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.

awa — thanks for the Oprah, Watching now as I catch up with the posts from today.
I’ve read the Gift of Fear by Gavin DeBecker but certainly hope this broadcast grabs someone’s attention who needs it. The broadcast is posted http://www.oprah.com including relationship red flags, and mosaic questionnaire for those who missed it.
Blink, I haven’t been able to sift through all of the posts, but here goes…I just posted a link above for the defaulted second year student’s myspace who “allegedly” found Morgan’s shirt…Low and behold on his blog page a female comments…
I could of sworn I saw this same females profile connected/friends to Colby Eppard’s page but I can’t fact-check this at the moment… http://www.myspace.com/discotilldeath
I have a strange feeling about this kid who found the shirt…
Crimewriter.. where did you come up with that kids name finding the shirt? Can you source it for me?
According to everything I read/know, a kid by the name of Blaine Eichner found it.
B
I can’t keep up with all the initials, car trips, facebook pages, fires, and weird-shaped heads of sex offenders (there’s too many to fathom). It’s mind boggling. I can only offer prayers for Morgan and her family and all others here who are suffering through their own problems (Kathy and her son, etc.) However it’s impossible to quit on this case as we all want justice for the Harringtons. No Dad should ever have to stand on a street with a picket sign defending his murdered daughter, ever. That photo of Dr. H. broke my heart.
I don’t see any reason why the rash car trip to and from NJ would have any ties to Morgan, especially if they returned. What is the point that I am missing? Unless they got rid of the car they left in and returned with a different one. Now if someone can dig up info on a vehicle fire,sale,or trade in close proximity to Morgan’s disappearance that would be interesting. Somebody must be sweating bucketloads of DNA right now. The DNA on the shirt gives hope. Why wouldn’t the bad guy have burned that shirt to be rid of any evidence? Also I never believed she was hitchhiking, unless as someone said maybe if she was scared of someone following her from behind, then maybe to get away from them. The way this case has been, how hard would it be for a few folks to call in separately to the tip line and say that they saw her on the bridge? Doing so would certainly lead the lost trail onward from the last person she was actually seen alive with, no? I would hope that LE has the names of those who reported that. Could they see if those names are connected to each other in any way? Could the dogs have just hit on the scent of one of her belongings rather than her, as her items seem to be scattered all over the place? By the way, any warm-blooded animal can get rabies, but if you see a sickly raccoon it is likely that it has Distemper (a respiratory virus). I doubt if it was a full on “attack” on the turtle as the turtle wouldn’t fight back, probably just curious and trying to find a meal.Good idea to vax your dogs for distemper though.
Re Elf #22 10 17PM
Thanks Elf for your helpfu”l words fro”m one who works in the animal field, and Connie the rabies issue is a concern. “Trotsky” and Tenacious T ( good name Blink sounds like a rapper)
It is ending up being me to find a home for” TT who has lost his tail.
I am pretty mad at the students, one of whom said to me today Quote “my roommates are upset with you for getting upset with them about the turtle, and I know it is a living animal and everything but really it doesn’t belong to us and is not our responsibility.”
“Well whose responsibility is it then I asked, after all it is on your doorstep”. This particular kid is so entitled and immune and is interning at the DA’s office, I could go on but I promised Blink to behave myself!!
Good idea Elf we will look for an animal wild life rehabber for the raccoons they are just too big to risk bumping into at night and can be fiercely protective of their young.
My sweet husband is going to help figure out where Tenacious should go and take him there tomorrow.
Also he is an illegal alien apparently (no not my husband Tenacious…)He is an African snapping turtle in fact he snapped at me tonight which made me think he was feeling a bit better.
The students found out if they turned him in they would have to pay a fine, maybe they were also afraid I would report their sorry butts to the RSPCA. Grrr…This whole animal thing makes me think of Skyler.
Mom3.O I love that thought “victory for the victims ” and yes “clink.”
Also Jane re #18 April 15th 7:53 PM Very good point, it does worry me that the evidence on Morgans’ mysteriously planted and found shirt may have been intentionally tainted, and I agree with you the words of the day are “Trust No One”
Okay so nevermind. I know Kevin’s last name. His dad was also a musician and has played in several bands in the area.
Yes. Have you researched his interests?

Sky, your moon thing may be occurring. (wink)

Since everyone and everything is in until it is out. I appreciate hearing a variety of new and sometimes “off the beaten track” theories whether they be dreams or visons or postulations. With so little concrete info to go on in this case, every avenue of investigation and theorization should be explored with an open mind. It is not mine nor anyone else’s to determine from whence the one “golden nugget” of information shall be gleaned that will break this case open and lead to the arrest of Morgan’s killers.
Dreamedit, I look forward to hearing more about your theory/dream/vision and hope you can and will expand on some of the elements you presented. I am particularly interested in hearing if you have any thoughts on the timeframe it took to commit the crime and place Morgan’s body at AF and what weapons may have been used.
If FF deleted his myspace, he recreated a new one. It’s now private and last log in was April 7. I’d post a link but I don’t want to cross Blink boundaries.
You may.

Hi friend! I am so sorry. I somehow missed your comment. I have no right to be on the net after being sedated for dental work.
I am sensing your urgency to find your April 6 post. I will do what I can! I recall Blink saying there was a server glitch. The post may have been compromised as a result but I’m more than happy to look.
Blink, someone once asked what they could do for you. I am a stay at home mom. If searching online is considered useful, I have an uncanniness (is that a word) for finding info. My husband insists I’ve searched the entire net
Anyways, the offer will always stand.
JusticeforMorgan, I’ll repost if I find anything relative xo.
Nice to see everyone reinvigorated, particularly B. Nice work, everyone, LE not withstanding. I think that between this release and your latest post, B, the dots could be connected (although without a flowchart/ map, I admittedly don’t think I am anywhere near developing a solid theory). That’s why I’m so impressed with what is being discussed here.
JusticeForMorgan,
I had no luck finding your original post. I scoped all threads searching under your handle.
It must be suspended (hanging in mod/glitch) or lost.I’m curious, does it still indicate it’s in mod from your end? Some posters indicate they saw the post and Blink’s positive feedback.
Are you able to repost the comment, justice?
Let me know if there’s anything else I can do xo
At Justice’s request, I reposted it for her, in it’s entirety, instead of it’s original time/date because she was concerned it would not show on the current display of posts, and she was correct.
It is on this thread.

Wilsdorf Hall is an Engineering building – and with the other science buildings not really near to 15th and Grady. Or maybe I misunderstood. Maybe a mile away as the sideways meander? or maybe less as the crows fly?
Forgot to mention last night, I thought it was interesting that not only did the local news do a story on Morgan’s shirt, but they did a story on Quaker, the new accelerant-sniffing dog in the Charlottesville fire department, given to them by ATF.

Which reminds me, every winter there are more house fires than in the summer, for obvious reasons like dry Christmas trees, portable heaters, fireplaces in use. But this winter we had what seemed like a lot more house fires than normal, and continue to have them. I also know that sometimes the profession of firefighting attracts fire bugs. I wonder if we have one here. Just thinking out loud again. Need more coffee to make the thoughts complete.
Yep.

ConcernedByStander: WOOT! Very interesting due to geo-social connections, don’t you think? I do see a couple women of interest in there who take us from our C’ville scenesters to those Valley musicians and ‘herb’alists. Plus, quite the occupational interest and connections … I dunno, but surely worth a look??
JulieMooley, re: the net feeling wider, I am with you. I think it’s necessary though. We can look for more of those “umbrella” persons I reference above–particularly of the maternal, re-marrying type, who bridge the gaps, all the way from the Valley —> Greene —> NG. In finding them, maybe we can start to narrow the focus.
Thank you CvilleNative for answering HokieHi. I forgot to look it up (sadly I don’t know any of this off the top of my head, certainly not the UVa science buildings and labs!).
I think it’s important to remember that UVa is not only for its students. It’s also a large and coveted employer for residents of C’ville and surrounding counties. Many, many roles to fill there. I see that a lot of folks who are friends/kin with these service people work in supporting roles there.
Wow, Kathy, Tarheellvr, everyone who has or is going through challenges: I am thinking of you and feeling grateful for your perspectives. (Interesting thought about rabies, and in a bit of comic relief, it reminds me that my dad got a ‘coon bite in VA when I was little [he, um, found a baby coon and thought it would be a cute pet ... put it in a box in our garage and IIRC, its mama came a searchin' ... I love my dad but wow, right?]. The health dept made him go through all those awful shots. Thank God for the health dept or we might be nominating him for the Darwin Awards.)
Lol, lol. My Daddy has won more unclaimed Darwin awards than I can count, I know the feeling.
Wouldn’t have him any other way.

Why the need to draw attention away from AF–was that even on LE’s radar? I think when she was discovered at AF LE was just as shocked as we were.
Who ever ‘planted’ the shirt took a huge risk–once they ‘planted’ it they had no control over who would find it, when it would be found and no control over what would happen with the shirt once it was discovered–it could have just as easily been made a dust rag or thrown away.
This seems so unorganized compared to the organized way she was discarded at AF.

The Harringtons never cease to amaze me. The love that they have for each other runs so deep.
Gil’s post from today on the findmorgan.com website family blog
Dearest Dan,
I hate to leave you. I see how spent you are and the dread of loss that even this short separation brings. Please know that I choose to make this journey only after much deliberation and as painful as it is, I must go, for our patients and also for me.
In the natural order of things parent’s age, and children grow up, and parents die. This normal pattern was violated by the predator that killed Morgan. I would have traded places with her gladly. My life has been full and rich because of you and what we share. Morgan’s life had just begun and she was poised to fly so high and be something really special in the world.
I feel that it is imperative to negate some of the evil that killed Morgan and accomplish something in her honor. Caring for the poor in Zambia is the most direct way I can see to do this. I realize the sacrifice it takes for me to go on this journey, financial, emotional, and physical, but know it is mine to do. You remember how you say that my greatest strength is making chicken salad out of chicken shit; well this is attempting to do just that only with worse starting ingredients.
Thank you for letting me go even if you don’t understand. I love you more than words can say. This darkness has been your finest hour.

Always,
Gil
Just as an fyi I watched Blindside last night and now this..

Not sure if this has been posted as of yet, But the Pantera Tee Shirt was Morgan’s. DNA testing back and confirming same.
Please let this perp be found and fast.

Agreed.

Hummingbird, here’s some Central Virginia urban wildlife data for you:
I have a name for the raccoon that invades my trash can as often as it can…Fat Bastard. The groundhog is Harvey; he eludes capture on film. The turtle is Mr. Turtle. I have no idea if he’s a Mr. or a Ms.; I have to periodically relocate him from the street to the weedy mess in back of the house.

___________________________________________
I agree, Peggy. I still find it interesting that around the time the CUE center climbed on board, we heard Dr. Harrington recommending searches at the reservoir (not sure which one, but I can’t help but remember that a believed-stolen car recently plunged into the one at Sugar Hollow) **AND along 29S**.
So *someone* figured out before discovery that there was some reason to look along 29S … whether that was related to AF in any way, I have no idea (doesn’t sound like it, according to LE). Maybe the perps knew something had slipped and worried that eventually someone would figure out they needed to look along there. Thus the plant/distraction at the University.
Just my opinion, and it may not fit with Blink’s theory of a female planter, which also makes sense to me.
IMO, it would be nearly impossible for the shirt not to have someone else’s DNA. As Blink mentioned above, different profiles = different pers. Too many hands in the pot (or shall I say on the shirt). All it takes is 1 hair. But, yet no arrest? I think it’s because the other DNA found is not in their database. Of course, I could be way wrong.
I would like to know, however, what it takes to obtain a DNA sample from someone. In other words, what lengths is LE allowed to go to in trying to identify unknown DNA – are they allowed, without a warrant, to request a volunteer DNA sample from anyone and everyone that they think is involved and then whoever refuses to submit their DNA, a warrant can then be obtained to make them? AND – how long do the DNA comparison test results take? I would think that those tests would be quick, no?

Relation to the area of the shirt
Relation to the music scene
Realtion to the parties at AF
He/they knew of all this and came upon Morgan.
Slowr got me thinking on the female angle that I can’t let go off.
Jealousy can and does lead to some off the biggest and most violent fights. And, then I think of maybe going somewhere to party but why weren’t they going to see Metallica if they are on the grounds?
But I can’t help but know she was not so-called HHing but sticking her thumb out to someone she recognized. I am probably wrong but trying so hard to figure this out.
Fletch, don’t remember the January date of the shirt.
Time will tell and truth will set one free.
Sidebar: Blink, so that really was LE going door to door at the apartment complex?
Definitely on the 27th of January, VSP.
The day the shirt was found (which I believe is in question), Cville PD.

Hey Chad, thanks. Yes, I kinda figured that out after I went back and re-read, as is usually the case. It was/is confusing. Wish we could edit!
I don’t have much to say, but will say this: if a girlfriend planted that shirt because she knew what her boyfriend did it would very much be in her best interest to call the tip line and confess to that NOW.
Not only will she collect a huge amount of cash, but more importantly, MORE IMPORTANTLY, she could save herself from a world of trouble when this whole thing plays out- which it will.
I imagine this girlfriend is similar to someone I once knew. I had a friend when I was younger who had a number of relationships with men that were not good people. She would do anything to protect them, then get mad and do something that had the potential to get them in trouble, then go back to doing anything to protect them- including but not limited to trying to take the fall for them. But these were little misdemeanor charges, some pot in the glove-box type things. This is WAY different. Save yourself NOW girl, he has gone way the F overboard this time. We are talking serious stuff and you will go down with him if you do not do what is right and do it NOW. Seriously, you better hurry because this is closing in fast.
I don’t know who you are, but what you wrote might be the most important post this girl reads.
I hope this young lady will also consider the danger of being one of a very small few who has this information. If someone were capable of such atrocity to Morgan, what the hell would make you think you might not end up the same way?
You think this binds him to you? You already know that’s a lie. Let me guess, renewed interest after she was found, right?
$150K and a second chance is at the end of your unfortunate rainbow, run to it.

Thank you Hummingbird, Connie, Mom3.03, MsLal, and Blink. Reading the sincerity of your words made me weep. Sometimes I almost feel pretty and lots of times I feel normal. Yes, I’m most at peace when enjoying nature’s glory. Sometimes my precious little dog and kitties watch me as I cry. Then they nuzzle closer and closer and I believe they know the impact their presence has on me.
&&&& THL, so glad you have your dog and kitties to comfort you, too. Isn’t it amazing how they know and respond to how we are feeling? When we cry, they cry, too. I pray for you and am glad you’re here.
am i nuts? or do i remember a post on here, or possibly elsewhere (though i am only following on blink these days) on 1/25 that said something like “tomorrow’s gonna be a long day” ?!?!? please answer this someone.
then we have a fire at 2am, before the body is found. then she is found. now we learn someone really did have a long day, according to fb. coincidence? or am i nuts?
B is right. It was Blaine Eichner who found the shirt.

Anyone interested? John Sauer – Carr’s Hill Gardner – also North Garden resident and mentioned in Blink’s latest article.
http://www.virginia.edu/uvatoday/newsRelease.php?id=6225
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 Extention.
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.

I would think that someone who is the guide for large estate garden tours would be fairly comfortable in the surrounding farms, No??
Does he ever employ temps or part time help to assist?
Attached is a link the shows the missing persons in the area, date went missing, date found, and a map of the locations as the relate to one another. Interesting read…

FF’s g/f’s myspace? (a huge gap in comments between Dec. 22/09 – April 14/10). Huh.

Hidie-ho, Hokie Hi, and B, and all of my Blinkpadres!
HH, you asked: “Do we know “Kevin’s” real name (his last name that is)? I know he also plays in a band called ‘feeding the hand that bites’.
“Blinkbiscuits!~B”
If this has not already been answered, his initals are KH. His last names rhymes with the second half of Lady’s Gaga’s stage name – just switch her “G” for his “H,” and you’ve got Kevin H—.
(I’ll be less specific if there’s another need to reference the man, but wanted to help our pre-coffee patrons along…
In following a hint from acho, I saw he’s a lab specialist at 253 Gilmer. …By Day! At night, he get’s his Gwar-inspired rwwwwwwrrrrk on.
Clever FB moniker, I might add.
By the way, if TWBC – and perhaps, occasionally, FTHTB – practiced at 3323, one of them lived there.
And B, acho – I *know* you know which band members(s) did.
Hint me back!
Blink says:
Yes. Have you researched his interests?
B
I assume you mean Kevin, correct? Here is what his fb lists as interests:
I like hiking, reading, music,art, thinking, painting, noises, friends, taking things apart, animals, life and or being alive, enemies and arch nemesis’, my girlfriend, skating, the outdoors, staying indoors for unreasonable lengths like a hermit, tattoos and piercings, contributing to society, bagels, booze, irony
It appears that he is close in the circle with queso’s stepbrother. MW’s wife has quite a bit out there in cyberland. Here are some photos of her and the gang including Kevin when he was part of TWBC.
http://www.bebo.com/c/photos/album_detail?MemberId=9141665052&PhotoAlbumId=10645981489
Kevin started a new band, Feeding the hand that bites that also includes some members of the same circle. The link below is interesting. Scroll down to the posting under “Feeding the hand that bites”. He was advertising for a lead singer on 10/18/09. Probably nothing to it but strange timing.
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=487557997&blogId=500221206
Here is a link to a youtube post from his band. If you click on the kat4ever2009 subscriber, there are several “practice session” videos of the group.
http://www.youtube.com/user/feedingthehand
It also appears Kevin is an artist that prefers the dark side of expression.
http://ixk.deviantart.com/
And finally, he does work as a lab technician at UVa in Gilmer hall. Could this be a tie in to what acho proposed? Someone who works in the area and travels it daily? Any chance he might have lived in the apartments on 15th and Grady at some point?
This is what I’ve come up with based on Concernedbystander’s finding of his fb page. What else can we uncover? Point me in the right direction Blink
HokieHi – Glad to help. I looked it up and Wilsdorf Hall is the new Materials Science building. It is located right in the middle of the other engineering buildings.

Blink, I haven’t been able to sift through all of the posts, but here goes…I just posted a link above for the defaulted second year student’s myspace who “allegedly” found Morgan’s shirt…Low and behold on his blog page a female comments…
I could of sworn I saw this same females profile connected/friends to Colby Eppard’s page but I can’t fact-check this at the moment… http://www.myspace.com/discotilldeath
I have a strange feeling about this kid who found the shirt…
Crimewriter.. where did you come up with that kids name finding the shirt? Can you source it for me?
According to everything I read/know, a kid by the name of Blaine Eichner found it.
B
B, from this link, you’re right: http://www.readthehook.com/art/index.php/feed/ (scroll down to 4th story…
Today marks the 3rd anniversary of the terrible tragedy that occurred when a troubled student massacred 32 brave individuals on Virginia Tech’s campus in Blacksburg. Those murdered were fathers, daughters, mothers and sons. They were future leaders and incredible heros. As I watch Nikki Giovanni’s speech, my eyes still well up. I’m deeply saddened for those that lost their lives and the families that were forever affected. But I’m also awestruck by the resiliency of HokieNation. The way the students, supporters and community rallied together was inspiring. As I watch this today, I think of Morgan.
I was so happy to see the turnout by HokieNation in support of Morgan when the WBC was in town. Although I didn’t know Morgan, I feel she was a true Hokie at heart. Every University has it’s traditions and traits but something about VT is unique. From the nickname, to the colors, to the Hokiestone that surrounds the buildings, there is a unique feel to the campus. From what I’ve learned of Morgan, she was a unique individual herself and I think that’s why she fit in so well there.
VT has endured a tough run of tragedy over the last 3 years, beginning with the 4/16 shootings and ending with the Morgan’s death. But it’s the sense of family and community that is seen in this video that makes me smile. I know family was important to Morgan and I think that’s another characteristic that made her a Hokie. We’re a passionate bunch and we’ll be passionate about making sure that those responsible don’t get away with cutting short the dreams of a fellow Hokie.
To me, it is so fitting that on this day of rememberance, we’re getting closer and closer to justice for Morgan. Thanks to all of the hardwork and dedication to those here I say “WE WILL PREVAIL!”. God Bless you all. And to the Harrington’s I just want to say that I hope you can take some solace in the fact that every time you see someone wearing Maroon and Orange, know that they carry a piece of your daughter with them. Your daughter will forever live on in every alumni, faculty, future student, NRV resident and VT supporter.
WE ARE VIRGINIA TECH…..WE ARE MORGAN HARRINGTON

You are very Kind.

Thanks, Eloise, for the link — I cannot shake the feeling that Morgan may have crossed over, but she is NOT resting in peace — that girl is busy — I know how that sounds, and frankly, I do not care — look at all these MP cases that are starting to be resolved — I pray that is brittany — only for the peace to her loved ones —
and little Haleigh — sorry, that Misty just ticks me off — Oh, I’ll FINALLY tell you what really happened if you reduce my drug charge —
why the hell didn’t you tell “what really happened” when she went missing ?
gotta go back to work, just wanted to check to see if any new developments —
It will be very interesting to see just how much truth will be told in the next four weeks —
J4M !!!
oh, PS — maybe this retired FBI guy can come work for the Harringtons now — Metallica put no strings attached on the funds they gave for Morgan — it’s not working to lure someone to confess — so use those bucks to hire this guy and all of his resources — and all he’s gotta do is say the word and he will have a boatload of volunteers to help him in all endeavors —
I’m being serious
Well, I have to put in my two cents raccoon story as well. We have a cat at home that looks like a raccoon to us, so whenever we see one we joke it is her. Over the weekend my daughter was at the beach with her friends, sitting out on some very big rocks (jetties) and a raccoon came right up to them and stole her sandwich! He just sat there and ate it while they watched (and screamed). We have a lot of them where I live (panhandle of Florida, it may seem like a beach place but is really mostly wooded).
I read this site every day, several times a day. I’m trying so hard to figure this all out. But every time I think I’ve put some pieces together, all these other pieces are left over and I don’t know where they go, kind of like it would be if I attempted to take apart a car engine and then put it back together.
If I’m reading correctly, Kevin of the group WBC (the band) works for UVA bio, which is located on a route heavily traveled by students. And if I read this right, the apartment building where the shirt was found could also be on his route if he lives near the bio lab and walks to work (I don’t know where he lives, but it is a possibility).
Blink said “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” and then said “that last line is a hint”. I think she meant this line about biting. Would his committing a crime which involved UVA property be biting that hand? Or am I just so way off track?
Now I just can not figure out how to work in the firefighters and Colby. They are my left over parts at the moment. Oh, and the deceased Sheriff.
Could somebody help me out? I truly do read every single post, every day, several times a day, and I am trying real hard to keep up, its just not going so well for me right now.
Thank you, Blinksters! I look forward to each of you every day.
Hummingbird: thank you for sharing your turtle story, I am so happy to hear he is alive! I love animal stories. I can’t believe how rude and uncaring those students are though.
tarheellvr, your story is very powerful, thank you for sharing that with us. I am glad you survived your ordeal, I can not imagine how awful it was to endure. I’m glad you have your family and have found some peace, and Morgan.
Mom3.0 – thank you for always being so kind to everyone!
re: Peggy April 15@4:27-
I am open to interpretation on thoughts, dreams, visions, etc. I have read many with great interest. However, what concerned me most of all about Dreamedit post was the 2 references to “North Garden 7″. They never said it was a dream, just “Hello People” and a theory. Has anyone on BOC identified anyone that way? As the “North Garden 7″? That, and the timing of the post (before the shirt’s DNA results and positive I.D. as being that of Morgan’s), really creeped me out. A deflection? Look here, not there? I am not a sleuth, and I hope some of the great minds on BOB can remember who might have referred to anyone in North Garden that way… also, some of the wording seemed female, JMHO. I agree, I’d like to know the IP addy as well.
We also have a lot of raccoons in the woods where I work. They get in our ceilings and pee everywhere, and stain the ceiling tiles, which makes the buildings smell like rotten eggs. Sometimes they fall through the tiles and surprise the first one in the building in the morning. They can be quite entertaining little creatures. We have people who trap them and release them elsewhere.
SLOWROLLER! YOU THERE?
Got something to ping pong back and forth. You game?
Could you agree for a minute that Morgan just knew one of them and not the others. So in the vehicle she went. Now…
Guy(s) did what he did to Morgan.
He and friends, possibly 4 MIB, assaulted & dumped her in that hayfield. They knew this area well. Music, family, friend ties.
Guy gave Girlfriend a t-shirt, boots, a shiny necklace, and possibly a camera. No, not that night but later. Trys to make ammends for his flirting but she is a crazyass jealous one.
Girlfriend is now pissed when she finds out VSP is looking for these items. She plants the t-shirt outta “Spite”(redrock & peggy) at that apartment building. Must be some connection, hence, Lt. Rader’s statement…” It’s going to take that one courageous phone call to Crime Stoppers from someone who knows something firsthand about this case that will be the key to linking together the evidence and data collected to date.”
Who knows where else she dumps the rest. I thinkin’ that VSP has more data and evidence than we know.
Maybe Blink and team pouring over social networking sites will come up with any of the above.
And, let’s not forget about Morgan’s distinctive socks?
Slowroller, I ask you because you have opened my thought process up to other possibilities. No snarky comments back, please. I just want your male point of view.
And to Lt. Rader:
“We are still encouraging the public to come forward with relevant information concerning Morgan Harrington,” said Lt. Joe Rader, Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation Appomattox Field Office. “As this investigation continues to progress, factual details are more helpful and important to investigators than theoretical abstracts.”
I apologize to you and your team. This is one theorical abstract!
But just know that you have the citizens of Virginia lending our support. We are trying, sir. I will put a rock for you and your team at the Copely Road Bridge for the work you are doing to give Morgan her voice!
obviously, I meant BOC, sorry…..

Evidently, there are 2 “Kevins?”
Here are links to Biting Hands…sorry if already posted.
