Abemarle County, VA– On the 100 acre parcel of the over 700 acre farm owned by Nancy and David Bass where Morgan Harrington’s remains were recovered yesterday, there may be clues of the furry variety that lead to the identity of Morgan’s murderer.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a source inside the investigation has told blinkoncrime.com that questions raised here regarding private deer hunting on the farm have been verified by Virginia State Police.
Anchorage Farm owners do allow some private hunting members and maintains a list of those individuals permitted to do so.
From the time Morgan disappeared and presumably ended up in the hayfield, both archery and firearm deer seasons were in full swing.
Big Brother, or in this case Uncle Buck, was watching.
Blink, what is that ugly azz thing you say?
It might be sweet Morgan’s Ruth Cooper.
The Cuddeback Scouting Camera with Video and Infared technologies from Cabelas. This is one example of tree trunk and tree stand cutting edge technology that is motion activated with high resolution images on several settings.
Not to be outdone: The Moultrie Game Spy, which you can use to watch your prey like a surveillance screen in real time.
This is another example of the varieties that were in place the night of October 17th.
Morgan was found in a field, almost smack dab in the middle of surrounding tree line’s loaded with tree stands and tree cameras.
She was found without her camera and necklace; both of which have not been located to date.
VSP has been provided the list of known hunters at Anchorage Farm, and are in the process of interviewing them.
If you have hunted the property this season, VSP would appreciate a call:(434) 352-3467

re: post 294 cooper
Dear Cooper and Blink,
You do not need an ATV to drive through that type of terrain; regular old pick-up trucks do it all the time, with low beams on at night. In fact the county has a problem with hunters who “spotlight” deer. Sit in the dark in their trucks then high beam the deers and shoot.

Incredibly, it’s pretty hard to hear a pick-up truck driving in a field.
Dominion Power does it every month here (to read the meters) and I am always surprised to see the truck driving along our hill…I never hear it.
lol, I came across that article yesterday. I agree
B
Blink, IMO he very well could have a personal connection to Morgan. If there is a personal connection to Morgan AND a connection to the property adjoining the farm…we should see an arrest very soon.
There could be little doubt that we had our man. Of course there are many types of connections, from a past relationship to a mutual friend. Morgan was so very beautiful that someone could simply want her near in order to re-live what he had done and monitor the crime scene. There is also the sad possibility that there is pathology involved such as BTK Killer and Green River. As I’m sure you know in both of those cases the killers visited the bodies in order to “inter-act” with them for as long as possible.
My biggest hope is that he did visit the body as only he knows the path and the more it was traveled the more clear the evidence will be.
Time for this old geyser to go to bed…lol…I’ve enjoyed the discussion and will check back tomorrow. I feel soon now they will know who did this.
Good night all.
plumbers drive vans dont they? is he really a plumber?i find it very possible she was murdered on campus and never was gonna ride with a stranger anywhere,but this going fast,i have have lots of different little ideas.
blink #295,the green river killer said he started disposing elsewhere so he wouldnt be tempted to go back and visit.
Addition to my post #296
I forgot to mention that one is in the minority in Albemarle and the surrounding counties, if you drive a regular sedan car. SUV’s, 4×4′s, pick-up trucks, etc. are in the great majority. Let me tell you…who knew Lexus and Mercedes made SUV’s! Lot’s of em’ too!!
Lakeluver made an excellent point that the farm would have been very dark on the evening of Oct 17 since it was a new moon, and overcast. Pitch black.
There would have been very little ambient light if any. (Visualize your own backyard on a dark night even with the lights shining from your home.) I find it hard to believe that Morgan walked or was led to that location. It would be more like stumbling blindly around with arms out in front, tripping on branches, etc. Even if the person knows the terrain well. Even if carrying a flashlight.
I agree with Cooper that it might seem more likely that she was not alive when she arrived at the farm and was possibly brought in on an ATV or similar vehicle. This would give him the benefit of headlights so he could see where he was going. But it would require someone who is very familiar with the landscape/ins-and-outs of the farm.
J2K—they’ve been Dudes of Interest to me too. You’re scenario makes complete sense to me.
Hi All:
Alrighty then, we can just sit back, relax, and know that these are just normal events that take place everyday after a body has been found of a murdered young woman that has been missing for 100 days.
Thanks Red HIl.
By the way, I do have a full time job, and am a mother, wife, run my dog 2 miles a day, and my father just had surgery, which, to this moment, he is not doing so well with infection setting in, and his hear is not strong. I have so much spare time!
Also, I am VERY engaged in my community in volunteer work.
Red Hill: you know what, you are right, I have so much spare time on my hands that my speculations are wild.
I believe at least one of these events are related to MORGAN. Too close incidences are related.
What did I miss? O please, I cant take it-
Red Hill is a good guy. Chad is our fave chad. Agreeing is not a prerequisite, I did not see any disrespect, only demure.
And I will pray for your Daddy tonight.
B
Ok, so do we agree or have we confirmed that this was a definite murder by trauma, and not an accident or OD in which someone panicked and hid the body because of the legal implications of partaking in illegal activities?
Blink stated this was a murder case. This means the person physically used his own self and actions to inflict harm upon her, correct?
I dont think you can use that definition. I am suggesting in some degree, or level of culpability, someone caused Morgan’s death. Yes.
B
clementine,
I don’t know which type of cheese, they’re all starting to look the same to me . . .
Having said that, sometimes I do think we have been on the same wavelength.
Red Hill local -
Thank you for your sensible, knowledge-based, objective logic. If the goal is to determine what happened to MH that night and who’s responsible, it is often hard to elevate oneself above the few and far-between pieces that we – the general public/part-time sleuths – have garnered, in regard to the reality of the situation MH entered on Oct. 17.
The intricate, circumstantial puzzle LE is configuring looks a lot differnt than the few, large, rounded pieces we have in front of us – of that, I am sure. It’s useful, even noble – but often silly and hubristic – to assume that we can craft the final picture of what occurred, and at whose hands, based on the limited knowledge and myriad assumptions we, the public, have at-hand.
And I note this with the utmost respect to those who contribute here, and whom have educated and inspired me in so many ways.
True crime (lest it happens within the family) – particularly, baseless, opportunistic psychosis/passion-driven rape/manslaughter/murder – occurs most frequently without an intricate plot involved. In fact, these destructive incidents that destroy multiple lives are often more devastating in their (un)avoidable/shoulda-made-a-better-decision (on both parts) nature and utter lack of meaning, than when ascribed to a diabolical, long-planned, reason-drive plot. And that speaks to our innate self-preservation as humans:
If one can’t control/identify a threat – e.g., a crazy ex-boyfriend, vengeful homophobe, disgruntled student/employee, jealous friend, infatuated MySpacer, etc. – then they are more vulnerable/defenceless to harm, and there’s no way to prevent it.
It’s hard to live that way; it’s hard to accept that something horrific and random could happen to a well-off, intelligent person who usually does the normal/responsible thing… and perhaps slipped, just this once.
But we don’t live in a world void of incomprehensible variables. Terrible things randomly happen to completely undeserving, young, beautiful people with loving families Every. Day.
I’m not trying to bring everybody down, but sometimes I feel like great stretches in the realm of logic are made here to *makes things fit*/to *explain* this tragedy… and, like terrorist attacks or office shootings, sometimes wonderfully innocent people are quite literally in the wrong place at the wrong time – and sometimes, at their own hand. It’s not easy to process or accept, but it IS reality in this chaotic, connected world we live in.
Sorry to craft a soap-box out of your sensible, pragmatic post, Red Hill… but I’ve had quite a day.
Maybe it will surprise you, maybe it will not. I actually *ugely* agree with you.
The problem is though, your thoughts largely focus on random acts, or divine fate if you will. If that is your theory, I do not disagree it fits in the aptly sized opening.
For me, the series of events that would need to occur for this to be a completely random crime is the square peg here.
I am convinced there is a degree of separation at the absolute circumference of the spectrum at the least.
S H E K N E W H I M.
Respectfully submitted Fo schizz-
B
Chad,
I am always so interested in your ideas.
I admire the fact that you can balance all that you mentioned,
and still devote time to Morgan. You are a kind, caring
person trying to help.
Sending up prayers for your Dad, and a hug to you….
Oh lordy…
If y’all will allow me to grasp my Goblet while picking up another and holding it out for a refill, I have to admit to reading backward up this thread… Time to put my momentary existential crisis in a drawer to answer this:
Comment by katesro — January 28, 2010 @ 7:43 pm
“… Yep, except his name is Dass and the Farmers is Bass.~B”
k: “Had I not overlooked that then I would have never mentioned. My apologies.”
B: “Uhoh, I know CNN was reporting Bass as Dass and maybe J2K was effing with me. She could ya know, she keeps a spare *goblet* and has been known to 2 fist if necessary.
If I erred, I apolly.”~B
Alright, clear the way for J2K:
Dass = Farmer Bass, whom CNN – in all of their Edward-R-Morrow excellence – flubbed in their fit to get The Story, while expending costs on hairspray and man-makeup as opposed to lawyers to back up journalistic cojones… or simply seasoned, educated field reporters.
David Bass = alleged possible Bass family member, whom some people on another blog and here thought it possible was a relative of Farmer Dass/Bass, who could have attended the Cville Metalica show and foreshadowed his recent off-the-wall, federally offencible in-flight azzholery in a fit of out-of-control, 44-year-old (same age!/same name!) pre-concert jerkitude – a man who may have namelessly, but press-seekingly, found himself victimized by the victim before she was victim, and may have made her his victim in reaction to such victimization.
Glad I could clear that up.

I bet you used to eat all the crackerjack and never pulled out the prize once.
Your prose is like a ride I cut through the line for. Bravo.

blink! know you are worn plum out… last ? of the night… are your blinkette’s still thinkin’ morgan never made it to the arena?
Lol. Yes, very, although acho was kind enough to shoot me a solid remedy for the sinuses, bless her heart.
Let’s say absent proof she was, they have not moved their cheese.

and hahahahaha j2k …. just saw you were double fisted again…
AMEN Blink!

J2K – For the first time this week, I’m laughing after reading through this. I think I’ll go to bed now and possibly be able to get some good sleep. Thank you for that. z.
whats up with people who eat all the crackerjack and and never pull out the prize that was me too!
#316 I respectfully disagree. SHEDIDNTKNOWHIM but COPSKNOWHIM and have done so for some time.
Hence the lack of warning from LE to women in the area. There is no predator roaming the streets. He’s being watched from a distance.
Only days to go now until our GG turned BG has a new 8 by 10 home.
My ‘Cheese’ remains firmly placed in the same spot that it has been for a week now.
i totally always pulled out the prize FIRST!!
Mom3 – stay. you are valued.
Happy bday suz!
Before I go to bed – Blink, that means that they could have given her something which led to her death, ie: drugs or alcohol. So we could still be operating under the overdose/freak out theory, correct?
Just trying to get my ducks in a row as well.
susanm… they are the people who show up @ blinkoncrime… trying to be as good and honest as the day is long…it is the tide that binds us… thanks to momma b!
FWIW, I hated Cracker Jacks!

#293 – Sorry Blink, I missed your reply to this post.
I think T.O.D. is important in regards to our unknown suspect (unknown to morgan but NOT unknown to LE) due to his actions after the ‘fact’.
I believe our main man (in a panic) went to visit someone – i believe he stopped at a gas station to buy Gas / CANCER STICKS.
I believe our man slipped up BIG TIME, I believe he left a trail of the electronic kind. Silly, inexperienced boy he is.
I agree as to the activity, but you noted TOD. I can tell you right now, based on Morgan’s remains, there is a zero percent chance the ME will be able to determine to the hour, dear Morgan’s death. At best, the scenario will be with 72 hours at the tightest. His actions after the fact have no bearing on her TOD that I am aware of.

#293 – Bah, looks like i didnt read your question properly – i dont believe that TOD will show that the suspect is unknown. It was just a poorly worded sentence by him.
T.O.D should however remove a few people from the lists of our sleuthers.
In response to your private comment: not at all, I am simply a stickler for facts, especially when we are getting down to forensics, it is my strongest knowledge base for analysis.
So… I may be accused of taking it personally on occasion.
B
Ok so here are my thoughts regarding 20yr old SO. I found the court website where it shows case information and usually the conditions of their release/punishment. (http://epwsgdp1.courts.state.va.us/gdcourts2/caseSearch.do?index=index make sure you choose the right county before searching: Ablemarle). Anyways, I went to school with a guy who was recently convicted of L&L Battery (basically consensual sex with someone between 12-15 yrs old) & it goes with out saying he is a scumbag.
My point is for a non violent offense he is on SO probation for the next 10 years and must wear a GPS bracelet 24/7 for just the one offense. The 20 yr old has had 3 violent offenses and “forgot” to register his location in the last 4 years. I would be of the mind that if he (20YO SO) didnt have a GPS bracelet in July of 2006 with the two rape charges that the he got one in 2008 for sexual battery. Following me?
Unfortunately, I cant find that information on the site and I have a feeling it is because at the time of the crime he was not yet 18. So I think we can count him out if he has a GPS monitor which is (hopefully) likely. Of course if any one can remove it, it is going to be a wirey lanky 20 yr old who cant control himself. Tired of getting caught, obviously commiting the crime is easy for this one but getting away with it seems to be where he messed up. He didnt regret the first two crimes so he does it again in 2008. Since he isnt having a change of heart, his only focus is on getting better at NOT getting caught. He might possibly like Metallica. He might be inexperienced enough to leave a body in the middle of a field where he “thinks” no one will ever go. Youngsters tend to not think things through as well as they should. To me the location seems stupid/inexperienced unless she was in the tree line and was washed out but then again were else would an inexperienced, piece of trash have to take someone except to a secluded area near his home. 20 year olds dont own homes yet. He probably still lives with mom and dad. He knows the farm somewhat for whatever reason, its relatively safe because sound doesnt travel well over hilly terrain or 70 acres. IMO The inexperience is what kept him from coming back to hide the remains better. Why else would someone who has the capacity to do all this not hide the remains better? Maybe it was because their name was on a list of the first to be interviewed and they never dared go back after the first police contact for fear of being followed or linked. If he is not being monitored then I think he looks like a good candidate.
Wait…
Hold.
The.
Phone.
There were PRIZES in the Crackerjack boxes???
Here’s where it totes make sense that SHEKNEWHIM/SODIDHERCRAPFRIENDS, but there’s a skip in the (logic) record:
If this tragedy had occurred in Blacksburg, or even Harrisonburg, it would stand to reason that the perpetrator was obscured in a fog of familiars. But it didn’t. And sure – MH’s dad worked for uVA, but when MH was, like, 10. Alex went there, but… that has yet to present enough of an establishable connection, and this young lady had several *core* group of friends that numbered into the teens – we should all wish to be so loved or known.
So, yeah: It happened in a close-but-foreign city. And the chance-in-a-thousand happenstance that resulted in lovely, sweet Morgan -as opposed to thousands of other attendees – landing OUTSIDE ‘fo the concert actually started, triggering a series of unknowingly fateful decisions that led to her murder and its back-woods, local cover-up that LE has had a very hard time structuring – despite her movements/communications just prior to her disappearance – well… that’s just a lot of unbalanced fortune on the side of BG.
Such unbalanced circumstantial weight in such a statistically rare situation- that occurred in a very short window of time – is inconsistent with reality, if you ask me.
What the hell did you just say?
Im on sinus meds. ( make sound like Felix Unger).
I think at the very end, in the fine print, if you will, you agreed it does not make sense it is random?
(hum theme from jeopardy).
B
#323 – You are right. I have been lead to believe that an approximate TOD (and non official) will be established – this will be developed through condition of the remains, cell phone pings from prince charming and the trail left by our man.
It wont be exact, but it will paint a picture.
We will have:
*Cell phone call made from field/ car parked near filed.
*Transactions made shortly after
*Sightings of his vehicle
We wont have any TOD evidence admissible as forensics, but for investigative purposes we will be pretty darn sure that the timeline will show us that field WILL is the first and only crime scene and that morgan was murdered between 10:15pm and 11.15pm (guessing on the end time, but I doubt Morgan could of been controlled for a long period of time in that field, and I seriously doubt that we are dealing with the type of person that does something unspeakable to a deceased young woman or is going to hang around and leave them selves exposed to potential sightings).
Once again, I am aware an official TOD will never be released (it clearly can’t be) – but what the thin blue line will discover is going to bring some comfort to GIL. Her baby did not suffer for long – this wasn’t merciful, but it was swift.
Let me assure this young man that forgiveness is between him and God. It’s our job to arrange the meeting.
I sincerely hope what your saying is correct, without question. I do hope you will understand when I say to the readers here that I have no confirmation whatsoever of what you are alleging. It would be irresponsible not to, given the specificity of your information.
One question- Your suggesting Dr. and Mrs. Harrington know this information and the identity of this individual? If so, how did they come about it?
Because there is a zero percent chance it was given to them by the VSP. That is a defense attorneys dream. Your literally declaring a suspect before the VSP, publicly. Just trying to understand and relaying info responsibly-
B
#327 – Thanks for the response Blink to my private question. Forensics has never been my area of expertise – ofcourse I’ve had to have some basic knowledge of it, and I’ve been exposed to it on a frequent basis through briefings, but it is not something I have a lot of hands on experience with. I am sure your knowledge would overwhelm mine.
*clunk*
[that's the sound of me putting down an extra Goblet]
Sorry, B. One should not underestimate the clarifying power of punctuation.
I am trying to convey my belief that MH unexpectedly and inadvertently landed outside the JPJ arena that night, repelling off of inflexible security guards and scattered friends inside (the most unreachable of the bunch holding her keys), who did not take her situation seriously, causing her to make the *unpredictable* and irrational decisions that ended up sealing her fate: e.g., stubbornly focusing on getting a ride back to Hburg – the party spot she’d left at 5 p.m., which was still raging – rather than waiting inside the JPJ lobby for Metalica’s set to start and finish.
Nobody lured her outside, and she attempted for quite some time to get back in.
She didn’t directly contact a person involved in her demise because LE would have made the connection.
She didn’t know enough locals to be targeted by one – and at a time when she was supposed to be rockin’ out to a old-but-fave band with her dearest buds.
How – and I ask this, B, knowing you know more than I about the sitch – did this happen?… and in less than a few hours, with no witnesses (who were not somewhat involved, if they existed)?
How else can one explain it but as random, inadvertently horrific sh*t.
Sudafed is not my friend, thus the hour of this reply my good J2K-
You seem to be inadvertently or “vertently” as it were, proving my point. I do not believe it was random, thus causing the single worst cosmic bad luck in a few short moments our dear Morgan could have. Can it happen that way? It can, and you may be right, but imo that means we have a -lying in wait- predator and a highly organized offender, which I do not believe this is. If it were, Morgan would not have been found.
Assumption: Morgans card was used or attempted to be used following her disappearance= who does that?
Admittedly, my theory of a targeted, known to her offender, is asking one to believe there is an individual so brazen to methodically plan and execute the abduction and murder of Morgan with no “screaming” pingback to their identity, which is accomplished in a few hours. In that scenario, Morgan’s purse was dropped by her at the lot, and someone tried to use her card who has no involvement I guess.
I go back to this- Lt Rader is emphatic the friends and she had no plans to meet up after the concert.
Yet, they are in posession of her car. The friends when asked who she may have had plans with, were asked not to disclose. They returned to JMU without her, and never called anyone to see where she was, did not alert her parents, her car now in their parking spot.
I believe they were under the impression she was with someone, not in jeopardy, and of her own will.
Or- I will be the 50hundredieth to say these frenamies, who left their BFF in the cold and rain of night for a concert paid for by her now bereaved Father, will be the subject of my directorial debut into the B movie genre version of “sorority sows.”
My apologies in advance for offending anyone with this post, but they left her there. They had parties. SS dressed like a zombie 2 weeks later.
B
She knew him.
enquirer,gg gone bg ,so not violentS.O.? is he known or unknown to us?
Who was the last person she texted? wasn’t it a guy friend?
Re: Comment by roageo — January 29, 2010 @ 1:46 am
Not sure which of Mouse’s inquiries you are referring to, roageo, but, yikes on the first guy’s pics. I’m sure you were pointing out something valuable to mouse, but I am too tired to connect dots tonight. DM’s photos were all I can take. And can I just ask…WHO takes photos of themselves like that? Who takes photos of themselves period? I always thought that was such a vain thing to do. I guess I’m “old” (according to Mom3.0′s kids)
Chad- I’m so sorry to hear that your dad is ill. I re-read Red Hill’s comment and I don’t think he meant any harm at all. I took it to mean that we (collectively/everyone) have had too much time (meaning 3 months without facts) to analyze and speculate. I hope I am right and that you are okay.
J2k- Whooo arre youu?? I just love your posts and your wit. Always making me think and laugh.
Hummingbird- thank you for acknowledging my name yesterday. I don’t feel like I contribute much but I do feel a strong sense of community here and I’m learning a lot. I think Clementine said something similar (which, by the way I don’t agree with!) Clementine, many of the little morsels you share with us become jumping off points for new conversations.
Mom3.0- I meant to commend you on all of that amazing youtube work you did the other day. I couldn’t even see straight so I had to give up. And I don’t know how you manage to be so active here AND take care of your family. I hold the same position as you do and let’s just say my performance has seriously suffered since I started following this case. Talk about “mommy guilt”.
Sklyer/Fish/Chad – I am sure there are many friends and family members who are so lucky to have each of you in their lives. Your compassion and passion for all things living or in need is palpable. Skyler, I love all of your stories about your animals and your son. He sounds like he is just now starting to become your equal; a goal that every healthy parent nurtures and looks forward to. I believe Morgan was just reaching this point in her life with her own parents. So sad.
Observer- I’m glad you were comfortable enough to stick around. Thank you for keeping my feet on the ground.
I know I have missed quite a few names, and I apologize. There are far too many brilliant minds and kind souls here for me to mention. Keep up the good work.
Now, could someone please tell me what a tree stand is? TIA
Blink,
What a small world this is. I just read your post about Willie Morris. I am friends with the daughter of one of his close friends and I know that this death is a very sad one.
I have had a few reach out to me, I did not know him personally, but I cant think of a sadder ending for his poor family. My heart goes out to them.
B
I am amazed by Y2K’s posts too…brillant!
@Chad – I absolutely meant no offense by my statement of having too much time to think about this crime, neither to you or to anyone else. If you, or anyone else, were offended, I do sincerely apologize. That was certainly not my intention. My observation merely being that sometimes people get so deeply involved that it is difficult to step back and take a fresh look.
I’ll be glad to answer any “local” questions you may have but I’ll also back out and watch from afar.

Please don’t back out now, you have brought a lot of wisdom to this board. Every ones emotions are running high right now with every thing going on and still really no answers. I for one appreciate your posts and hope you will reconsider.
@306, Mosaic, also Cooper, in Mandy’s comment 122 on the most-recent BOC post, Bass was quoted as saying he noticed the skeleton’s fingers — and toes. ***NOTE: Blink is skeptical that the quote might be a reporter embellishment.*** If it were true that Morgan was bare-footed, I start to believe Blink’s original notion that Morgan was marched into that field/treeline, and then we have our primary site. I didn’t think she could be marched w/ boots on, but barefoot, absolutely. Blink, do you think we’ll get confirmation on that quotation?
To everyone who believes Morgan died due to something like an OD and her body was dumped, I disagree. For LE to so easily label this a homicide pre-autopsy, I believe her remains bore clear evidence of trauma (i.e. a bullet hole or sign of strangling). Sorry to say it.
Blink, I agree the friends believed she was with someone known and would be for the entire night. I think they figured that person was either in H’burg or headed there (the latter more likely), thus their assumption Morgan did not need that car back. That does not necessarily mean (IMO) said person is our BG.
Finally, Blink, I am so sorry the Sudafed does not agree with you. The plain little red ones that do nothing else but work on sinuses are the *only* cold meds that don’t wig me out. So sorry your body reacted differently! I forgot my last trick, which is to sleep with your head propped up as high as you can bear without getting a neckache, so sinuses can drain better. Very sorry you were sleepless.
I am not sure about confirmation as to her boots/feet/hands. I have spoken with VSP and they will not comment whatsoever on how she was found or her personal effects recovered.
I am inclined to believe the boots were missing at this point based on what we have heard as in blonde hair, dark clothing, dark bracelets and Bass’s alleged words about fingers and toes defining his visual that this was a person and not an animal.
That said, I can’t say on it’s own that tells us she walked in there vs. being carried. It is my personal belief this is the primary crime scene excluding any crimes committed prior to arriving here we may be unaware of, but part of that is based on my profile of the offender.

Lastly- don’t you dare apologize! I think the saline thing is working, better today, thank you!

When you posted “M”‘s post, I read it, then continued reading all the rest of the posts (like 100 after it) and noticed no one said anything about it. I went back and reread it again and felt alarm first of all, then felt it needed to be in the right hands. In hind sight I should have just posted it to Blink and let her decide and take care of it but instead I reposted it for all to see again. I am truly sorry if I caused the Harringtons any more grief with my reposting of that disturbing horrible post.
Dr. Harrington, I am so sorry I reposted that horrible post and made you feel in anyway that we here at Blinks home, feel anything that poster said was true. We do NOT!!!! This whole site has the utmost respect for you and your family. None of us would do anything intentionally to hurt you in anyway. Your family has become “our family” through your beautiful daughter Morgan. Please accept my apology as it is most heartfelt. You do not need this to worry about on top of everything else. Again I am truly sorry and for reference my name is really Dar(Darlene). May god show you the light at the end of this very dark tunnel.
On a lighter note, I am loving Blinks spunky personality right now!
Go get em Tiger!!
I was one of the people who thought she was a “runaway”…and possible left with a boyfriend who was controlling. I thought she never made it to the concert and the purse was planted there. I always held that belief because I WANTED her so badly, to be alive.
Blink stated her Blinkettes are sticking by their beliefs that she never made it to the concert, and I concur. But where was she? Off with the person she knew….BG. I don’t believe this was random. And, and Blink stated and we all have heard before, but maybe forgot, early reports from friends were they weren’t going to meet up with her after the concert.
They knew whom she was with and weren’t worried.
Question: We know all the concert tickets were used, but were they scanned in at the same time?
Question: How could Gil state that Morgan had passed before the concert was over? Is this implying that one of the tickets was scanned at a later time?
I agree SHEKNEWHIM.
Holy Sheetz roago
Anyone else pick up that one of your FB links shows that a certain S.O.
works at the Sheetz in Orange, Va.? The same place she was allegedly spotted? My poor cheese is becoming grilled.
which one please?

I wouldn’t put too much thought into either fire, the NG or Greene County fire being connected to Morgan’s death. I saw here or on another thread that the NG fire was fireplace related. I haven’t read that anywhere else, but fire investigators have said it appears to be accidental. The fire in Greene County was a chimney fire. As all of us who live in this area know, chimney fires are very common in the winter. Often, when it originates in a chimney, the fire is so far advanced before anyone is aware, damage is extensive. Lots of people in our area still heat entirely with wood, or supplement their other heating source with wood. When chimneys are not cleaned and inspected regularly, cracks appear in the firewall or creosote builds up, and fire happens. With the close proximity to the farm location, I am sure LE is all over the NG fire. If there’s a connection, then I believe they will make it.
J2K, kickee is DB?
Don’t leave RedHill! Your knowledge of the area is so valuable to those of us in Jersey.
We have all felt that way here at one time. I’m sure it was a case of ‘lost in translation’.
He’s good, I know where he lives
Kidding, Red H is learning the ropes and I can assure you meant no offense. Chad will see that and it is all good.
He knows his way around the woods and is an avid hunter, even Mr. Blink was impressed at some of our conversation and he thinks he is the greatest hunter ever in life an beyond infinity..

roageo, Good Morning,
I am not a FB member, so I cannot access your provided links.
If you could offer a brief description of what they contain, I would be most appreciative. Thank you, roageo.
I believe Morgan knew the person also. My only hurdle it why if she was supposed to meet this someone, did she try to get back into the venue? Only thing I can think of is the person wasn’t where they said they would be ie. out front of the venue and she didn’t think they were going to show. Then a call or text came through saying meet me on the bridge…then on to my theory about not meeting out front to be spotted.
One more time, my apologies to Morgan’s family, and to Blink, if I said anything that made you feel offended, I didnt mean to.
I had difficulties following you for the past few days, I was too slow for your speed of mind.
However, I have some possibilies, I came to..:
1. As mentioned by blink on her other post: ”
When Morgan and Amy Melvin, roomie at VT in their off campus Blacksburg apartment arrived in Crozet to pick up Amy Snead and her boyfriend for the evenings event, Morgan called Dr. Harrington, or Poppa, as she affectionately called him, to notify her parents of their safe arrival. ”
And… Not a word more about that supposed to be a part of Morgans friends group attending the concert BOYFRIEND…
According to google maps, Crozet is right next to Charlottesville… so HE could be very familiar with the area…
Could be him, had been one of the possible ex-law students-supposed ex-tenants of the house in the Mr. Bass’s farm…?
Besides, in some of the article here, it was indicated that it was Dr. Harrington who bought the tickets 6 month in advance. And it were 4 tickets…
