceal other crimes (drug use) or the PERCEPTION of those lying that the truth they know would make them accessories to her death, even though legally that might not be true.
We’re talking young people here remember, who are not crime or legal experts. Initially telling the truth may have not have resulted in their arrest – but they’re scared and now it’s too late.
Again, Observer and I are of the same mind here. These friends (at least the ones we KNOW of) could not have disposed of a body due to many reasons. And – too many involved, someone would have cracked by now. Look at the pictures of these party girls – they could have hidden the body of their friend like a serial killer expert?? Not likely folks. They may be callous friends, with questionable morals, but that’s a long reach to say they hid her body when she accidentally died. No, that takes nerve, cunning, secrecy, emotional detachment, discipline. I doubt these girls could cheat on an exam and get away with it.
There is likely only one person who knows where she or her body is. And they are smart enough to keep themselves quiet and lay low.
One last thought – if she did die accidentally (party?) in the company of others, the least someone would have done is call 911 and report it anonymously, still protecting themselves, dig?
Do you –
1. Call 911 and risk a possible drug arrest at worst, or just being questioned by LE. Or –
2. Fail to call 911 and risk a murder/manslaughter charge by concealing her body?
I think the answer is obvious.
Merry Christmas all! I am so blessed to have my whole family here spending the Holiday with me. My thoughts and prayers are with those families that do not and especially the ones that do not know where their family members are. I hope each and everyone has a great Christmas. I hope the Harrington’s get some answers soon, because not knowing has to be much worse than the reality.
4 drove to concert but only 2 came back????? Below post from http://www.findmorgan.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1524
Sarah and the other friend drove Morgan’s car back to JMU after that concert.
http://tinyurl.com/yzpyyn5
So, we have one less passenger, who didn’t go home that night, other than Morgan?
At noon on October 17, 2009 Morgan and her roommate, Amy, left Roanoke in her 2006 Honda to travel 90 minutes north on I-81 to James Madison University (JMU). At JMU, Morgan and Amy met up with Sarah and Dan (a friend’s BF) to travel 60 minutes east to Charlottesville, Va. Dan was the designated driver of Morgan’s vehicle. The group arrived in Charlottesville at 6:00 pm where they were to attend the Metallica concert at the John Paul Jones Arena.
So, which person didn’t return on the drive home that night, Amy or Dan?
Another post from Sarah clearly said according to that reporter that 4 went and 2 drove home
Sarah clearly said according to that reporter that 4 went and 2 drove home
Yep. Which freezes my shorts because that means either Amy or Sarah stayed.
B
So, if Dan was designated drive and whose name was being held till now, one would assume that the “other friend” was Dan (not to mention Sara and Dan go to JMU and Amy and Morgan VT). So…..where was Amy? Now, Amy moved out of the apartment they shared ( don’t get me wrong – could just be it upsets her too much ) and also Morgan spending more time at her parents house lately? Didn’t she also show up unexpected at her parents house just days before the concert?
Momof3 — thanks for posting back, I value your opinion. In no way do I feel that something you said made OYE clam up. I think she stopped talking because her face and name were exposed.
I, for one, do not know which of those three other girls she is in the photo with Morgan and AM. And it does not matter to me which one she is — what does matter is knowing what she thinks we are missing, i.e. what we need to open our eyes about.
I think anonymity helps people talk and say the truth. That’s why I’m certain LE keeps an eye on these online forums and facebook pages. I fully understand that anonymity can also be used to deceive and I think Blink works very hard to keep that from happening on her site.
OYE’s attitude about Morgan, while possibly upsetting, reveals part of Morgan’s life and the dynamics of her friendships. So do those pictures of the Halloween party. If we’re to look for consistencies, those pictures help.
An angry, confrontational post from someone that knows Morgan is valuable in that it helps us get to the truth. Pictures of her imbibing friends at a party help us get to the truth.
I just do not think that putting these young people on the hot seat in a public forum will encourage communication — they will quickly shut down.
Just throwing this out there as a possible theory and am absolutely not accusing anyone, just tossing ideas around…..
Amy and Morgan, roommies, not been getting along all that great lately.
The “party” goes to the concert
Amy and Morgan get into an argument at the concert (Morgan’s injuries)- possible fueled by alcohol
Explains sightings of Morgan being “upset” in the bathroom, possibly also why she left the arena (pissed).
In her haste/anger/buzzed state, did she forget she didn’t have the keys?
Sara calls to check on her – I believe that Sarah called Morgan at 8:48 not the other way around, correct?
Morgan just wants to go party now after all that – trying to make her way to the Econolodge (and, according to the reported sighting, made it to the Econolodge)
At some point, Amy leaves the group also (thus only 2 returning). Maybe the argument wasn’t over in Amy’s eyes or maybe to go make up, who knows
Then Morgan’s yet unknown fate. But, if this scenario is even remotely close, I would lean towards whatever happened to Morgan being an accident and people panicked.
If this is correct (contribution from Dee S.)…
“We went outside and with the huge crowd of people going outside then we got into our friend’s car and went back to JMU and went to sleep because we were all exhausted. That’s it. I hope that can clear up anybody’s questions.”
…then who was it that the newspaper carrier saw on campus at 3:30 in the morning?
OK, folks (deep breath here)…You guys are AWESOME and I admit I am SO not-even-in-your-league. But I snipped the actual quote from the link mentioned by Judi in #781.
<>
It clearly says one of THREE people in the car on the way to the concert and TWO on the way back. Could it be that in the beginning the concert goers were protecting the male by leaving him completely out of the equation?
BTW, I LOVE this site and visit, like, 87 times per day. As is the case with most of you, the Harrington’s plight has touched me in a way that simple words are not adequate enough to express. Praying for peace and questions answered this season of miracles…
well, pooh. the quote didn’t paste. here it is without the brackets. LOL
…I also spoke with current JMU student, Northside High School graduate, and close friend of Morgan Harrington, Sarah Snead. Snead told me she was one of the three people in Morgan’s car on the way to the Metallica concert, and one of the two people in the car on the way back from the concert to JMU…
Was she texting someone about their argumemt, did she tell the BB players about it?
Did her battery die and already pissed off, she threw it?
Is LE looking for the person(s) she went to the party with that night not as a person of interest but rather as a witness?
This would explain also why LE would say that UVA students don’t have a bad-guy on the loose or that they do not have any evidence to confirm that foul play even ever occured. Is that because they know it was an accident?
Of course, this doesn’t explain Morgan’s parents statement about being abducted, raped and murdered, though.
Response to #716-cville concerned. Thank-you for your post. I definitely agree about the possibility of Morgan being taken by a predator.
Before Ted Bundy was executed, he gave an interview in which he did not actually confess, but proposed “what if” scenarios. He described how a predator hunts for victims. Clearly, a predator is constantly alert for potential opportunities and victims. A predator cruises with a kit at hand , ready to use.
Given Morgan’s vulnerability (separated from others, possibly injured and agitated) and the location (dark, raining, cold) she could have been (praying not) like bait to a hungry shark.
I think of of Imette St. Guillen, Jennifer Moore and Ramona Moore–all crimes of opportunity where the victim was in the wrong place/wrong time. Gosh I hope I’m wrong, but I have a horrible feeling of dread that this is what happened.
On a side note, I think there was probably quite a bit of jealousy towards Morgan from her friends. She has an ethereal beauty, “shiny”, as her Mom describes her. Please let her come home.
Blink,
Post 782, Yep. Which freezes my shorts because that means either Amy or Sarah stayed.
B
Did you mean to say Dan or Amy stayed?
Has anyone seen this?
“Harrington was wearing an all-black outfit, including black tights, when she disappeared. Her purse and cellphone were found the following day in a grassy parking area on the southeast edge of the Lannigan Field track. The black fabric — possibly torn pieces of clothing — was found at the north end of the track”

They found a piece of black fabrice near her purse that could be torn clothing!?!? WHOAH!
Is the person that stayed behind the same person that obtained counsel?
Judi, this fabric was found during one of the initial ground searches on the campus. I don’t believe that it was ever publicly verified to be an article of Morgan’s clothing, although it may very well be.
Sure wish Amy Melvin would come forward and answer a few questions.
Is AM father also LE?
So, after the concert, Sarah Snead waited three hours in the parking lot for WHO? Amy or Dan? Somebody never showed up, apparently, so, Sarah and one passenger less (two passengers if Morgan H. is counted) drove back to JMU.
Because, Sarah SAID that Morgan had already told her that she would find her own way back home, right?
Please do not read too much into Dan or anyone having retained counsel. It really is not necessarily an implication of any guilt.
Now, one of the basketball players, maybe…
Please correct me if I’m wrong…after the concert there was communication between Morgan’s “party” and Dee S’s “party”. Someone from Morgan’s party said, “We are missing someone.”
Is it possible the person that spoke was NOT referring to Morgan but rather someone else in their party?…if four went and two came back? What has been confirmed about the number of travelers to and from the arena?
Hi All -
Only post if you think it is ok.
I was looking at the findmorgan.com and a couple posts I thought I’d share. I couldn’t view Morgan’s fb photos so the settings may have been changed.

well yeah….but some people wanted to know what kind of person she was…not everyone in college drinks or parties that much…I dunno just an observation
EDIT: For instance, one of the comments that made me wonder was this picture:http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi…6&id=522713449
If you cant see it, the picture is in the album ‘Camping’ and is a picture of her and her friend laying on the ground smoking a cigarette.. Morgan commented on the picture and said “Morgan Harrington Things just went downhill from here.my nails bled for weeks after I peeled those tips off. i lost that sweater at a creepy guys house, and sacrificed my last unicorns so i wouldn’t have to make awkward small talk. and then the man stomped me down.

That makes me wonder how often she would go up to strangers…even ones that were “creepy” like she says…

But I read on another thread that they waited there for 3 straight hours. Now this is not normal in my opinion. Why would they wait for so long if Morgan’d said she would find a ride from friends in C’ville and even if she didn’t pick up her phone? I have two thoughts here:
1. She told them she was going somewhere (to party some more) with someone (presumably they all knew) until the concert was over. Once it was over, they were waiting for her to come back from this place, but she never did, and they assumed she was having fun and forgot to come back.
2. They were feeling guilty that they just left her on her own to find a ride back home.
I know that neither make a lot of sense because of what her friends said to LE, but what they say totally don’t make sense either, so I am just thinking around.

Well she’s not answering her phone and what if they get halfway home and she calls and says she needs them to come get her?
And that 3 hours doesn’t mean they stayed in the parking lot, they might have gone to get something to eat etc

Also when people were complaining about friends Halloween pix JH28 responded
I find it hard to question what the friends are doing 2+ months later. They are college students who from everything we know have nothing to do with this, and at some point they have to go on with their lives.
I thought I read on Blink very early on that the person who had counsel was at JMU.
