Morgan Harrington Case: An Appeal To * You Know Who*

Charlottesville, VA–The disappearance of Morgan Harrington, missing since October 17, 2009 is exhibiting the potential to reach a temperature that is currenlty encompassing the Northeast: VERY COLD.
Through the thousands of posts at blinkoncrime.com and numerous articles covering Morgan, it is clear that frustration in the lack of lead generation and ambiguous statements from the Virginia State Police are causing some to lack conviction Morgan will be found.
In a recent press conference by VSP, LE provided NO NEW information or progress regarding Morgan’s case. In a shift of posture by the Harrington family, Dr. Harrington has begun participating in online chat and sponsored an additional facebook site to help the efforts to find his daughter.
In fact, for the first time in 2.5 months, we know what kind of camera Morgan had with her the evening of the Metallica concert from his research.
In contrast, we have viewed footage and photos of her dear friends that have clearly moved on without the knowledge of their friends plight.
Girls will be girls you say? Before one person comes on here to tell me I am being too critical of these young women you should know that due to a fortunate Facebook update, describing these girls as Morgan’s friends is entirely generous.
Furthermore, if you happen to be one of the parents that has provided booze for underage minors captured on digital for all to see you may wish to take a peek at what is on your daughter’s social sites.
Have you thought about what it would be like to be Gil or Dan while your linin’ it up and throwin’ em back WITH your kids?
Fortunately, this is not the focus today. I do not feel Morgan’s friends did anything to directly cause her fate. They are more “ME” than frienemy, that is evident.
Gil Harrington, posting on the families site findmorgan.com, wrote one of the most eloquent and courageous posts from the Mother of a missing child I have ever read.
The snowfall is beautiful but still disturbing – melancholy. Wonder if Morgan is cold – is snow falling on her face – or is her face covered by leaves in a shallow grave being hidden by the snow. I glance out the window and see the crimson blaze of a cardinal at the bird feeder – my heart leaps for a second at the beauty – then I think its feathers look like blood in the snow. Is that what Morgan’s blood looks like in the snow? See how the pitfalls are everywhere – even at the bird feeder.
In a somewhat angst-ridden moment, a poster on blinkoncrime.com suggested any and all witnesses in this case should be subject to repeated Barry Manilow songs until they confess.
It jogged a memory for me that reminded me that I am proudly my Father’s daughter. Morgan is Dan Harrington’s daughter.
Maybe someone, somewhere, has just not approached that perspective.
In response to the MAN-i-low dis-
Blink prefacing below to say: yes, off topic, and yes, I am on cold meds, but y’all went after the “MAN ilow”. < ?xml:namespace prefix ="" o />
Barry holds a special place in the heart of my family. When I was a kid I used to play dress up with my Mom’s clothes. If a pair of her way-too-big-for-me heels was “done”, she would let me cut off the ankle straps and dance around in them as slides.
One afternoon, when I should have been doing my homework, I was blaring Copa Cabana in my Parents study dressed like a thriftshop showgirl and when ” Who could ask for more…at the Copa” part came on, I kicked like a 12 year old Rockette and launched my “slide/RPG” into the ceiling.
There it stayed.
I threw everything I could find at that shoe to dislodge it. Nothing.
Except for the new marks on the scalloped ceiling.
Later, when unbeknownst to me, my Dad was reading his 12 daily newspapers in the study, I thought I might try another idea.
I jumped as hard as I could at the spot upstairs above where the slutslipper was lodged.
It worked on the 3rd try.
How do I know?
I heard a “S o n o f a …..” , then something that sounded like a combination of my first and middle names with a swear word interjected that was rising in tone and volume, and now coming my way.
As I hit the hallway to head to the other direction or squeeze myself unnaturally under something, there He was
My Dad, evidence in hand, smiling wryly form ear to ear.
“Yours I presume, young lady,” his forearm outstretched gently with the nail to my coffin in his palm.
I responded .. “What makes you say that?
Could be ketchup or mustards..”
(Lame editors note: do NOT ask, my sisters and I had bathing suits that matched when we were little that were red, yellow and white, respectively, it stuck to this day, I was Mayo)
He replied .. ” Because I know, this weekend, when you fish out your overalls and help me fix the ceiling before your Mother notices, you would rather do that than whatever she comes up with so we can be all done here. The End. ( Blink dad making the wipe hands clean gesture)
She has been talking about repainting the Family room for months, I would LOVE some help with that…”
“Yes Sir.” I muttered with a matching grimace.
“Can I have it back?” I asked.
“I would say your dancing days are on hold, dear daughter, for the foreseeable future, as are your TV privliges.”
“Anything else? ” I asked.
“Why yes, there is. If you choose to dance through the house with wreckless abandon, next time, do it when your homework is finished and in your tennis shoes. And can you please try to be more like your Mother and less like me?”
“Doubtfull Deets, doubtful.”
With that carefully measured tween rhetort I skipped down the hall, crisis averted and I am still Dad’s fave.
I can live with the painting. Wonder if I can pick the color??
I chose to share this very personal exchange with my Daddy because it dawned on me that maybe someone that reads this does not understand what Morgan’ s Father (and family, but this reference is strictly male) needs from them.
He was her protector. He is her ceiling fixer.
You have to give him back what you took so he can fix it for her and their family.
He does not care who you are or what you may have done.
You can do this for them now. Have faith that anything can be fixed. Anything.

dear kathy: i believe Mr. Shannon’s toy is available at your local gas station at the checkout counter. it is a cigarette lighter!

Mr. Shannon, although we love to hear from you in all your gangsta talk, i really do find it difficult to understand. can you just please speak in plain English? i just know that you can do it so please, thank you and with a cherry on top!
ya screwed up wen ya put my adress online ,,airborne ranger tactics are in place,,come on to th house and hav sum tea
ya screwed up wen ya put my adress online ,,airborne ranger tactics are in place,,come on to th house and hav sum tea
The pix on Shannon’s FB page — is that a real gun ? And when did he take that certain self-portrait? No, I’m serious — if he’s a convicted felon, he can’t own a guy or have one in his possession —
don’t know what the law is now, but I think it’s an automatic free pass to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200
Let me google this before I state it as fact — BRB
I got this on google:
Federal law prohibits any person who has ever been “convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year” to ever or for any reason “possess… any firearm or ammunition.” 18 U.S.C. 922(g) makes it a federal crime for any person who has ever been convicted of any felony to ever possess any firearm regardless if it is inside or outside of the home. This blanket federal ban on all felon gun possession is punishable with up to 10 years of imprisonment.
That paragraph states that even if he didn’t serve a year in prison, if he’s been convicted of a felony —
Do we get a prize if we turn him in ?

Oh, and here’s a tip in regard to your new FB profile pic -
Those lighters work a lot better if you take the child-proof feature off.
Wow, I have been steadily catching up with all the activity. You guys are unbelievable in what you have researched and how you can put so many pieces of this puzzle together. Keep up the good work. I hope it eventually pays off and helps bring Morgan home.

Thank you, I will let him know.

No, I think you have lots of child proof lighters, I imagine it can be very frustrating when all your interested in is lighting the flame and it just seems to come so easily for everyone but you. Who knows that about you ?
B
reecespieces, yeah, look at the barrel. Not only is it a little tiny opening, but it appears to have a flame coming out of it.
Cute, tho! My cig lighter looks like a mini western rifle.
blink,this aint over till they put me in my favorite dress of my Mom’s, which matches my knickers, and as you can see my propensity for women’s eyeware. It is not true about the feminine protection. I pack that for my ladies convenience.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Have you retained your coat check?

Hey Shannon, why did you say that you don’t know Morgan Harrington?
We just want to know.
Shannon, this is not going to “go away”
Uh I think you people should re-eval your own antics………………..it was all fun and games till someone looses ….big time. That is a gun a real one. You cant do anything to him because you went about this all wrong. As a matter of fact I cant believe it. There is nothing you can do no direct threat has been made? can you even date the photo? and if any thing Shannon could make a nice living on his defamation suite at this time off of this websites revenue. I’d seriously re-evaluate my steps. Blink your dad may have raised literate children, but he obviously never taught you when you shut up. That is an old hand gun. very old. And by the way criminals don’t register guns, therefore no permission is needed. DUH!
The need for people with an egregious lack of Law Enforcement Knowledge, or our connection to same, would be scintillating, if it were not embarassing for those that think otherwise.
B
yup, makes sense. if you pull out a gun that’s really a cig lighter, you’re gonna’ end up burning down an apt building.
mebbe you should stick to those gum dispensers that look like wii remotes. they’re safer for you! and the kids will still be impressed.

Your address was already online — google yourself —
that means look yourself up online — not something you do while you’re watching cartoons — : )
Mr. Shannon: have you ever had a pysch evaluation? i think that in all honesty, it would help you deal with whatever you are suppressing. the threats, the acting out, the speeding tickets, the operating uninspected vehicles, the giving false police reports, the bomb/burn threats, the trespassing, the lying, shall i go on?
it is very simple…if you had nothing to do with Morgan Harrington, then just shut up! this site is truly dedicated to Morgan and all those who want to help her and her family. if you have something that might help us all find Morgan then by all means say it!!! you will be the hero that you seem to be aspiring to become. fyi, you might want to stop with the gun play…Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior does not approve. or at least, take Jesus Daily, down from your facebook site.
thank you and i really do look forward to listening if you have something constructive to say. waiting……………….?
I meant to ask you about the Airborne Rangers being in place —
Does that mean you have your GI Joes outta the box ?
what a poser! cowboy up. big boy! tell us what you know. for once in your life, be a man… make your daddy proud…
so Shannon, impress us with how *brave* you are by telling what you know about Morgan’s disappearance. I for one don’t give a rat’s rear end about you, only what you know.

[Let me clarify, Wpgmouse. Should have read:

Sorry for the confusion. Turns out it’s neither. They are “new” friends.

Reply from Blink: I was wondering if Ms. Cole could tell us who that is in the photo then? And maybe why she said some not so nice things to Morgan on her facebook about being tired of defending her? I do believe she is the source of the man stealing accusation, no?
B
___________________
I, too, would be interested to know Erin’s answer to that, Blink.
As for the ‘man-stealing’ comment, I don’t believe Erin is the source. The writing style suggests an older person, however, I suppose she could conceivably be one of the other sources Shannon (at WS) tapped for the information (speculation). Also, note that Shannon has a join date of April 2008 and has 183 posts under her belt.

Anyway! Your inscrutable scare(?) tactic = Fail.
Oh yes, and as to your final thought:
“… That is an old hand gun. very old. And by the way criminals don’t register guns, therefore no permission is needed. DUH!”
By the way, smarterthanyallcombined, criminals with unregistered handguns usually keep that sh*t hidden. Ya boy just inadvertently offered Law Enforcement *permission* to search The House That Daddy Built for his illegal firearm collection; it’s called Probable Cause.
DUH.
hmmm, smartertthanyallcombined (let’s parse that, shall we? “smartert than yall combined”)…anyway, maybe smartert is dj flickabic’s dea cuzzz. or his vintage gun dealer.
or maybe he meant to write SweetTart…
I know we’re having fun w/ him — but seriously — what were the dates he said he was under house arrest ? He got a ticket on 11-09-09 — and he’s got charges not just in Montgomery, but also Roanoke, for Sept. 09
he’s got charges over the years — lots of motor vehicle charges — but also possession of marijuana, threats, brandishing a firearm, which was dismissed when they found out it was a cig lighter — ha
and he’s got charges in several jurisdictions —
hmmmmmmmmm
If someone sees a father so broken without his daughter, a father that just wants to hold his daughter one more time no matter what, and that someone knows how to reunite the father with his daughter but does nothing, says nothing, what does that make this someone?

“ya screwed up wen ya put my adress online ,,airborne ranger tactics are in place,,come on to th house and hav sum tea”
Does this moron know that he has myspace pictures showing the front of his house *online*? I didn’t look closely enough, but it might even have the house numbers in the photo! Is he aware that if you have a first and last name then your address is ONLINE under white pages?
aw, how cute, now djsparky is quoting gun-related snoop dogg lyrics from “Gz And Hustlas” over on that fb page.
SGM: I’m just curious…do you speak like that because you are uneducated or is it part of your “persona”? Are you trying to imply that you are hard and urban with the use of words such as “bustas”? ….Because to me you just look like a big fat good ol’ boy. Most people your age have matured beyond this stage, but perhaps you have developmental disorders. This would explain why you choose to surround yourself with people much younger than you, have had multiple run-ins with the law, work in a wing place and have delusions of being discovered by a producer. Why don’t you just be real with yourself and quit the act. People would take you much more seriously if they could understand what your saying. I’m not talking about here on the internet, I’m talking about the real world. Grow up and use complete sentences and stop trying to be something your not. It’s easy to spot a poseur from a mile away.

Comment by lakeluver — January 10, 2010 @ 7:30 pm:
[Oh Geez, (slapping my forehead) I’m getting all these initials mixed up.
WT and DW are not the same person but both work security. Sorry about the saw vs spoke post.
But if DW worked security that night and spoke with MH, why didn’t he come forward? Hmmmm, that’s what I was referring to when in an earlier post I stated that I believe MH was assured she could get back in the venue. She could have been told, “sure go outside I’ll get you back in”.
Hence the PO’d Morgan. If she made several attempts to get back in, perhaps he said something like “relax, I’ll get you where you want to go when my shift ends at 9:30. The BB players, friends of his, stall her and maybe even fudge with the time or report her HH’ing, because after all, their friend might get “lucky” tonight.]
___________________
Lakeluvr, DW did come forward right away.
Here are his posts on Facebook, from October 19th. I’ve posted the full conversation here before (on another Blink thread), so will just post partially now.
David Winston: i work at the arena, i spoke with morgan on sunday night. she said she was trying to find her friends. i’ve already spoken to the police about it. i’m so sorry i didn’t do more to help. i will pray for her and her family. October 19, 2009 at 11:23pm
David Winston: i spoke with her during the concert, around 10pm or so. she had exited the arena, i assume to look for her companions, and she was trying to get back in. but the arena has a no-reentry policy, so we had to turn her away. October 20, 2009 at 12:26am
David Winston: just to clarify, i didn’t see her exit; only when she tried to reenter. October 20, 2009 at 12:30am
David Winston: i don’t know what you mean. when an event ticket is scanned at entry, its bar code is then voided in the computer system. so we cannot allow someone who has exited the venue to reenter with a used ticket. October 20, 2009 at 12:57am
