Morgan Harrington Murder: Coincidences or Clues ?
Disclaimer–
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.

There was a change in plan after 2pm on 17OCT09
Morgan sat in the back seat to “study” on the ride to Charlottesville
Morgan Nichols decided not to go to the concert and instead
gave her ticket to her boyfriend who then was designated as the driver of Morgan’s car and accompanied the 3 girls to the concert.
They arrive and park next to DC’s friends including Dee Sporalics
who happens to look like Morgan and was dressed like Morgan sans leggins
Morgan had an argument w/friend inside the arena
she fell down and hurt her chin inside the arena
she was crying inside the arena
she got locked out of the arena
she got locked out of her own car
it was cold and raining outside and she was far from home
then to top it all off..now enters sociopath
and leaves her broken body at Anchorage Farms
Could it be? I have a hard time believing it happened this way.
Blink, does the nature of the argument sound right to you?
I don’t write as well as the most of you, I can’t express why this doesn’t sit right with me.
Did Morgan kiss Amy before leaving? Do they have a reason not to tell the truth?
thank you joeamerica for such a sensible post
was the argument about drugs or procuring drugs ?

RE: Here’s what I dug up for you and anyone interested…
An Amherst County man immediately appealed a three-year jail sentence Monday after being convicted of exposing himself to local joggers and college students.
Joel Michael Wooldridge, 31, of Monroe, was charged in a series of college dorm break-ins and indecent exposure incidents in October. He was charged with two felony counts of breaking and entering, along with four counts of indecent exposure and a count of trespass, all misdemeanors.
Lynchburg General District Court Judge Joseph Serkes heard the testimony of five women on the misdemeanor charges and a preliminary hearing on the felonies. In addition to convicting and sentencing Wooldridge on the misdemeanors, he also ruled there was enough evidence to send the felonies to a grand jury for consideration.
Lynchburg police Detective Collin Byrne testified that during police questioning Wooldridge admitted to breaking into the dorms at Randolph and Lynchburg colleges and to exposing himself during both incidents. He also admitted he had exposed himself to the joggers, Byrne said.
He said detectives questioned Wooldridge several times about why he was exposing himself.
“He was under a lot of stress,” Byrne testified. “He had lost his job and there was some health issues with his wife. Ap-parently, this was a way of relieving stress.”
In the first incident, a student at Randolph College testified, she woke up around 5:30 a.m. on Oct. 7 to find a man at the foot of her bed touching himself. She told Serkes the man, who she could not identify because she wasn’t wearing her glasses, did not leave until she threatened to call security.
Another first-year female student at Lynchburg College testified she was showering in a common bathroom at McWane Hall on the afternoon of Oct. 19 when she saw a hand come around her shower curtain. When she looked out, she testified, she saw Wooldridge leaving the room buttoning his pants.
Two female joggers testified they saw Wooldridge naked, touching himself, as they jogged along Langhorne and Boonsboro roads on Oct. 8 and 13, respectively. One said she saw a man matching his description driving along her jogging route two days prior.
The fifth woman testified Wooldridge tried to force his way into her stall in a woman’s bathroom at Central Virginia Community College on Oct. 20.
Byrne, the police detective, told Serkes surveillance video of Wooldridge’s car from the community college helped them find him at a store in Madison Heights.
Defense lawyer Andrew Childress argued that no one was touched or hurt in the encounters, that the acts were commit-ted out of compulsion and that Wooldridge’s mental health was in question.
Serkes said area residents were lucky Wooldridge was apprehended, because he was unsure whether the acts were becoming more aggressive.
“He’s put the fear of God into all these ladies,” the judge said. “They’re going to be looking over their shoulder.”
Serkes sentenced him to six months on each count of indecent exposure and to 12 months on the trespass charge.
Childress appealed the convictions to Lynchburg Circuit Court. A grand jury could consider the felony charges as early as Dec. 7. He remains in custody at Blue Ridge Regional Jail without bond.
Virginia Tech police charged Wooldridge with peeping into a dwelling and obscene sexual display based on reports from an Aug. 27 incident at a dorm there. He is scheduled for a hearing in Montgomery County on Jan. 20.
*Now in Montgomery County he had a court dates of 11/10/09 and 01/20/10. Both were continued until 02/17/10. He was found not guilty and the charges of SIMULATED MASTERBATION & PEEPING INTO DWELLING THRU DOOR were disposed of.
*Another interesting fact..{Randolph College Director of Safety and Security Kris Irwin said Wooldridge’s ability to defeat the dorm’s keycard and motion-detector system caught him off guard.
According to testimony at last week’s hearing, a motion detectorwould unlock the doors as a student approached from the inside.
Byrne testified Wooldridge threaded a stick between the double doors and wiggled it inside to trip the motion detector.
“We made adjustments in that same afternoon,” Irwin said. “It was minor, but it was enough of an adjustment to keep anything from being threaded between the doors.”
He said he suspects Wooldridge learned the trick as a heating and cooling contractor working on similar buildings.
Wooldridge is charged with peeping into a dwelling and obscene sexual display in Montgomery County after Virginia Tech police charged him in connection with an Aug. 27 incident at a dorm there. Officials there said he was working on a job there for Southern Air.}

His last log in date was 10/20/09 he says he is a LIGHTING AND SPECIAL EFFECTS TECH
His finace on 10/20/09 (presumed married now) “Joel’s Bethy” is only 19 years old and her last log in was also 10/20/09.
Mom of 3, I don’t read at other sites for reasons I won’t elaborate on, hence, I haven’t witnessed the apparent video uproar. I was wondering about the implication of your comments, however. Would you or someone else mind enlightening me as to the importance of this video as you see it?
I certainly understand that Morgan might have encountered her killer inside the arena, or perhaps had an altercation with someone there, fallen, etc…
I guess my point is that I am stuck on Rader’s words about the relevance or lack thereof as to Morgan’s movements inside the arena.
While discussing this topic, ( which is probably a dead horse at this point anyway) I would like to express my opinion on the ‘UVA, JPJ Arena conspiracy theories’.
While Morgan is apparently not seen anywhere on any security cameras inside the arena, this in no way implies that UVA or the arena itself has done anything to destroy potential evidence. I have absolutely no allegiance whatsoever to UVA, but I can assure you that this kind of cover up would be utterly impossible to carry out not to mention extremely risky and simply not worth it to the University, as the risk would greatly outweigh the reward.
( I apologize for the word choice, as Morgan’s life should not be trivialized in any way. I am simply trying to illustrate a point that so many seem unable to get. Again, sorry .)
For anyone thinking ‘cover up’ by the University, please stop and ask yourself if they would really have anything to gain and what they would have to lose by being discovered having done such a horrific thing as trying to severely impede the investigation of the death of beautiful, young coed.
The act of ‘covering up’ is not only highly complicated and complex, therefore near impossible to accomplish, it is also extremely heinous and UNLAWFUL. Bottom line, I don’t think this has happened.
I do, however, believe that UVA has purposely put distance between the University and certain (now former) members of the basketball team. Not to imply that they were involved in Morgan’s disappearance that night, but that UVA might not be completely sure that they are 100 percent innocent either.
I would like to hear from Ramona T.
Re: Morgan’s ROCKS: Good news (for Mag603 and the other person who sent a rock to the p.o. box here in CV): I checked this morning and (yea!) there were two “pick-up” notices in the box. Unfortunately, the p.o. window was closed today so I couldn’t pick up the packages/rocks, but I will on Monday and will place them immediately thereafter at Morgan’s memorial. [Will also let you know, juliemooly, so you can take/post pics; thanks again on behalf of these "rock donors".]
To any other out-of-area BOC contributors who may be inclined: please feel free to send along your rock donation now that we’re assured that the post office is successfully delivering the rocks (after some earlier hiccups).

Peggy says: “Why on earth would they walk around the arena looking for her–They ALL had cell phones! And we know she didn’t receive any texts or calls from her “friends” prior to the 8:48 phone call…right?”
Maybe Morgan was ignoring the friends’ calls to her. Most cell phones have caller I.D. that displays the caller’s name and/or phone number. If the friends had been arguing, I can see that Morgan might ignore their calls. When she got stuck outside the arena, she finally picked up Sarah’s call.
You’re right, that’s a possibility, I however do not believe that’s the case–if it was, I think we would have heard about it–LE has on more than one occasion discussed (via press conferences AND official press releases from VSP) Morgan’s cell phone activity after 8:20 (the time she allegedly left her friends to go to the restroom)–After 8:20 there was one call to SS and one text.
O-
Yes, the ‘friends’ will have to live with what ever happened to Morgan for the rest of their lives.
But, I disagree about her friends not talking b/c it could possibly hinder the investigation or b/c LE asked them not to publicly discuss the case b/c in the beginning this was a MP case, not a criminal investigation–LE at the time were actively engaging the public for information about Morgan–and for whatever reason her ‘friends’ choose to remain SILENT.
Are they required to address the public? No, they aren’t…but one has to wonder why they didn’t, especially during the fist two weeks (while it was a MP case)–even if it was just to say, “I love you Morgan” or “please let Morgan come home”, “we were sitting in section so and so, did you see us?’…anything along those lines would have been helpful, and YES, I would think that as a friend they would do ALL they could to assure Morgan came home safely.
I can only speak for myself, I do not believe her ‘friends’ owe me or anyone else anything, I do however believe they OWE Morgan and the Harrington’s.
I also think about the very first pc, at the end (around 13:00) Lt Rader addresses who I believe are Sarah, Amy and Dan–he urges them to participate and help with the investigation, Lt Rader–”hopefully we can ALL cooperate together”. Maybe I’m wrong but it seems as though there was hesitation from the very beginning. Why, at that point would the friends not want to fully participate with LE? If he wasn’t referring to Dan ,Sarah and Amy–who was he talking about? Who would he be asking/urging to cooperate?
I have never once accused her ‘friends’ of being directly involved in Morgan’s demise–perhaps her friends aren’t being as forthcoming as they should be–IMO, something just doesn’t jive about their story. Maybe there was an argument and they refused to bring Morgan her keys? I just don’t know..no one knows what was said in that conversation except SS. All we’ve been told is that Morgan said not to worry she’d find her own ride home.
The fact we don’t know why Morgan ended up outside (if she was ever there) is mind-boggling to me–as I believe that would be one of the first questions asked regardless of who called who.
I also do not believe Morgan would hitchhike home when her own car was in the parking lot–I don’t care if she didn’t have her keys–she still had every right to access her own car even without the keys.

Mom3:0–I just saw your post. Yes, Why now, do we get confirmation that the video is NOT Miss M? Why the silence before regarding videos–excellent point. What isn’t said is speaking volumes to me in regard to this whole case. I am a “virgin” as far as reading and replying to online forums. BOC is my first, and will be my only. After reading here, and doing way too many online searches, I am not nearly as naive as I was before. WOW! Just the MS and FB pages alone, have really opened my eyes. It will help me in continuing to raise my 13yo darlin’ boy-child.
It is also saddening and disheartening to observe what the family of Miss M. must endure day after day after day, as they wait and wait and wait. When any one of my family members is in the hospital, we make sure that someone is always there to act as an advocate on behalf of the patient–to question doctors, nurses, meds given tests run, etc. It seems crime victims need the same sort of advocacy right from the get-go. I keep thinking about what I would do if I were in the H’s shoes. They tried so hard to do everything right, and still the silence of not knowing who took the life of their beautiful daughter. Maybe there were too many chiefs and not enough “Indians.” I hope they find some small measure of comfort from Blink and the posters here.
Blessings to all.
There has been NO confirmation that is not Morgan. There has been a third party opinion.
I stand by my assertion that is Morgan Harrington in that video and I can assure everyone I am not alone.

Another beautiful talented young woman missing from the parking lot of the book

FWIW-I did not mean to imply they were indirectly involved either.
Lack of (correct) information in this case is very frustrating–maybe LE and the Harrington’s know exactly what was said in the 8:48 conversation.
It’s such a sad and unfortunate set of circumstances–all involved (friends) I’m SURE wished it turned out differently.

To Mary, 5/1 @7:58: very interesting. His MS is easy to find. He hasn’t logged in since 10/20, day of his arrest, and he says he’s a “lighting and special effects tech.”
He was also charged for doing same at Va Tech. Those charges are dated 10/29:
http://www2.wsls.com/sls/news/local/lynchburg/article/man_charged_in_indecent_exposure_at_virginia_tech_same_suspect_in_lynchburg/58939/
His self-described profession does not match the articles, however, which say he worked for Southern Air (HVAC contractor).

http://www2.wsls.com/sls/news/local/article/man_convicted_of_exposure_charges_appeals_sentence/65522/
So far I am getting a 3-yr sentence for him, but there was to be a case in Lynchburg Circuit Court 2/23/2010.
So, he’s incarcerated and I’m sure he’s been questioned in Cassandra’s and Morgan’s cases. Question is whether LE has DNA.
A kidnapping can happen in an instant whether the person is impaired or not. This is a strong possibility of what happend to Morgan. My previous posts were not intended to blame the victim,but merly to point out the lack of maturity of young people in caring for their friends.
I know how fast a kidnapping can happen for I saved a twenty-six year old woman from just such an altercation in 1970. This happened in a parking lot on the East side of downtown Houston, just four blocks from main street at 5:30 in the evening.
A tall lanky blond fellow, not too different in appearance from the piece of crap that killed Taylor Behl at Richmond, was leaning up against the fence at an open parking lot in the next block when I spotted him. He looked totally out of place and as is my habit, I noted this and continued to my car all the while watching him.
He then crossed the street and began walking North along the sidewalk that borderd the lot where I was parked. Suddenly, he yanked open the door of a car parked next to the sidewalk and forced the young lady to move over. I knew immediately that he did not belong in that car.
My wife was with me and I told her that something was wrong and I was going to put her in our car and then go check the situation.
In those times, downtown Houston was very dangerous after five Oclock, and I often carried a short barrel pistol in my car or my briefcase.
I got my pistol, put in the pocket of my suitcoat and headed over to the young woman’s car. She had not uttered a sound when he jumped into the vehicle, so I called out to her asking if everything was all right. She turned her head looking at me with eyes filled with fright and shook her head no. At this point I pulled my pistol from my pocket and walked rapidly to her car. When he saw the pistol and how fast I was coming, he jumped from the vehicle and ran across the street almost getting struck by traffic and continued to run for two or more blocks as I watched him.
He had jumped into her car with a knife open and told to not scream and she was so frightened that she followed his orders. If I had come to the lot five minutes later something bad would have happened.
He was ok as long as he had the knife, but the thought of being shot,which I certainly would have if he did not run when he did, was too much for him. He got away, because there was pedistrian traffic on the sidewalk and I could not take the chance of injuring an innocent person.
Women are always at risk when they attend any kind of public event and even when they are trying to get home from work. This young woman was wainting in her car for her roommate with the windows down and the doors unlocked. There are always preadators looking for an opportunity to rob or steal something from others and this sometimes results in kidnapping and murder.
Last weekend our community band played the Austin central market musical festival. Our second piece was a beautiful arrangement of the folk melody Shenandoah. The opening eight bar theme was played by the horn and Euphonium and it was my privledge to play the horn part. Morgan was on my mind when I played this and I thought of her family as I played.
Sorry, Blink–I should have been clearer about some disagreeing that the video is not Morgan–my point was that why say anything at all, and why now.
I definitely see how misperceptions can occur when posts are not read in context.
That’s funny, since I mentioned Woolridge back in 2009 and I got blasted for my interest in this nut by another poster. Never heard from that poster again…
Houston Mom: Oh, Texas Grandfather … if only you could be behind all of our daughters!! A true “Texas Hero”, you are!
I don’t understand what anyone would have to gain by saying it is not her? What would be the point?

Puts a lump in my throat — very sweet, Texas Grandfather. Love that tune.
The woman from 1970 has never forgotten you, I assure you. Wow.
Blink,what was the argument about?
TIA
Hi Observer. Heads up. I re sent my rock again to the c-ville PO box. I was told it was arrive there this past Tuesday. I hope it made it there the second time around! TIA for arranging this for us out of the area folks that wish to support this memorial.

ATG, I would love to have heard this. What a beautiful tribute. I haven’t had a living grandfather for a long time, but would love to have one like you!
Georgie above mentioned DG again. I have also wondered if Morgan partied with him while the opening act was on…remember she openly expressed interest only in Metallica. I believe he was older (already graduated, correct?), so he could buy beer, etc. If this happened, and if she indeed got separated from her friends pre-concert, as I believe has been indicated here, then she may never have made it into the concert at all…which also has been under much consideration here.
This scenario may well have been mentioned here before; I try to keep up w/all the posts, but it is difficult (in a good way) as so many folks are working so hard on figuring this thing out. I did find it odd that DG specifically pointed out how Morgan approached him, and how he was so sure she wasn’t there later. I mean no offense by this; this is just a thought.
I think it also might fit in with the number of folks in black she was seen with…the same number of folks in DG’s car?
Saramom and sueK-
Hi like you and sueK, I am choosing to read here also- Before BOC I never followed anywhere else either Saramom.
suek-I am not implying anything. I do not know what the implications of my comments are. I am just asking questions, as I have always done. I am not implying quilt to The friends or UVA or JPJ. The quilt lies with Morgan’s killer/s.
As to the importance of this video-
Blink had it for months- She held it for months. She posted saying Dr. Harrington had watched it, that he was warned about the comments under the video. (so sorry Dr. Harrington) interestingly, Days earlier, Dr. Harrington came here, and posted about a picture said to be Morgan on FM, he said it was not Morgan.
Blink posted a thread regarding this video FIRST on FM.com, which to my understanding, is watched over by Dr. Harrington.
This video is very hard to watch, inorder to see all the things that have been pointed out, one has to watch it more than once. It took me hours to review the video after Blink posted it again. HOURS
There have been many videos discussed here and elsewhere- All speculated to be Morgan and her friends- except for the Dee video, there has never been confirmation or denial regarding a video, that I am aware of.
Very soon after it was posted again, someone on FB said they had it on good authority it wasn’t Morgan or the friends.
Very soon after it was posted, someone (who is this a friend of a friend?) this person said, they talked with one of the friends and she said- that she watched it, and it wasnt them and that it couldn’t be Morgan or them, because they never left sec312. VERY SOON AFTER
Very soon after that, possibly the next morning(I am not going to reread it) someone, (Who is this a friend of Dan’s or friend of friend?) said- Dan definitely was there for the entire concert, he never left.
After six months, and several videos, we find, if the posters on FM are correct, that the friends spoke, they answered questions, and they are able to watch a video that took hours to break down and watch- one that is very poorly lit, and they know it is not them, because they NEVER left their seats. We supposedly heard more from the friends IN ONE day then we have in six months- And to my understanding, no one has ever heard from Dan.
I commented here- the next morning between 9:00 am and 11:50am- Blink, the friends say its not them they never left sec 312…..
Blink responded (pp) WAIT- I have people saying this is Morgan- WAIT I have several emails from friends saying it IS Morgan. WAIT who says they never left sec. 312?, WAIT- I have a source, an EYEWITNESS that says that is not correct. WAIT- there WAS an argument-WAIT-I know the friends were looking for her. WAIT -I know they left their seats-
What IS the importance of this video? I would like an answer to this question also, suek and Saramom.
Considering we have it on good authority?, it isnt them, and someone spoke to a friend? and she said no- not Morgan- not me -never left seats- AND someone spoke to Dan?, after watching this video, and posted his whereabouts on the video thread..
Then- AT THE SAME TIME we have it on Blink’s authority and several friends authority and eyewitness authority that this is Morgan- and the friends did leave their seats- then I would say alot of people OBVIOUSLY believe THIS video is important- it is SO important that we have heard from lots of people regarding its importance or lack thereof, where every other video was answered with silence.
Good question sueK. Saramom, Blink, and all of BOC-
Why is this video so important?
It is important because imo, it is the last known footage of Morgan Harrington.
I am not going to be baited into a debate over it.
I am not going to address some of the BS posts I have seen discounting it.
I learned moons ago to not invest in being “right”. ( Insert my “Great Idea, I had not thought of that..blah)
I earnestly believe that people are resistant to the idea because they think it ties the friends to some level of complicity. Let me say, YET AGAIN, that I DO NOT feel that way.
What it does, is confirm a timeline. It also shows an opportunity a bad guy may have seized.
Unequivocally, and without reservation, I state that the friends WERE NOT in direct view of each other for an extended period, in that venue, in that timeframe, and there is no way anyone can refute that.

Thank you crimewriter and acho. Very interesting information. Even if not related to Cassandra or Morgan, this guy sounds like he was definitely escalating so it’s good he’s in jail.
Joe, it was Candler’s Mountain. Here’s another link. I forgot about her head being detached. There were comments here I believe that that could have been the result of animal activity.

To “A Texas Grandfather”…thank you for helping that young lady so many years ago, and most probably for saving her life. So many people nowdays just pass on by and pretend not to see the predicament, pain and suffering of those around them (glad you had that pistol too my friend!)…You really touched my gut feeling too re: Morgan and the swiftness with which a kidnapping can happen. I have often wondered….even if Morgan made it to Copley bridge, how do we know that she wasn’t just snatched up on the bridge or turned around and went back towards Lannigan/RV lost and was snatched there very swiftly by a perpetrator? it could be as simple as that….no intent to go to parties, no hitchhiking…amybe she was just trying to pass time until the concert was over…(sigh)…please Blink, can you give us any more hope the end is near?
Re A Texas Grandfather May 1 2010 2:45Pm:
Great couple of last posts ATG. The picture of you on your horn playing the eight bars of the opening theme of the stirring old southern folk song “Shenandoah” and thinking of our dear shiny Morgan put a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I pray Dan, Gil and Alex find some peace. I pray they gain some small solace in knowing that she has captured the hearts of all of us and helped shine a light on the problem of abduction and violence towards women and children.
Thankyou so much for sharing that with us here on BOC .
I guess you are a little on the mushy side yourself ATG !!
Your kindness and concern shines through along with a good dose of common sense.
I would be happy to have you nearby if my daughter or I were in some sort of danger.
Music is a great healing force in the world. Peace to all lovely fellow blinks and beautiful Blink herself.
This forum gives me hope and offers solutions and compassion for victims, families of victims and any one who is suffering along with some darned effective sleuthing.
Stay steady stay strong everyone of you is valuable here.
“Clink” I raise my glass and salute you all.
BLINK, I have a question–and I apologize if I missed this info elsewhere or above. (I joined this dialogue only recently.) Can you describe the condition of MH’s shirt? What fluids were on it? Any UNKNOWN DNA? Was it only possible to identify it as Morgan’s AFTER they found her bones? I ask because I would assume that Morgan’s DNA was on one of her brushes or something immediately following her disappearance, so they could have ID’d the shirt soon after it was found. Assuming the killer really did display the shirt on the bush three weeks after MH’s disappearance (rather than leaving it somewhere out-of-the-way until someone ELSE later found it and displayed it–has anyone come forward about finding it?):
The killer’s profile is (as far as I can gather): (1) car owner; (2) probably a white male — because he knows the lay of the land at AF, and his connections there are likely white male friends or acquaintances; (3) young (early 20s), and possibly this is his first human killing, because he does not expect to be ID’d through a databank, thus he engages in some provocative and even careless behavior (see further comments); (4) very interested in notoriety and causing pain to M’s family and the community, because he displayed the shirt and did not even clean it, within a few weeks of her disappearance; (5) has “authority” issues, because he wanted to provoke LE by displaying the shirt; (6) possibly not very bright, because he ASSUMED that her body would not be found despite her shallow grave, and felt safe leaving evidence around (shirt, etc.); (7) a “local” (central VA) because he returned to the scene of the crime (C’ville) to display the shirt–i.e., he wasn’t 1000 miles away three weeks after her disappearance; (8) has some kind of connection to UVa, due to the location of her abduction and the student housing around her shirt–either has hostility to UVa (authority, elites, students, academics, etc.) OR is a student or alum who wishes to bring notoriety to himself and the U.
Sorry for the length of my comments, everyone.
Wow – what’s this all about?
http://www.findmorgan.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3389
I remember Skyler saying a “Dakota” sent a message recently. And I seem to recall someone saying their “cheese” was now on Dakoda Eades doorstep after the bust. Is this the same person?
Is it known if any of the BB players are from the AF area – or maybe they might have worked on the farm, landscaping work or something, or were any of them hunters, maybe.
I’m not ready to totally discount the fact that the video that has been oft reviewed over the last few days is actually Morgan and her group. It is true the video is dark, not of highest quality and shows only profile or back views, but to completely discount it flies in the face of keeping our options open. We have been actively seeking confirmation of her presence in JPJ for months, so remaining positive and pursuing this as a potential siting should be great news and affirmation could offer a lead that is so desperately needed.
Remember our little RSO from Toco Hill? Remember our most famous EMT who started the HFMDH? Remember his younger brother who was real close to his cousin who got shot multiple times on Jan 1?
Check out who commented on our RSO myspace page awhile back: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=60524240&albumID=664271&imageID=1365451
Mom3.0
You are exactly right about the video. Why is this one such a big deal? The last time everyone was so sure about a piece of evidence not being relevant was the shirt. I guess we know how that turned out.
I am not trying to be disrespectful to anyone but the family member of the friend of a friend is not proof enough for me. I can’t believe that so many people can be blindly led by another person.
Blink, thanks for all you do. You are definately not alone here.
TY
B
Yes indeed !!!! I believe too, that that is Morgan !!! You are right on target Blink !!! Thank you sooooooooo much for all of your work on this website. You ARE the best !!!!!!!
Are LE and FBI specialists analyzing this video? Are they finding new leads from it? It is the most compelling image I’ve seen to date. Certain posters seem to be condemning anyone for saying they think it’s them. I don’t understand this. It seems to me that a video potentially showing Morgan in the arena would be a great lead. Why do people wish to discount so desperately?
It seems a frenzy has started since you posted it. I don’t know what that means yet… but it means something.
I will not speak for LE, I am not cleared to do so.
However, I have been told by them directly.. ‘You may be right, it may be her.”
B
So nevermind – it looks like FM took the post down and has switched their format completely. I won’t link the post here but it can be found by googling “dakota” and “craigslist”. Posted May 1st. Strange read.
Acho and Mary….
It is good that creep was caught. His wife is still in HS according to her facebook profile and will graduate this year (2010). She says she’s 19 per her MS account and that her baby is three weeks old per her facebook page…(So she would of gotten pregnant last August by him)
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=100000738667207
(The above link you will have to copy and paste from http to 207 into your web-browser as for some reason on Blink’s Blog it doesn’t highlight in it’s entirety. You’ll also have to be logged into Facebook in another window to access it)
If she did know anything, it’d be reason to keep what she knows or suspects quiet, as she’s young, and pretty much all on her own being that her thirty one year old husband will be in jail for the next three years while she and her parents are raising their daughter. What’s wrong with this picture??? I have a problem with older guys who groom younger girls who aren’t mature and ready to take on the world yet. Where are the parents? -So out of touch it’s pathetic…
Blink- I couldn’t just say because it shows Morgan, because I could never make that call, and I couldn’t simply say because Blink says so.. Could I? Although, I thought I did a pretty thorough job of walking around it. Wouldn’t you say so?
Thank you for putting the “debate” to rest. Thank you for your support, and for always reviewing every piece of footage we have brought to you and countless others, that I am sure we are unaware of.
PS I heart and respect you too.
Blink,
Sorry- you probably do not call just anyone on this site !! I was shocked when I read about the peeping tom at the colleges . We had not been informed of that. Wanted to get your opinion on how to handle this. I will call the college tomorrow and ask why all the students were not told of this !!!!
Debbie
Mom 3.0, thank you for the thorough explanation and for your efforts in finding the video of Morgan.

just noticed a toco hill resident has a new mugshot date april 22nd. i wonder what the occasion was? seems LE was pretty busy that day.
____________________________
Take a look at where he is now working WITH another RSO. So these two RSO are working at a hotel. How safe are the patrons of that hotel when 2 RSO have master keys to the hotel rooms??? Why is this even allowed?
crimewriter: thanks for the info on Mr. Wooldrige. What a creep, seriously twisted and hopefully will learn his lesson being put away for three years but unfortunately, he probably won’t, men like him are ill and usually offend again.
I watched “The Lovely Bones” last night, different movie. It left me feeling empty, wondering why monsters who commit these crimes are allowed to live and breathe and go about their delusional lives. How can they still be out there, perhaps plotting their next attack while their victims are gone, their familie’s lives in ruins?
Bless you Blink for taking on this crusade. I don’t know how you do it everyday, it would drain me. So, on this Sunday, I will retreat into my meager existence, thankful that my children are safe in their rooms, go about my ordinary life and thank God for every minute and that my life is just that – ordinary.
Mom 3.0, thank you for your tireless efforts regarding the video that has become “the” hot topic. I have watched it repeatedly on a variety of monitors (without the sound, however) and with my untrained eye have noticed a number of interesting details. It has certainly uncovered some interesting information that has to this point remained private and has unleashed a myriad of comments from a variey of sources.
The confirmations and denials that the video is Morgan et al are coming from unnamed and unverified sources and no official statement has been made. Supposedly, these comments are coming from all directions and people who have been quiet to this point are responding. The fact it set off such a firestorm is significant in itself. So, we need to examine its importance. Does the video alter the timeline, does it show persons who could be POIs, does it offer insight into Morgan’s behavior or state of mind, does it substantiate or refute previous details we believed to be fact, does it catch a POI in a lie, does it place people near her or in JPJ who have denied being there, does it help substantiate or disprove an alibi, has it angered or frightened one or more individuals and started some “chatter” or activity, has it given LE a bargaining chip with an informant, has it opened doors to other scenarios of who, when and why, has it lead to the discovery of other video or still documentation, is it an indirect LE presser that is targeted to a specific piece of info, or is it being used to apply pressure to one or more individuals?
Oh, the possibilities for one short, dark, grainy piece of video. A picture is worth a thousand words…….
Morgan doesn’t look wobbly or stumbling in that vid. She fist pumps. Converses with a friend. Seems to be aware of her surroundings (looks behind her at something or someone at one point). Not that it couldn’t have snuck up on her if they were power drinking in the car, or if they took drugs of course.
Mom 3.0, I want to thank you for spending all those hundreds of hours looking for Morgan on the videos. Your painstaking work on this could assist LE to hold some individuals accountable for their actions and words.Information from this video could likely lead to other videos taken at approximately the same time. Thank you!!
This video struck a nerve for sure – it should be scrutinized with the best technology.
@osu…I too watched The Lovely Bones last night. I read the book a few months ago, and really enjoyed it. The book actually had me weeping at some points, which is very unusual for me with books, but left me with a rather positive feeling in the end. The movie, on the other hand, didn’t move me as much, and left me feeling kinda “empty”, as you said. But then I almost ALWAYS like the book better than the movie! Whenever I see something like that now, I can’t help but think of Morgan and what she must have endured, and it’s heartbreaking. And not just Morgan, anyone who is abducted and raped/murdered, I think of how terrified they must have been, what were their final thoughts? Horrible, just horrible.
Blink, I arrived here many months ago via The Hook comments, and I have basically stayed on here since. I belong to the FMH FB group, and check in there daily, but other than that, I have found BOC commenters to be intelligent, thoughtful, caring, and most concerned for Morgan, moreso than other sites such as findmorgan. I spent an afternoon on there a few weeks ago, and although there are some good comments and great photos, I found myself getting even more distracted and frankly, pissed off. So I came back on here, and it’s kinda like coming home now. I’m just going to continue on here with you B, and our diverse crew of Blinkers, until we find justice for Morgan.
Oh, and to Alexandra, you have a wonderful gift of saying what you want to say in as few words as possible…I admire that, and I always understand you perfectly, so please don’t think you and your comments are not worthy, because that is SO NOT true.
Thank You friend.
B
luvblink,PM1,
I did nothing more than many others here at BOC- Fish and Sky and crimewriter ect- I brought a video here, that I thought might show Morgan, I did nothing more, and then forgot about it.
Blink and her team did all the hard work of reviewing it and what ever other work was needed. They deserve all of the thanks and support. And if anything good or substantial happens in Morgan’s case, because of this video, Blink and her team deserve the credit, not I.
But thank you for your kindness. I am just happy to know that Blink takes all of our ramblings seriously and follows through when needed.
TO: Chad, re: Morgan ROCKS: Thanks for the heads-up, re: your second attempt at delivery. Your rock may well be one of the two awaiting me; will let you know after I retrieve the packages tomorrow. [I'm hoping/assuming you included something to indicate it was from you.] Will definitely keep you posted. TIA for your kind contribution to Morgan’s memorial.
Personally I feel that is her in the video. So many want the friends to be at fault, but again I will say that this is something that could have happened to any of us at any given time. If we put our feet into their shoes I do not know if I could even walk a step. Out of fear, anger, guilt, and so forth I would be too devastated to keep going. The friends ultimately are not the ones responsible. JPJ ultimately is not responsible. The murderer is the one responsible who I do not believe to be the friends. The very beginning Dan and Gil stepped forth asking us not to judge or blame the friends I thought long and hard about their request. After reading article after article I hold strong to my belief the friends were not involved. Yes they made mistakes that night, however, before judging those mistakes ask yourself how many times this could have happened to you but did not. Maybe not the same scenario, but this has happened countless times to numerous people. My sympathy lies with the friends as they must go on the remainder of their lives saying what if. I do not envy their position.
