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.

…sorry for the “string posts”…
i guess what i am trying to say, is that the perp may have only needed to be privy to the Bass’ being gone, but not necessarily how often that part of the farm is frequented…also would know the surrounding landscape, as in the property owner’s late night habits well(who is up and about, who is not).
i am hoping to narrow the suspect pool a little. honestly, why would the perp have to know how often Bass went to that spot. he would only have to know they werent home. and that neighbors with a vantage point of that spot were gone or asleep. IMO, he didnt have to know the actual land that well. just that route and that spot. could have been a spot like others have suggested, like a lover’s lane type spot
IMHO, this case is nearing freezing….
Javier, I cannot believe some of the cockamamie aliases and locations I’m seeing for some of the most-interesting folks on FB and MySpace. I wonder, if LE followed your good idea, whether they’d even hit the individuals who know something.
Which leads me to this question, probably rhetorical: How the h*ll can FB ensure an RSO does not open a FB or MySpace acct?

CHANGE is going to come! CHANGE is on the horizon!
I, along with so many others, are furious and frustrated with the present laws governing sex offenders. They seem to plea bargain, get a slap on the wrist with ten years or less, and then they are back out on the street again to commit their horrendous crimes against women and children.
Many of us have experienced or known someone who has experienced sexual assault by an offender who is due to be released or has already been released.
Sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated (regardless of what a handful of therapists might proclaim).
We need the laws to change. I share with many others, the belief that the first sexual assault shoule be their last assault on anyone, ever. Many of us want these specific criminals incarcerated for life with no possibility of parole (With exception of teens who have consensual sex, but a parent is enraged presses charges and the person who urinates in public. Not saying I condone this, but, I do not think they should be labeled as sex offenders).
How can we get this going as a national law? We will do this together en mass and we WILL make a difference.
I propose that we make this one of our priorities.
We want every victim’s assault and/or death to become the foundation for a safer place for all women and children.
Whether you have knowledge, /experience about changing laws, know someone in law and/or politics who can help and/or just want to be supportive, you are welcomed and your voice Willl be heard!
CHANGE is Gonna Come!

Anyone have an ideas how we can start the “ball rolling” to start protecting our women and children from these RSO’s who are allowed to walk the street and assault again?
———————————————-
My answer to a very complex problem is short and sweet…..Education.
Teach young children at a very early age that there are dangerous people out there – How to spot them and their ruses. Deliver that message using various methods: classroom, tv, internet, billboards, radio, whatever. I don’t want to hear someone say, “oooh, but you’ll scare the children.” BS. I’d rather have my kid informed and scared then dead. They’ll always be sharks in the ocean. Don’t swim at dusk. If you do, carry a spear. (ooh sorry John
That’s interesting Suz. I feel the cute young RSO stands out like a sore thumb on the list of RSOs and that’s specifically why he doesn’t sit well with me. His looks make him seem “safe”. He’s not that big either (160 lbs, 5’9″).
RE: my post #22
THAN dead……not then dead…..bad typo.
Suz – I am partially with you, based on the impression that this was a sex crime (although not officially verified). A Sexual Assailant, which this would appear to be, typically do work alone. A sex crime is motivated by power, which is not readily shared. An accessory after-the-fact can’t be ruled out though.
12.
I just can’t see that happening. First b/c at this point her father realizes something was amiss-Morgan wasn’t there yet her “friends” have her car and from what you’re saying they drove it to the Harrington home the next day.Why would they drive the car to the Harrington home in the first place? I thought Morgan met them…was one of their cars at the Harrington home?
Don’t you think Dr H (and LE) would ask specific questions re: the car, the concert and what transpired the night before?
Or could the so-called friends have purposely been ambiguous or outright lied about what car they took and what REALLY happened the night before. After all, Dr H bought the concert tickets, they apparently went in Morgans car and then they just abandoned her. I imagine that was a strange and awkward conversation—”Thanks for the tickets and the ride, sorry about Morgan, it’s not our fault SHE said she’d find her own ride home”.
The fact that Dr H was ‘confused’ about which car was actually taken to the concert tells me two things….the so-called friends weren’t clear/straightforward about which car they took(one has to ask why) and the H’s and the so-called friends weren’t communicating.
I would think that LE would immediately inquire about which vehicle they came in and at least check out the car–at which point they would know exactly whose car it was–and LE would (or we hope they would) relay that information to the Harrington’s.

RE: Christy: That was an interesting post concerning guitarist C.B. So I found this link…

M.H.=C.B.Band=Anchorage Farms (location, location, location) CONNECTION? Worth some more digging…
I am in NO WAY placing blame on parents of children who have been harmed. So many people have no idea how dangerous the world can be.
They do their very best to protect their children and give them the best they can. But we can’t rely on the system to protect our children. There are so many holes in it. The larger our society gets, the more holes they’ll be. We don’t have enough man power to enforce the laws we have, and there is so much more that happens that
many do not know about. Don’t listen to some stuffy ass professor type who tells you that the media exaggerates the dangers (I had one of those) but I knew first hand what goes on in many small towns that
NEVER gets reported. It has gotten better since the FOIA, but things are still covered up and deals are made. PLEASE don’t rely on the system. Yes, a LOT needs to be changed and we CAN make a difference, but in the meantime, drill it into your kids head that monsters DO exist and teach them how to protect themselves. I’m sorry for the rant, but I feel so passionate about this. I have family in LE and I worked surveillance and did skiptracing for a PI for 7 years. I have seen and heard more than I think I can handle. My idealistic world view was shattered.
Long time reader, and I love you all. I am still reeling from the info that RSO was in a facility followig his first offense,( maybe more), and it was there he re-offended? Besides the obvious “whoa” (same sex offender/preference?) factor for me, it says that he commited the same type of violent offense while incarcerated or in treatment! Why in the world was he ever released? I can’t wrap my brain around it. I know it was juvenile, okay, but maybe the brighter minds of BOC can explain how he was released under those circumstances. Ever. Is there that much of a leeway in juvenile offenders?
Suz- there is no reason from what is publicly known to believe there was more than one perp. However, right now the best information I have to go on is what Blink says.
When she says something very deliberately, I tend to believe she knows something we don’t. One thing she posted a while back sticks in my mind: She responded to a poster about a month or so ago that there wasn’t just one crime committed against Morgan, there were several. That coupled with her unabashed declaration of it being a “brutal” murder has changed my opinion a bit. I shudder at the thoughts statements like that put in my mind.

i read justthefacts’ post on my way out the door to a teacher meeting and totally missed the name breeden. geez.
don’t think i even mentioned breeden when i was talking about family land and cousin connections to wf. so…it is apparent that justthefacts was talking about someone else.
and i was not even sure if you, yourself were asking for backup for me. i just thought i was responding to justthefacts. now i am completely confused and need to finish reading posts here.

You can spear a shark if you need to, but could you first use your spear on some oportunistic Clowns In Action? You could also take your spear to Peru without a translator and see what you could dig up. (you said you have lots of experience) You would need to be brave to look for the killers of Doe.
Peggy, LE knew from the beginning (i think) which car was at the concert, as they’re trained to calmly ask pointed questions of what may be hysterical people. It was Dr H who was confused.
3he friends’ heads were probably spinning from Dr H calling aski?6 “where’s morgan? they found her purse” and D2 H’s head was probably spinning when they said “we don’t know where she is”. so I see all kinds of oppty for micommunucations to ensue. it’s hard to absorb anything when you are in shock, as I am sure they ALL were.
Someone needs to clue me in on why everyone is focusing in on RSO that lived a stones throw from AF.
Because…if it was him – he would have been arrested by now via DNA.
So, either he left no DNA – or it wasn’t him.
I know proximity to the crime scene plays a part…but something just doesn’t sit right with me about pointing a finger at cheesy jumpsuit.
They would already KNOW if it was him. They would HAVE to.
So…who wants to throw me some biscuits as to why so many still think it’s him?
Celia, I also believe it may come down to someone talking before this crime is solved. Either pointing a finger at someone else, or fessing up to it himself.
Dolce, I’m terrified for my children when they leave the nest. I think Pat Lampkin meant well, that is a standard speach to first year parents at many schools, but I agree, our daughters are in danger. Especially when you see how lenient courts can be with sex offenders. I wonder, can a student go straight to VSP or local LE? Or would they refer the matter right back to the UVaPD (or whatever college PD)? And if she names the guy, then what happens? I’d want to put his name on billboards and all over newspapers. Guess you can’t go that far.
And Suz, I don’t necessarily believe there is more than one perp, but I do believe that EMH could be capable of this crime. Say he gets the knock on his door on the 25th about re-registering, sees they’re awfully close. Then later that night, accidentally leaves a burning cigarette on the bed of the Sutherland house, where maybe a rape took place. Or maybe the rug. If he’s been capable of rape before, and possibly murder, he could probably care less about anyone left sleeping in the house. He just needs to save his butt, and he’s not too bright. He could have done this all on his own. The only coincidence in this scenerio might be that Mr. Bass happened to find Morgan’s body on the 26th. We were all out checking for storm and wind damage in the days following those freakish winds, so I’m not too surprised he was out there.
Oh but Mr. Bass could have heard about the fire since it was so near, and maybe had heard rumors about interest in the neighborhood RSO. Knew that there had been some “activity” in years past right around those lower fields, so maybe he thought he’d do a walk through. I know we were all told to keep a look out for Morgan’s body, but most of us were probably thinking roadside, or something more obvious and accessible. Not way back on someone’s private property, down in North Garden, on the way to nowhere.
On February 17th @ 7:12 pm, Blink states that she fears “for the reality that it will have for so many when arrests are made. I am queazy daily at what the Harrington’s will face. I would love to be wrong.”
This particular statement has haunted me because of the word “arrests,” and also because, to me, it seems to allude to a far darker scenario in which Miss Morgan died and the number of people involved here.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To all you brilliant and compassionate Blink on Crimers: I fear I may puke on my keyboard if one more person refers to a RSO as “CUTE!” Thanks.
What did I miss?

Re: childhood sexual abuse… I feel that in many cases abuse is passed on in a family pattern and it starts so young that the children do not have any idea why they have the urges and damage they have. They have never known anything different; it started before they have memory. They do not even realize that not all families do these things. When these experiences have happened from the time of infancy on, their brains have been wired to connect sexuality with control and violence. Once the brain has been wired that way, it cannot be undone, only controlled.
This, to me, is one of the most important reasons SOs need to be separated from the population for good the first offense. They seek out victims and cause this damage that they have experienced to others, over and over, sending that many more SOs out into the world.
total amateur, I go by everything Blink says, including when she says “…and sometimes I’m wong”
lol
; )
total amateur and suz,
I can’t get the 4 MIB off my cheese plate either, especially because the woman who reported seeing them with (Morgan)had made a statement which I interpreted as her gut feeling that it wasn’t a safe situation. Women and especially mothers can be very intuitive.
They said that, though they were still friends, they were not good housemates and had all decided to move out to preserve the friendship. Take it for what its worth.
Why would you take it at face value? Just curious.

Concerned Mom: From one concerned mom to another . . . Thank you for the link to the article about the secrecy of sexual assaults on campuses – I’m going to print it out and give to my 17 year old who is currently at UVa. I remember sitting in the orientation for parents at UVA and listening to Patricia Lampkin, VP for Student Affairs berating parents for being “helicopter parents” and kist becoming very steamed at the very idea of the audacious presumption that she should tell parents how to behave. She encouraged us (repeatedly) to “let go” and let our kids ‘work it out.’ She implied that doing any more for out kids would stunt their social and emotional growth. That flies in the face of what I’ve since learned through my awareness of Morgan and posts at BOC. I found it an irresponsible position then and especially today. This reenforces my thinking that parents still need to support and communicate – especially with their daughters who are newly on their own.
So I have a question to any and all . . . is a student REQUIRED to report a sexual assault to the campus police or campus officials? Or could that student go to city or county police first and avoid the “honor code” shroud of silence?
TIA,
Dolce
_______________________________
I posted a much bigger response to the article but it got lost in the ether somewhere. You can go to the police first or exclusively. This person did and the police determined they did not have enough to charge him. The UVA board is something set up under Title IX and they incotrrectly believed it carried a confidentiality requirement under the law. That isn’t the case any more. Even when it was though, it was a disciplinary issue and not related to the honor code in any way. And no one was ever been disciplined under it anyway. The student had a full hearing under that board and they found in favor of the male student.
Blink, so sorry to hear about your accident! Take good care of yourself and recover soon!
TY friend.
B
blink and all:
Could it be that if the “remains were found in a critical area”, then could we discuss that it was more about placing a body on that plot of land. Maybe IT IS all about land mass!
Could it be that Morgan WAS in the wrong place at the wrong time.
They were going to grab any girl, at any time.
Any thoughts?
Hate to throw this into the ring but statements about location, location, location and critical area, gets my fish-lobe hurtin’!
does anyone think Morgan’s purse might have been stolen / taken inside the arena? possibly on the way to the bathroom? maybe someone took her purse inside the arena and then went outside. i think either that scenario for getting her outside, and/or i think it is possible she may have been drugged inside the arena, causing severely impaired judgment.
i keep going back to … prepared for the concert for 6 months. right before the main act … disappears. did she have an extra ticket for a special someone? i think now, if we can figure out why she goes outside / how she gets outside in the first place, this may be the simplistic approach, but the key to what happened next … still don’t know why she is ever outside. why does she go outside the arena by herself?
the reason i am so focused on this right now is when i take a look at something like : http://www.roanoke.com/datasphere/wb/224154
it is really hard for me to believe Morgan under any circumstance would just keep wandering toward the bridge … even if she was on alcohol /drugs that she knowingly took. either she was drugged inside of the arena (highly feasible) and the perp kept distance until she made a mistake (went outside and continued to stay outside) or she wanted fresh air and went outside and met the fate in the RV Lot. she didn’t hitchhike. there was absolutely no reason to go from the arena to the bridge … no reason at all.
Hey Suz, here might be my argument for a 2nd perp: WT. I’m wondering if WT was LE’s original POI and they just can’t figure out how to place him at AF. (This is not a new theory at all, we’ve probably rolled this one around a hundred times like everything else.) But say he and EMH are connected somehow…not an obvious internet connection since EMH is technically not allowed to do fb or myspace…and WT is the one EMH called on the 25th, after he became spooked at being asked to re-register. WT might be the one who’d be familiar with house fires since he’s an EMT, or he might at least know how to set one that would keep the fire inspectors confused for a while.
Probably a wild theory, but it all seems to be a stretch anyway.
Blink, sorry if this is a duplicate:

Regarding #3 above, Dulcie, Charlottesville Police do not have jurisdiction over UVA–local law enforcement would not be allowed to file a report even if a victim attempts to bypass UVA authority.

Now, I have no idea how insanity is defined in the US. Could anybody help me out and provide the necessary background information? Can an insane person still be sentenced in a court of law? Or can the court only send him into psychiatric care?
Yesterday, I had a look at Greene County. It does not appear to be very densely populated. Does it have specialized facilities? There are contact phone numbers for juvenile parole officers on their website. But what happens with psychiatric cases?
&&&&&&
Unfortunately, this country systematically closed down most psychiatric treatment/confinement facilities beginning in the 50′s, in an effort to “mainstream” the mentally ill. Subsequently, the mentally ill who commit crimes are most often put into the criminal “justice” system, where they receive little, if any, treatment for their underlying mental illness. Their level of psychiatric care most likely depends on how much funding is available in the particular locality. Courts will sometimes order a psychiatric evaluation, but if found mentally incompetent, only means they may not stand trial as a regular offender, but they will likely still end up in jail.
Although neurotransmitters play a big role in mental illness, I don’t believe all mental illness is treatable. And, social deviance is not necessarily caused by mental illness, in the traditional sense. It’s so complicated. I believe I recall reading that the numbers of inmates and homeless has steadily increased since the wholesale closing of mental health institutions in this country, so that should tell us something. Our priorities are all screwed up. We can bail out big banks and corporations, but we don’t want to spend a dime to deal with society’s ills, and it shows.
Another poster asked about juvenile offenders being released prematurely (I’m sorry not to name you, just don’t want to search back through posts and lose my place!) I think juvenile offenders, unless charged and sentenced as adults, must be released before or when they turn 18, and their juvenile records are sealed tighter than a drum.
Mr. Bass is a father of two girls. If he thought there was even the slightest chance that any criminal activity concerning Morgan could have taken place on his property, he would have searched earlier.
I believe he was checking his fence line just as he stated. I don’t think there is anything more to it. IMO
Hi Saramom—when I used the word “cute” next to RSO I did not intend this to be a compliment for CheeseDoodle. (Nor did I want to prompt anyone to hurl on their keyboard. So sorry!)
In our society unfortunately we equate physical beauty to inner beauty. What is scary about an RSO that has the physical characteristics considered attractive (symmetrical face, light colored hair, blue eyes, smallish chin) is that at first glance he does not look harmful or dangerous.
That is what I meant by repeating the word cute…and I really should have put it in quotes….without them it was grossly misunderstood. There is nothing cute about the behavior of a RSO.
Can someone please remind me why people keep up bringing WT? Is it because some little old ladies on the internets saw his FB profile, and were offended by his “Family Guy” type sense-of-humor? Or they saw a movie they didn’t like in his “interests”?
On a related note, I am of the opinion that Morgan did not know her killer at all, and this was more of a “blitz” attack.
Why do I believe this? Because of statements made by Lt Rader after Morgan’s disappearance:
“It’s very disheartening, in all honesty, that this time has gone by and we haven’t had any kind of contact or any leads that have worked out,” Rader said.
http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/223391
This statement was made on October 22, and indicates they had absolutely no clue who was involved. And Lt Rader was pretty blunt and honest about being clueless. Which tends to rule out anyone close to Morgan, IMO.
Also, two different FBI profilers, from two different articles, both think it was a biltz-style abduction:
http://www.examiner.com/x-1168-Crime-Examiner~y2010m1d28-Morgan-Harrington-death-Criminal-profiler-speaks-out-about-killer-of-Virginia-Tech-student
http://www.readthehook.com/blog/index.php/2010/02/01/multiple-riddles-harringtons-body-creates-new-mysteries-angles/
I tend to trust experts.
In that case, review his press conference from February 4, AFTER Morgan was recovered on Anchorage Farm.
He is deliberately clear that this suspect is tied to this area, and so is Morgan, through various bands, venues.
B
Is it possible that LE is confident they know the perp but NEED to associate the moron with the land? They need to make a definite connection between killer and land.
I know this won’t get a response but hopefully get someone thinking.
Also, I posted this before, and I’ll post it again. I have no doubt in my mind that if Morgan was hurt inside the JPJ venue, she would have been attended to by an employee, security or first aid. There is NO way she would be asked to leave, with an injury to boot. If she left on her own free will, she would have been asked if she wanted to a ‘stamp’ on her wrist (in case she wanted back in) and medical attention.
She left on her own cognition. She was not lured out! I would like to think my 10 years as an usherette at a vacinity that hosted stanley cup playoffs, concerts, monster jam, rodeo, etc would amount to something. Every event was equipped with security, first aid and police officers. If someone wanted to go outside to smoke even, they had their hand stamped. Procedures were in place for almost every kind of incident. No one would ever be tossed out of the venue unless they possessed drugs, stolen tickets, etc (in that case, they would be formally arrested). I’m sure JPJ has similar protocol.
Again, Morgan had a choice to leave and come back in. She probably denied the re-entrance stamp but she was given the choice by someone manning the doors.. And surely, first aid would have tended to her unless she declined.
If I only have 1 piece of valuable info to offer ,this would be it. I can’t explain why she was not seen on security tapes but I am 99.9% sure she was not lured out of that building. I’d say she had a plan to leave before the event started (hours, days even, before the concert). Morgan probably did not share her plan with her friends. She had no intentions of staying to watch Metallica. I also believe she was lead to believe it was someone else she was meeting outside but turned out to be someone she knew but had not expected nor wanted to be confronted by. How well she knew this dude is still a mystery, obviously.
K….now I’ll hit the submit key with great apprehension but with great hopes it can help find Morgan’s killer (who happens to be a coward….and his friends and family know it). He plays the helpless card and his family is buying it.
PS. MIB. Who can easily id 4 dudes all dressed a like? Either these dudes feel a need to ‘belong’ or they’re Johnny Cash was indeed to mislead witnesses.
Or am I preaching to the choir?
Kumbya y’all.
If the BIB sighting is accurate then I assume she just hung out and partied with them in the lot initially, since she reportedly later interacted alone with the bball players. So is it assumed one or more of the BIB came back by after that and she then left with him/them?
Who found the purse and when did they find it? Does LE know and have they talked to and identified them? Who was it reported and turned in to? Have they been identified and talked to? Did LE even care at this time?
I just saw the link to this story:
http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-could-restrict-sex-357567.html?cxtype=ynews_rss
Says Georgia is considering restricting FB and MySpace from RSOs, and “A similar proposal has already been adopted in New York and others are being considered in California and Oklahoma.”
So, does VA actually have no such law?
This is Facebook’s single line to users about it: “You will not use Facebook if you are a convicted sex offender.” (http://www.facebook.com/terms.php)
Easy peasy. Of course these creeps are on there. I have seen so many offensive and disturbing pages lately, and of course the accts are registered to made-up names in made-up locations.
Observer, did I thank you earlier for the info you posted about VAWA? I meant to.
Doubly happy VSP set up their FB page …
Has there been an official description of what Morgan was wearing. I don’t mean the vague description that was given early on.
I ask because the “bookkeeper” said she was positive Morgan had on high heel over the knee boots. If that is not what she was wearing we would not need to focus on the MIB.
Also the “Sheetz witness” said she saw her wearing a pantera shirt with only letters, no pictures. If LE knew that her shirt had pictures maybe that is why they dismissed her claim.
I have noticed some people saying the shirt that was found couldn’t be Morgans because it had pictures on it, do we know that for a fact or are people thinking that because of what the sheetz lady said? I have not seen conformation that her shirt had only letters, please let me know if I missed that. TIA

The purse was turned in on campus as lost property the following morning. I would hope that whoever found it has been talked to by now.
