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.

Image5435029x

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. 

AmymaggieIn 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

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.

Dan

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.

    “… As I’ve stated many times, if there is any hint a player or anyone else has any involvement in the disappearance then that person needs to be investigated right down to the number of hairs on his/her head. The players are innocent, the friends are innocent, paver guy is innocent, Mr. former EMT is innocent, HH is innocent, everyone is innocent until LE finds the evidence to bring charges, and that person is convicted in a court of law of whatever crime might have been committed…”

    ***re: white car, abandoned

    Dar,

    In the same time period of Cassandra Morton and Morgan, a woman went missing, I believe in her 40’s or so. She was last seen early in the morning, at a gas station/store, getting into her WHITE CAR heading for work. She never arrived at work. I think this was also in the Lynchburg area. Can’t remember her name – - something like Millie.

    Maybe your white car sighting should be reported.

    In the mean time, I will try to find the article (tried to find it a while back, but couldn’t). Had the make of car and her employer name.***

    wpjmouse, i just thought this car looked so out of place and no tracks to it. If you have any info you can send to me and a tip line I will definetly call it in. I was intent on looking “everywhere” I could for Morgan and the car was “just there”

    *** Suz,

    I would hope that LE *has* checked out WT. Because LE has not identified anyone, does not mean that they are not *watching* WT and others.

    WT is still front runner, as far as I’m concerned. He seems to meet the criteria.

  10. wpgmouse says:

    WT’s youtube video is horrendously disturbing, IMO.
    A predator stalking, luring, trapping, chasing and capturing his prey.
    At the 1:48 mark in this video there is a building/house in the upper right. Josh Stilson has the answer to the end credit location,
    “FILMED ON LOCATION NEAR WAYNE’S HOUSE”
    http://www.youtube.com/user/TwiztedMethodz#p/f

    Another “movie”, this one with Marvin B. and WT behind the camera talking/narrating.
    Also fimed “Near Wayne’s House”.
    http://www.youtube.com/user/TwiztedMethodz#p/u/0/W3rpDJNWRkw

    It’s a very sad thing to see the Rescue Group that WT is with brought into this. He should be announcing his innocence out of respect for this organization. Instead, he allows suspicion to grow around him, and is actually contributing to it. Bob Townsend’s FB is down, perhaps as a result.

    Another sad situation, the Steve Morris family of Ruckersville lost their home to a fire early yesterday morning.

    Ryan’s post is interesting indeed, good sleuthing, but in WT’s defense, I wouldn’t necessarily spill my guts to some web stranger asking pointed questions. WT’s hinky meter prolly went off on that one, so it’s hard to know if it’s meaningful. But again, cool job by Ryan. You have to believe that WT was top of the POI list for LE at some point, if he ain’t still.

    Concerned Mom, yep, you could still be right that the campus police lady could have been fumbling for an answer in an effort to cover for something, but my first reflex is to think about the way gov’t/public svc. works, and I think about 3 day weekends where junior employees are covering for more experienced employees who are off, or employees who ask themselves (and this is of course not anything directed at you at all) “who is this lunatic calling me asking these questions?”

    It’s so hard to tell. Impossible really. And the subject matter is so serious to us, very innocent things can take on a sinister tone. I’m just sayin’…might well be something….might well be nothing. Best to keep an open mind.

  12. sue says:

    Wayne fits for me in that I strongly believe LE had their suspect from early on, and he DID attend the concert, saw Morgan there etc…

    However, I am having difficulty with the fact that he ,(if guilty) drew so much unnecessary attention to himself with the Facebook page.

    Of course, anything is possible, but WTH? I just don’t know about that. If he is guilty, then he gets the ‘moron perp with brass ones’ of the year award.

    WT is most likely a member of 4chan. That is where PedoBear,Rickrolling and other memes have originated from. They get there kicks by causing havoc on the internet. His videos, links to PEdoBear are all part of the joke. The fact that everyone is disgusted,outraged and scared of what he has posted on the internet IS the joke.

I don’t know if its anything or not, The car just didn’t fit the area it was in. Weird tho, if I saw it from the high way I am sure zillions have seen it……but I am gonna call the tip line, see what happens

    1455 Mouse, I didn’t catch the bottom credits of the youtube film about where it was filmed. Near Wayne’s House. Sure would be nice to take a look around this place, but I ain’t going up there. I wouldn’t even drive down the road he lives on. I have confidence that our LE knows how to handle those boys.

    Re: Comment by mosaic — January 17, 2010 @ 4:14 pm
    Kathy, I looked on WT’s Facebook and he is not “friends” with P-bear or any of P-bear’s aliases. Do you remember how you went from one to the other? I truly do not think they are connected, nor do I think the handle-bar mustachioed guy in the profile picture is Pickles. I do however think this is a deeply disturbed person.

    Mosaic, I was following your posts and could have swore it linked from WT, I apologize for that serious error. I’m still not convinced that the profile pic isn’t pickles though.

  18. Momof3 says:

    Most kid’s between the ages of 17 and 24 know about the site I mentioned in my earlier post, and its notorious forum. It is full of sick- twisted -morbid jokes, internet trolls, and possible viruses.

    If WT is linking to PedoBear he is most likely a member of this group.
    If he is, this could all be a ruse to see how much havoc he can create on the WWW and beyond. Does anyone remember the big youtube conspiracy that took place with people trying to bring down Scientology with weird youtube videos that had been hacked? This was 4chan’s creation.

    Be careful, guys. I think you are all falling for a huge BAD joke.

  19. fish says:

    wow! somebody, anybody did this just happen to me? i was on twizted whathisname site and it just shut down and marked private. i was watching metallica.

    this is what it said specifically:

    You are unable to view the playlist because it is marked private.

    i was in watching and looking at playlist! is this a glitch????

  20. suz says:

    wpgmouse, interesting videos. I see ol’ WT is ahead of his time (or right on time) with the werewolf theme, and maybe a little late for a sequel to the Blair Witch project (tho that’s a cool old house, I must say). I dunno, these films are old and prolly irrelevant. Seems like a guy trying to start a viral video.

    And with all due respect, i guess we should note that technically WT didn’t bring his rescue group into it, WE did, didn’t we? And since one can’t really prove their innocence, which is why our good old U.S. system makes someone else try to prove your guilt, rather than making you try to prove a negative, I’m not sure what would satisfy us in terms of WT and if he’s the perp.

    He was one of my main POIs when I was all fired up about the missing cell phone battery, thinking that some ping-knowledgeable person did it on purpose. I still hold that theory in reserve, but mostly I’m thinking the purse wasn’t planted so much as left behind for whatever reason, and the missing battery is somehow innocent, tho strange to me.

  21. fish says:

    please i am not reading upthread. so i apolly if you are already there. this is just too weird for me. i wanted to see all the playlists. i have it paused on the metallica song, One (not sure name?) is this taken from a WT video? or strangeleaf73? i am trying to see the perspective in relation to the stage. could this be near Morgan’s seats? what time did this play?

    sky, you there?

    this may be nothing just a glitch. just unbelieveable that it happened while i was watching. around 9:10 swiched to private.

    strange!!

    “However, I am having difficulty with the fact that he ,(if guilty) drew so much unnecessary attention to himself with the Facebook page.”

    Well, WT does like to “direct” things. Possibly this is a way to be in control somehow, I don’t know. Possibly he’s bringing the attention on to himself to keep it off someone else. Again, I don’t know. If he established the FB out of the goodness of his heart, for a girl he never met, well then I guess I would call him a complicated guy.
    Just curious, has anyone heard of WT organizing any searches, or doing any searches on his own? Yeah, setting up the FB was great, but if he felt so strongly to do that for a missing Morgan, I’m not aware of him actually “looking” for her. He appears to have some skills that would allow him to do that as well as some connections. Maybe someone could offer something on that.

  23. Ryan says:

    Why would Wayne speak to stranger? let me answer that for you…

    When i became friends with him, i had alota info about him so i played on that i knew him from being one of es friends friends… after i got as much info from facebooks accounts of all hes friends walls too, i took pictures of everything becuase alot of there wall posts was suspicious, i then decided after i found everything i would initiate a chat with wayne, wayne fraked out at how i knew hes friend marvin and acted like i was there and see them, i did this so that he wouldnt dare to lie and tell me bunch of lies becuase if i did realy goto concert and i did see somthing and he then lied, it would make me the eye witness very suspicious, so what im saying is that chat is very handy. Its Real.

  24. Heidi says:

    “our boy WT is no longer an EMT — something he previously had taken great pride in — do we know if he were let go “quietly” — another of his FB friends has the same last name, and his pix is standing in front of a white resuce vehicle –” This came of comment #1397, posted by Skyler on this site.

    This is what I was asking for a source. Or is it gossip? I’m sorry, but it does seem to me that there is a lot of info on here that is actually just theories/ guesses/ here-say. I do not know WT, but he is on my FB friends list because I requested him after messaging him about trolls on that site. When the benefit was originally scheduled, I had asked him for his phone number because I wanted to be sure to meet him because I admire his dedication & all he is doing to try to help find Morgan. I called him last night, from the benefit, to see if he was there. He answered, and I could hear all kinds of clatter in the background that sounded like he was at a fire station. He said he was called into work, and that he felt bad he wasn’t able to make it.

    Post 1370: I don’t understand, rather I think the poster misunderstood WT’s answer – all in the wording. I understand it to read that Josh and WT rode home together- separate from Marv.

    I’ve gone to many many concerts. Sometimes I left early.

    My son, now 19, always wanted those video games or whatever they are. I wouldn’t allow it. He never had X-box or any of those other things. I thought/think they are too violent. However; I think he was the only kid his age not allowed to play those horrible violent games. I guess it’s today’s “norm”.

    My daughter, now 18, has written some “disturbing” type short stories. She wants to be a writer. Maybe if we had a camcorder, she would have acted out and video taped some of her creative aspirations. She’s also a straight A student & has served on mission trips in Nicaragua, & is an all around wonderful Human Being. She’s being honored in DC next week for some of the volunteer work she has done with her college. Has anyone seen “Paranormal Activity”? Pretty disturbing, huh? I think the writers/ directors will win some awards for it… not be accused of a crime.

    Post 1385: “darker complexion”.. I don’t get it… is everyone with a “darker complexion” also a suspect? This strikes a bad chord with me.

    I forgot the post number to reference this to, but somewhere here, there is a post questioning HFMDH adding administrators. I could address that. HFMDH was having quite the problem with trolls, this is around the time I contacted WT, as well as several others (contacting him), and he decided to add more admins because he can’t constantly monitor the site. The admin from France had been a regular poster & I don’t know if she was asked, or volunteered; but I do know it was decided she would be great not only because of her level headedness and compassion, but because of the time difference, that she would be able to monitor the site while most people on this side of the pond are sleeping.

    I’m sure I’ve left a lot off of this very long post that I wanted to say, but basically my “hink-o-meter” has not gone off and I just took it in for a check-up.

    Oh, the music references- wouldn’t that make every single person that likes heavy metal a suspect? Anyone here from my era? Remember people blaming the Beatles for the Manson crimes?

    I think it’s a shame if WT missed the benefit because off all the gossip going on about him. I think it’s terrible that his home address & work schedule have been posted. Seems to me like a gross invasion of privacy. Yes, it may be public information anyway, but it seems to me like a witch trial. This is the exact reason why a lot of people do not want to get involved with things like this – they put themselves unwittingly in the spotlight & are subjected to scrutiny- which I have no doubt LE has done.

    Maybe I’m being naive, I just don’t see anything factual that would make him a POI.

  25. suz says:

    roageo, I think—esp. since the FBI is or was involved in some way, shape, or form, according to news reports anyway—the cast of characters on our radar screen are on theirs bigtime. I think about how quickly that (guilty) dude became a POI in the Annie Le murder (Yale student murdered before her wedding), or how fast the Craig’s List murderer/weirdo was apprehended, and I wonder, as here we are on month 3, what is the deal? Makes me worry that everything known is a dead end.

    If you were trying to impress your internet buddies and become one of the baddest of the bad, The notorious 4chan, what could possibly get you more admiration than if you perpetrated the biggest- twisted- joke on internet sleuths and bloggers everywhere?

  27. fish says:

    i think that there are an awful lot of cell phones being used at this concert.
    you mean to tell me that there are no photos? hooey!!
    there are photos.
    i think that somebody saw Morgan and “hoodwinked” her out due to her injury, even if it was slight and not that bad. hooey!!
    he ran her around those lots. maybe she was trying to get away and in her inebriated state, she was scared!
    she did try to get back into arena. i would believe something else if she did not even attempt to get back in but she did!!
    that is not hooey!!!!!!!

    maybe she looked irrational and nobody at JPJA was going to risk their jobs esp. at this time, helping her or letting her back in. how did she get into the arena if she was so out of it?

    i am back to questioning the entire day’s events! i am also perplexed about “twizted methodz” and is it marked private for everyone or is it my own personal glitch?

    BTW!
    maybe gramma is not so far-fetched!

    Ryan – re: London Calling (#1370)

    Thanks for joining us, and kudos on the screen-grabs/WT chat.
    WT’s answers to “Jenna’s” questions form his statement, essentially, on his whereabouts that evening, and those of JS – who is only FB friends with WT and MB (if that even means anything). It also seems he was particularly psyched about Lamb of God.

    WT makes clear that everyone went home – in two separate groups – from the concert: WS, MB, SO (whom WT and JS met up with before arriving at the arena) and JC; then there was WT and JS in another vehicle. Insider concert info from slyler indicates that the crowd was thick and dancing, so it would have been easy to separate from one’s group – even if just heading to get a beer – and not be able to find them again until after the show. Which is what, it appears, the four dudes with WT and JS thought had happened until they never resurfaced post-show (thus, the “wtf” comment).

    Something is not adding up here (which is no reflection of wrongdoing, but deserves to be pointed out). WS’s comment to WT the day after the show (“wtf. did you walk back to your car?”), and WT’s response (“Yeah I don’t know what happened. One second I was chillin with Marv, next second he was gone. Didn’t see the missed calls till I got home.”) seem more off when one considers they all arrived together, and others in the group thought they’d leave together. But, WT noted on the FindMorgan FB he left the show early, possibly around 10 p.m. (Ryan – do you have the screen-grab from this? I never saw it.) This appears to be something else that WT’s friends at the show were not aware of. Why would WT not text them upon leaving or soon-after, so they’re not looking/waiting for him and JS to head to the cars after the concert?

    So moving backward in order to move ahead: If they had met up with the three other friends before the show, then they would have followed one another into a parking area, which begs the question: where?

    I’m submitting (out of sheer deduction) that it was the Emmet Ivy Garage – where those without exclusive (sold-out) JPJ-lot passes were directed to park for the event. In addition to the fact that the majority of concert goers probably parked there, they were all coming from Ruby Tuesdays, down Emmet Street from the parking garage. Going with that assumption, the two groups parked their cars together in the garage and walked to the arena.

    When WT and JS walked back to their car, there were two ways they could have gone. One of them would be to turn right onto Massie from the JPJ and right on Emmet straight to the garage.
    The other way may have taken slightly longer on-foot, but it passes by a 7-11 if smokes or a beverage were needed (there is nothing commercial the first way). This approx 15-minute walk, of course, retraces MH’s steps, as they would have headed through the UHall lot onto Copeley and (stopped at 7-11) before turning left on Ivy toward the garage.

    It’s possible that, after seeing Lamb of God (the band they went to see, imo), before/soon after Metalica started, they thought it’s be a good time to toke in the lot and weren’t actually planning on leaving – after all, WT knew he could get them back inside because he knows the security guys working the doors from his previous employment there.
    Once outside, perhaps they decided to blow it off entirely for some reason.

    To Debbie re: the jeep sighting

    I believe it was my post #1201 you are referring to so I feel somewhat responsible. Please don’t feel insulted by Blink’s response. She runs a great board here and is very conscientious about allowing only confirmed info into the discussions. If this jeep sighting is true then I’m glad that there’s a description of the vehicle after all, because it made no sense to me that there wasn’t. My post came off a little strong due to a bad day at work. I hope you will stick around. I’m in awe of the brainwork here. Frankly, I don’t feel worthy because all I do is ask a few stupid questions once in awhile. ;)

    LET ME CLEAR THIS UP.

    I HAVE THE SOURCE OF THE JEEP INFO. IT CAME DIRECTLY FROM A “DREAM” QUESTIONER HAD.

    NO ACTUAL SIGHTING. NO VERIFICATION. COMPLETELY OFFERED BY QUESTIONER AS PER KENNY.

    suz – (re: #1458) said,
    “In WT’s defense, I wouldn’t necessarily spill my guts to some web stranger asking pointed questions. WT’s hinky meter prolly went off on that one, so it’s hard to know if it’s meaningful. … You have to believe that WT was top of the POI list for LE at some point, if he ain’t still.”

    I agree on both counts – hard to tell if everything that’s been presented here about him, seen together and compounded by subliminal group-think about his Hink, is casting him in a more suspicious light than he deserves. I’m surprised, actually, that we have not seen WT surface on this thread yet – one would think BOC would be on his radar.
    I too am sure that LE looked into WT, as he was at the show and there was a flurry of tips into LE about him in November.
    Regardless of who is a potential POI/actual POI, without a body LE’s gonna have a hard time gathering enough evidence to arrest anyone.

    suz, you also addressed Concerned Mom’s, well, *concern* with the seemingly odd hold-delay she experienced upon calling the UVAPD about crime on campus. I agree with you/advise CM that there was likely nothing more going on then the receptionist/clerk taking her time going to a superior and conveying your question/concern, eventually returning to you with the official response. No one other than department heads would be able to speak off-the-cuff to a constituent demanding answers to a serious concern, and they’re not always the easiest to pin down.

    I agree with Sue. Why would the person who is responsible for the disappearance of Morgan start a Facebook page specifically focused on locating her?

  32. Momof3 says:

    Okay, I apologize, to Mr. WT.
    I too have been reading from the bottom up instead of the top down… Big mistake, as it turns out, because that prevented me from seeing the originator of pedobear.

    WT is not connected to the PedoBear page nor is he connected to the FAKE Morgan page. If I am right. Than he most likely isn’t a member of 4chan forum ect.

    Although, everyone should still be careful when clicking on those links,Mr WT probably has nothing to do with it. Also, I think everyone should not read too much into his videos. As there are many people out there trying to be the next Tom Savini or Dario Argento.

    I just HAVE to post this description the WT wrote about his film, “The Haunting” which was made less than a year ago.

    Hinky-meter is to da MAX.

    Video: “The Haunted” From: TwiztedMethodz | April 10, 2008
    http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=TwiztedMethodz#p/u/0/W3rpDJNWRkw

    Two film students disappear after they investigate the site of a brutal murder. Once again with my crappy 100 dollar video camera. My buddy Marvin and I wanted to check out this creepy house that sits in the middle of 20 acres surrounded by his suburban neighborhood. It was a really nasty, cloudy, grungy Fall day so it worked out nicely for our mock-attempted at creating a Blair Witch style movie. Anyway, enjoy…or not.

    Note: Someone will want to make sure to note “this creepy house that sits in the middle of 20 acres surrounded by his (Marvin B’s) suburban neighborhood.” as well as the lake and building on WT’s family property in the Greene Co area if continued official searching is called for.

    Dar,

    Oh, I’m so glad you found the article. The Lynchburg connection just leaped out to me when it was published. I expected Millicent’s plight to join in the media coverage at that time, but it never did. This missing woman just seemed to have got left behind at the time, so I tried to find the article again so many times but failed. Good for you, Dar.

    “Mouse, I didn’t catch the bottom credits of the youtube film about where it was filmed. Near Wayne’s House. Sure would be nice to take a look around this place, but I ain’t going up there. I wouldn’t even drive down the road he lives on. I have confidence that our LE knows how to handle those boys.”

    No actual locations were given for either video. Wherever they are or if you have an idea, DON’T YOU GO THERE!

    Well, I got good chuckle out the Shakespearean type comedy going on about a *dream* of a jeep. Seems like I recall someone else, very early on, had mentioned their dream of a jeep…Not that it’s necessarily relevant. Perhaps, Q’s getting a little low on material and needing to ‘borrow’ a dream? Sounding more like the late night show….A bit humor there.

    I don’t mind people referring to a dream thought, I do mind when that dream just happens to coincide with the fact that one SGM owns a “jeepzilla” and that is their version of a suspect and then someone presents it as a fact.

    Blink,

    I’m sorry I haven’t before, but I would like to compliment eveyone here on the incredible sleuthing job they do. Also, I feel for the Harrington’s.
    I have never experienced an unexplained loss, and hope I never have to.

    My thoughts & prayers are with “y’all”!

    Blink, I’ve tried to pay close attention to your posts. Were Morgan & WT ever involved, romantically?

    TIA

    Not to my knowledge, no.

    mosiac: you ask why would the person who is reponsible for the disappearance of Morgan start a facebook page specifically focused on loacting her? well, i kinda believe that answer is the same one as why a firefighter would start a fire and then be the responder. this has happen in our great country. i will look for examples, online.

    not saying mr. townsend has done this but as we have nothing this could be something. no stone unturned. i hope that this is definitely not the case here but while i am on his subject…he really shouldn’t swear like that during his filming, (oh wait, he’s acting. my bad) i find it amazing that he then can stand with a group of school children by his rig, take off his horror director cap and put on his e.m.t. cap! don’t get me wrong iv’e been known to drop a few fbombs in my day. more than a few, i could give him a run for his money but i’m also not starring in a horror-short then posting with the likes of “chainsaw something”. yikes, both love LOG. what’s up with this band?

    did anyone else have problems with “twiztedmetho” site?

    welcome, ryan. look forward to all you have to offer. what section was mr. townsend’s ticket in again? can’t see it in picture. do you happen to know?

  39. Elizabeth says:

    The other day I was coming home and was stopped at a light. I looked up and there was a young woman crossing the street. She was holding a long thin stick with white on the bottom. I think that means she is partially blind. Would you believe somebody honked at her..to hurry.
    My point being. In this case of the beautiful, missing Morgan don’t you sometimes feel like we are all blindfolded. With the little information given to us are we walking in all directions and some are honking at us to hurry?

  40. roageo says:

    Heidi, respectfully, someone is responsible for the disappearance of Morgan. That someone is going to be someone else’s friend, son, father, nice guy. Regardless of how any of us feel personally about someone, if the clues tend to lean in a certain direction, it would be foolish not to explore that possibility. Certainly anyone involved with Morgan directly or indirectly will become suspect. That is the how solving crime works. And, I think you know that.

    A lot of ‘respected’ people have secretly committed crimes which surprised their community, their church, their family and friends.

    Even if someone does fit the profile criteria of the abductor, it does not necessarily make him guilty. But, until the guilty person is caught, then he cannot be ruled out, either.

    The group of people who attending the concert the name higher in list are more suspicious and marked with “*”:

    maybe one of these stayed behind and took the video and posted it. Morgan and company section and their section? how close and does only one dude go for beer?

    *** mosaic,

    You asked, “Why would the person who is responsible for the disappearance of Morgan start a Facebook page specifically focused on locating her?”

    *********************

    Attention…..they’re seeking attention.

    It’s not uncommon for the perp to be in the search party and to be interviewed by the news. That gives them a sense of control. They quite often can be found in the crowd of an event held for the victim and even attending the funeral.

    The eager ‘helper’ after a tragedy may fool us, the lay people, but, they don’t fool the LE.

  43. lizzy says:

    1. There were some comments regarding Morgan being “combative” before the concert. Does anyone know the source of those comments? I haven’t been able to trace them to their roots.

    2. Who reported that she was crying in the smoking area? Can’t find the original source on that one either.

    TIA

    I agree with Sue. Why would the person who is responsible for the disappearance of Morgan start a Facebook page specifically focused on locating her?

    I don’t find this odd necessarily. It’s a great way to paint yourself as a concerned citizen. The ol’ bait and switch.

  45. Concerned Mom says:

    Dr. Harrington posted a youtube video on FB of a song someone wrote about Morgan. Here is the link. God bless you, Dr. Harrington, and your family.

  46. mosaic says:

    I hear you (all of you’s!) about why the perp would aid in the search of his own victim. But I don’t know, [deep sigh] I think we’re barking up the wrong tree here, just my feeling.

    Recall what we heard from LE at the end of December. They advised us to be alert for someone whose behavior had changed since October 17, someone who may be avoiding the subject of Morgan Harrington. For me, this points in a different direction.

    It does not fit my profile either, but I do think it needs to be checked out.

  47. Heidi says:

    Regarding post #1487. Yes, Roageo, of course “someone” is responsible. That doesn’t justify a witch hunt. All i’m saying is that for as much talk is on here where WT is mentioned by name, I don’t see one single fact that would make him a POI. All I see is a lot of speculation and gossip.

    In our wonderful country, EVERYONE is SUPPOSED to be considered “INNOCENT til PROVEN guilty”. It appears many people here have already tied the noose to the tree and are waiting at the town square.

    Thank God we have TRAINED Law Enforcement officials that are looking at and analyzing the FACTS. Like post # 1475 says, the FBI is involved (as well as is VSP) & I have no doubt that ANYONE that has/is a POI will be fully scrutinized BY THEM. As for me, I will leave it to them and will be stepping back off these sites that, unfortunately imo, I see as having become counter-productive.

    As well intentioned as people may be, false accusations can ruin a persons life.

    Heidi- please point out a single accusation made against WT on here.
    This gentleman and associates started a facebook for a missing woman, who by his own postings, was in contact with Morgan that night. I have said this a billion times, if people do not want others commenting on their “e” lives, perhaps they should not promote it.

    Hey, Word — you asked >>Comment by Word Girl — January 17, 2010 @ 7:28 pm
    Oh, Mary, I missed quothed you! Sry. Even funnier to address the suz, j2k exchanges. Cousins! Word.

    Skyler,
    What would the motive be for your #1? <<<

    I’m still trying to figure out what the motive would be for Jeffrey Dahlmer (sp) to kill people and then eat them — blech !!!

    And I am about to make what may appear to be an incredible statement — but please know I have my reasons –

    I am w/holding further personal comment on WT until I get a little more information — I think you and J2K make good points — while I certainly don’t share his taste in music or fun, from what I could understand of Ryan’s interview w/ him, he stayed inside the concert the entire night —

    going back to Oct and early Nov., my personal initial feeling — not psychic impression, just thoughts — was that Morgan was inside the arena, but had a specific agenda in mind and was going to meet someone she knew and had arranged to meet beforehand —

    someone upthread said that LE had to be aware of him and for whatever reason cleared him — as well as cleared her purse and the missing phone battery as not relevant to her disappearance —

    I personally have made the statement that I’ve lost faith in LE — I am willing to back peddle on that (a little) to state — maybe there is a lot going on behind the scenes that I am not aware of – or the public is not aware of —

    It’s something I often forget to do — because, just like all of you, I want this girl found — if she is alive, I want her to at least make contact w/ her family, or if Morgan is no longer w/ us, I want her found so her parents and family — and us — can give her a proper good-bye –

    I think it’s imperative for me to remember and keep at the forefront of my mind, that LE’s goal in this matter is successful arrest and prosecution “if” a crime has been committed; that they may have a POI but they’re still waiting for forensic evidence or other evidence. I think real life is not like CSI where they get the forensics back in 10 minutes : )

    So I’m stepping back from WT — just for the time being — and trying to look at all the facts — which ain’t many –

    One last thought on why I’m backing off on WT — for now — I worked on this one case for a year — it was horrendous and absolutely heart wrenching — it involved the death of a little boy on his way to his first day of first grade in a new area — I was working 16-hr days and I found myself buying — confession time — Star magazine — the tabloid — I didn’t really read the stories — I’d look at what the ‘stars” were wearing and work on the huge crossword puzzle at the back — it was mindless — I didn’t have to think about anything — it was just a means I used to turn my brain off to try to get some sleep —

    maybe that’s what WT does — his regular job is difficult and if he is still an EMT — responding to car accidents or other life-threatening situations can be difficult — and you have to turn off your emotions in order to do the job at hand — maybe he uses video games and making movies as a way to do that —

    IDK —

    PS: Chad, I laughed about your response to my “tapeworm” story — what I was trying to say w/ that awful, gross story was: I told the vet to do whatever needed to be done, just don’t tell me about it and don’t make me participate in taking care of it —

    Maybe that’s what Dr. H was stating to us — I know these things have to be examined, but don’t tell me about it and please understand when I can’t participate in the discussion —

    his suggestion to Q to post her info on this board made me feel that he evaluated our hearts and our reasons and trusts us to help find Morgan.

    “Peace out: — as my kid says — to all your wonderful wonderful people

  49. lizzy says:

    OK; if we can share dreams, the ONLY one that I have had about this case, I have had dozens of times since I first read of it. I dream about a thin male (or very small-busted female?) wearing Morgan’s Pantera t-shirt and dancing alone. Then putting on a jacket over it, and going out and about. Why did I start dreaming about the shirt of this girl I never met, with the logo of a band to which I never listened? Totally not helpful, but why I feel compelled to log in here almost every day.

    Basically, as distasteful as SGM is, her t-shirt would never fit him, so I can’t take him seriously as a suspect. Some of the others, maybe. Ridiculous, I know. Sigh. (Almost as ridiculous as the work I’ve gotten so far behind on because of this dang dream.)

    RE: Comment by wpgmouse — January 18, 2010 @ 12:16 am

    Boy mouse I hope Morgans tip line is alot easier then what I just went thru to report that car. I called the number on the news article, they had no clue about anything I said. She gave me a number to Fairfield so I called there, they had no clue what I was talking about so they connected me to Virginia Highway Patrol who then connected me to Virginia State police who then connected me to West Virginia Police who could not hear me so they hung up…..I told each one about the car but was transferred on so…alls I can say is I tried.
