Morgan Harrington Murder: Why Anchorage Farm?

Charlottesville, VA– Morgan Harrington, 20 year old Virginia Tech Student found murdered on Anchorage Farm January 26 2010, was put there for a reason.
Image of Original Work By Nancy Bass
It was clear from Lt. Joe Rader’s press conference on February 4 that the location of Morgan’s remains is critical to the investigation, and to the identity of the individuals responsible.
Why Anchorage Farm?
David and Nancy Bass, owners of Anchorage Farm and the residential dwellings therein, own a boatload of land.
B O A T L O A D.
Mr. Bass, is also a longstanding member of the Albemarle County Zoning Appeals Board. In fact, he is the Chairman of the ACZAB since 2007, where he preceded this position at the Vice Chair since 2000.
Between 2005 and 2008, let’s agree there is a “run” on raw land in Albemarle County VA, in particular.
Like many families owning large tracts of land, there is always the dilemma of staying ahead of the zoning curve or preserving their land while paying taxes only on the residence.
Anchorage Farm, like almost 90% of surrounding vacant land, was registered in the Agricultural and Forrestal preservation program.
Location, Location, Location
The forced sale of Biscuit Run due to David Breeden’s original will was a disaster to its purchasers including Hometown crooner Dave Matthews.
A $46 Million dollar purchase from the Breeden family was recently bailed out by VDOT for under $10 Million.
There are lukewarm results to Blandemar Farms in its infancy.
The fresh sale of the first-of-its-kind development marrying land preservation and *ethereal* elite* estates* known as Bundoran Farms, Bass withdraws his 654 acre contribution to the Hardware District renewal.
Mr. and Mrs. Bass re-parceled and re-deeded their land in 2007. I have studied this tract closely; there is no doubt in my mind this land was being prepped for development with exactly the right easements for “right of way” purposes in place.
Nearly every other landowner was now in the 10 year plan with the possibility of not just one, but two significant luxury development projects on the horizon while their land is restricted from development of a “more intense use.”
Translation:
Holy Sh*t, my land could be “not subject to further subdivision” and worth half of what it is now in 10 years. Gulp.
Morgan’s remains were found in parcel 41a.
Which would coincide with the 4 and 1 parts of her families creed o; I choose to take comfort in that.
Keeping up with the Jonesbrights
As an example, let’s use the adjacent property tracts across Red Hill.
The Howell, Waybright, Napier and Hager Families own the largest preserved adjacent trac on Monacan, which from a plot perspective, you might argue is land-locked due to Mr. Bass ‘s re-zoning.
Now, before I get 300 posts asking if I am suggesting Morgan Harrington was murdered out of revenge of a land dispute; of course not.
I am simply saying it is possible that part of the motive of the persons responsible for Morgan’s death to place her on exactly the parcel she was, may have been a combination of comfort AND perceived payback.
I have personally worked with developers on a similar project and I have seen a man have his land value cut in half by not completing the planning process prior to new zoning amendments AFTER granting easements through it. Utter Nightmare.

So could I think that HE said HE loaned Morgan HIS phone. The question posed by VSP, asking if anyone loaned Morgan their phone…is answered.
gail005:
I know that you must be frustrated. Me too! I sometimes hold my breath for hours after I hear “imminent”! I pace, can’t focus on work, and just keep thinking that I will hear something.
I also know that it can be an exhusting experience. Please keep the faith. B, is trying. We all are. She knows more than we do and I believe that she does. But, like she has said to us all…
She works for Morgan Harrington. She works for crime victims.
I would like to tell you that I am only on this site and not because I fall prey to ploys. I can assure you that I do not. I’m a big girl and can turn off the server at any time. I do not because I want to see the justice for Morgan. Hear it for myself. Feel like I am still participating in helping Morgan. I do not want to leave her.
I do read other sites but do not participate. Not because I do not think they are crediable but because, silly enough, this site works for me.
It is the hardest thing anyone can ask in a journey such as this kind…keep the faith! Keep the faith, 005.

“I am curious, though—is this uncommon for a state house to undertake such a resolution for one individual state resident, especially when the case has not been finalized?”
Actually it is done often – usually to recognize a public hero – a returning veteran, a firefighter or police officer, or just a regular member of the general public who does something above and beyond the norm. It’s a way of recognizing outstanding citizens.
fish says:
acho, josie, total: maybe he was trying to score his next victim or the intimidation tactic. Befriend them first by helping them. Then later on, he would approach one of them and since they recognize him, they accept? Maybe we should all be aware of this situation.
Whatcha all think?
————————
I get where your thinking the perp may have presented himself as a friend first to earn trust in a future victim- a valid thought IMHO. Although I don’t know if you’re trying to connect that to the house fire somehow?

Thanks again for the kind words- I appreciate it. The hardest thing for me to deal with personally about posting is knowing that some people, especially Blink, know much more about this case than they can say- and criminal investigation in general- than I probably ever will. So, when I try to present a hypothesis or ask a question, I think to myself that if it’s wrong or way off from what they know to be fact- how am I contributing? I think they must roll their eyes and keep going- and I pray they realize I’m not an idiot…lol. Let me add that Blink (nor anyone else) has ever said anything to make me feel that way- it’s just a testament to the respect I’ve come to have for the minds on this blog.
Amazing posts!
Palerider, I so get you. Your posts speak to me on many levels. I love those kinds of connections.
Peace my friend, and to my sister friends on BOC who continue to show love, courage and compassionate. You are warrior women who fight relentlessly. I can see why Morgan has called out to y’all.
~*~ Love and Light ~*~
curious: Never thought of it that way. But and this is only my opinion, how does a girl go from wanting to see a concert for six months, picking out an outfit with mom, driving all the way there, including her friends, become locked out, try hard to get back inside…go to wanting to makeout on a cold, rainy, dark night without even saying to her friends…”I’ll be with so and so. Does this set the mood? I’m not sure but I don’t think so.
I suppose it is possible but I think not probable. Keep the thoughts coming. I am losing my cheese and you may bring another senario that we haven’t coverd yet.
FWIW: You have me interested in the boot thing. Where are they?
Total: I was trying to find out who responded first to that fire. Was anyone driving by or in the area. How about a police/fire scanner in their home??? You don’t even need one of those, btw, you can log onto some of these sites through the internet.

I didn’t clip and paste your post, but that’s a hypothesis I’ve thought about myself… right down to the boots. A guy with a intoxicated girl who’s way out of his league- she’s willing to take it only so far, and wants to stop. Thats not good enough for this guy who feels like she owes him something- he’s proven that he can’t control himself before. Things go downhill very fast. Then, knowing his ass is going back to jail for a very long time… he can’t go back there…he just CAN’T…decides to cover his tracks in the most heinous way.
This is a “lone” perp hypothesis- and I think it could have been done alone. Many people think it was more than one, and I’ve leaned in that direction too, but a very possible hypothesis none the less.
Hold the phone! Cell phone bill records.
B, How long does it take to secure these?
Or whatever the legal lingo is.
and…
“Know” is subjective- there are some parallels to her interests and his family.B”
Her interests are music and one type is bluegrass and his family is friends with Sarah?
depends on the prob cause warrant-
My dearest fish, I cant go one on one here. I am trying.

Fish-to your post in response to curious:
In running that hypothesis- In my mind I’d see it as Morgan gets turned away from re-entry… meets up with the BIB(possibly), and heads down to the RV lot to “hang out”. She needs something to do for a few hours. They say they are going to hang out somewhere, and they’ll give her a ride back. Maybe more than one person with her at this time. They stop, she picks up some things at a store (the debit card). They continue on to location x. They all hang out- continue drinking. Maybe some drunken flirting. They are either at a residence at this time, or at the “party spot”. So either Morgan and perp leave the residence and stop at the farm, or the other people (probably 2 or 3) decide to head home from the farm. Fill in the rest from there.
Fish:I’m not sure what happened to lead her outside of the arena…possibly ejected for drinking or voluntarily outside to smoke pot?? refused re-entry, calls a friend who is some distance away but says he will send another friend to pick her up and keep her company until the concert is over and she can reunite with group of friends. Makes arrangements for friend to pick her up at the bridge. They drive around, drink etc and end up parking to kill time until concert is over. “making out” gets out of control, Morgans is unwilling for events to progress to the next step, he becomes enraged and we all know the end results. He panics, carries her a short distance to the dump site, leaves in his four wheel drive vehicle. Then he discovers he has left behind her boots, purse and other personal items. Possibly drives back to arena to throw out purse, then disposed of boots and necklace somewhere else. He could say…yes, she was with me, but I brought her back to JP arena at ____ time, left her near her car to wait on the friends, and that she was safe and sound when I left her. (just my rambling thoughts)
yoshii- That was interesting about the Wallen’s Ridge thing, and the post made to the video. Somebody’s obviously trying to send a message.
If that IS him, then LE should make RSO’s have a new picture taken every couple months. Quite a difference since the posted one.
*On a side note… I was driving up my street the other day. This oddball looking guy that I’ve seen around town was shoveling out his parking spot at an apartment building thats down the street from my house. He looked at my car and my fiance waved out of courtesy. I told her he was a little “off”. So last night I look at my local SO registry. Sure enough- there he is…RSO for sexual misconduct involving a child. Jeez.
Does anyone know if someone with the same last name as EMH and the middle name Duane is related to EMH?
Sky, have you found your dog? If not, I wonder if it would be a good idea to call the pound every day just in case the person who took your first call to the pound drops the ball?

I share your feelings exactly! but I must say all of your posts strike me as very well thought out and worthwhile. Whereas, I do not even have the courage to venture to hypothesize, myself! I just keep taking everything in and mulling it over. I love this site, I feel like I’m in the presence of greater minds and I enjoy learning!
Kind words from both of you, but let me take a second to remind you and everyone else that whether your the next Kojack or Barney Pfife all contributions are important.

Definitely good thoughts to ponder, on prison sentences.
If VSP were to question RSO’s before discovery of the body, why would it take them approx 3 months to do so?
I do believe the guy is of interest. However, cannot agree he registered due to their questioning. Unless a tip or something pointed VSP in that direction.
bluewillow, you are 100% right that there are lots of limitations to statistics and that the recidivism rate is like likely higher than the figures show since, as you pointed out, it depends on them getting caught again. I think we’re still not going to see 100% recidivism rate.
Now, having said that, I am 100% in favor of mandatory tough sentencing guidelines for those who commit crimes against women or children. You can tell how a society values women and children by seeing how well they are protected under the law, and I would say we don’t do a great job here and that women and children are still second and third class citizens. So I would love to see a sea change that demonstrated that women and children are valued, and tough laws against those who harm them would be an awesome way to start. I would add that there should be an equally tough law put in place for any women who lie about being harmed by a man just to put him in jail. You know that would be a fear that might make folks leery of having such a strong law (and a reasonable fear, imho—we already see cases of that from time to time), so hopefully there would be a parallel law protecting men from vindictive women.
Ross, thank you for your reply to my open-ended comment about honoring Morgan in the legislature “Actually it is done often – usually to recognize a public hero – a returning veteran, a firefighter or police officer, or just a regular member of the general public who does something above and beyond the norm. It’s a way of recognizing outstanding citizens.”
I know that in a lot of states, the Governor will honor someone by executive order, so that it doesn’t go through the legislature. I honestly haven’t taken the time to see how Virginia does it. My reason for questioning it was this: did LE encourage the family to pressure their representative to propose this, as a way of publicly pressuring the N.Garden / C-ville relevant families to shake that bad apple out of their tree? Because I am thinking that these families think they are beyond the law and only public pressure will push them in another direction of thinking, or at least to turn on each other.
She is (officially) said to be intoxicated and/or acting irrationally, she falls inside the arena and cuts her chin or face, she leaves the arena and can’t get back in despite trying more than once, she tells her friends inside that she will find a ride home, she is believed to have been seen HH on the bridge, and it is cold and drizzly out.
I put those things together and say she indeed HH’d and ended up with a ride from a (known or unknown or slightly known) person or persons who end up killing her.
Not that it is not a possibility, but to me it feels like an abrupt change of direction to start with the opening paragraph and then conclude “and then she decided to hang around town and wait for her friends” —- cuz I’m thinking she would call and tell the friends something like, “Hey, don’t you dare leave without me, I’m going to hang out with so and so or at such and such a place.”
I dunno. Still so many unknowns.
KeeKee said ” i would mention that his ggrandma is from a landholding north garden family. as most old virginia families, they parcel out plots of land as gifts to the next generation and so on. one of these plots once held a rented house that burned to the ground in the wee hours of january 26th. ”
_______________
KeeKee, have you absolutely confirmed that? I see a nearby lot that’s on the market that fits that bill, but I cannot make the connection to the parcel on which the house burned. I get that it came from the estate of a different grandmotherly type, but maybe you’ve been able to trace it back an additional transfer/generation?
Total Amateur, I know the feeling of thinking you’re throwing out something laughable, but I figure that’s part of the act of brainstorming/freewriting. (And a great personal exercise in pride swallowing!) Besides which, I think your posts and questions of late are excellent. I think I have figured out answers to a lot of them, but I do not feel like I can answer without backing them up. And in backing them up, I might expose names who don’t deserve to be pulled into this. It’s such a tricky tightrope walk. The best we can do is privately post what specific info we have to Blink and let her be the judge of what to release. [Blink cringes.] I gather her shoulders are strong.
My opinion: News reports about the fire are inaccurate. I do not think the girls have a thing to do with the fire or even knew it if there was evidence in or on the property. If any partying happened anywhere on the property the night of 10/17, I sure hope participants have spoken to LE.
Skyler, I was so frustrated reading your possible-Lexie-sighting post and knowing you couldn’t run right over. What an exercise in patience for you. I hope you have good news.
Happy Saturday, all!
If so, this leads me away from EMH being the perp. Don’t see how he could/would have claimed to “know” Morgan.
“Know” is subjective- there are some parallels to her interests and his family.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Oh, I think I get it now…am guessing a bluegrass connection. Makes sense. Thank you!
I *think* we can rule out the guy-she-texted-60-miles-away-told-her-he-would-send-a-friend-to-hang-out-with-her hypothesis because that whole text conversation would be known as soon as her recovered phone was powered on, and those text messages would have pointed soooo clearly to a suspect that in lo these 5 months the VSP and FBI would have applied sufficient pressure to turn all of his jello-solid alibis to kool-aid (love that!) and we’d have an arrest—or at least a suspect or POI under the spotlight.
Instead, months later Rader is making an appeal to locals to give LE ideas on who it might be, based strictly on the location of the remains, and the FBI is reaching out broadly and creatively to ask cyclists if they saw anything in the area. It’s almost like they don’t have any leads.
She was at the concert, and then she was dead 10 miles away in a field, and that crucial inbetween part seems to be known only to the perp.
Have any talented land-development beneficiaries “recently gotten into cycling”? Does LE know that? (Keeping all possibilities in play.)
I feel like I’m a little kid on a sad Easter egg hunt, hoping my mom and dad (AKA LE) will help me along with a “you’re getting warmer!” or “brrrr, it’s freezing over there.”
Skyler- found this on craiglist. I dont know how long your dog has been missing or know where you live in Va but saw this with the pink collar. Here is link http://richmond.craigslist.org/laf/1614488527.html but in case link does not work
Found this morning at the intersection of Newbys Bridge and Belmont.
Young female wearing pink collar with no name tag. My guess is she has been lost about a week as she was pretty skinny and hadn’t eaten in a while.
Text me if she is yours at 804.615.0171 804.615.0171
fish, hep a brutha out—i’m not tracking with your comment on the perp loaning morgan his phone. Can you ‘splain a lil’, lucy? I must be cloudy-headed today.
In my way of thinking, if LE knew for a fact that morgan used a strange phone, they’d know that based on someone she knows having gotten a call from her that night from a strange number, and in that case they’d know whose phone it was, and our perp would be wearing handcuffs by now.
I think LE posed that question to the public because they were stumped—-like, “Huh. So she didn’t call or text anyone for a ride from her own phone. But she left the area. Could she have borrowed someone’s phone in order to do so?”
Two thoughts:
Why does there have to be a complicated scenario involving Morgan’s murder? I think she was hitchhiking trying to get home, accepted a ride with someone she didn’t see as threatening, and he attacked her in a remote location between JPJ and AF.
Also, going by a few cases in my neck of the woods,if DNA was found on Morgan and there was a match, u can bet there would have been an arrest by now. Let’s hope LE wouldn’t sit on that until they built more evidence – a killer would be on the loose.
keekee- Very interesting thoughts on the house fire. Now I see why people are interested in that. Could arson and 4 counts of attempted murder charges be added to Morgan’s murder?
Blink- I’m chomping at the bit for more info about the phone…
If true about the house fire and the resetting of the clock on January 25th- I think it’s becoming more of a possibility that Mr. Bass didn’t just “stumble” upon Morgan’s body on January 26th. Not saying he had any involvment in Morgan’s fate, but maybe somehow was tipped off about something untoward being on his property. Just too huge of a coincidence.
I do not believe Mr. Bass had any prior knowledge of Morgan’s remains location when he checked that field.
I do think there were things going on that prompted a perimeter check that even he may not be able to articulate as to the reason he felt the need to in the first place.

March 5, 2010 at 9:00 pm
IMHO: Clue.
acho -
whew, i wondered if anyone even saw my post. it was painful to word it so so…er, densely? anyway, hot on the trail still with enough added weirdness to think it may be more than coincidence. there are also cousin parents in the house next door to burnt house.
after reading curious’ post with her many references to the “prep”, i am beginning to wonder if i have reversed things in my mind as to the ultimate big bad bigger bad guy. it may well be prep vs. perp…or prep as perp. the mib may just be the initial connection with all 4 dropping off the radar after keeping morgan company in parking lots.
and i still feel so strongly that morgan would never have gone to the bathroom by herself…i don’t care how impaired she was. this makes no sense to me no way no how. and…i also think she would not hitchhike. just do not see it
Another hypothetical- Could Mr. Bass have heard through the “grapevine” on the evening of the 25th or morning of the 26th that a certain individual had been brought in for questioning? Could he know this individual frequents “the camping” spot on/near his property and thought he’d go check it out- just in case?
If you left from Mr. Bass’ farmhouse, and headed directly to that spot- you would pretty much pass right by where Morgan was found.
keekee and acho,
There is more information about the past land history of the owners of the house that burned, and the adjacent house on:
http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/Forms_Center/Departments/Board_of_Supervisors/Forms/Agenda/2005Files/20050907/Officialdetermindavis.htm
The land of the house that burned is on Tax Map 98, Parcel C-1. (I found the information by searching on the previous owners name and Albemarle.)
keekee, just curious as to why you think morgan wouldn’t go to the bathroom by herself or hh? I obviously don’t know the girl so i have no idea of her ways, but i can accept these things as possibilities —esp. the bathroom— grrrls don’t always go in pairs, in my own experience as a girl–though i am admittedly weird, lol.
I don’t want her to hitch hike because i think hh is dangerous, but that doesn’t mean she felt that it was; her folks have said that she was trusting (which i take to mean as trusting of strangers, like the kind who might pick up hitch hikers).
Taking what curious said a bit further, what if the reason the guy knows of this spot is because it was a parking spot he used in his youth, say high school. The area beyond the first gate on Red Hill Road is easily accessible to fisherman, swimmers, hunters and parkers.
You would be surprised what happens at some of the bridges around Albemarle County. They just attract all sorts of people doing all sorts of things. This area was far enough away from the farm to be hard to monitor, if Mr. Bass cared at all. When I was younger, many years ago, before Mr. Bass owned it, I picked berries there. If the guy didn’t know it from living there himself, maybe he knew of it because he came there with a local friend who knows it well.
Tammy, I’m with you 100%.
suz,the michelle signoria(sp?)link you posted one day ,has an article in which michelle says le is looking for a WOMAN who might have let morgan use her phone?????i also think it has been suggested that perhaps am or ss or dc called someone on their phone’s to come and get morgan,and i am guessing, if true, they told her in the one conversation they had with her that they would call so and so,so she was waiting for so and so to come get her.it was rumored that am & ss had a place to stay in charlottesville that night,whether they did or not ?i wonder who and where that place to stay overnight in c’ville was ?
Acho says:
Have any talented land-development beneficiaries “recently gotten into cycling”? Does LE know that?
I donot know if we are eyeing the same individual. But the tall curly haired music lover that I am interested in does enjoy cycling and making videos of himself.
Wireless providers have an exigent circumstances hotline for LE that is staffed 24/7. Ping, MMS + SMS, call detail data and customer data associated with texts and calls can be retrieved quickly, sometimes in a day or less. Routine investigative requests can take up to a month, simply because there are thousands of LE requests pending nationwide.
It can take up to a month to get responses to Facebook and Myspace subpoenas.
suz –
it’s just my very strong personal read on morgan’s past behavior. i could eat my words, but even the girlfriends’ account of morgan kissing one of them goodbye supports my feeling more. also, 2 of the 9 are related to le and i see them being more safety conscious than the average college student. also, i’d venture to say statistics are pretty low for the number of girls/women who go to the bathroom alone in a concert situation. my college son is in virginia and my college daughter is in a different southern college and both responded in horror and disbelief at the thought that anyone would hitchhike these days…no matter how impaired. the number of concerts i have attended myself in the last 10 years alone is too high to count, but the venues were of all diff sizes, indoor and outdoor and we have never witnessed anyone hitchhiking to get to or away from the venue. we would notice if we had observed that because it is such a no no. the only people i have seen hitchhiking in the last few years are usually people with a sign, a backpack, and a buzz on or under a highway overpass.
OK, Kee Kee, so you have proof the families of Sutherland Rd. fire property and Sutherland Rd. property for sale are related, and properties originated from same ggrandma?
I just want to be sure you are sure.
Also, Kee Kee, I originally felt MH would never HH, but I have seen enough HHing talk on MySpace among members of this larger music festival-loving group that I changed my mind. I think she might have tried it. And FWIW, the 20-yr-old Acho absolutely would have gone to the bathroom alone at a concert. I do not think all girls that age are into the buddy system rule; I was not and I actually laughed at friends who insisted a girlfriend go with them to the bathroom. (I shudder to remember that …)
palerider,yeah ,hard to watch,my insides were shaking,i watched til the end for morgan,and actually they redesigned it for a postive ending(says the film maker’s)and cast paxton for her intelligence.did you catch the dialogue when the doctor asks the gang what they are doing in the area,paraphrasing: “my father used to bring me fishing here”,the exact wording in his “feelings” for the area creeped me out,it matched the fbi profile for anchoragefarm.
digihitch.com is an interesting glimpse into the world of ride bummin, but even those that do…seem to do a little bit o pre-planning. can’t help but notice that many of the east coast city experiences with hitchhikers are accompanied with such and such city sux! dude
the BG could have damaged the fence, while taking MH’s body to the “perfect” spot. I do not believe extensive fence damage was done. Extensive damage would have garnered too much attention and / or investigation by Mr. Bass.
This is just me on a rant, it is not directed at anyone and should not be considered a “slam” on anyone or their ideas. The sun is shining, the day is beautiful and I just want J4M.
Just as much as I would like this case to be hermetically sealed in an airtight case, wrapped in impenetrable wrapping, tied neatly with an unbreakable rope, labeled with a tag written in indelible ink, and delivered to the Commonwealth’s Attorney, it may not be that simple and straightforward. Before it is all said and done, there may be a myriad of little packages that are wrapped up and piled at the feet of a number of people including our perp(s). Hopefully, one of them will be the “surprise package” that solves it all.
Simplicity is great, but until this is resolved, any and all senarios and any and everybody are in the mix and any “truths” or “facts” previously confirmed are questioned.
Breathing deeply, back to cheering from the sidelines.
Placing My Cheese:
I doubt Morgan was hitching a ride. That was probably something that vagrants or bums did, in her mind. Her parents seem to be the type that would have educated her on personal safety for a pretty girl in this dangerous world.
I think that a group of girls drinking together would have gone to the bathroom in a group, or two minimum.
Morgan had a reason, known to her friends and possibly LE, for leaving the warm arena to go outside in the cool, rainy night.
Morgan was unaware of the no re-entry policy.
Morgan’s phone habitually had the battery pop out when dropped. In her state, she probably did not notice and the cover was clicked back on, sans battery.
Morgan was probably the victim of a blitz attack in the parking lot exactly where her purse was found. Apparently, campers were parked there. If all of the camper owners were inside the concert the campers provided cover for a car, 4wd, or whatever the perp(s) was/were driving. I think two+ guys were in this vehicle drinking or smoking. They did not care about LOG and were partying until time for Metallica to go on. Morgan stumbling by was just bad luck. I also wonder if tickets that were purchased but not used have been looked into.
I think this small group of guys watched Morgan’s progress across the fields and lots. Fate brought her closer and a quick plan was made to grab her. Her purse remained at the spot she was blitzed at. I do admit at least one of the perps may be someone Morgan knows from the concert scene.
AF is harder. It is obviously someone who is familiar with it, on the way to their own home. It could be the violent SO who lives just past AF or it could be a renter, illegal hunter, mushroom gatherer, part-time farm hand, picnicker, partyer or guest of AF from 1-20 years ago.
This is not the first time these “trash bags” have been in trouble with the law. It is not their first time trampling on the rights of others. This is not the first young woman that has seen the glazed, angry look in their eyes. Someone knows exactly who this is. This someone is scared to talk, fearing her personal safety.
Lt. Rader said that whoever left Morgan at AF was familiar with the geography. He has a reason for thinking so. He declined to tell, for whatever reason. Rumor has it that DNA, foreign to Morgan, was collected. There are many other rumors. Some will ultimately be true, some untrue. Here is the truth. An arrest is coming. We may all have different interpretations of the word imminent but rest assured, it is coming. I am placing my cheese on an arrest before VT’s football season is over. I know that seems like a long time. The Harrington’s have hinted at the science that has to occur. Some of it is a long process.
Morgan’s killer(s) will be caught. Some defense attorney will make some stupid, predictable, JB-like statements about his clients innocence, the unreliability of DNA, the public doesn’t like his client, etc. They may even find some crusty meter reader to blame it on. But rest assured, those responsible will be caught and not punished severely enough.
Morgan did not hichhike, beg for spare change, share stew with bums under overpasses, or live in a cardboard box.. Her upbringing precluded this as a possibility in my mind. Her parents had worked hard to raise a good kid that would have been a good adult.
I do not believe Mr. Bass had any prior knowledge of Morgan’s remains location when he checked that field.
I do think there were things going on that prompted a perimeter check that even he may not be able to articulate as to the reason he felt the need to in the first place.

I agree that a suspicious phonecall, etc. would be unlikely, because I don’t believe LE would tell him to concoct a story about checking fences. But, your thought about the clock resetting on the 25th is starting to make sense to me. I think Mr. Bass probably heard some rumors, and knew that a possible suspect lived close by. I think he knows about a possible hang-out spot, and what local youngsters go there. He may have felt like going down there to check out the area just to assure himself… maybe even telling his wife (or himself) that he was gonna go check the fences as not to alarm her. To his shock, he actually DID find Morgan. In that regard- he wouldnt have to say to the media (probably even at the request of LE) “Well, I heard a rumor, and I know so-and-so lives down the street and hangs out over there with his buddies, so I thought I’d take a look to be sure.”
If the answer to what happened to Morgan that night is really simple, why all the unanswered questions? her father didn’t know until 11 days later that Morgan’s car was driven to JPJ for the concert. They must have had a change in plan regarding transportation to JPJ and forgot to tell Dan Harrington up until he found out around October 28th. The friends story was that Morgan was studying in the back seat of her own car on the way to the concert. Nobody believes this but everyone seems willing to let that remark slide because these 20 year old girls are under enough pressure. There are no pictures at all of Morgan that night, not before the concert, not during. I dont know if Amy or Sarah were ever seen on video that night either.. is what happened to Morgan really that simple?
I don’t know if it’s just me and my inexperience- But for the first time since following this case, things seem to be coming together. There’s alot still unanswered- but I’m just getting the “sense” from this blog that pieces are starting to fit. More and more things seem to be making sense. Even my own thought processes are becoming less scattered and more focused. I actually feel comfortable throwing out some witness statements and rumors. That said, I still feel like there’s many more revelations yet to come… but something feels like truth and justice are just around the corner.
