Morgan Harrington Murder: Picture of Morgans Boot Released
Charlottesville, VA– Morgan Harringtons killers have not been apprehended.
Morgan was brutally slain, presumably, the evening of October 17th, 2009 after she went missing from the John Paul Jones Arena, located on the grounds of The University of Virginia. Her remains were recovered on January 26th, 2010 on the grounds of Anchorage Farm in Charlottesville, VA.
There have been countless witness accounts and reported sightings of Morgan since she vanished from JPJ, most of which, have been prefaced by stating “ or a person matching Morgan’s description”, so we are truly left to sift through what is accurate, and what is a well intentioned bystander.
One of the most conflicting item descriptions, is that of the boots she was wearing that fateful evening.
Below is a picture of the boot Morgan was wearing the evening of October 17, 2009, as confirmed by Morgan’s Mother Gil Harrington, to be “spot on”.
As you can see, it has no laces, and a cuff of approximately 3” that can be worn EITHER at the knee, or above, as reported by the witness who believes she saw Morgan walking away from JPJ with 4 men young men dressed in black, and again in the lot adjacent to Uhall.
Additionally confirmed to blinkoncrime.com, Morgan was wearing “footless” tights or leggings, which would require additional socks.
Morgan was known for the very distinctive socks she wore under these boots.
There is currently a $150,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction for anyone responsible for the death of Morgan Harrington.

Seeing this picture of precious Morgan’s boot, just breaks my heart all over again. Please tell me we are getting close to witnessing an arrest and seeing justice for Morgan.~Moonchime
Interested in where this info came from — i.e., is it the Harringtons deciding to release info on their own or was it released with LE approval?
Thank you for clearing that up. So we now that they are definitely not unisex and the she very well could have been wearing them above the knee. I don’t know what kind of socks she was wearing but I could see her wearing something with a funky design or even those toes socks!
This is where I mailed my rock to:

“Morgan’s ROCKS”
P.O. Box 4492
Charlottesville, VA 22905
I’m not certain if the rock is coming to your PO Box Fish–or Observer’s.
I’m sorry for any confusion. Thanks!~Moonchime
Excited to see new information coming out! Thanks, Blink!
While quickly checking into BOC today, this is about the last thing I expected to see. Now we finally know about the boots, and the alleged sighting of Morgan with 4 BIB’s, and it all seems so much more credible. Meanwhile, we’ve been focusing on random POI’s, and know nothing of the identities of these 4. If this info had been released, and the eye-witness account taken seriously, soon after Morgan’s disappearance, it may have sparked the memories of others at the concert who saw them and could help identify them. Now, too much time has passed, memories get fuzzy, and people are less likely to come forward. This angers me more than anything else about the investigation, that this important bit of info might have made a difference, if it had only been released to the public sooner. So, this prompts the question, why now?
Ugh! Please excuse the poor spelling/grammar in my above post! I think I got a little too excited about the new article, I didn’t even read it before I hit submit! YIKES!!!
Blink is this information you are releasing or is the VSP involved in the distribution of this information? I ask because Im hoping you are “teaming” with the Harringtons to get something moving along tip wise. Thanks!
Blink, Do you have or are aware of any pics of Morgan actually wearing those boots? Perhaps from the open FB opportunity?
Unfortunately, the only comments I am making about the boots are in the article.
B
Does anyone know whether Morgan’s actual boots were recovered?
Thank you for the update, Blink, and thank you Gil Harrington for the confirmation. Let’s hope this image jogs someone’s memory.
I would guess that the longer she was outside in the cold, the more likelihood there was of Morgan pulling those boots up as high above the knee as they would go.
My best friend (in her early 50s) LIVES in those boots in the winter. Wears them to professional conferences, with jeans to the pub, etc. They are classy boots, and just what I was envisioning until there was all this low-heeled lace-up stuff that I thought was attributed to Gil.
So should we also go back and try to figure out where that red herring info came from?
(The relevance of the distinctive sock info is a little disturbing. Please tell me that you just added that for a personal touch.)
For two reasons I hesitate to put this reminder out there, but you know you can search people by their workplaces, right? It’s a start.
Where did all those other “lace up, low heel” (if memory serves) “unisex” boot descriptors come from?
What’s with all the misinformation? Deliberate?
You got me, I think it was interpretation.
B
I am going to be supportive and surmise the only reason this was not disclosed previously was to preserve investigative integrity. If that proves not to be the case, and no one obtained an accurate boot description for 166 days after Morgan disappeared, then this investigation is flawed. Personally, I always wondered why an accurate description of the boots was never supplied to the people who were supposed to be looking for her. It does make a difference.
Dear Blink,
Thank you for all you do. We do appreciate.
I hope you and family are well.

I went back and re-read the Hook article Blink links in the above article. It makes me wonder whether the four guys in black were also denied re-entry or were kicked out. It sounds like Morgan may have believed that if the door patrol would just not notice her, she might get back in–so she grabs onto a guy’s arm and says lets go (meaning, pretend we are together for a minute so i can get back in). This makes me wonder if she had the ability to purchase another ticket or had already purchased another ticket (Does anyone know if they were sold out?) and was denied entry because the door guards interpreted her as too ______ (drunk, angry, whatever).
If the guys in black were also kicked out, two things come to mind. There must be some records kept of people kicked out or at least someone must remember kicking out a group of four guys, assuming they were together (which conceivably they might not have been until bonding outside the arena after getting kicked out). Security must remember some of the people they kicked out. I am sure they kicked out a lot of guys dressed in black (of course) but how many as a group of four?
Second, it makes me think that it sure would have been easy for these guys to convince Morgan to go looking for ticket scalpers with them, then bring her to the bank to get money for a ticket, then not return to the concert at all.
I take it that this photo is not The Boot but exatly what kind of boot she did where.
Were they able to retrieve ALL of her clothing at the scene of where her body was found ? Did they find both of her boots there ?
So many questions.. So little answers.
Redrock, I’m with you in trying to believe that the misinformation was allowed out there (or disinformation was deliberately PUT out there) in order to vet witnesses. But man oh man, if it wasn’t…it’s just maddening.
Hopefully it was LE releasing a tidbit to quell our frustration (if they indeed met with the Harringtons the other day), because these little nuggets at least give us something new to wrestle about.
So…I take it the whole “socks” thing means that her socks (and maybe tights?) were not found at the remains site?
gas bag ordained comment from the hook :My most vocal opinion has always been that Morgan Harrington was placed in harm’s way because of the manner in which her desire to re-enter the stadium was handled. If just one member of the John Paul Jones staff had taken a little more interest in Morgan’s particular circumstances in requesting re-entry, the entire outcome would have been different. And Morgan Harrington would still be alive most likely. I’m mad as hell that the John Paul Jones arena turned a small young girl out on the streets of Charlottesville and Albemarle County, on foot, to fend for herself.Gasbag Self Ordained Expert March 18th, 2010 | 11:09 am ,*****i second this emotion*****,after reading kay’s recent revelation that the “no re-entry ” signs at jpja are not that prominent,i bring this issue up again.i worked the ticket counter at amc movie theatre as a teen ,the re-entry policy was covered in training.emergency,unusual circumstance,were sited as exceptions,example given: an on call doctor who leaves his pager in his car and needs to go get it.(it was said that the old arena or an arena at jmu or vt does have a in/out system,and morgan frequented that arena,so confusion,and being out of town w/friends inside with keys to car in parking lot,says special circumstance to me),susan, re what the crowd (kickee,bib)were doing right outside ,gives rise to question:was the box office closed for business,no more tickets even though mettallica had not taken stage?cameras at the entrances are mandatory.i have been so sad realizing this happened because morgan was not allowed back to her seat,and was put out to pasture in the parking lot.i saw alice in wonderland,those twirly unicorn curls,couldnt help but think of morgan.
I guess this puts to rest the “Morgan’s boots were found behind buffalo wild wings or on the train tracks” rumors?
They were not.

OK I am just going to put this out there:
RMC Events and JPJ Arena:
I am looking at your staffs right now. Do you perform background checks on every staff member? Have you spoken with staff who worked 10/17?
Speak up now or get someone to speak for you.
I would hope that by now LE has gone over every event or staff worker at the site.
The location of the cell phone less a battery dictates it.
TO Moonchime/others, re: the P.O. Box – Please see my latest post on the most recent thread.
IMHO, this release serves one of two purposes, or possibly both:
1.) An effort to drum up more possible witnesses from the night of Oct. 17th.
2.) The boots have NOT been located, thus putting this information out there in the event that someone may have seen them somewhere since, or finds them discarded at another location.
I suppose a third hypothesis could be that the boots WERE located sometime AFTER the 17th, and LE wants to know if anyone saw them in another person’s possession.
Blink, I know you can’t answer much about this release- but can you at least state who released this? LE or the Harringtons themselves?
I am with you Redrock -
I commend Blink on obtaining this information, but where was it 166 days ago? This information should have been provided to the public by LE in October. Seriously, how long would it have taken LE to take the initiative to do what Blink did?
Unfortunately, I believe we are at a point where witness memory may not be capable of providing accurate detail. I certainly “hope” other evidence has surfaced that will ID those responsible. If not, I feel horribly for the Harringtons.
I thought she was wearing “Doc Martins”?
Am I remembering wrong?
It was right about 9pm when we were driving down Massie Road with JPJ to left,” says a Richmond bookkeeper/musician whose late arrival prevented her from hearing opening acts Gojira and Lamb of God— but got her there in time to spot a “wobbly” blonde woman step in front of the car.
http://www.readthehook.com/blog/index.php/2009/11/15/concerned-witnesses-before-hitching-morgan-harrington-caused-worry/
————
If she was on Massie and JPJ was on her left, she was heading back to Rt 29 or Emmet St. She must have “driven around the block” and come back in via Copley Rd to get into the UHaul parking lot in order to see this group of 5 in Lannigan Field.

“I know what I saw,” says Norma Parson, a newspaper delivery woman who believes she saw Morgan– or an incredible lookalike— coming out of a room on UVA’s West Lawn at 3:45am October 18, six hours after the last confirmed sighting on Copeley Bridge.
“She was tall and thin,” says Parson, who says the woman’s high black boots had heels making her appear taller than Morgan’s reported height of 5′6″ and that she wasn’t wearing the black hose or tights police have described.
Because the woman also was wearing a jacket that was fastened shut, Parson says, she couldn’t determine whether the woman’s blonde hair, which was tucked inside, was long or short. But as the blond woman— accompanied by three young men, two shorter, one taller— passed by her in the well-lit brick walkway along the Lawn, she says, she got a clear look at her face, and her heavily made-up eyes, in particular. She says the woman’s presence in the wee hours of a chilly night— and her bare legs— seized her attention.
“I thought, ‘What’s she doing out here dressed like that,’” Parson recalls. When she learned of Harrington’s disappearance two days later and saw photographs of heavy mascara- and eyeliner-wearing Morgan, “I knew immediately it was the same girl I saw,” says Parson, who credits art training for teaching her to examine facial details— even those she sees in passing. “I never had a moment’s doubt,” she insists.
Evidence experts, however, say that even the most earnest and certain witnesses can err.
“It’s well established that confidence and accuracy are not clearly correlated,” says UCLA Law Professor Jennifer Mnookin, an evidence expert. Mnookin says that’s the reason police confirm every alleged sighting and look for multiple witnesses or surveillance tapes before releasing new reports.
“The mind isn’t a camera,” she says. “Recollections can be affected in all kinds of ways by other information, by what we want to believe, by other biases.”
The female student who lives in the room Parson identified did not respond to repeated inquiries from a reporter, but a neighboring student says police interviewed him and his neighbors following Parson’s tip.
“There is no blond girl who lives along this stretch,” says John Griffin, a Fourth Year engineering student, who lives next door, near Pavilion VII.
Griffin says these rooms are among the quietest on the Lawn and that neither he nor the woman whose room the Morgan lookalike was allegedly seen exiting were home on concert night. In fact, he notes, the Colonnade Club, which occupies Pavilion VII, was busy that night, and Griffin wonders if Parson may have simply seen wedding guests. “There were people from that party all up and down here that weekend,” he recalls.
Parson says she remains frustrated that police have not allowed her to identify the men she saw with the woman— particularly because she saw one on a subsequent night on the Lawn.
“I just want them to let me identify who I saw,” says Parsons, who now fears that her status as a potential witness may have put her in danger as she makes her middle-of-the-night newspaper rounds. But law expert Mnookin points out that police are limited when it comes to identifying people who haven’t committed a crime.
————————
How does John Griffin know for certain that the girl next door was home or not that night since he was not home. And again, if he was not home, how would he know there was a wedding? Has the girl who lives there been questioned by LE?
And why doesn’t LE believe this woman? Is there a reason she is not a credible witness?
Thank you Moonchime for that post. I had lost track of where to send rocks, I can’t keep up. I will send our Shiny Girl a rock. All rocks from here have tiny unseen flecks of gold.

I agree 100%. I was watching a show on Investigation Discovery and they were hunting down a sexual predator, when they finally found him he was working as security in downtown L.A. I instantly thought of Morgan as he was arrested while on duty in his black uniform. Why aren’t these people’s background investigated thoroughly???
Kathy
in memory of gini,i originaly questioned her(richmond bookkeeper) story due what would seem to be lack of ability to see all that way into the rv lot ,i thought ,for someone who was late, she spent alot of effort (in vantage point)it seems.blink’s hypothesis of her knowing kickee was interesting.
I know if someone were kicked by those boots, it would leave a mark I would need to explain.

Blink, this just ticks me off —
Don’t take offense at what I am about to say —
But why does it take a woman in NJ, for pity sake, to release info on missing Morgan — you had the scoop on the BB players — the manner in which her remains were found (but kept that to yourself) — and now this —
LE just assumed Morgan had hooked up w/ some guy and when she was done drugging, drinking and screwing she’d pop back up and say: gee, sorry for all the hullabaloo !
Every member of LE from every jurisdiction from the beginning dropped the ball in this case — and I’m not willing to give any of ‘em a pass –
They should have advised the Harringtons on the preservation of her bedroom, her car, her apt just on the outside ‘chance’ she wasn’t coming home —
Why is it left to the Harringtons and to you, Blink, to release information
I’m sure some form of LE in all their great wisdom advised the Harringtons not to release any specific info in the beginning of this case so when the bad guy is caught in a day or two, they’ll have credible information to “prove” they were w/ Morgan —
Those damn friends — whom I know have pictures of her that night — should have given those to LE and the Harringtons immediately, and those pictures should have immediately been released to the public —
The Harringtons are better people than me — they’ve taken the high road on every aspect of this case, including those awful Westboro people —
Blink, do you think you could interview Ms. Parsons — the newspaper lady —
I mean, the Richmond bookkeeper was just shot down because she kept insisting the boots were above the knee — turns out, guess what, she was right — it was cold that night and poor little Morgan wasn’t any bigger than a peanut, her little skinny legs were probably freezing and she turned her boots up —
and now the info about the socks —
Announcement to C-vlle — if you find cutesy socks, turn ‘em in to LE because they’re probably related —
oh, by the way — it’s April — 5 months later
And Farmer Bass stated he saw “toes” so if Morgan’s boots and socks were w/ her, they were no longer on the body —
now, I can fully understand that her boots may have come off once her body deteriorated — if they were leather, it is absolutely possible there was animal predation — they could have grabbed them and her foot slipped right out — but socks ?
I’m certainly not an expert, but I don’t think the material, especially if any of the sock material was synthetic, would have degenerated even in the worst weather conditions in the three months until she was found ….
LE screwed this case up from the beginning — probably in some kind of jurisdictional pissing contest —
I went back to the very beginning of Blink’s posts in this case — her instinct at that time was that the perp either was current or past LE or had some kind of LE training — now w/ seemingly all of the surrounding county LE, rescue squad, fire depts related to each other — it’s very possible a family member, even distant, assisted those who did this horrible crime in placing that body —
This whole situation just disgusts me —
As usual, great reporting job, Blink — and especially great for you standing your ground and not backing down when you are just ripped by other sites —
I’m not in any way a Biblical scholar — especially in the Old Testament — too gory for me — but I have a friend who is — and she dissected this story for me and now it’s one of my favorites
Back in the Old Testament — when King David and his descendants were getting ready to go to war — he believed he had God on his side — so usually what happened was — a few days before the big war battle was to start — the king would send a messenger to the other side stating that God was on his side, and God had given his army strength to defend all enemies and that if the enemy wanted to do battle w/ God’s people, then they would lose and be wiped off the face of the earth — a lot of times those guys backed down and decided they were happy w/ the land they had —
But on the occasion where they had to go into battle — their boots would literally be spiked into the ground so that they could not retreat in battle — it’s where the expression: “feet firmly planted on the ground” comes from —
That’s what you have done, Blink, you have spiked your feet to the ground and you are standing firm until there is justice for all victims who cannot speak for themselves. Thank God Morgan has you for a friend.
Love, Sky
OMG woman you hit my bullseye, I heart you, and feel your angst.

if i go with the bib ,then ,1.they can”t get in ,cuz bo is closed,2.they get kicked out (fighting ,maybe),3.they are the friends morgan is looking for , 4.they are reason she goes outside.5.they are on tape (or not) 6.at least one them claims to have given her a ride somewhere.7.one of them could be rso.or indirect friends with rso ,—they are around entrance as morgan’s can’t re-enter,she got angry about not getting back in after third try ,kickee interfers at wrong moment with wrong sounding ,hey baby!she stomps off they follow ,she regains composure,trys to laugh it off,they go to their car (cars),she continues on ,they meet again ,at copely bridge.8.as someone else also said the above the other day (with a they were there drug dealing angle.summation: any of the above combinations?
I know if someone were kicked by those boots, it would leave a mark I would need to explain.

From the hook article
“It wasn’t the last time the Richmond woman saw the young blonde. After she, her husband, and friend parked near U-Hall, she says, she saw the same group of five gathered around a vehicle in the RV Lot, or Lannigan Field overflow parking lot— the spot where Morgan’s purse and phone were found and one of the last places police have officially placed her.”
Assuming this is accurate, it would make sense that she also noticed what type or color the vehicle was.
Further, it would seem that there would have to be other witnesses to this. Someone else would have to have seen Morgan so conspicuously hanging out with these boys.
Personally, I do believe that this witness saw Morgan that night. I don’t think Granny or Mrs. Parsons saw Morgan, but they think they did.
I also believe the account of the man who claims she took his arm and tried to kick him after he brushed her off. I doubt seriously that these two are collaborating in any way to deflect attention away from them.
She got in a car with someone that she had spent time with in the past minutes.
Hey — call out to Blinkers — Total Am, Fish, Acho, Suz, Judi, and everyone else whose name I can’t remember — sorry, don’t take offense, just that brain freeze thing — if you want to join our FB you can make up an email — I just went to msn.com — email me at skyboc@hotmail.com, we’ll send you an invite — it is very private and secure — no public postings

What has always bothered/frustrated me about the sighting on the lawn is the fact that the only angle they come from is “there’s no girl with blond hair that lives on the lawn”…but that doesn’t mean there aren’t guys that live in that area that go out, meet girls, bring them back to their rooms/apt to party and then the girls leave with others in the middle of the night due to whatever reason. Maybe they were walking to another person’s apt or something. Just because no girl lives in that area doesn’t mean that that sighting OR the occupants of those dorms/apts should be considered irrelevant. I think as a common civilian with no LE training aside from Law and Order & Dexter (hardly credible and snarking btw) it would be completely irresponsible of LE NOT to look into possible guys & girls that attended the concert or were with friends that did who live in those apts.
>>How does John Griffin know for certain that the girl next door was home or not that night since he was not home. And again, if he was not home, how would he know there was a wedding? Has the girl who lives there been questioned by LE?
I don’t know how he would know whether she was home or not — but even I knew about the wedding — it was huge — they brought in a charter bus to bring in guests probably parked in another location — there was a huge tent set up on the lawn and more than likely there had been some info given to students in advance — or he could have spoken w/ someone afterward — but good question on the how does he know she wasn’t at home –
The Toes mentioned by Bass says it all.
There is a good chance that the boots were not with the body unless she was attacked at the location that the body was found.
I have never discounted the sighting by the Parson woman.
From the beginning
I have always considered the kind of personality who works as secuity..
Now that I know about the boots I really question the rest of the clothing.
Virgina has a sierial killer who has been working this area for some time. This guy can’t be trown out.
Many Broken bones indicates ANGER and the possible use of weapon like a baseball bat or other item.
Sports players.. and security guards may have items to do this type of damage to a body.
I get lost in the thread here but that is what was on my mind.
Good luck everyone.
Sue,
I’m so glad you’re back on site!
After Morgan was found we speculated on the boots being removed after Farmer Bass said he saw Morgan’s toes.
We thought an animal could have done it
We thought Morgan may have done it, because she was trying to get comfortable
We thought the BG did it because Morgan would have used them as weapons kicking-
She may have also used a a weapon trying to hit at BG
Someone, I’m sorry can’t remember who said Morgan’s boots weren’t High heeled- They were on the search and told to look for a chunky heeled boot.
Morgan’s Mom said her daughter was wearing below the knee Doc Martin style Boots
What this says to me, is after Morgan left her parents home she traveled to her apt and changed her boots- What this has me asking is- Did she also change her outfit- to something else- and add a coat?
Morgan wouldn’t be the first daughter to change her attire after her mother’s opinion- So who can tell us exactly what Morgan was wearing? And what else have we yet to find out isn’t exactly the way it was reported?
Thanks for the up to date reporting Blink- If you keep running down the truth we’ll keep running down the truth
I keep meaning to answer this and I keep forgetting —
The concert was NOT sold out — there were seats available in the upper tiers — the floor was sold out literally w/in minutes — but — there were people trying to sell their floor seats for over $500 apiece in the days just before the concert on ebay — I know this because my kid did something and I swore I was gonna sell those tickets —
I’ve read there were tickets on Craigslist — I did not read it myself, so can’t confirm that —
It was my understanding the box office was open — because of two reasons: some people had “to call” or “to pick up” tickets at the box office — where they bought them online and were going to pick them up at the box office (it was that way w/ Celtic Woman, too — saw them redirecting people to the “will call” line) — and it was my understanding they were still selling tickets up until the box office closed, which I have no way of knowing when that was —
I read a post from someone who stated her daughter was working the box office that night — that things were slow and she left around 9:30-ish and drove across Copeley around 9:30-ish — no HHg Morgan — I also began to doubt myself as to the time frame I was on that bridge thinking: well, it had to be sooner than 9:30 — but I don’t think it was — I think it was right around 9:30 the last time — because when I did the second u-turn, instead of going straight for some reason I turned left, then saw the sign for Emmett Rd and said out loud: Oh, thank God ! — I KNOW it was Copeley road because at that time there was no traffic behind me and I looked around and tried to get my bearings and look at the street signs — it was dark and rainy and hard to see them — and it was the Wachovia bank on the corner that kept throwing me off — I have Wachovia and had stopped at a Wachovia ATM to get money when we arrived in Cvlle and I kept thinking it was the same bank — there’s also a church across Ivy
I’m hoping the fBI will start anew and go back and re-interview those witnesses who put her on Copeley bridge HHg — because if the post is true about the daughter in the box office driving over the bridge around 9:30 and no Morgan — and I drove over that bridge around 9:30 no Morgan (which I gave to the VSP the next day and was quite emphatic I did not see her) — maybe she was never on that bridge except perhaps to walk across it at some point on that day — even if the dogs pick up her scent, it doesn’t place her there at any time — she could have walked over the bridge when they arrived around 6 PM to go to the ATM and they didn’t want to drive to lose their parking space —
All I can say is to repeat: thank God for Blink (and all you adorable, brilliant Blinkers)
Hello All:
First I would like to commend Blink for this thread! You are BRILLIANT. We just needed that extra smell of cheese that you just brought in.
The boot style had to have have been mis-identified. *If, I am working this working this theory correctly, Mrs. Parson’s description of the boots possibly could not have correct. Nor Could the Accountant/Bookkeepers description.
Why you ask?
Because then, oh my, then, that puts Morgan on the LAWN. The boot style is wrong by both accounts.
Morgan couldn’t have been last seen on the lawn. She had to either be HH, or with the BB players.
Today, with this thread, opens up a whole new and refreshing theory. Like, springtime and being in the Garden. A big garden.
***just nibbling a bit.
A Northern Garden even.
B
I have seen boots like these before that you can fold the top down like shown and can also put it up which would probably make it at or above the knee it is possible.
Darn you, Blink — couldn’t you have posted this when it’s raining — I’m glued to the computer and should be outside messing w/ plants — : )
Momo — great questions — were the Harringtons told by LE to give a different description so when they found her abductor in the next day or two, if that person stated something different they could confirm –
of course, you are absolutely correct — she could have changed — the only thing about the rest of her outfit comes from the mouth of Sara Snead — that beacon of truth telling herself —
it was a FB response to people identifying Dee as Morgan, and Sara replied that she knew Dee, that the pix was not of Morgan, because Morgan was wearing “hose” – she said “hose” not tights — not that it makes a big difference —
Edward, I got that sick feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you hear bad news when I read your post about the speculation of the weapon being a bat —
I’m not mentioning any names, but who among the concert attendees plays college-level baseball ?
Lord, poor Morgan
She only wanted to look cute — and yes, even sexy; if I looked like her, baby, I’d flaunt it, too — and party w/ her “friends” listening to a band she’d waited months to see –
Easter is a time of miracles for many different religions — May this Easter bring the Harringtons the miracle of finding and arresting her killers –
If the newspaper lady sees a chick wearing a coat and thigh-high boots, where is that bare skin that worries her? Seems to me the blond’s legs would be practically covered.
I’m still thinking the kickee exaggerated things a bit, and then we have exaggerated the rest for him. I think —based on his description — that it was more like she kicked AT him. Maybe even playfully. Obviously I don’t know. It’s just my read and could be wrong. But here’s a refresher of what he said:

Outside the Arena, another concertgoer says, he was on the southeast side of the building waiting for late-arriving friends to meet him around 9pm when he heard a “commotion” at an entrance.
“It was some shouting,” says the 44-year-old man who’d traveled from Fredericksburg to Charlottesville and who asked not to be identified because of the high profile nature of the case. Moments after the shouting stopped, he says that a young woman with long blond hair and dressed all in black— including, he says, a black Pantera t-shirt like the one Morgan was reportedly wearing— approached him, put her arm out, bent, as though to walk arm in arm with him, and said, “Let’s go.”
“It seemed somewhat aggressive,” he says.
Waiting for his friends and concerned that her behavior seemed “unusual,” he says, he declined and turned to walk away. The young woman responded, he says, by cursing at him and kicking him.
“It wasn’t that hard,” he says of the kick, but it was disturbing enough that he immediately called his girlfriend to relate the encounter.
“She told me I should call the police and report her,” he says. “Now I wish I had.” The concertgoer, who now believes the commotion he heard was Morgan being denied re-entry to the Arena, says he reported the encounter to police on Monday, October 19, when he learned of the disappearance. Police have confirmed that Morgan ended up outside the Arena sometime around 8:20pm and made multiple attempts to re-enter. Security at the 16,000-seat facility is outsourced to RMC Events, a Richmond-based firm with a Charlottesville office. Company President Dan Schmitt has declined comment, referring questions to Arena management, who have also declined comment.
Those are the original cool pirate boots I think we first thought she was wearing. Aren’t they?
Not quite, but very close.

2 is always better than one in Springtime! Agreed. I really like the smell of this cheese Blink, but I’m afraid it is too expensive. A little on the high end. I’m even afraid to even sample it.
Both witness accounts, independent of each other corraborated that the boots had high heels. The opposite was published and promoted, which was successfull on placing Morgan AWAY from the LAWN.
I learned a new word today. It doesn’t rhyme with garden, but it works. “pedoagogical”.
Oye vey. Let’s just try to keep perspective

WOW! Chad! And, Blink’s gonna solve this case! How about Observer prosecuting it?!? Finally, hope for justice for Morgan!
