Morgan Harrington Murder: Why Anchorage Farm?
Disclaimer–
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.

my thought(s) after this last report from bling, based on nothing except gut feeling… (and, as i type this i am wondering where the blinkette’s cheese is right now?)??
i believe that morgan partied with some folks she knew and/ or her’friends’ during and after the concert. i believe that someone she was ‘with’ had a call for medical assistance from the uva area in the middle of the night. i believe that whomever morgan was with called a ‘trusted’ older friend to rescue them from a bad situation before the medics arrived, so as to avoid drinking tickets, etc.. i believe it was after this time that morgan met her demise….i think they went to a more remote area, where abigger party was going on.
i also would guess that morgan was wrapped in a tarp from a ‘tent’ where she was invited to party away from the “main group’…. the boots morgan was wearing are a BIG deal, and suggests female involvement, to me, because they were not with her body when she was found…
whoever the kids called after the emt call probably had nothing to do with the murder, but i believe that person is key in the placement of morgan’s body…
and, though i know that blink believes that whoever MURDERED morgan placed her on the farm, i respectfully disagree…i do not think they had the wherewithal to think that thru on their own…
but, she is the WOMAN, so, i also suspect i am totally wrong!!!! and, at the end of the day, who cares? i just want the !#$%^ brought to justice
xoxox blink for ALL you do
keekee, your comment,
“a stalker like this is the worst kind of hunter…the kind that kills a baby doe or kills the mother to revel in the knowledge that the baby will starve to death;”
chilled me to the bone.
Also, with respect to the same post, I know as a local you have a ton of information about the area, the people behind the initials that have come up on BOC and the goings-on in the community. I have a great deal of respect for your contributions so please know I am not questioning you. I just don’t remember reading that Morgan was stalked. Or, are you referring to sexual predators in general? Maybe I missed something. I’ll read your post again.
Word Girl!
You’re brief absence has been palpable, my friend – good to see you. And, what an entrance!
(WG:) “If any of the AF hunters were LE or had ties to them, it would be a double eye-poke from the murderer’s point of view.”
As there were only four hunters officially allowed by Bass to use his land (though they may have brought others along), this may be easily disproved, but I’m thinking that we likely have two – make that three – possibilities here (*if* and only IF the collective hunch/Obvious Child is the perp, or one of them):
He was:
A) Beginning to stress following the adrenaline during the crime, and needed to get home for curfew (whether he was with someone at the time and being driven to his house or alone), and a rapid turn-off into the most accessible, secluded, deep-brush property (AF) was a sure-shot along that route;
B) Same scenario as above but he (or his possible accomplice) had a need to dump her body, a plethora of descent places to choose from in that area , and decided to stick it to some sort of LE figure who was kind of a d*ck, or had previously busted him/them for something – *possibly* for trespassing on that very farm? – and they decided upon AF for that very reason (in addition to it offering hidden-but-accessible spots throughout a portion of its vast, western expanse;
C) Young Buck has blindly supportive parents with a vested interest in keeping him from going back to jail (for years!), and following the above initial scenario, he went home and asked his mom, step-dad or both for help, and *they* thought of AF for some of the more “adult” reasons theorized about on this very thread.
fish – re” “My name stinks!”
Was that… was that pun intended?? Awesome either way!
Your name is YOU, my Lobelicious One – I no longer read and interpret the actual monikers (except for new posters joining us, but it only takes a few weeks to get to know them, too); I just envision the person through their familiar and distinct voice. In my mind, you are beautiful… and smell springtime fresh!
You do realize our colorforms match, at least in part, for the farm backdrop
B
Apparently I forget my “lessons learned.” Had learned to copy-and-paste my comments from a Word document into the BOC “comments” box, from having a couple vanish into the ether. Forgot to do it earlier and voila, same disappearing act.
I was trying to respond to cvillenative’s speculative question whether Morgan might have attended school around C’ville with “cheesy jumpsuit boy.*” Don’t think so; think published reports stated the Harrington’s left for Roanoke shortly after Morgan was born. (But I meant to ask this: back when “cjb*” was first mentioned on BOC, did some poster suggest that he/his family had been in Roanoke before moving back to Albemarle?)
Also seems possible that “cjb” could have escaped his GPS minder – which may not work so well around North Garden (or in the generally rural locations where music fests tend to be held)—or had a job that gave him occasional access to local music events, and he met Morgan there. Or he simply spotted the “glamour shot” photo she put up on the Facebook page where she revealed her plans to see Metallica at JPJ—a photo that may have caught the eye of other RSOs (and SOs who’ve never registered, for that matter.) I guess I still just believe that Morgan “thought she knew” either the BG, or someone who was with him that night.
this is the thing ,no dna,they have his, what san diego can get dna results back in less than 4 days,but it takes va. three months?its either not there or doesnt match.
Just Desserts, we differ on it being a pre-planned rendezvous that led her from the arena – I think it was an unexpected and immediately regrettable occurrence.
But, per your recent post that she maybe knew”cjb,” it’s possible (though, I’ll bet someone here already knows the answer) that, as (I think) MH and her family lived in Cville until she was about 10 years old, that she coincidentally went to to grade school with Cheesy Threads, and he was – whoa! – one of the BIBs, and (buckle up, folks: I’m going Full Gumby here) he *remembered MH* – perhaps from her memorably long, wavy blonde hair, and *that* (“Oh hey! Yeah, I uh….kinda…remember you, too! Mrs. Applebaum’s third-grade class, right??”) moment was what sparked their initial interaction by the entryway…
But, wow. Think I pulled a muscled trying to twist all that together – and the end result would be the same: she met up in the arena vicinity with The Wrong Dude, and it cost her her life.

Yes, darling B – but *which* set of my store-brand waxy stickers matches your single, brilliantly colored, brand-name one? … Do we have accomplices out there much older than I may be envisioning?
Fwiw, I dont think unsub no.1 may be denying he was with Morgan that evening.
My complete supposition tells me that the clock reset on January 25th .
B
—————————————————————–
Was January 25th listed as a registration renewal date- or something else?
A hodge-podge of comments/responses to earlier posts:
lizzy (3/3 @ 2:32) says she can’t make her mind connect the rejection/rage/ murder of MH to a coldly calculating “real-estate-dispute-based disposal” of Morgan’s body. . . .at least not unless she thinks of “the disposal-decision-maker independent from the initial crime. Which would mean that someone KNOWS, doesn’t just suspect, or not know what they know.” I see your reasoning—which seems to me another way of contending that there may have been “a crime of opportunity” after all—that crime being a decision not by the killer, but by someone secondarily involved, to leave the body on Anchorage Farm.
DaisyGirl (3/3 @ 6:38)—you ask [paraphrasing], “if you want to embarrass Bass by putting a body on his land, why put it in a place he rarely goes?” I’m only speculating as follows: Bass goes to that field rarely because he really doesn’t need it for his limited cattle farming (also maybe because he doesn’t want to confront trespassers there) – Bass plans to subdivide and sell parts of his property – Wouldn’t it be likely that he’d try to sell first those parts that he doesn’t really need (like that field, and other parcels on the other side of the creek, fronting on Red Hill Rd) ? Well, if that reasoning seems right, then perhaps not only was Bass’s discovery of the remains (instead of discovery by LE or a third party) a blow to the perps’ hopes, but also the timing of the discovery probably caused Bass less harm than if discovery had been made after a sale of that parcel and the beginning of development/ building on it. Discoveries of human remains have been known to tie up construction projects lengthily.
Saramom (3/3 @ 4:29), your statement of the ins and outs of placing land in conservation easements and the delays and uncertainties of getting it out again is useful. Except that one could contend that, by reducing the “land use value” of a large open land tract to near zero for tax purposes, and since it may not permanently restrict an owner’s option to request rezoning to a higher valued category, what this system “conserves” best is the capital of those who had enough of it to acquire those large tracts.
total amateur @3:35—dittoes on someone else’s reaction to your post, “What s/he [?] said!”
bonbon @5:32—well said about the “newbie” suspicions, out in the countryside and in this area generally. Throw in lack of cash among some established clans and obvious wealth among plenty of newcomers, and they might be less “newbies” than “FNGs” (to use the old Vietnam slang)
acho @ 5:12 – Wow! What you point to is a thinly veiled, class-based struggle for who’ll have the right to set a community’s basic civic structure, its settlement grid, density, infrastructure – all operating through the mechanism of zoning approvals and denials. Fierce enmities and corrupt collaborations might easily stem from this same source; even a whiff of favoritism or double dealings by those who control the mechanism could set off far-reaching consequences.
Catch @ 5:03—you state an important “home truth” in saying “. . .children hear the things we say within the walls of our own homes. They hear us rant and rail against those we perceive have hurt us, ruined our finances, destroyed our inheritance. . . . they learn to resent others based on the things they hear at home. . . . When kids without a normal sense of self-control repeat past bad behavior, they often try to do something
“Good” to make up for it. . . to deflect the attention from their bad behavior to their attempt at a good deed.” That certainly sets a stage for vengeful acts against people they’ve heard condemned by parents or family authority figures, acts they may expect will be well received at home.
And an awe-struck SHOUT OUT to TDBone for those pro-fessionally helpful photos of the vicinity of Anchorage Farm!! If you have any confusions about the lay of the land there, this link may set you right:

Post of the day?! You are all too kind! I’m humbled; I don’t usually have much to add to the discussion, I’m sittin here blushing! Now, Blink, if you ever tell me I had a good idea you hadn’t thought of, I could be on to something, and thanks for the tip, I’m going to hang my head in shame! ha ha!

Did you guys notice the bitterness of the one comment under the Biscuit Run article? The guy who sat “at Millers over a beet with three other contractors ridiculing these fools.” (heheh, sorry, I have to say that typo really made me smile!) Don’t mean to bring the above commenter into this, by any means, it just made me think on all the different avenues of bitterness, resentments and grudges that can come out of these real estate things…

Just Desserts says: an intersection of greed and grudges… what a good phrase…

Blink wrote: I found myself thinking, what if I was a kid that expected to eff off and squander my access to education to follow my free spirit and still live like a king. What if the ability to do that was threatened?
An offended sense of entitlement…

I think ‘Freaker’ (sorry, Frank Speaker!) did make a good point when he said “Sure some punk may have wanted to place her on land not owned by someone he is related to.” Add to that, would he have liked placing her on the land of someone he had a grudge against?

Fish said: It was a personal finger to the Basses everyday thereafter.
**They never wanted her found!
You guys made me think again of my RAD foster son who I’ve told you about before. He had this one habit of damaging parts of my house that I would most likely never see, i.e., poking a hole in the wall behind the sofa or defacing a wall inside a closet. I redecorated my house after that adventure and I found the darndest things all over, that I never would have noticed if I wasn’t getting the walls ready to paint. It just made him feel good to know he had damaged something that meant a lot to someone else. Although it was secret, it gave him sort of a sense of power.
Another thing I often think about that I learned from him. After he came to have a certain amount of trust and respect for me, he began telling me about some of the horrible abuse he had had as a little boy, including being repeatedly molested by a relative. The thing I will never forget is, after that, he became very surly and angry towards me and my family. I asked him about it and he said *it made him really angry to know that while that was happening to him, my family was having fun and loving each other.* He did not turn his anger at the offender but at those who had what he had missed out on. And I just think that right there is a really incredible insight into the minds of some of these people.
What pics are you referring to? Thanks
“plus, even the excellent pix from Christy S and T-Bone don’t really show how quick that turn onto Red Hill Road is and how fast that turn comes up — “
First off, Blue Willow, last paras of your 3/4 at 3:51 a.m. (!), I *so* appreciate the insights you contribute.
Second J2K, “acho, aka the Master of Rapid Research”: Hurrah, I scored an AKA from you. In all honesty, though, I have been sitting on that woman’s various surnames, locations (I get possible Stanardsville, Ruckersville, and Earlysville in her past), and familial transactions for some time, just waiting to feel free enough to discuss. Beyond the facts of my unwelcome free time and powerful interest in helping the Harringtons, here’s my reason: Any time I see a string of last names like that and children are/were in the house, I worry about the home life. I can’t help it; I once was a teacher. (Now, as B pointed out, the point of her article was simply to study land ownership and David Bass’ role in zoning during Albemarle’s boom and bust. I am pushing that liberty and will stop here.)
Finally, Skyler: I forgot all day yesterday to tell you I’m thinking about your doggie and hoping she is fine. Brilliant signage … hope it works.

Pay particular attention to the last two paragraphs. I think bluewillow hit the nail on the head, when looking into the minds of criminal offenders. ‘He did not turn his anger at the offender but at those who had what he had missed out on.’
Excellent insight.

Blink: Was unsub no. 1, with her inside or outside of that arena? FWIW, I’m taking JD’s advice and hooking the computer monitor up to large screen tv and looking at LOG, again. Maybe unsub no. 1 is in her vicinity. Maybe someone else is holding her camera up and taking pictures. Who said she had to be the one with it the whole night. My friends borrow and snap with mine. I’m gonna look for that! There is a guy in a blue and white striped shirt taking pictures from the floor. I think that he may hand the camera over to the guy next to him. It is hard for me to see. But hopefully, a larger screen will help. I am just using them as a reference point. Not saying it is Morgan’s camera. Let me clear that up.
unsub no. 1 admits to being with her? I’m ’bout pizzed off! Then I believe that he killed her. Why else would you shut your effing mouth up? Lawyers or not. If he was with her and didn’t do harm to her why wouldn’t he have come out on October 18, 2009 and said “Hey, she and I were at so and so place”. She was listed as a “Missing Person” at this point!
He would have no idea if harm came to Morgan unless he did the harm to her? You mean her luck just kept getting worse and someone else came along? No way.
Maybe I am just having a bad start to my morning. I’m going go have a cup of joe and rethink this all. By the way, J2K, I did mean my name stinks. Some days more than others! (like today) Wow, who peed in my cheerios? Deep cleansing breaths. Deep cleansing breaths.
B: I wish you could see a beautiful TY card. Know that it was sent. You are a gem and I am a stinky, grumpy fish!
what bluewillow said
so the clock was reset in adrenaline fueled anticipation of upcoming search of the area??
and as an aside, can someone wipe that smugazz smirk off john gardner’s evil mug? prayers to chelsea king’s heartbroken family…
No that it matters…but just to clear something up:
I am a HE. Don’t want to be called a he/she…lmao.
KeeKee
His head is appropriately lowered as per lawyers instructions. No smile now, but it is there. You could see it at one point when he kept his head lowered while glancing up. It was hard for him, but he managed to keep a straight face. The worst punishment for these types would be to be ignored. Too bad they are on the news so much. they are loving it.
If the CIA want to practice, they should systematically eliminate all the RSO in Virginia for starters. Bond
*not* that it matters. Ugh. I need coffee!
Hey do any of our locals know of places to buy an ice cream between JPJ arena and AF?
I just can’t seem to let go of Mr. Kane and his rather detailed discription of the night Morgan went missing!
Diogenes
Your comment “If only you knew” I do know.
More onions for you. An even bigger bunch!
Bond, James
Blink, I have a few questions that I hope you will answer.
First, with the 29 Stalker case being revisited lately, is it possible that Morgan’s case is tied in with that?
Second, if so, anyone under the age of 30 would be eliminated as a suspect since they would have been children at the time of the 29 Stalker incident
Third, Does BOATLOADS imply that the POI place Morgan on this property via boat, canoe, watertransport?
Thanks for your efforts and I feel like you are trying to give us clues to connect the dots and maybe come up with the missing link. I pray that anyone directly or indirectly involved feels the weight of this burden and does the right thing. If Morgan’s POI is tied to the 29 Stalker, it tells me that women in my area are not and have not been safe. Gil is right. Evil is everywhere.
I do not believe Morgan’s case is tied to the R29 stalker.
Boatloads was just a term, no kindling for a fire, lol.
I love that you guys think of everything.
B
I’m a little perplexed- Blink says she thinks the clock was reset on January 25th. Morgan was found January 26th. How can this possibly be another coincidence?
So on Jan 25th, LE either had information linking this person to Morgan, or he came forward. The very NEXT DAY Morgan is found in the back corner of a 750 acre lot?
total amateur -
the testosterone is greatly appreciated and duly noted
punks can be arrogant thinking they are oh so much smarter than investigators, but it seems that this crime has overlapping participants not unlike the other connections we see in this society of land/business owners, musicians, emergency services, genealogy, hunters, photographers, and groupies. could be there is a rapist #1, rapist #2/murderer, pre-rape witness, post murder puppet master, and the myriad of suspicious family members with varying degrees of anger and resentment toward individuals and society at large. someone’s family has a huge collective chip on its shoulders
@TotalAmateur, I cannot speak for Blink, but I am suspicious that on Jan 25th, someone overhead something about Bass getting ready to check those fences the next day, when precip finally stopped falling (remember all that discussion about locals talking, whether at the PO or the community store–which, in this case, may be the Crossroads Store). OR that night, someone made him believe he needed to, asap.
I think it was Suz, and now InMemoryofGini, who mentioned VSP and the Rte 29 stalker case. VSP has its own FB now, objective being to cover more than just Rte 29 Staker case, although they’ve begun with it. My take on this move is that VSP has learned from none other than our dear Blink that use of new media really is helpful in gathering tips. Why they opened with Showalter Reynolds instead of Harrington, I’m not sure. I say props to B for modeling so well, and to VSP for paying attn and embracing change. I hope and pray it makes a difference for the Commonwealth!!!
TA: So on Jan 25th, LE either had information linking this person to Morgan, or he came forward. The very NEXT DAY Morgan is found in the back corner of a 750 acre lot?

Not to mention that the very next morning, a house nearby burned down. Of course, that was said to be coincidental. But in the realm of “hmmm”…it is interesting.
Sky – no. I absolutely refuse to be alone with a stranger ever again moving forward, AND i am buying a dog with my boyfriend in May and will take him wherever I go.
I am so freaked out that I dont smile and say hi to everyone I pass by, and I dont engage in conversation with strangers anymore. I used to talk to anyone at any time. Now…I keep my head down.
Im still full of love…and so when I get my rottweiler with me, I will again shine bright to all human beings everywhere. LOL.

Jen, AMEN. How our judicial system can put more value on a dealer than the lives of our beautiful children baffles me! We need an overhaul on mandatory sentencing for sexually based offenses!!!
Bluewillow, Sky,Mom, WOW, great words!!!! I hope our Mr. Speaker will take a moment to reflect AND appreciate the fact that he IS appreciated on THIS website.
Good morning Blink. Interesting post. So you’re saying the location & placement of Morgan’s body will lead us to the pertrator(s)? I hope so.
Can I ask who came forward on the 26th?
susanm: The SanDiego scumbag was a repeat offender and probably had his DNA on file because of that. Gini’s murderer also had DNA on file from previous crimes. Morgan’s killer/s may not be previous offenders and therefore no DNA match easily connected. Science rocks….give them time!
According to Crime Reports.com, 2 assaults and 1 incident of Vandalism/Destruction of property on the 1800 block of Red Hill Road, on December 26, 2009, which, by examining a map of the terrain of the area, just so happens to be the general area of a potential access point to where Morgan was found. Hmmm….
Looking at the date, Christmas time, I was inclined to think perhaps domestic family violence of some sort, but there is only one house on the 1800 block of Red Hill Road, and none of the occupants seem to have criminal or arrest records, which leads me to believe these incidences happened in the land around it.
The Crimereports lists the Albemarle County Police Department “Identifiers” for these incidences, is there any way Blink, you can work your magic, and take a peep at? FOIA or something?
So to wrap up: aggravated assault and vandalism, late 2009, in the Red Hill Road area.
Coincidence…or clue?
Is there any way to know who rented the house in the North Garden house fire of January 25th? Or did we finally decide on another thread that the fire was unrelated to Morgan? I think I recall some PVCC students saying on another board somewhere that they lived there, and we let go of that fire as being related, but I’m not sure. Anybody?
harumph, don’t want to give too much credit to puppet master, but if the primary crime scene involved a biscuit place, not blink’s…that could also server to point a manipulative finger at a very popular musician artistic ladies’ man. betcha there are some dudes that have been hatin on him for a long time

Any chance Morgan was actually found on the 25th, and LE kept it very quiet in order to do their initial processing of the crime scene without a media frenzy there? Without having to worry about news helicopters overhead taking pictures?
None.

I can admit it. I am a putzel head.
So many of us have voiced a desire to be able to “do something”
I am asking myself, what can I do to make a change that would make stop these terrible and evil people from committing these horrible crimes. We are the majority and yet, these creatures of evil, are everywhere among us. We shouldn’t have to live like this. Evil attacks the best of us. The innocent, the good and trusting and charitable ones are hard hit. There were no lives lost, thank God, but evil seemed to have swooped down and touched my life two times in the same month in 2006. Two major life changing events one right after the other. Seems like the evil that was after Morgan that night, made sure everything went wrong for her before delivering the final blow. OMG I can’t believe I am writing all of this. I wish I could have conducted myself with the same kind of grace Mrs. Harrington has. I couldn’t. I felt like I had been a good person and was kind and giving and when this evil came I became so angry and so full of rage for 2 years. I finally let go when I realized the damage it was doing to me and now watching Mrs. Harrington and other mothers and fathers of innocent victims, and how they hold themselves, well I just feel a little ashamed. In the 2 evil incidences that happened to my family, one had nothing to do with the other. It was just coincidence.
Yep, I think our Blink has got it all about right – and you clever Blinksters…well, I’m in awe.
This started as a murder, a crime of opportunity turned to rage, committed by some cheezy low life. But methinks CLL had help apres, by probably a more “mature” and influential person in his life…
I see power stuggles, rage, hate, greed all in a circling poisonous cauldron. JMHO

I really hope the dots are connected and an arrest is made soon. Praying for peace and justice for the Harrington family.

I had a cousin that was murdered at home during a buglary. She was taking a nap with her 1 year old daughter when she heard someone downstairs. She went to see what was going on, stumbled upon a robbery, and the BG strangled her. He was arrested soon after for the crime and killed himself in jail while awaiting trial. It may sound insensitive but it was such a relief that the family would not have to endure a trial as well.
(( Just Desserts )) #10 3/4 at 2:29am – link – TD-Bone, WOW excellent! The photobucket #s 43-50 is what I was speaking of a long while back. These gates were never shut, there WAS an old home here. This “lane” had a name. What family started in this 1790′s home, who leveled it and when? (VFD may have practice here?) – any film making here? At any-rate, I want to know what original old historic home this was, i.e., what family? Don’t ya know they had a ‘way’ across the river? Also: (( Josie 3/3 – 3:43pm )) Paul was a Harrington connection on a bancrupt property on Chopin from a long time back. I wanted to see if Blink had put that to “bed”. Let’s get Blink on Bill O’Reilly and get some laws changed!!!!

How can it be in this country, that we have people locked up longer than that for non-violent drug convictions, yet these sexual predators are turned loose over and over again only to reoffend!

Jen, AMEN. How our judicial system can put more value on a dealer than the lives of our beautiful children baffles me! We need an overhaul on mandatory sentencing for sexually based offenses!!!
Thanks bevolovr for bringing that forward. Count me as another baffled one on the values of our judicial system. I second your AMEN!
