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.

The picture on the FM website is not Morgan.
Yes, Dr. H, thanks for clarifying. I posted that much earlier as well.
I respect that people are trying every avenue to reach answers in dear Morgan’s case.

Blink, I don’t know about snuff films, but there have been some local arrests for prostitution, and some porn, though it’s mostly child porn I’ve found. I have never known this to be a big problem around here, but I guess it can be anywhere because of the internet.
Yep.
O/T: How does that first link get called “news”.. I do not get the lack of factual reporting in this area.
B
Hey Blink,
At one time, you made a comment about some developments happening around the week of April 5th. Were you talking about the court hearing for Jeremy Manning-Smith? Twenty-six pounds of weed is a lot of weed to be caught with. Not saying he’s the ring leader but he was obviously a significant player. Do you think there is any significance to Morgan with his business?
http://www.manta.com/c/mmnqp4z/manning-smith-landscaping
He was indicted that day.
B
MsLAL, don’t be cowed! Hang tough. Rape ain’t proven yet, even tho the smart money sadly lean towards that probability…
And until it’s a proven fact, I can enjoy the idea that it’s not so.
NOTE to Blink and editors: As I’ve mentioned before, I’m cautious when it comes to revealing names, thus not mentioning Oliver Kuttner (even though it’s easy enough to deduct) here, who, by the way, is a FB friend of C. Breeden I discovered (and, when I was living in Lynchburg, there was a guy that I assumed was working for Kuttner that reminds me a lot of Breeden- I even think that he wore those old world, striped pants that I’ve seen Breeden wear in video footage). Another thing of note: I was camping with my wife and young son one time near Glasgow, VA (about 40 mins. west of downtown Lynchburg) and decided to cut through National Forest property and saw some of Kuttner’s guys in a huge 4WD (I think it was a Chevy Blazer) that was painted with their trade-mark dull black finish (they also have some sort of logo that, my memory may fail me, resembles the scope of a gun) and they seemed to be cutting up fallen/ recently cut logs from old growth hardwoods. As soon as they saw us, they kind of closed up shop. There were three of them; this would have been Sept. 2007. I thought little of it at the time, but in light of this, it certainly provides some extra juice to the light bulb in my head.
Nonetheless, I have no idea what the laws are regarding libel over such blog sites, although I am sure that is taken into haevy consideration as you apparently scrutinize each post quite carefully. With that said, please do not post anything I’ve written thus far, but I feel comfortable with you posting what I’ve stated below, starting with the next paragraph, unless if you feel that it could be deemed too inflammatory or would put yourselves, and me, at risk. Thank you.
I’ve been thinking about any possible relationship between the Cassandra Morton and Morgan Harrington murders. While I’m not so sure they are related, in spite of information that indicates that both women’s bodies were placed, unburied, and off the beaten path, there is a common denominator, but perhaps merely “coincidence”, that links Lynchburg and Charlottesville and is worth mentioning.
A maverick real estate developer has investments in both towns and has more recently (2006?-present) placed more portfolio focus in Lynchburg because of the attractive opportunity to create return with undervalued properties there and due to issues he faced with local government practices in Charlottesville. Although he concedes in a recent article that it is his own “ineptitude” with administrative standards that forced him to invest elsewhere, ironically, he is having the same issues arise in Lynchburg as he did in C’ville.
A lot of his return on investment depends on a network of workers that help to refurbish the properties that he buys. When they first arrived in Lynchburg to begin work, they were easily recognizable as they could be seen wearing hipster/paramilitary/ post-apocalyptic, maybe even artsy, garb that truly stands out in a place as conservative as Lynchburg. Many of them would congregate at the Starlight Café, perhaps for a compensatory meal, in downtown Lynchburg which was initially owned by their boss and served as the point of origin for the Starlight Express which provides weekend chartered bus service from Lynchburg/Charlottesville to NYC and back. These individuals seem very loyal to him as he apparently takes good care of them and apparently some of them had worked for him in C’ville. Although I am unsure of what he pays them, I’ve heard that his workers are allowed to stay in his properties relatively cheap, if not free, as part of their benefits plan. They also seem to be part of the plan to promote activity in these areas of development in order to create interest in former blighted areas, as they often use the commercial space to host art events, concerts by local musicians, and incubator-type businesses. The former Kemper street warehouses which used to house textile outlets before becoming either vacant or underutilized, now house an organic coffee roaster, a skateboard shop, and some other progressive businesses. Regardless of the controversy that surrounds the developer, he has provided an undeniable shot in the arm to an otherwise stagnant and crime-ridden area.
What does this have to do with Cassandra Morton or Morgan? Maybe it means absolutely nothing to either woman’s case. However, the Kemper St. property, as well as the general area, is very close to the area where Ms. Morton was last seen (Park Ave.), in addition to where a lot of activity is centered that holds the interest of the Lynchburg Police Department’s vice division. Given the group’s activities in these areas, they might have some insight into the comings and goings of individuals that could be keys to these cases.

Blink, any idea if LE has one suspect, two, three, four … or (sadly) zero? Duke
imo, at least 3
B
————————
Wow. Blink, I have to take this response very seriously. I have never seen you respond that you believed LE has “suspects”. To my knowledge, you have always toed the line in regards to that kind of perspective, sticking to VSP’s “no suspects at this time” posture.
That said, do you feel that there has been a significant turn of events since…ohhh, I don’t know…last wednesday? Or has something else developed that we are not aware of?
One more thing… I gotta ask. The cliff is just too damn tempting:
Do you believe that these “suspects” and the BIB are comprised of the same individuals?
Your right and good catch TA, I read that I was asked my opinion, which I gave, and stand by-
WRT to VSP, I can promise you there will not be a publicly named suspect in this case prior to the return of a true bill or an arrest.
B
Blink, you surprised me. Thanks for your opinion. Duke.

Oh dear Suz, it’s not about being cowed. We would all like to think it weren’t so. I try not to get caught up in that aspect of her case, as the fact remains that she died, taken away from her family and this earth in a senseless, brutal way. J4M.
WOW !!!!! Not POI’s but SUSPECTS !!!! Good work VSP !!!! what is WRT ?
I sit here and think about what Morgan endured in her last moments and I don’t know how else to say it other than to say it makes my absolutely physically ill to my stomach.
Praying that whomever is responsible is caught like right now.
Praying that another young woman does not meet this same horrible fate.
Come on, Lady Justice, you are needed here, pronto!
God Bless the Harringtons and please watch over them and give them the strength to get through this nightmare.
I have faith that good will prevail.
Does WRT mean : with regards to? I am having trouble with this acronym. LOL!
With regard to… Sorry, My bad.
B
Judy, I had the exact same physical reaction when I read Blink’s response to Mom3.0′s question…. I then had to go to bed.
We must believe LE’s desire to catch these animals are incredibly heightened due to the horrific brutality of this crime against our Morgan. Prayers to them & the Harrington’s to get through this journey and on to justice for Morgan.
OK, Blinkers, what group of people have kept our eyebrows raised?
O/T and so ironic…please read….

The Boys in Black, maybe….
I agree, do we think the BIB are people we have been interested in? We need to try & study the whereabouts of of some of these guys/gals. Hmm, that’s the million dollar task.
What happened last Wednesday?
You will have to be more specific.
B
In post #6 above, TA responded to your post about the 3 suspects. TA asks if the new news is related to what happened last Wed. I was just wondering what happened last Wed? Was it the fact that the one RSO was listed as wanted?
Someone did not make that return trip from New Jersey?
Is it possible that it is one of the BIB?
They heard the rustle of LE closing in and then the fire, and then Morgan being found, well it was too hot in the VA kitchen for them so they headed north.
But he just forgot to catch a ride back.
Do we have someone not accounted for?
link5150: just saw your post! I posted and then read, sorry.
has the rso been located or still wanted?
My heart is hurting for the Harringtons. The thought of any film making is just beyond my ability to comprehend. The depth of that kind of evil is not computable to me. It is against humanity. May this not be the case for dear Morgan. I pray it could not be so.
HOLD.
I NEVER Said that there was any connection to what happened to Morgan. That will be the extent of my comments on it, but it is very important we stick to ONLY facts and nothing implied please.
B
My money’s on the BIB’s. The more I read about them the weirder they get. I envision goose stepping black shirts…. Nazis… I’m likely off base. I have to go to the dentist..loosing a filling and my marbles..getting old ain’t for wimps. But, it does beat the alternative.
Have we been able to eliminate anyone from the suspect list? It seems as though the more we dig, the more names we add to the list but eliminating people off the list seems to be a little more challenging.
My main interest at this point is the BIB’s. Last people she was seen with and whom she was seen walking away from the arena with.
Curious if anybody’s DNA other than Morgan’s was found on the shirt, purse, wallet, etc. If so, and not on file, that could help us elimate people with a criminal history or a RSO.
Also curious about the man’s boot found – any DNA from that, shoe size, etc.
The answer is somewhere daggonit. We just need to find it.
Thank you for clarifying Blink. I do not want to think anyone was thinking on those lines.
I wouldn’t have thought of that for goodness sake. My entire nervous system reacted to just seeing the word in print.
Just a reminder, it was a virtual sea of boys in black around JPJA that night. What stands out in pics are the people who wore white or color. So your sense of “normal” for that particular night should be turned upside down. “Abnormal” would be someone wearing color, button downs, blazers, anything that was *not* a black T or jacket.
I hope against hope B is correct and the BIBs have been ID’d.
I should have been clearer, thanks acho, I believe the bib, that were potentially seen with Morgan were Id’d.

______________________
Blink! This is HUGE! Can you give us a hint as to who they are? Have they been cleared as Suspects or are they THE suspects?
Hints Please!
Blink- is there any reason to concern ourselves with the fact that John Sauer and his wife Cathy Clary have landscaping/garndening/ horticulture backgrounds and now Jeremy Manning-Smith has or works for a landscaping business and has been busted with weed?
Is there some sort of Marijuana Growers Association in Town? Could a blow out at a monthly MGA meeting have resulted in a “tactical incident rescue”?
I don’t think I want to leave my ‘puter today. Gonna call for pizza delivery. A big one – for dinner and breakfast.
Oh- and do you know where the landscaping class taught by Ms. Clary went on a field trip on October 17, 2009- was that a hint to look further into it?
Nosey, the subsequent comments to that post are on here.
B
Hey, all.
Hope everybody’s got their catcher mitts on cuz B be droppin’ some big ol’ chunks of cheese…
So, what happened last Wednesday?
Here are a few items that come to mind:
First, and probably least significant, it was last Wednesday (April 21) that VSP Public Relations Manager Corrine Geller sent an email to the media discrediting rumors that the deaths of Green County Sheriff William Morris and Morgan Harrington were in any way connected. Responding to the still-smoldering embers of innuendo making a link between the the discovery of MH’s body on Jan. 26 and the suicide of Morris on Jan. 28, Geller stated that LE has “no reason to believe there is or ever has been any connection between the two and/or their deaths.”
While many of us never thought there was, it does indicate that Lt. Rader and other homicide investigators working Morgan’s case are not simply fumbling around in the proverbial fog with no clue who could have committed the crime. Another way to say this, in BOC terminology, would be: If “everything is in until it’s out,” then chalk a POI in the “Out” column – a first for this case, unless you count Dr. H’s initial assertion that the person (“60 miles away”) MH texted that night was not considered a suspect in her disappearance.
Hmmm… what else happened?
Well, just past midnight on April 22 (so still *technically* the night of April 21), a call was dispatched to Albemarle County Fire & Rescue for the same 2721 Huntingdon Road address searched by police later that day, resulting in the drug arrests of Jonathan and Dakoda Eades (still unsure of their exact relation).
The Seminole Trail Fire unit (Tower 88) responded to the call at about 1 a.m. and departed the property/went back into action at 1:30 a.m.; the service type was logged as “(LOCK O,” which I suppose could be “Lock Out” but I have no confirmation of this. (Anyone? Bueller?… Bueller?…)
By mid-morning that Thursday, the local press began reporting
that police had raided the single-family home *after being told* (according to court records) that a resident was selling marijuana from there.
Reports note that police seized the 2 pounds of marijuana and 22 grams of cocaine, a Glock 9 mm handgun, unspecified prescription pills, more than $1,200 in cash, scales, pipes, bongs and marijuana seeds.
Now, here’s where I need my Blinker-Thinkers: One could take from the court records that an individual being charged with a crime turned over state’s evidence/”ratted” on the Eades (or one of them) to get a reduced sentence, or that a concerned resident tipped off LE to the activity stemming from the household.
But. What. Was that service call? Was it related? Was the aforementioned “tip” generated by a member of the response unit (TO88)?
Or, does the ACFD service-log record reflect the actual execution of the search warrant (e.g., the Seminole Trail unit helped county police access the “locked” property)?
This bust may have nothing to do with Morgan’s case, but – as it has been brought here for discussion: WTH?
Clinkety Clink Clink..
Now that’s our girl
B
In your opinion, at least 3 suspects, but 4 MIB, is it possible that 1 MIB has come forward to LE, possibly identifying the other 3? I know I am stretching a bit Blink, but I assume if LE knows the identities of the MIB, someone of that party came forward?
It is my understanding it was through a process of elimination, whatever that means.
B
I’ve been checking and reading on and off all day. Feels like some things may be coming together. I don’t know if it’s just me or it’s for real. I’m like Minnie Penney and don’t want to leave, but have to since hubby will be home soon with an appetite that won’t stop. Pizza sounds really good. I can’t wait til tomorrow.
Do we know for sure that there were four MIB?
Is this confirmed to the best of our ability?
Makes me wonder if they all connected or converged in that lot at the same time. Maybe they were all coming from different directions. Could this be an avenue we could look into?
Blink: Could one of them; BIB, be a student at UVA?
Blink, do you feel like an arrest is getting close? J4M
Every time I answer that, I take a beating, lol.
I feel like there is so much going on in this area right now even I am dumbfounded.
B
Hmmm…I wonder if the 1 MIB sang like a canary while arrested with his dad on drug charges….any head nods??
1. Are the mib’s in a band that owes part of its name to an animal with tusks?
2. Could the “process of elimination” have something to do with BB players or other witnesses picking former mib’s out of a lineup?
Blink: Could one of them; BIB, be a student at UVA?
And then I should go on and say…he wants out, so he told what he knew. He’s a student with direction.
Just thinking out loud.
My brain is harboring so many questions that it’s making my brain bleed.
Blink, I’m going to try and pick a couple that maybe you can answer, thus relieving some of the mounting pressure in my skull.
Friends, or Foes?
Is it possible that the mysterious BIB are actually critical witnesses to whoever killed Morgan? OR do you think that they are the suspects?
Do you think that the male Grandma saw was part of the BIB, or a separate individual?
i think my rocks made it this time,usps tracking says a notice was left for pick up ,this time i used the 4492 po box,i fixed my computer and modem prob.now trying to catch up.
Where is the cheese?????
On Dakota’s doorstep?????
Uhoh. Where did that come from?

forgive me for sounding foolish… I was reading in the FM facebook site and saw a lot of discussion re footage of Morgan at the concert. Blink commented and her editors did a good deal of work/research to produce and clarify, etc. While I deeply appreciate all that work and diligence, I am missing how that helps solve the case at this juncture? I was thinking we had Morgan outside the venue, in the night, speaking with various witnesses, seeking a ride or w/e, later than what this footage shows. What am I missing? Why are we going back to her moments inside with the friends?
again, sorry if this sounds like a dumb question.
The thing I can’t get past is that both LE and Dr. Harrington have said there is no video of Morgan at the concert. There is a thread on findmorgan.com http://findmorgan.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3313 that has a clip from an early article in the Collegiate Times where Amy Melvin is reported to have said “…the group was separated from Harrington before the concert and did not see her during the concert. She said Harrington did not take the automobile they had brought to Charlottesville.”
There are also no pictures. Look how many of you have combed through hundreds of pics and video footage from the concert, and still no Morgan or any of the friends to be seen, in addition to no security footage from JPJ.
Yet LE seems pretty steadfast in claiming she attended at least part of the concert. Where is the PROOF of this? Why does it matter? Because if she wasn’t there, or possibly the friends weren’t either, wherever she or they were opens up possibilities to find answers to what happened.
If LE has pics that the friends turned over from their cameras – and they just don’t want to say so, I don’t get it. How would it hinder their investigation?
And by “proof” I mean something concrete – not well-meaning witnesses who claim to have seen a blonde in black resembling Morgan, not the friends’ word, not just merely that 4 tickets were scanned (that doesn’t prove it was any of them specifically who attended the concert, and doesn’t prove how long they stayed).
LE has said they aren’t concerned with anything inside the arena. I want to know how they arrived at this. Because unless they know what happened to Morgan and who is guilty of it, or knew she was never in the arena, how can they conclude anything inside the arena is of no concern? Just because she was supposedly seen by people outside the arena and disappeared from outside the arena, does not mean there would be no reason not to be concerned with anything preceding that inside the arena. Makes zero sense.
O we got her:

Did the band staff or roadies or whatever park in the RV lot that night? We have been wondering this.
NO. there were no rv’s parked there that evening according to witnesses, and the band was not either.

Blink, is this still accurate? And if so, what sort of vehicles (if any) were in the RV lot?
What did I miss!?!
In re: to my comment Blink said “O we got her:” and shows a pic. How can you tell that is her? Is there a link somewhere to this pic?
That is my screenshot of a video posted on here before…
Mom 3.0, this ones for you lady!

Um, I don’t know. Out of thin Mercury retrograde air I guess. Sorry.

More info above about “Grindbox”–offshoot of MW’s band–went through “friends” list–didn’t see any obvious connections. Maybe someone else can. Looks like they practice in a garage somewhere. I surmise his name is JJ (a.k.a. Grindbox.) The one blog he has up is “interesting” and to me, offensive.
He is with Levithan’s Mandible now.

Blink, That’s the video I posted! Yes- Confirmation Yes! I am so happy that out of all the videos I watched this video is the one – It shows Morgan Having a good time with her friends!
Dr. Harrington, Gil and Alex, I am so glad that you can have this footage of your beloved shiny girl Morgan.
Blink , has LE looked at this? Have The Harrington’s and Morgan’s friends confirmed this to be Morgan?
Sorry, I am rambling but I literally watched hours of video and I am alittle emotional!!!
LOL, you need to see my last post about you…
Read here, yes VSP has it, and yes Dr. H has seen it..

Cool! Does Momo get the $500 reward?
Suz, you did not just seriously ask that did you, lol?

Oh Mom3.0, I bet you *are* emotional, seeing those brightened, closer stills and hearing so much support for the theory that it’s Morgan (I think so, too, after re-watching it a bunch). Kudos and hang tough, sweet lady!
I am absolutely choked up. Seeing that image of Morgan brings me to my knees. Haunting and celestial at the same time. To know that she experienced a state of grace through live music brings me great comfort. I hope it does the same for her family.
The fact that this image was spotted is nothing short of a miracle. No way in high heaven would I have spotted Morgan in this chaotic vid. Mom3.0, you answered a very high calling. I knew you were an angel but where do you hide them wings?
What else can a person say? Morgan reached out from the great wide blue to tell us her story of that day. I suspect she has much more to reveal. Her killer(s) will be caught. Morgan will lead the way.
Love to everyone xo
