Thanks Clem.
Yawn. I am aware. It never ceases to amaze me when people are exposed for what THEY caused themselves, the first response is to attack others. Pathetic.
B
Yet you posted an unsubstantiated tip about questioners identity, and then, when the truth was revealed, you chose to ignore it.
What are you talking about? I was asked the question, told what I heard and was emphatic I did NOT know nor would I be spending anytime to find out. This is a case of missing woman. Not a popularity contest. This site IS for people to come together to progress a dialog and hopefully leads, which I can state as a fact has been successful in every case that I have ever worked on personally.
Your missing the point. I do not CARE who they are, if they are not contributing constructively, I do not and will not make time for that nonsense. Respect that, please. It is not an invitation for folks to lash out at me, who had nothing to do with any of it at anytime. If people don’t like the way that behavior makes them look, perhaps they should not engage in it. Moving On.

Skyler, could you possibly provide a link to the interview with SS?
Also, could you point me to the thread of said friend who checked with friends regarding transportation? TIA
M,
SS stated she was 1 of 2 that rode back, Morgan was missing, who else didn’t ride back?

Blink,
As you know I have been following this case closely but have never commented. I am curious about why you seem so interested in the moms,aunts, girlfriends of the bball players being in town the weekend Morgan went missing. Is your feeling related to the missing necklace?
Welcome Mamy, sorry but I have said everything I can about that issue for now.

Ah, so the next good question is: what is meant by “acting irrationally”? I guess it could mean anything from:
“We told Morgan to just wait for us, or meet us at the door and we’d give her the keys, or give her money to buy a ticket to come back in. We couldn’t reason with her, she insisted on finding a ride home. She just wasn’t rational.”
to
“We called her and she answered the phone but she sounded really strange and was saying weird things, and we couldn’t seem to get through to her.”
to
Everyone who saw her in the parking lot thought she was acting really strangely, saying and doing strange things.
I don’t know which way they meant it, but it could be something as small as Morgan stubbornly refusing to listen to reason, to Morgan acting like she was out of her mind. Does the media not ask simple follow-up questions like, What do you mean Morgan was acting irrationally? Or do they ask, and LE refuses to answer?
Many thanks.
B
Emily, I’m kind of with you in thinking that there was a fight between Morgan and her concert mates, with Morgan storming out in a huff. But not if she kissed them goodbye—unless she was mad at one, and kissed the other goodbye. But then that wouldn’t be irrational behavior.
Total mystery, disappearing so quickly. But then I think of that lady in CA (Matrice Richardson) who was acting irrationally in a restaurant, was arrested for not paying her bill, and disappeared as soon as she was released from the police station. Just googled to get her name and 3 months later she still has not been found. SHE was acting irrationally, but may have been severely bipolar. Here’s the latest for anyone curious about her. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/12/la-sheriff-orders-homicide-probe-in-mitrice-richardson-disappearance.html
While trolling for information on the nature of Morgan’s telephone contact with friends inside the arena, I came across this site:
http://www.roanoke.com/datasphere/wb/224154
It credits the VSP as its source. It has (quote):
At 8:48 p.m., spoke with friends inside arena who called her and suggested other ways to get back into the arena. Harrington told them she might try to get a ride home from “friends around Charlottesville.”
I don’t remember reading this “friends around Charlottesville” before, but perhaps others have churned it over here at Blink on Crime.
Thoughts?
sorry — forgot to copy the link # and can’t find it now — I shouldn’t read backwards — but someone posted they have a brother who is a detective, and he believes LE has a definite POI —
what concerns me in that scenario is this, and has concerned me for awhile: If LE has a POI and has a theory of what happened — are they dismissing all other leads that do not fit into that theory or that person ? Are they only following up on leads/info which fit into their POI, trying to make the evidence fit their theory ? What if they are wrong ?
Elizabeth, I have to say, I’m w/ you in my frustration level . I read somewhere as to why Natalie Holloway’s name remained in the press, that Natalie’s mother was “a force to be reckoned w/” —
This is what baffles me so much in this case — and no disrespect intended for the Harringtons. I’m the type of person who deals w/ a crises situation head on very calmly — and then I crash and burn later when I’m alone and the crises has passed.
The Harringtons are not w/out financial resoures. I am not speaking to their own personal wealth. Metallica has given them $50,000 w/ no strings attached, use it in any way to help find Morgan. We’re into the third month — no one has come forward to claim the 150-grand reward. It is not an incentive for release of information. The further you get from the date of occurrence, the further you get to resolution.
People are posting here and on other sites that tips to LE are not being returned. It is unthinkable to me that newspaper lady’s tip has gone unanswered. LE makes a veiled statement that it was ck’d out and not connected. Some residents of The Lawn have stated it’s usually pretty quiet there, and no one matching Morgan’s description lives on The Lawn. Hello ? Newspaper Lady says she’s seen one of the people the Morgan-look-alike was w/ after her 10-18 sighting. You do not need a warrant to ask questions of anybody in a criminal investigation. The easy answer to this, find the boy NL says she saw w/ the girl, identify the girl — make a public statement: We have spoken w/ the girl NL identified as Morgan, and we can positively state it is a false lead, it is not Morgan. But that hasn’t happened. If that girl was Morgan, then she doesn’t live on the lawn. The sighting, as I recall, was around 3:30 AM — residents of the Lawn may have been asleep and couldn’t have seen her.
It’s my understanding that two reputable search teams — the equestrian team, and another team that uses dogs to search — have offered their services — free of charge — I’m not even sure if they’ve asked for reimbursement of travel expenses to transport themselves and the animals — no searches have been conducted — the general public, on the FB page, are trying to arrange a search on Jan. 16th —
I bear in mind Observer’s question to me about how do I know the Harringtons have not engaged the services of a PI firm — I don’t know. But it doesn’t appear to be so. They’ve got this money — hire a reputable PI firm to start running down some of these leads LE is not.
You have people coming out of the woodwork ready to volunteer to help find Morgan — set up an 800 # for tips different from LE’s — people will volunteer to answer the calls, and I know people would volunteer to coordinate follow up. You do not have to be present at a certain location to answer the phone — somehow there is technology available that people could answer the tip line phone at home —
I’m also concerned from postings where people who were on the public search and found items — that those items were briefly examined and deemed not relevant — we don’t know who took Morgan –it could have been a female — the one poster said they found jewelry, which was examined and discarded as not relevant — how do you know it’s “not relevant” if you don’t know who the perp is, unless you have tunnel vision and only one POI and you’re trying to make the evidence fit that person ?
Both the Harringtons and LE have asked for the public’s assistance and input. “Look for someone not behaving normally” —
Well, thank you for that riveting piece of info — I’m sure we’ll have the perp tomorrow based on that ….
I do not believe LE will find out what happened to Morgan.
I think if the Harringtons want a speedy resolution to this situation, they are going to have to be the ones who become extremely pro-active in this case —
take Metallica’s money — hire a reputable PI firm w/ enough man power to follow up on leads — even if you can only hire them for a short period of time — start releasing creditable facts to the public — allow the public to assist you, as you’ve asked
Until there are aggressive, pro-active steps taken, my fear is that it will be a long long time before Morgan’s fate is known ….
Turning off the computer — my NY’s rez was to get my new house organized, so I guess that means I need to go unpack boxes.
Peace to all who come here — may God guide us in our steps in recovering Morgan
To answer mary at #1547-48 about where one would be some 10 minutes from Copeley Rd:
Short answer is almost anywhere in this small town.
Going west you could be passing through Ivy on 250, or you could have done the bypass headed south and gotten on to 64 and travelled a few miles east or west.
If you headed eastward into town, you could be at the downtown mall, the housing projects, the Corner, West Lawn, other student housing around JPA and the Corner, and any number of City neighborhoods.
If you headed North, you’d run into traffic if you did 29N (I’d guesstimate you might have reached Rio Rd) but you could have skipped that and gone northwest by 21 Curves/Garth, or Georgetown/Hydraulic.
There’s loads of possibilities for someone who knows the area — so long as he/she has a passenger who isn’t resisting.
Well, I was getting ready to sign off, then saw this:

Momof3, I will look in my computer history to see if I can find the link — it was one of the last things I did last night, so hopefully it won’t be too far down the line — I think it was posted on the local TV station’s website — but I don’t know if that is Charlottesville or Roanoke —
give me a sec ….
This is the Geraldo interview on 10-25 — it’s long — but interesting. In it Dan says there is footage of her “around the arena” — I don’t know if he is referring to footage inside, which turned out to be Dee, or footage from outside the arena. Dan also says she had options, one being calling friends she knew in Charlottesville ….
http://video.foxnews.com/v/3943091/
still looking for the Sara interview.
Skyler,found link to SS interview. I don’t see it the same way- I think it says more that she was not “dolled” up. Her hair looked clean but not styled she had some makeup on. I commend her for being there. Would like to point out that I think this is the same search day that the other girl (MH was possibly mocking HH and making funny faces) IMO SS behaved better. The link below also has the interview with MH LE father. So she was behaving that way with her father there….
In regards to friend mentioning two cars. His posts as well as link to SS interview was posted from WS. Here is the link. Is this what you were referring to?
Harrisonburg?http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90862&page=5
He at first says there was 6 people who went then changes to 5, not sure if he was speaking to the actual friends that went, though. He says 4girls one guy so he couldn’t be refering to Dave or Dee’s “party” right?
Emily, Welcome to BOC and thanks for sharing your past experiences. I agree an argument with one of the friends would go along way into understanding the behavior of the friends that night.
zarpisimo post #1026 goes into greater detail with more of on topic points, IMO. Zarpisimo, I apologize for not seeing your post earlier, great insights.
Hummingbird and Candice Bond, Yes I did see this found camera report. Do you think LE has looked into whether or not it could be Morgan’s?
M, #1517
why not just take out & destroy the memory card & leave the camera with the phone?
Some of the Sony cameras have internal memory as well as memory stick storage. More than just a matter of “removing the card” to delete evidence.
Lack of knowledge, or knowledge there are also items on the hard drive.

Here are the links to SS and Mr. Herrick interview at the end of search clip and the link I provided earlier this one works, sorry…
OK, this is O/T, and obviously if you choose not to post it, I will completely understand.
Against my better judgement, curiosity got the best of me, and I had to go look at the site that all the fuss was being made over (and the post linked above).
At first, I thought the guy seemed somewhat intelligent, so I read one of his articles. I certainly didn’t agree with what he was trying to insinuate, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Then, I got to the comments. This guy (lawyer?) admits that he picks and chooses what comments he posts, and what he deletes. OK, fine. Then, half the comment board is taken up by a couple of complete idiots. One, by the name of “heckler” who has absolutely nothing of significance to say at all. Who on earth would want to waste their time reading such asinine comments?
The site was a complete turn-off for me. If these are the comments he chooses to keep, I guess he’s got a bit of a problem.
I had no idea that the link above was something actually written by him. If I had any respect for the man at all, he lost every last ounce of it with that piece of work.
Also, I did not realize that a lawyer can threaten someone on a public forum. I think he should watch his step, and as a lawyer, he should certainly know better. He is making himself look like a complete fool. How immature can a supposedly educated man be?
To top it off, he has received information from a credible source, and then he links himself to, of all things, “thepocomokepubliceye”?? I’m sorry, but that would be the last place I would ever want MY name associated with.
I know he is trying for whatever reason to discredit you, but what he is doing is really a disservice to himself.
Sorry…I knew I shouldn’t have looked.
I know. Sigh.

How many of the “friends” have a parent in local LE?
B – (re: #1499)
“J2K, you said:
‘The absurd, unnatural nonchalance we’ve been fed about their actions following the call is what is so incredibly weird to me.’
Since I know you just read the Gift of Fear, what does this say to you as a predictor?” ~B
Ooh! Applied knowledge. Very interesting question B. The crux of the book is harnessing one’s intuition to predict violent behavior and navigate through potentially dangerous situations – it did not occur to me I could apply the Messengers – such as nagging feelings that something is off – to analyze and intuitively re-attune my perception of a distant situation rather than a personal one.
So, to answer your provocative query, I would say that my gut instinct – based on the unsettling depiction of the Friends’ behavior/reported reactions that night – is that they are not being honest about what really happened and/or what MH’s intentions/communications were after exiting the arena.
This could mean something as simple as they got into a fight with her – maybe she felt the two were ganging up on her; maybe that has always been an issue weighing on their lifelong friendships – or there was some kind of irrational meltdown due to intoxication that led to MH storming off and making a regrettable decision.
I don’t think SS and AM or even Dan were directly involved in her demise – but at this point I believe they inadvertently played a role in it.
The questions are: what has LE learned about how events went down that evening from the Friends after their initial “she said she was going to the bathroom and next thing you know she says she’s finding a ride home” story. That account has remained the media’s narrative, but I bet it belies a more troubling scenario.
Leaving this intact for all to digest.
B
OK, Blink, I’ve got it now…
The place I didn’t want to go is the place where you already are.
Yep.
I am assuming you asked yourself, What did I already know, before I “knew it”.. It was my first instinct.
Yes?
B
Her actions that we all find so confusing are all in line with symptoms of the date rape drug. Notice that the cops confirmed she was drinking not drunk. Mind the choice of wording. I believe she left her friends to meet someone in the vendor/beer area, this person bought her beer, slipped something in her drink and all of her subsequent behavior as reported by witnesses are due to the effects of the date rape drug, which are: confusion, disorientation, feeling sick, unable to breath, trouble walking and talking, disinhibitions, feeling of fearlessness. All of which take effect within approx 20 minutes of consumption, less of combined with alcohol. This explains her taking pics and falling and seeming dazed when she got up as described by one witness, crying and throwing up in the bathroom by another, could explain why she left the arena (needing air and/or disorientated), outside dropping her purse as seen by other witnessed, shaking her leg at whom I would assume are the BB players as seen by the limo driver (disinhibitions), and if true, HHing on bridge (feeling of fearlessness).
It seems to me as though this is a case that should be able to be solved. Communications prior to and on the day of Oct 17th via both internet, phone and text, along with her friends, should be able to reveal who she would be meeting at the concert. Texting while out in the parking lot and conversations with the BB players should reveal who she was intenting on meeting up with and her current frame of mind. Friends and online info such as facebook should reveal who she knew in the area. And, the last person to see someone is always important, which in this case are the BB players. So…..it is either someone who she had a pre-planned meeting with at the concert from the area OR the bb players, IMO.
Either way, LE should be able to get to the bottom of either scenario.
I believe one would have to believe she was on the bridge if the dogs smelled her there. But, I also believe tat we do have the crime scene, which is the parking lot, I believe AFTER the bridge sighting. With a pre-paid parking pass, could one come and go as they please in and out of the parking lot with that pass? Is it true that Le stated that they found clothing because if so, then one would believe that is the torn piece of black cloth that they found.
Actually, what has me stumped now is why LE hasn’t gotten further in this case or solved it yet. Also stumped why LE says that have no evidence of foul play. If they believe she was slipped the date rape drug, that in itself is foul play. But, with the finding of a purse with a torn strap, possibly a piece of clothing, and a missing girl, how can they say no evidence of foul play?
Is seems as though the answers are all within grasp. Noticeably absent was any mention of the BB players, the last ones to see and speak to Morgan. I pay attention to choice of wording and what is said and/or not said. No mention of them raises my eyebrow. I have to believe LE knows more than what they say.
The entire Harrington family appear to be SO nice and my heart goes out to them. Morgan, who is just stunning, so full of life, has her whole life yet to live. Morgan and her parents have captivated the hearts of so many. Morgan needs to be found. I pray alive.
It is my understanding from my daughter (UVA student) that there seems to be no extraordinary alarm from campus/LE to the students (at this time) that they should take special care in C’ville or on campus to be watchful for a BG….this tells me that they have info or believe that either: 1) they suspect who the POI/BG is and do not feel he is a threat to the general population (that sounds like they believe some sort of crime of passion related to MH personally)2) they are saying now that the answer lies in C’ville when in reality they think it does not and are mis-leading on purpose. Thoughts?
Thanks, I have similar information.
B
A couple new thoughts have occurred to me.
Most concerts or other large venues now do bag searches and/or use metal detectors. If M was wearing the necklace, it could have set off the detector in which case she would have to remove it to be allowed in. In her haste and excitement to get into the venue, perhaps she simply tossed her necklace into her purse instead of putting it back on? Her friends would have known she was wearing it and or it was in her bag at some point.
I believe Granny too, I have since the beginning so I too am on the BF, ex BF, unrequited BF page. It had to be someone that knew to remove the battery and the camera. I don’t see a random bad guy picking her up on the bridge, sifting through her bag and removing certain items.
If this were a game of clue I would be guessing DW, in his car, BB players used to “distract or detain” her.
Blink I went to Amazon and ordered two books for my 20 and 21 year old daughters. Had to LOL at the tie them to the funds. It works! I urge any of you with kids in college or about to go, be sure your child signs all forms allowing you to be called regarding health, grades or attendance.
Bravo.
B
Dar,
Very Kind and Thank you.

I guess to follow Blink’s cheese smell, we need to explore the basketball players. This makes sense to me since they were the last ones to see her. They look particularly suspicious since they didn’t come forward right away, not to the public, to the police. I know at some point there was speculation as to who they were but I don’t remember now.
When they ran into her she would have been obviously drunk/on drugs. My belief is drugs since even if she was drinking on the way to the concert and at the concert she had a whole hour outside where she would have sobered up some. If she was drunk beyond that, I don’t think she would have been able to stay on her feet and wonder around for an hour. I may be wrong since I don’t have any personal experience with drugs and only limited knowledge of alcohol.
So then their choices were to leave her alone, get her help or help her party. I think they left her alone collectively, otherwise someone would have told by now, much harder to keep a secret like that between three people. But what if one of them decided to pick her up when they realized she was hitchhiking on the bridge?
If we believe the witness that said she kicked him when he turned her down maybe she was looking to hook up with somebody so one of them offering her a ride or taking her somewhere to party may have not raised any danger flags.
I would want to know who they are and what they did after they left her.
Did they all have cars?
Did they leave together or went their separate ways?
Do they live on campus or off? Where do they go party? A frat house?
If we can answer even some of these questions we may be on to something.
The other possibility of course would be a total stranger but I’m not buying it.
I am thiking of the purse and have this thought. If it was the person that took and harmed Morgan I don’t think the purse was discarded while Morgan was in the car. I think the purse was returned after something happened to Morgan. Morgan was not a little girl she was a grown woman who could be fighting and kicking. Hummm now I am thinking she could have been unconscience. My thoughts just go round and round.
Skyler I have to ask. What makes you think the $50,000 that Metallica put up as a reward is for the “Harringtons to use as they see fit”? I have always believed that all the $150,000 is for return of Morgan. I will look into that.
I think, my opinion only, that there is a PR firm handling most of what is said and what is being kept from the public. I think it was that PR firm that set up the Findmorgan.com and everything that goes into and out of there. I can only hope and pray they have a PI working on their behalf. Somebody that would come highly recommended to them. I do know they have some woman that offered through the forums I believe to write articles about Morgan’s case. She has written two and most of what she wrote is what we have known from day three. Sorry I will try again. Funny she wrote those first two right away and now nothing. I wonder what she discovered that maybe they don’t want reported. Hummm.

Hey all,
Does anyone know if Morgan’s necklace was inscribed in any way, making it unique? Maybe even with a form of the 2-4-1 dots the H family uses? Maybe that same necklace turned up on the person of one of the female guests at UVA that weekend?
“Her actions that we all find so confusing are all in line with symptoms of the date rape drug.” It is my uneducated understanding that the date rape drug makes you all but incapacitated within 20 mins or so. From the timeline we have been given, it seems like she was out interacting with people, texting and talking on the phone with folks for an hour after leaving the arena.
I totally agree. I do not believe she was on benzos or Ruphies, or anything else that would have incapacitated her within minutes.
B
It was my first instinct, yes…but, I was trying hard not to “go” there. I was kind of in the mode of “well, try to disprove everything else before you go back there”.
But, all of a sudden, it hit me (with the help of your clues, of course)– and my true reaction was “Holy Crap!!!”…she’s already there.
And since I am sure that you now have more information than I, I have to go with you on this one.
Blink, please, is something about to break here? Are they close?
Blink, Bravo for the books or because I can smell the cheese?
lakeluver,
I recall reading somewhere, a while back, that some individuals working for RMC at JPJ events finish their shift at 9:30pm which would fall within the timeline. Can’t remember the source, so unfortunately cannot supply a link for confirmation.
If I went back I could find this info, but does anyone remember where the basketball players were parked and if it is the same lot where Morgans purse and phone were found?
I have been keeping my eye on Alex Harrington since this all began. I know he has lost his sister but something just isn’t right with this dude. He lives in NY and is into Fashion. In the beginning when Morgan first went missing Alex had a picture of Morgan on his Facebook page. Strange I thought because most Facebook people have their own picture there. Then I learned that Morgan used to make food runs on the airplane to Alex. Work must not have been too good.
The first week after Morgan went missing Alex curled up in Morgans bed and there he stayed. He was home for Thanksgiving but I don’t think he made it for Christmas. Now he has changed his facebook picture. I would have thought with all his contacts he would have the Missing Poster as a lot of Facebook people do. But no, Alex now has taken down the picture of Morgan and posted this one of himself. Seems kind of strange to me. Oh well..what do I know.

i have a ? to all my sleuthing friends….. are there any pictures (or sightings) of morgan’s “friends” wearing her necklace?
rvrb, thanks for the info re: 10 minutes out from the bridge. I was afraid that would be the answer. In response to your question about the “friends around Charlottesville” – yes, we have chewed it up, swallowed it, digested it and well, you know the rest. Basically it is beyond anyone’s comprehension how her friends could be so lackadaisical about her finding a ride. At one point her parents even said she “didn’t HAVE any friends in Charlottesville” and that sent us on another tailspin, although I think most of us have pretty much felt that the parents may not have been aware of quite a bit in Morgan’s life.
Then Skyler said something earlier which has stuck with me (#1549):
“Unless ….
…. that was NOT the phone conversation. If the conversation really was that Morgan had texted Person X to pick her up, or she was going to find a ride to the “party” if there was a party —”
My daughter is 19 and a college sophomore. When I asked her at the beginning of this what she would do if one of her friends said they would “find a ride”, she said her first question would be, “with WHO?”, and it would have to be someone she knows, or connected in some way with someone she knows, that is, not “sketchy”.
So maybe that is NOT what Morgan said, but LE is just saying that’s what she said to throw the perp off track, so he won’t know he’s under the microscope. I don’t know.
to Blink, January 3, 2010 @ 12:11 pm:
“By, the way, if you can answer, was BF wearing a yellow wrist-band?”
“Whose BF? If Zach, yes.
B”
Thank you, Blink. Yes I was referring to DS’s boyfriend. If that was a JPJ issued yellow wrist-band for the purpose of being served and purchasing alcohol, I trust JPJ verified his age, because I thought he was closer in age to Dan C. Could be my thought was wrong. Thanks again.
Hey, Momof3 — I forgot to answer the second part of that question — here I am; back again — watching TV, so I thought I’d scoot over and see whazzz new.
The “friend of the friends” is someone who posts as: Tarheelplaya
this link is from a google search I just did — but, interesting enough I found a site where someone w/ the same screen name was telling his tale of woe — he got into a fight w/ another guy who was hittin’ on his girl, and was sentenced to a year in jail; got out in 9 mos., when he went home his mother wanted him out and some other guy learned of his story helped him get his life in order. So as I was reading that I was wondering how in the world did this guy become in the inner circle of “the nine” — so I read some more and he is into body building ….
….. which may connect him to the Hatmal guys in Roanoke who work at the gym and is in the Electric-somebody (I’m as bad w/ names as I am directions) — the band in Roanoke that Morgan likes …
but that Tarheelplaya who wrote the summary may not be the same tarheelplaya as this guy — but if he is, makes me go hmmmmmmmmmm
here’s that link, Mom : ) — do that thing you do so well, take it and run !

People here and on other forums are stating SS couldn’t talk to Morgan because it was so loud inside and she couldn’t hear –
Of course I cannot comment on what Sara did or did not hear — however — I was able to speak to my son during that same break between bands at around 9:10 PM. At the time he was standing on the floor, up against the “gate” that separated the band from the audience — for what it’s worth : )
Does anyone know the names of Jamil Tucker’s siblings? I understand from his UVA bio that he has 2 older siblings. TIA
Yes, I do. That said, I dont think it’s appropriate to publish it

Alexandra #1561. There are multiple relatives we believe. Here is confirmation of one. Maggie was in the Halloween pics from a few weeks ago, in the sports bra and shorts chugging. Must make a daddy proud huh?

Snip:
Roanoke County Police Sgt. Jeff Herrick said he felt compelled to be there, taking a day off from work to help. “I just felt compelled that with two daughters of my own that like to go to concerts, the thought of something like this happening just boggles the mind.“
Sgt. Herrick’s daughter has been best friends with Morgan Harrington for more than ten years. His daughter is one of “the nine,“ a group of close friends who grew up with Morgan in Roanoke County.
Alex Harrington is a very handsome “young” man. Poor guy lost his sis, and he looks sad.
Hey, this may be common knowledge on this forum but it was news to me. The basketball team practices AT JPJA.
The Virginia men’s and women’s basketball programs each have one and a half private practice courts available for their use on the event level of the John Paul Jones Arena. The courts enable the teams and individual players to practice even when there are other events scheduled in the arena. Players have 24-hour, 365-day a year access to the courts. Both practice court complexes feature an in-house scoreboard, a video platform wired to the coaches offices and storage areas. The practice courts are located just off the locker rooms and down a flight of stairs from the coaches’ office complexes. Coaches can access the courts without entering public areas of the arena. An athletic training room staffed by professional personnel and featuring the latest in preventive and rehabilitative equipment is located between the two complexes and provides convenient and immediate medical support during practices. The men’s basketball practice court is named the Barry Parkhill Court in recognition of the many contributions to Virginia athletics made by the Cavaliers’ former basketball great.
Directions
John Paul Jones Arena (Massie Road, Charlottesville, Va.)

All this time I thought they practiced at UHall. Hmmmmm.
I don’t know how this factors, but this was the first “in season” 2 practices per NCAA rules.

blink: just a thought for us all to ponder.
could someone checkout if there were any takeout orders from ‘wild wing cafe’ on the night of the 17th? maybe Morgan’s scent, if it was indeed, picked up there…was due to the fact she was there, in or out of a car even for a second (a smoke)? maybe someone placed an order ‘to go’ after an activity they were at and since Morgan was locked out maybe she thought might as well take this ride, it will be ok.

suz: i was very tired when i posted about necklace. family issues. but blink’s picture and the one i saw is different than the one for sale on ebay. i was confused. prob, not modified, just different styles. meaning two links hanging as opposed to three links interlocking across. but i do remember “this is SIMILAR to the one Morgan may have been wearing”. which one should anyone be looking for???? check out the differences, for yourself and you will see what i mean.
also, skyler…i was wondering if anything over the last three months have jogged any new memories? btw, you have my greatest respect concerning your son. i will aspire to have the same relationship when my own two enter their concert years.
having computer problems again as my dog just caught cables behind desk
@ Elizabeth
Morgan first went missing Alex had a picture of Morgan on his Facebook page. Strange I thought because most Facebook people have their own picture there
_____________________________________________________________________
Many of Morgan’s friends and aquaintances posted pictures of Morgan as their profile pics. Some with pictures of just her or pictures of them with her. Alex is a young man that loves his sister very much, I am sure the pain was/is unimaginable. He was probably wanting to be as close to Morgan as he could, her bed maybe even still smelled like her. I imagine he is still in so much pain, that now to try to go back to “life as usual” is impossible but, he has bills to pay, a career, and a life to live. My heart really goes out to that family, but Alex is probably feeling the same emotions that his parents are, all the what ifs, did I, and whys but, he also probably has a hard time seeing his parents in so much pain. I am sure there is just a rollercoaster of emotions that I hope to never have to deal with.

“she said she was going to the bathroom and next thing you know she says she’s finding a ride home”
What else do you know?….ie what girl ever goes to the bathroom by herself? Usually it’s 2 or more going to the bathroom together.

“Alex Harrington is a very handsome “young” man. Poor guy lost his sis, and he looks sad.”
IMO, that new facebook photo from the link supplied Elizabeth is absolutely haunting. I do not know him at all, but I feel extreme concern for his well-being looking at this photo that he chose himself to present.

J2K; i agree with your statement.
“I don’t think SS and AM or even Dan were directly involved in her demise – but at this point I believe they inadvertently played a role in it.”
was it a fight that turned into a phone call to Morgan by one of the friends? possibly, friend said “hey, they have your purse…go out and get it and you will get back in or so and so is outside, he needs to see you.” a cruel joke. maybe this is what SS was saying in her interview when she said “if we had know, we wouldn’t of done IT.” what is IT? thus, we have bad behavior (halloween photo op), not because they specifically did anything to Morgan just treated her like crap, that night. they had no idea that she would come into harm’s way, by whomever, old boyfriend, friend or BG.
i was very harsh on them earlier. i will still hold to the fact, that they are underage and shouldn’t be condoned drinking alchohol. also, i will still not waiver in my personal experience, that grief does not behave this way but a guilty conscious might!
your post is a fascinating read…going to my basement to dig out my copy of GOF! joe the pug, is now in his kennel! he almost sent me outta my mind with the cables.
