North Garden, VA– Morgan Harrington, the 20 year old fair-haired, radiant beauty, was brutally murdered after disappearing from the John Paul Jones arena the evening of October 17, 2009.
Morgans remains were recovered the morning of January 26, 2010 in a hayfield on Anchorage Farm, owned by David and Nancy Bass.
Since Morgan was found by Mr. Bass that blackest of days in January, there has been rampant speculation about her last hours and how she ended up in the creek bed of total strangers.
A sequence of events and incidents in the days and hours preceding and following the January 26, 2010, discovery of Morgan Harrington’s skeletal remains on Anchorage Farm continues to attract attention from pundits and volunteers dedicated to Morgan’s cause.
Although naysayers point to a lack of a viable connection, and police have disavowed a link, others say emergency services runs to a nearby fire and also other responses which are not supported by publicly available documentation has led to calls for more complete disclosure to eliminate any connection or chance of prank calls to misdirect or busy first responders.
The editors of www.blinkoncrime.com present a series of events occurring in Albemarle County, VA that pose the question:
What the Hell is going on and what does it have to do with Morgan Harrington’s murder?
The Monsoons of Albemarle County …. PD
Ok, maybe I meant “The monsoor”. Karl Monsoor that is.
Former Officer Karl Monsoor had been tugging on the shirtail of ACPD for years before he finally left with pocketfuls of sunshine. Almost 500 G’s.
It is not my intention to be glib, it is my intention to say that as one of the youngest police departments in the country, enacted in 1983, this tank needed algeacide before this past March.
Death By Cop.. January 1, 2010
Colby Eppard, described by some as a cross between Gomer Pyle and cool hand luke, had the rawest of deals growing up in Greene County.
According to his foster-mommy-aunt, Tammy Harlow Cox, Colby was hit by a car at a very young age and suffered a brain injury that apparently served to shape his future of home upheavel and juvenile detention facilities.
Ms. Cox, to whom Colby Eppard was entrusted for a time as a foster parent, is no stranger to the judicial system. Tammy was arrested for admittedly having sex with 3 High School seniors athletes on the Varsity Football Team, where her own sons attended. The same school Colby elected to leave without his diploma.
Colby’s family recalls better times, and I don’t think anyone believes this is the last we have heard of this case.
Specifically under VA statute, Greene County Captain Randall Snead was out of his jurisdiction, both when he was called about Colby stealing the patrol car and the fact that he was in North Garden, Albemarle County, looking for it. It would seem the Greene County Roster could accommodate a deputy vs. a captain to respond, no? Keep in mind, EVERY responding officer was put on desk duty pending the investigation, through at least February 9th, 2010.
While the attorney for the Commonwealth, Denise Lunsford has cleared all officers from all participating counties involved, none of the dash cams have been released despite requests through The Freedom of Information Act..
According to Ms. Lunsford, in an incident that spanned almost 70 miles and over 2 and a half hours where traffic was rerouted and stringers were used, Colby Eppard was allegedly wielding the 20 gauge Greene County Issue out the windows, not one LEO attempted to engage or respond to Eppard in an effort to get him to pull over, or negotiate his surrender at any time.
In fact, according to statements from Snead, Albemarle Deputies Fields and Marden, they were all in place on the south junction of 20 “in the event” he went that way, yet, they did not block traffic until after the stinger caused Eppard to crash.
My biggest question regarding this incident is: Did anyone ask Colby Eppard why he would take the truck and 2 rifles on New Years day ending up in Albemarle County?
Was it related to a New Years Eve occurrance of a friend, family member or associate of his? After Sgt. Hutchinson loses Eppard near the Nelson line, the next time he is seen is parked on Green Creek Rd, back in Albemarle.
What route did he take from 29 South to end up there? Was he seeking Red Hill Road where the overdose call came in to EMS the night before?
By all accounts he was a troubled young man with challenges throughout his young 18 years.
Additionally corroborated by those that knew him, he was never violent to anyone. There were over 6 Law Enforcement Officers from 4 different jurisdictions this man encountered before he hit just below Carters Bridge; 14 by the time the stolen vehicle ended up in the ditch.
Not one of them spoke or attempted to speak to Colby Wade Eppard at anytime he was on the police radio for over 2 hours. Was there an order given not to?
How is it that not one officer responded to Eppards threats, which were even being monitored by the media at this point in an effort to have a peaceful result to this situation?
Did Eppard have a cell phone with him and have the records been checked?
Did he call anyone, like Amber Rogers, his off-again girlfriend of 3 years? His brother Courtney or any of his friends?
In the preliminary release by the Virginia State Police, it stated Eppard returned to his crashed 2006 Ford Ranger truck prior to stealing the unmarked Green Cty car. If he were attempting to have a police stand off, why would he not take the two rifles he brought with him? He left his guns behind.
It also states in the report that Eppard is seen on the video from the STOLEN police car retrieving the shotgun from the trunk and loading it, how is that possible considering all the cameras are dash mounted?
Can someone explain to me how the officers have been cleared, but the footage of both Eppards actions and their responses, the very evidence of the incident cannot be released? One of the officers involved, Caleb Marden, was fired for reasons nobody is willing to comment on.
There is only ONE way that is legal; if is part of an ONGOING investigation.
So what investigation is it an active part of?
(Editors note: If Mr. Eppard put ANYONE’s safety at risk through his actions, in the end, I say what happened to him was done to protect others, which I support. That said, as it was not so long ago a Virginia Conservation Officer was indicted for the involuntary manslaughter of a 16 year old kid whose girlfriend he was trying to grab out of his moving car, and later had the charges dismissed, I think it is worthy of conversation.)
Byrd Watching DungSmoke – January 22, 2010
James Byrd Gunn, resident or squatter at 5027 Stoney Point Rd, Barboursville, VA owned by Piedmont Manor Land Trust, was busted for possession of Marijuana with intent to deliver, and possession of a firearm as a felon.
TODAY, Mr. Big Gunn is on the Run-Run. He was indicted on both counts Monday and declared a fugitive this afternoon.
CR10000107-00 GUNN, JAMES BYRD POSSESS MARIJUANA W/INTENT 06/07/2010 Active
CR10000169-00 GUNN, JAMES BYRD FELON W/ A FIREARM 04/08/2010 Fugitive
In a SEPERATE arrest on January 23rd, 2010, Jeremy Manning– Smith 
(JMS) with the cool 144 acre pad in Keswick, also indicted on 4/5/2010 , may turn to the fivefold plan to help him out. JMS keeps a cool $55K recession-proof wad around for emergencies. Mr. Manning-Smith is a long time composter, although he never really states what he is growing.
Lisa Powers, copperworks and the fivefold planners say burn the dung. They are pals, although I doubt she is securing his bond.
Cash Runs OUT.. January 24th, 2010
Jason Todd Cash, with NO CHARGES OR WARRANTS PENDING allegedly tries to kill a cop when he is stopped in Nelson Cty in a vehicle registered to someone in Buckingham County. Remind you of anyone? He ran from the scene, leaving the vehicle and eluded police on foot.
The vehicle was impounded. He apparently is driving on a revoked license, which county has that occurred in? We will get back to J-money.
NON Garden Party…. January 25th
At approximately 10PM on the evening of January 25, Albemarle County Fire and rescue services responds to a call at the 37 acre farm of award winning gardening and horticulture experts John Sauer and his wife Cathy Clary. It is listed as a tactical incident rescue and as of March 24, 2010 is still an open incident. What was it? Who or what needed rescuing?
Mr. Sauer is the long-time gardner for Carr’s Hill, the residence of the President of UVA. Carr’s Hill was the former site of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity until 2003 when it was moved by the city to it’s current location on Culbreth. Ms. Clary is a horticulture proffessor at UVA, and most recently taught a home landscaping course which included a field trip the afternoon of Saturday October 17, 2009.
The Sauers are also members of Piedmont Landscaping Association, which is open to anyone in the landscaping field and the Virginia Cooperative Extension.
Interestingly enough, there were several fire alarm activations on the UVA campus on this same day. Faulkner House reported a residential fire around 4:10 am.
Threes Company, Four is Combustible..Jan 26th
Sometime after 10PM, the residential fire at 3323 Sutherland Rd breaks out.
This would be the fire that is still an OPEN INCIDENT.
This fire,as you can see, was no curling-iron-left-on.
It allegedly started after the residents were asleep, although they had all apparently packed their belongings and were on a month to month lease, 2 had already moved out.
In fact, according to Peruvian vacationer and dog owner of Blanca, the pit bull that perished in the blaze, he was not aware of the fire until days after the fact because he was with friends in Peru.
Convenient, if you ask me, as he has a previous weed distribution and subsequent traffic charge in December 2009.
Meet new pup to the left. In fairness to fair-weather k9’s of America, he was only asking for dog-sitting, and not on the lease. Choose your kenneling wisely people.
The residential fire at the 3000 block of Sutherland Rd has some issues. For starters, you have the first press release regarding the possible accidental fire since as far back as 2003 before a cause determination has been made.
Additionally the release itself appears to have missed the fact that approximately 2 hours after the last apparatus departs, there is an additional call back to the property requiring 12 responders within minutes of the discovery of Morgan Harrington’s remains. They may have literally passed each other on Route 29; they definitely would have heard the dispatcher.
The former owner of the Sutherland property is buried on Anchorage Farm. A relative of the current owners has hunted the Anchorage Farm property.
The band in the image on the left is pictured practicing in the Sutherland home.
A firefighter, whose identity blinkoncrime is choosing to withhold, who fought the fire, without sleeping took an impromptu trip to New Jersey with his ..”aunt, uncle, cousin, his cousins uncle and a friend..” at 10:23PM January 27th, driving straight through without stopping and returned to North Garden by 1:45PM January 28th. Through his own facebook postings, he spends the bulk of his time when he is not volunteering for the North Garden Fire Department at his cousins; a Toco Hill address also listed as the home for a recently released registered sex offender.
Retired Greene Sheriff Takes His Own Life.. January 28
There is no evidence to suggest that William “Willie” Linwood Morris’s suicide has anything in common with the Morgan Harrington’s case directly, with the exception that there are obviously folks that knew him as well as other individuals being discussed. I have spoken with a family member, and an individual who has known him for twenty years and by those accounts Willie was in deep discomfort from the tinnicus he suffered from.
He took care of every detail prior to ending his life behind the barn on his farm in Stanardsville, VA, including withdrawing the cash for his own funeral.
Willie Morris was found by Captain Randall Snead, who was allegedly supposed to be on desk duty until the Eppard case investigation was completed. According to Commonwealth Attorney Denise Lunsford, that was not completed until February 9, 2010, almost 2 weeks later.
Cash is Busted on a Tip.. March 19
Not long out of Nelson County jail for a non-violent offense, Jason Todd Cash is being held in Albemarle County jail since his arrest around 1am the morning of Friday March 19.
One has to wonder if the tip about where Jmoney was hanging out on Secretary Sand Rd from his kin in Amherst.
Clint Cash, a registered sex offender was arrested in December on a felony parole violation and is facing some heavy time . His wife Donna, had just pled guilty to a misdemeanor the day before the tip came in regarding JT Cash’s whereabouts and received a suspended sentence.
Jason Cash was apprehended with help from Bink, the new Albemarle County k9 when the house he was staying in on Secretary Sands was raided and he attempted to stay hidden inside.
What are Coincidences… What are clues?
The aforementioned volunteer for NGVFD lives in same stretch of Secretary Sands Rd.
Yet another relative of Jason Cash, a registered Sex Offender, shares an employer with the cousin of “volunteer”, and volunteer; specializing in outdoor landscape lighting.
Colby Eppard was stopped in the area of Green Creek Rd that is a large parcel of land owned by Cash family member.
As far as making allegations in this report, there are none. The investigation of the events contained herein are entirely based on public information and witness accounts.
I have come to the conclusion that while we cannot say specifically which one of the issues discussed directly relate to the murder of Morgan Harrington, a primary or secondary scene integral to the investigation of same, and the hunt for her killer(s), but I do believe the incidents need to explored fully in a public forum.

Colby Eppard->CJ Morris->Wayne Townsend->Willie Morris->Randall Snead
What a tangled web we weave
Eppard, Morris, Townsend, Snead
Coincidence or Clue? Indeed…
Blink,
Good Job !!!! You got my vote. A very good read here. Hope the areas mentioned have lots of Motrin in their stores. Probably will be several headaches by lunch time. lol lol
Wow Blink, you sure have been busy, Congrats to all who worked so hard. It will take some time to digest this. Thanks-go rest.
Dear Blink,
Great job on what’s wrong with these stories. I did not realize how many people were staying so busy- OOPS! there goes the neighborhood! same bat channel , same bat time.
Hi Blink-
Is Randall Snead related to Sarah Snead?
TIA
Peggy
I can’t confirm that.
B
The photographic confirmation of a band playing at the former house on Sutherland, and scene of the Jan 26th blaze, would seem to designate it as a “party house”. Now, who knows what band that is?
Thank you for the credit Blink ~ that was very kind of you and I appreciate it.
Blink, great article BTW ~ you did not disappoint, that’s for sure!
Blink, you are amazing people with amazing minds. Your service and that of your editors and posting researchers is immeasurable! Your efforts for Morgan and her family are nothing less than heroic! Thank you.
Hello Blink i don’t understand all correctly because of my little knowledges in english. I wiil read all again after work. For the Little i understood it looks like people connected to each others in somehow try to cover up something thats tied to our Morgan Harrington and her case? Greetings
Sorry for the typos : will not wiil:) i am writing with the phone its not easy:))He Write sometimes capital letters when i don’t want The Phone makes what He want like my dogs my Son and my husband…i am used to:))
I forgot: and the Horse!!!
clementine, i love your rhyme!
Sounds like Albemarle County should be called Cash County.
An area controlled by sex offenders, and corrupt police.
I just wish to say that I think corrupt is a harsh word, at this point I am prepared to say “flawed”.
I hope y’all give VSP a bit of slack as a result, this is what they are dealing with in this jurisdiction.
B
Hello Blink,
wow, just had to post and say congratulations on some great research.
No, all the dots don’t exactly connect – yet. But you have done an excellent job of pointing out some very suspicious “dots” –
1. you have pointed out deviations from the norm in the behavior of
certain police officials – thus a pattern of deception may emerge.
2. you have pointed out individuals who are connected either by vicinity or land ownership, thus a pattern may emerge.
You mention drugs. I have long thought drugs were at the core of much of this. No, not Morgan per se. But Morgan may have known certain people or ABOUT certain illegal activity that may have made her a danger to certain individuals. Remember the boys in Mena, Arkansas murdered on the train tracks?
Now, we need to further connect the above strange goings on with the dozen or so missing or murdered persons in this area beginning with
Childs and Metzler in Aug 2009 all the way through March of 2010.
Many of those missing, like Jennifer Adair, age 30 found dead on Nov 17, 2009, and Joan Renee Cook, age 45 missing on 1/24/10 –
were on prescription medication, according to web news articles.
Something strange is going on in around Roanoke/C-ville.
Here’s the clincher – something only an astrologer or someone handy with a Farmer’s Almanac would think to check.
Every one of these missing persons in the past 7 months has gone missing and/or died – EXACTLY ON THE DAY THE MOON WAS ENTERING A NEW PHASE, NEW, FIRST 1/4, LAST 1/4 OR FULL. Morgan disappeared on the New Moon, Oct 17th.
I’m not gonna pull a conspiracy story on you here, but suffice to say that those that have done their homework in such matters will sense where I’m leading with this. If it walks like a duck……..
Sometimes serial killers “take orders” from certain other powerful individuals who can’t afford to get their hands dirty, if you get my drift.
These murders are not randomly done folks. There’s a pattern here, and I can’t agree with the Harrington’s more – there is a connection between Morgan’s death and these (at least many) other killings in the area. Put the Harringtons, Blink and at least one honest investigator in a room together for 2 days and they would have this case solved!! Case closed.
You’ve hit paydirt Blink. You’re getting very, very warm and I hope your article makes somebody nervous Monday morning.
Best wishes, back to lurking.
Sherlock
Thanks for the kind words Sherlock, nice to see you. However, I do not think Morgan’s murder is connected directly with any missing persons case to date. JMHO
B
blink….. I like the article. I post brief and remember posting this family tree a while back. Glad it bore some fruit
. FWIW.
I was driving Western Albe Co yesterday to see a pony…. Garth Road past Fox Field, the Country Story , Free Union, Buck Mountain Road…. I remember thinking what would be the route from Greene County to connect the dots
and oh it was such a beautiful day…. so sad that any one’s child missed it!
I can’t believe all the research that has been contributed to this new piece. I quickly read through it all and am not sure what to think. I will be looking forward to all your brilliant posters’ thoughts. I just hope there is something that sheds new light on Morgan’s murder. You, your coworkers and fellow posters have certainly completed an amazing amount of research. Great job!
Loni, it is okay. I am going to read-reread,rereread and English is my native language. I have lots of homework. What a mess.
Dig and dig and leave no rock unturned. Flush them all out.
Thank you for all your work Blink.

Can’t or won’t?
Loni, I always smile when reading your posts, can’t wait to read what you’re thinking when you get home from work. My phone does what it wants, too…just like my husband, sons, dogs, and horses.
I read this twice–don’t know how you’re keeping this straight. I need a map and a relationship tree! And trying to figure out the relevant timing of these events that began just BEFORE Morgan was found leaves me befuddled. It sure smells bad . . . so thanks for giving it some air.
are those joisy folks cousins of dave gardner?
Yes good work ,lots of grist for the mill . With the FBI and ATF active in the area i am assuming they are involved in investigating investigators in lower levels of LE plus working on non LE criminal cases . They must be as busy as a dogs hind leg in flea season as they try to dot the connections . The trip of 6 son stop on 27/28 Jan to New Jersey is intriguing . Maybe innocent ,maybe advice was sought ?? Cover trip for a delivery ??
Or say, trading a vehicle or dropping someone off. Could be anything.
B
OK, what an article from you and your team.
Thanks for tying it all together.
I have a question though…
*Will Commonwealth Attorney, Denise Lunsford,
be “The Man for the Job”,
when it comes time to prosecute whomever murdered Morgan Harrington?
And regarding the Eppard case, I do not want to believe that there would be a “coverup”, but in light of the “dash cams” not being release yet. One’s mind can go to that dark spot when the inconsistencies are not allowed to come to light.
Why would they go against the Freedom of Information Act, if all partcipants are cleared and there is not an active on-going investigation??? This just really stinks of something.
Also, Clementine, I personally believe that all of the above are related in some fashion. Including our Ms. Snead. They protect their own. That is obvious.
Also, Faulkner House!
Where have I heard that before.
http://www.virginia.edu/webmap/ENorthGrounds.html
Oh yea, M. Voth. Wasn’t she walking there on the night she witnesses Morgan HHing?? Maybe I am mistaken. Then it is my bad and I apologize. But I could have sworn I read that somewhere.
Can someone help me out?
Absolute corruption…Corrupts absolutely!
Blink, Please reaffirm that there are truly good and honest men and women of the VSP, that are investigating specifically Morgan’s murder and that they do not want the death of Morgan Harrington to be in vain and they are working for her and all of us in securing arrests!
It’s just that this was so, so violent, not like a death in a car crash or someother other manner of death. Yes, pain is pain but Morgan suffered and we need to be there for her and her family.
Thanks to all! Jason, Elizabeth, juliemooly, Klaasend and the so aptly named, Justice for Morgan!
I truly believe that we are all giving Morgan a voice that is to be heard and reckoned with!
I can confirm it is my belief that Rader and his team are dedicated detectives and assets that are committed to a prosecution in this case. This is an entire socio-economic study in of itself in this area.
B
Oh Boy.
Dear WORRIED GIRLFRIEND: Time to tell someone about all that weird behavior from your man. It’s been a roller coaster lately, I know. You really need to speak to someone … today is the perfect day.
Now:
This may be O/T, but Randy Snead inserts himself in a lot of stuff, huh? Seems he is a graduate of Albemarle High School. Why does he work for Greene Co and not Albemarle Co? Plenty of Albemarle LE live in the surrounding counties. Albemarle Co LE also pays better.
What is the interest in Colby Eppard that one would drive all the way from Stanardsville—on New Year’s Day—down to North Garden (which, despite its name, is in SOUTHERN Albemarle) to get in on that chase? Or was one already in North Garden to begin with?
Are we possibly extending our discussion to someone with ties to both North Garden and Schuyler?
Also:
Does Mr. Electrician know that he has an RSO working for him? Does he perform criminal background checks before he hires his people? Is he a franchisee, and if so, does his parent company expect him to do so?
NOTE TO CONTRACTORS: I expect contractors and vendors I hire, especially those who come to my home, to be vetted. I would not be calling the forementioned company for electrical help again, and henceforth, when I call contractors, I will be asking (a) if they perform background checks on all employees and (b) for the first and last names of the “technician” they plan to send to my residence.
I know I am being slightly O/T, but ENOUGH with letting these creeps into our homes. What is wrong with people that they would send criminals and/or RSOs into private residences, to work on plumbing and, even worse, electricity?
And Blink, if I read correctly, we have an **electrician** who fought the Sutherland fire and right after that made a middle-of-the-night trip to Jersey and back with his relatives?
My God. Has anyone asked him about this Jersey trip?
On Snead- He was a good 60mi out of his jurisdiction if I recall correctly, AND he was NOT in an active pursuit anyway (I don’t profess to know VA statute but here unless the suspect was wanted for a felony on an active warrant it would not have mattered) which would have limited his range to under 30 mile leeway regardless.. and he was in the only other unmarked car ( other than the stolen one) and he is the officer that requested the dispatcher advise everyone he was shooting. Why would he have needed to that anyway, wouldn’t they have all been on the same frequency?
You know, I don’t pretend to know what this kid was thinking, I am NOOOOOO protector of thugs or bad eggs. He reminds me of a case I had with a young man that had some emotional challenges through no fault of his own, and he was chronically taken advantage of, and put up to do things his cowardly ass friends would not want to get caught at. They ended up murdering him. This just smells the same to me.
That in no way excuses the risk he put to others, and LEO. For me, understanding the motive of the perp is critical to an investigation and I did not so much as see that question posed in Lunsford’s report.
What triggered this mess for Colby Eppard?
OMG I second the contractor issue. Landscape lighting in most cases is tied into the security systems, how would one even get bonded appropriately? Does it matter this is a franchise? Consumers need to ask the questions correctly when evaluating any individual or company that would have access to your home, and you and your family of course.
I have a good deal of past experience in this area, and I can tell you the best ones check backgrounds, and a felony conviction means your unable to work there. Most insurance companies require it, to my knowledge.
I have a good friend who designs golf courses for a living, you cannot believe the clearance he is required to have for that work..
I don’t know about who asked about the Jersey trip, but there are one or two extended members of this family that appear to be “away” based on facebook postings, but that does not mean anything nefarious.
B
I pray that this translates to this case is about to break wide open!, the hunters (Morgan’s hunters, that is) are now the hunted and their time is running out. I am hoping that the net that they have weaved for themselves is about to trap them and sooner rather than later, like today!!!
Justice for Morgan!!
Wow Blink! Lots of interesting
connections to ponder!!
Loni, your comments about
your phone, and family having a mind of
their own, made me laugh!
I also like Clem’s rhyme!
Bravo!
Blink, this astounding. Do we toss Occam’s razor out the window in regard to Morgan’s death?
For me, this supports it.
B
nice work … raises interesting issues and would require the community to truly evaluate the effectiveness of these ongoing investigations. did not know Snead found Morris dead. and Snead was also in the pursuit for Eppard? … i am beginning to see something significant here.
possible MH has a friend (girl), grew up with her, father of friend’s DAD has interest in MH … a little American Beauty story?
Shout out for J4M and J-Moo!
Also Blink’s Team!
Thanks for your time, and talents!
Thank you all for your understanding:-) Now i know i am not alone with this kind of Problems.:-) And to better understand this post i will wait to read all of your post it helps me often better to understand it all. Thank you everyone

Hi Blink-
Is Randall Snead related to Sarah Snead
TIA
Peggy
————————————————
I wondered the same thing. A comment can’t be considered fact but in the comment section of this article “debbie A” asks about the same thing. Also see the 2nd to last pix above the comments section.
http://www.readthehook.com/stories/2010/02/25/COVER-eppard-authorites-duck-parents-d.aspx
Way to rattle the cages. This should interest alot of folks and cause a few Maalox moments. Great way to start the day!
Thanks to you, your editors, J4M and Juliemooly.
Is the destination known for the impromptu trip to Jersey? Is it known if all the “travelers” returned together? Did they return in the same vehicle? Do these people have relatives there?
Thankyou Blink!! Re Cosmo #27 9.42am. I did know Snead found Morris dead and was also in the pursuit of Eppard, this has had me bothered for some time.
No one here is giving up until Morgans killer or killers are brought to justice.
I am referring to Debbie A’s comment from 3/29/2010 @ 11:10:43 PM
http://www.readthehook.com/stories/2010/02/25/COVER-eppard-authorites-duck-parents-d.aspx
yes- I am attending my Morris family reunion this year in Standardsville if anyone is wondering
…. :0!!
You will never get the answers unless you ask the questions.
A long time ago, someone asked how could the world be flat. Imagine that. Respect authority, but also question it.
Agreed, great point.
Which brings me to.. why do we think the Feds AND the ATF jumped on Jackson so quickly?
I am a U G E fan of both agencies, but I can also tell you there has to be a local reason they would have gotten involved like that…
B
Leaving North Garden at 10:23 pm on the 27th, driving approx 6 hours to Jersey would put them there around 4:30 am on the 28th. They would have spent a little over 3 hours in Jersey, leaving again at around 7:45am, in order to drive 6 hours back and arrive by 1:45pm on the 28th. What would you be doing at 4:30 in the morning for 3 hours?
How do you know what part of NJ they were headed to to come to that conclusion?
B
As told i will read it all later for à better understanding. But for what i red until now please Blink becarefull of yourself for the case you steped in something thats very curious. You are doing remarkable searchings and i also think it can make à lot of people nervous. We don’t want you being in any Trouble. And if i have to come from Germany to help you i’ ll do but be in mind my flight will take almost 11 hours:-)
@BLINK “at this point I am prepared to say “flawed”.”
With that comment, I am curious to hear your opinion on the evidence that LE has regarding this case… do you think they screwed up somewhere and are relying more on the people of the community than on their own efforts?
There is so much misinformation regarding this case out there, are they keeping the info from the public or are they just as dumbfounded??
I am not prepared to discuss evidence.
I think there is a significant amount of information they are withholding from the public, and I support that in the interest of a successful prosecution to this case.
HOWEVER.. The disjoint for me is that there is a killer(s) on the loose and this situation could be volatile, in fact, I would be willing to bet it has been already. I have to assume that is being taken into consideration.
Any local will tell you, this area is in turmoil at the moment with everything that is going on between this case, the EMS upgrades to information from VOSHA and ACPD.
B
Great series of articles. Morgan was found about six miles southwest of Charlottesville in a Anchorage Farms field just north of Route 29. The house fire of Sutherland Avenue (also known as County Road 697) was about six miles southwest of where Morgan was found, or about 12 miles from Charlottesville. Sutherland Avenue tees into Route 29 a couple of miles from the burned house location. Seems a long way from campus for student housing? The press release said four people and the dog were staying there at the time of the fire. So who was staying there when Morgan went missing?
Fish: Sometimes the ‘good’ pulls out the good in others, and makes a difference. That this case started out so pitifully … the other abnomalies in this web of LE … It is a “miracle” that Blink, you and others on this site have tugged and pulled out that good that was always so desperately needed! This indeed is an exceptional work! Can we see a BOC tv series in the future? If Blink solves this (I think Blink already has), this will be a historical path forward for her site, and others, to advance society’s quest for justice; accepted and appreciated by the general public.
PS: The B/Gs are running out of places to hide!
RE: B’s response to redrock:
Agreed, great point.
Which brings me to.. why do we think the Feds AND the ATF jumped on Jackson so quickly?
I am a U G E fan of both agencies, but I can also tell you there has to be a local reason they would have gotten involved like that…
B, the article at this link might help answer your question..

Looks like they were technically merged under the Justice Dept. several years back, but maintain separate identities and are in an ongoing pissing contest. But, I’m suspecting that in the Jackson case, they just called out all the resources that were available, not knowing what they were up against, and the agencies took co-ownership.
I don’t see that as a problem, IF they are cooperating and communicating.
Interesting info in your latest article. It’s gonna take a few re-readings to digest, though. Got my Morgan rock this weekend and making a personal delivery on the 23rd! It has flecks of gold in it, nice & shiney for Ms. M.
I posted earlier about something strange going on with this case. Now blink uncovers a lot of criminal activity that more than likley points the dots to corrupt law enforcement that are aiding criminal activity.
My big question is still why did Morgan leave the concert and why did her friends not immediately report her missing? Fifteen hours is a long time to not be heard from when they all attended the concert together. It looks to me like Morgan’s girl friends know something that was going on with Morgan and some other person or persons.
If Morgan had her purse and her car was in the parking lot she could have used it herself unless someone else was the designated driver and they had her keys.
The people charged with secutity at the concert are certainly questionable as well. They need more training on how to protect young women.
I also go back to the basketball players who spoke with her in the parking lot. They should have escorted her to a safe place, but failed to be good citizens.
Lastly, was Morgan high on drugs or alcohol and could not make good decisions? As much as it must pain her parents, this is a distinct possibility.

Great series of articles. Morgan was found about six miles southwest of Charlottesville in a Anchorage Farms field just north of Route 29. The house fire of Sutherland Avenue (also known as County Road 697) was about six miles southwest of where Morgan was found, or about 12 miles from Charlottesville. Sutherland Avenue tees into Route 29 a couple of miles from the burned house location. Seems a long way from campus for student housing? The press release said four people and the dog were staying there at the time of the fire. So who was staying there when Morgan went missing?

They were supposedly Piedmont students, not UVA students. But, even if they were UVA students, no, it is not a long way from grounds for students. I lived basically the same distance away for 2 of my 7 years there and knew many others around that distance or more. It is typical for students, especially grad students, to rent one of the many houses out on a nice piece of land or in a cool area near the mountains — especially south of the school. A 15-20 minute drive in is pretty typical for the people who want to get away from the typical student housing areas. All of those houses will have a couple of good sized parties a year (that is one of the benefits of living in them). Whether that makes them “party houses” or not depends on the meaning of that term I suppose.
