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.

In Memory of Gini-I believe there are far more gentlemen and protectors in the world than there are bad guys who mistreat, abuse and kill women. These good men don’t get the recognition they deserve. Take the UVa community, I would guess there are far more male students who would never raise a hand to a woman than students such as George Huguley. I’m not saying we shouldn’t hear about and try to correct the evil that does exist, but to use abusive devils as the standard by which all men are judged is not fair to our fathers, husbands and brothers who are good, kind and honorable.
Blink i don’t understand it all for my poor english do you think or know if LE is progressing in Morgans case?
Yes.

deetee – That is one of DS’ myspace pages. It’s an on earlier one. Here’s his current one: http://www.myspace.com/chezy69 (intesting he calls himself chezy).
Also, in this link http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=60524240&albumID=664271&imageID=1365451 I was referring to the person who posted on Dec. 21 – It’s WT’s brother.

____________________________
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?
____________________________
i couldn’t find the coworker at the same employer. i found someone working at a similar, if not the same address, but not the same employer. search tip, please?
**************************************************************
When I posted about the 2 RSO’s working at the same motel on May, I am 100% sure they were both listed as employed there. You can do a map search to only include work places and I try to check it out regularly just for safety reasons. When I clicked on the red building that indicates a RSO works there, Dillon Shifflett’s name and another RSO both came up for the Sleep Motel on 5th St. Extended in Charlottesville. I am 100% sure. So, does that mean Dillon’s co-worker was fired in the past few days or maybe it means VSP updated the registry in the past few days.
I hope that the Sleep Motel has dead bolt locks on their patron’s doors. How scary, but a good reminder to always secure your dead bolt lock when staying in a motel or hotel.
Check out EMH’s new photo taken today. He looks scarier than the first. Has a beard and mustache and his eyes look more vacant (if that is possible) than before. It still says a palm print is needed. Why would they not take the palm print while he is there getting his picture taken? Still working for a plumbing company and coming into unsuspecting people’s homes.
Mary, you and others are correct in that this forum can have many functions and reasons to exist. I have reflected on same and believe I can speak for many by saying the following:
For the Harringtons:
The loss of a child is devastating and destabilizing to the strongest amongst us. Loss to accident, war, or disease can be rationalized and perhaps understood over time. Loss of a beloved child to evil cannot be fully rationalized or comprehended or understood in any meaningful capacity. Perhaps in some very small way the community of the decent can share just a trace of the pain, longing and confusion which you will always bear in some degree.
I do not know if it is at all comforting to you that thousands, including this on-line community, will always bear a sliver of the collective horror of humanity left in your daughter’s wake, but I do hope such is the case.
These circumstances so often shatter families, I think in part, because most of us retreat into ourselves when saddled with such profound burdens. I most sincerely hope, Dan and Gil that your collective efforts to be courageously open, intellectually honest, and profoundly involved in the aftermath of this unthinkable crime against your family, will permit your family and you as individuals to not just survive but return in time to a life of balance and meaning despite the load that you will bear.
My thoughts therefore are with you, the Cantu’s, the Morton’s, and all those shouldering the same load, we are honored to walk amidst you whether or not we can share your burden.
Dear Dr. and Mrs. Harrington:
I too, have had that very impossible task of emptying a life’s collection. A collection that spanned every thought, feeling, and emotion she ever had. Her plans for her future. Her bundles of joys and her hidden devastations.
But, I did not have your strength. I was absolutely incapatitated. I had a baby on my hip.
I was shocked that what had just happened, happened. It was not real. I was standing at The Met, looking at Joan of Arc. How could I not have been there? She needed me and still does even now. Morgan does too.
It was just enough that I could muster up enough in me to do what I needed and had to do. She was counting on me. This is why I feel so strongly about seeking help and support. Love and guidance. I know what I did wrong! I hope that Morgan’s friends and their parents know what positive role models they have in the both of you. I know how to do it alone and dysfunctional. It needn’t have been that way. This is why I am so tough on them. It is not a choice that I wanted chosen for me, for any of us. They do not box a life up.
So, I put every last item of hers inside dozens of blue rubbermaid bins. Every single last item. It was overwhelming. It was riduclous and someone needed to step in and give me that wisdom you and your wife so eloquently wrote. I am learning so very much by your path you now have to walk in life and as a mother myself, I feel Gil’s despair. I wanted rules too.
I wrote one time here, that I would need help and received back more offers than I would have imagined. They gave me love, faith, and reassured me that there are truly good people out here. They offered to come over and go through those bins with me. See, I packed the pens and pencils on her desk, cans of spraypaint(stupid, I know), and yes, even the paper trash in her wastecan. How could I get rid of it, we needed it, I needed it. She touched it.
It is only now that I can go and even look inside those bins. What a nut I was. I looked into one the other day and saw the colored pencils, paper, misc art supplies. It was a start. They are now out for the kids to use and I took many to their schools. They should be used in the here and now. Being enjoyed by those she would have loved seeing used by young hands.
I still hold onto the clothes, though. I cannot bear to part with. I know, I know, I should be moving ahead, it has been years but how can I? I just may need to show them someday. It is strange. Could I be strange? I have had others leave us, die. So, why can I let go of those things and not of hers? Maybe it is because they leave the way it was intented to be. Not of such severe pain and anguish. Of violent circumstances and greed.
I thank you and wish that there was more I could do. There is not. Not even a little bit. I just hope that we somehow help you and do not cause you anymore pain than you already have. It really is overwhelming but like Blink posted after her radio appearance,
“Your too kind Fish, I wish I had some progressive something or other- so, we keep at it. B”
We keep at it. Agreed.
I had thought to leave you alone in your healing and I know this might hurt, but also, in your pain. Sometimes that is what you want. To be left alone. I was questioning it yesterday. I felt at odds of what it is we do here. But, I was given some signs; three little words of encouragement “love to you”, a beautifully written thank you card, and kisses from the other best hugger, my daughter. She even sent kisses to heaven for a friend! BOC
So, in the end, keep what makes you feel good. Feel Morgan. There is no one else that will give that to you. She is gone but never far from your hearts and never forgotten. Put something of hers on everyday. It helps and people around you will start to understand and feel your loss. Believe it or not, it is a good thing!
See, people said to me,
“Oh, your sister was no saint” and I have always said,
“No, but I never needed her to be, just needed her to be here!”
Morgan’s memory that you will have to live with is not one of denial or jusitification or the reasons she did what she did…it will be that…and people who have not suffered a loss as this, might have a hard time understanding, but it will be of never wrapping your arms around her, stroking her hair, and yes, being able to send her to a rock concert. We live with the hole in our heart but so it goes…
If you are setting the example, then it is I who follows.
much love and appreciation, fish
Gil was just on tv – she took Morgan’s ashes to Africa and mixed them in the cement for the foundation of the school – to be named for her daughter.
Blink, was it just a rumor that LE had asked news sites not to discuss certain things on the forums? I have seen that statement repeatedly on another site and if it was just a rumor, it seems there were people on the forums that for some reason didn’t want certain things discussed. Seems to me like lost opportunity to make progress. IDK, it bothers me that they are still saying it.
I think that it is more of that forums directive. I have been told by VSP that they will never censor content.
I think it is more of a potential liability issue. Keep in mind, a forum is very different than this site in it’s verifications of poster ip’s, etc.

thanks concerned bystander and mom. i was able to find the other, but that said DS’s work address was 290 pantop. some stuff seems to need some updating i guess.
concerned mom, emh’s new photo does not seem to be “in” anywhere. there are trees in the background so it could have been at his home.
An article in the http://www.nbc29.com/Global/story.asp?S=12414446
is about an archeologial dig in Albermarle Co. at Morven Farm.. I am
trying to locate that farm and see if it is near Anchorage Farm. Artifacts are being found that are 3k years old. Another poster wondered who might carry a tarp and I had written last night of people that might tote a tarp around in their truck or jeep,
including an archeologist. Students often go on local digs if they
are interested in archeology. Maybe G. Huguley did a bit of digging
in Albermarle at various sites. I know it might be a wild streth but
this article really jumped out at me today. I thought about Y. Love
and then our Morgan, the trauma they both suffered. Has the UVA
archeology class ever done a dig at Anchorage?
Sorry if I double posted that last comment Blink- I am having some computer issues, I think- and now my post didn’t show up in moderation so I am hoping it reached you regardless.
I am disturbed by some of these coincidences that are coming to light in Yeardley’s case and Morgan’s case- Location location location- and I realize that VSP has said there isn’t any connection, which says to me that they have looked at it- and eliminated GH of any involvement- but I can’t help but ponder the coincidences-
fraternity location?
Morgan’s car in cage lot location?
rvlot = sports people parking location?
purse find and location?
AF and cemetery location?
Shirt find location?
Yeardley’s apartment location?
GH apartment location?
At the very least, I think that Yeardley’s murder has shown us that the net in Morgan’s case may need to be widened again….
Absolutely.

Pomona71, Very interesting post. Yes,students have tarps at their disposal. They carry tarps around in their units- They are also very interested in the past, in old cemeteries, slave burials, plantation burials, ect. Here are some links that I found:

——————————-
Haven’t people been saying on this site that the Murderer has killed…and will kill again??? While I realize that Yeardley and George HAD a past relationship, I certainly hope that LE is going to look closely at his computer/cell phone activity prior to Morgan’s disappearance to see if he ever attended parties down in the NG area as well as his activity in October and January.
Let’s also remember This kid took Yeardley’s computer… Morgan’s camera is missing.
Yeardley’s murder screams that even rich, educated, athletic “good boys” have secrets and the circle MUST widen to include others besides RSO’s and those with less than honorable hobbies.
We have been basically been lead to believe RSO’s in the area may or may not be responsible for Morgan’s death….why do you suppose that is? Answer: Because UVA doesn’t (didn’t) want blood on their hands…
Hasn’t Gil, Dr H and many posters speculated that Morgan’s killer has killed…and will kill again???
FACT: Morgan was last seen on UVA grounds (technicality she was on the bridge, lets be honest people – she was in UVA territory).
FACT: She was last seen by UVA Basketball players.
FACT: She was last seen with 4 Boys in Black
FACT: LE is now confirming that Morgan’s purse was found by a UVA LAX player!
FACT: Norma Parsons swears she saw her with 3 boys ON THE LAWN.
FACT: A murder was committed 7 months later in UVA territory.
FACT: Morgan’s shirt was “placed” just a stones throw from recent murder scene.
FACT: The victim was a beautiful young 20 year old female student – like Morgan (note, how would a murderer know if Morgan was local student or an out of town student. Does it matter? She was on/near UVA grounds).
FACT: The murder was committed BY a UVA student…..
Fact or Fiction? LE chose to treat Morgan as a Missing Person until her body was found.
Fact or Fiction? LE has chosen to withhold relevant information to keep the focus off of the University.
Fact or Fiction? The 4 BIB that Morgan was last seen with have been identified but their identities are being withheld. UVA students perhaps?
Fact or Fiction? LE has never confirmed that Morgan was murdered on Anchorage Farms – for all we know, she was murdered on/near the last place seen (UVA territory) and was moved to AF in the now admitted “black tarp”
Fact or Fiction? Norma Parson’s story of seeing Morgan on the Lawn was discredited by all (less The Hook’s Courtney Stuart who now publishes that Morgan’s purse was found by a Lacrosse Player- coincidence?)
Fact or Fiction? Local RSO’s have been on display as POI”s for Morgan’s murder.
Fact or Fiction? UVA staff/students have the equivalent of “Diplomatic Immunity” from crimes unless of course they confess (and then they are erased from all athletic rosters as if they were never “One of Us”)
Fact or Fiction? Several Comments on many of the Morgan/Yeardley news articles paint a picture of a university that is in denial about their rape, alcohol abuse and violence history.
Fact or Fiction? LE’s hands are tied by Politics that prevents them from include UVA in their scope of investigation of Morgan’s murder.
Again: Hasn’t Gil, Dr H and many posters speculated that Morgan’s killer has killed…and will kill again???
Seriously? Is LE that impotent that they are only “allowed” to point fingers at the “easy” targets? Is LE’s hands tied when it comes to stepping onto UVA’s territory to investigate a crime? If so, I can guarantee that Morgan’s murder will never be solved. I completely believe this now. To completely blanket UVA students and staff from Morgan’s investigation and to withhold/mislead information that is relevant to her case is a disgrace to the Harringtons, to the local community and to Morgan.
What kind of monster is in the community of C-ville area?
Addressing the age ,possible accomplices ,peeping tom arrests around campus and the possible enjoyment of inflicting pain .
Not to mention another possible murder by this individual.
Read this short chapter in the book ” The Evil Men Do:FBI Profiler Roy Hazelwood’s Journey Into the Mind of the Sexual Predator.
Go to google books search(I can’t link yet,sorry)for the title read chapter 12 “My Intention Was to Inflict Fear”.
This filth Jon Barry Simonis “The Ski Mask Rapist”was part of a nation wide man hunt and I think as a youth has a profile that maybe similar to this perp here.
My mother and father were also unfortunately 2 of his last victims before he was caught in 1981.They were not killed but you would have to read his m. o. its a short chapter .There are details there that strike me as similar.
My father never told me what happened(details).I just read them recently.
If your a girlfriend or friend of Morgan’s killer and you can’t live with this anymore turn him in.Read for yourself he won’t stop and your not safe either.
If your a poster here ,and many have been touched by this kind of evil like my family has ,God Bless you.
This is an eye opening interview with this perp by the FBI that will hopefully encourage readers to forever be on your guard.
Many thanks to those who care so deeply to put the puzzle pieces together here and help the Harringtons and Blink.
Here’s to getting her killer(s) off the streets.R
Geeze – joeamerica, great thoughts. As for Gil, I so love that woman!

Bravo, Joe. Beautiful post.
Blink, are you feeling that Morgan’s case is close to be solved or is an arrest not in the immediate picture as things stand right now? And, do you feel that Yeardley and Morgan are definately not related? I trust your feelings/instincts, which is why I ask.
J
I gotta leave that one alone today.
B
I would be interested to know when Yeardley broke up with George. Wonder if it was around October? I, in my own head, cannot role these two cases out as being related. I think they still could be.
so what is GH’s tie to the farm?
I am having all the same thoughts as Mom3.0–so many coincidences, not to mention the unusual physical violence of the two murders. GH clearly has that highly narcissistic, “entitled” personality also. Very strange.
What if Love was going to tell/ expose something that GH did since she would be graduating and leaving soon for her career?
Two things: I hear through a parent of a UVA women’s soccer player who knew Yeardley that GH had been threatening her for a while–she was scared of him.
AF connection to GH: related to drugs/growers/dealers, parties, etc.?
Olivia-
I cannot publish that, that is strictly rumor.
B
Olivia, and Cosmo,
Hello. First , let me say, I am not gung-ho about making ANY connection to GH and Morgan Harrington. Nor am I trying to place GH on the suspect list. I am just alittle taken aback by the possible coincidences in both cases.
I do not know what GH’s connection to AF is, or even if there is one. But I would think GH, being into anthropology, would have an interest in the same things most other anthropology and archeological students were/are interested in- some areas I attempted to show in the links I posted previously.
I would think that a student of anthropology and/or archeology would find Anchorage Farm, its cemetery, and its history very interesting. I know other historical places in Virginia have been looked at by students, including slave cemeteries.
I have not found a direct link to these students, any of them, and Anchorage Farm. I just happen to think it most certainly could be in the realm of possibilities, that AF would hold their interest.
One last possible connection, shortly after the Location Location Location press conference, it was speculated that AF, in the past, was a place that fraternities hung out at, for one reason or another.
Gawd I have missed you.
B
Being that AF is listed as a historic place and publications exist concerning the components of the property and vague descriptions of the land topography, I have to wonder just how many visitors drop by. I don’t mean people just driving by and stopping at the gate, I mean actually driving up to the house, making verbal contact with Mr. Bass and asking permission to say, visit the cemetery or take a look around. (If that even happens) (-And if so, was it allowed prior to the discovery of Morgan’s remains?) Certainly GWH could be connected. However, if VSP is commenting that they are positive he is not connected to MH’s murder that tells me they have their eyes and circumstantial evidence on other person(s). In the mean time, I’m going to keep exploring other connections.
intimately familiar…
intimately familiar…
intimately familiar…
intimately familiar….
IMO I think we need to go back to the beginning. Something happened inside the arena that resulted in Morgan’s being outside. Of course what ultimately caused her death happened later and was indeed outside/away from the arena, but I still feel the events and how they played out inside is of utmost importance. What happened and why is nagging the living hell out of me and I feel there is a reason it’s nagging the hell out of me….it’s important.
Although I’d like to believe these 2 cases are related with GH being Morgan’s murderer, I honestly don’t think he is. Sure there are coincidences, but that could be said about other things/people as well.
I just hate to see us give this jerk lots of our energy when 1. he deserves nothing and 2.we owe it to Morgan to keep our focus entirely on her. I could be wrong, but I trust LE on this one….these 2 cases are not related.
Everything you know about this is going to continue to haunt you. This is someone’s daughter we’re talking about. This was someone with a future, and it was all taken away. If you’re having trouble speaking for yourself, speak for her. She can’t speak anymore so speak for her…
Ditto Blink-:)
I check in everyday, but have been reading and researching-
I have a question for you, or for one of your many contributors-
What is the name of the cemetery on Anchorage Farm?
I have attempted to find the links that were posted here shortly after Morgan was found, regarding Anchorage Farm and its historical significance including detailed records on who is buried there. I have been unable to find them-
Can anyone post the links to AF- its cemetery and its history? TIA
http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Albemarle/002-0734_Anchorage_2001_Final_NR.pdf
It does not have a separate name, although the funerary designation is part of the registry.

RE: I agree with you. A while back I suggested that I thought there was a connection with UVA undergrads who were studying natural resources and AF.
Every day that passes that we don’t have all the answers is only a day closer to when we do. I think this is going to be one “hellUVA” story.
CW-
Can you “dig up” that reference re natural resources?

RE:
From Charlottesville, drive south on Monacan Trail Road (Rt.29) Approximately four miles south of I-64 you wills see Arrowhead Farm on a hill on your left. This was the home of Samual Baker Woods, a son of Reverend Edgar Woods who established Pantops Academy for boys. Samual Woods was, in addition to serving Charlottesville mayor in the 1890′s, an orchardist and farmer. the main house was built about 1840.
CONTINUE south on Route 29, & in five miles you will see the Anchorage high on a hill on your right, in a copse of trees. The brick & stone main house at Anchorage Farm was built about 1825, and has been the home of the Lewis and White families. The original house plan is two stories over a basement, with a hall and parlor configuration. in the middle of the nineteenth century, the north wing was added and the house remodeled into the then-popular Italianate and Gothic Revival styles. The property also includes an early twentieth-century barn and a family cemetery.
CONTINUE south on Route 29 exactly 8.5 miles from I-64, and take a right onto Plank Road (Route 692) This intersection is North Garden, a historic rural community. One-tenth of a mile on your right is the Inn at the Crossroads. located on the Staunton-James River Turnpike.
CONTINUE west on Plank Rd. about a quarter of a mile. On your right is the site of the Albemarle County Fair, held every July (the rest of the year it is a cow pasture!)
Now here’s the avenue you need for exploring. Go to the Albemarle County Tax/Property/Records search. There you can look up the property of where the fire took place. You’ll see who the current and previous owners of the property are. You’ll see whose name matches up with one of the common names of a deceased buried in the AF family cemetery. Worth exploring from there with modern connections.

Let’s go back a bit on AF…You never know when you’ll learn something new….
Virginia Historical Inventory Project (The Anchorage) Title page and pg’s 2-5
http://lvaimage.lib.va.us/VHI/html/02/0254.html
When someone has some free time…Please explore the Virginia Conservation Commission Division of History, The United States Works Progress Administration. Start searching the Full Catalog, Books and Journals, Archives and Manuscripts, & the Images and Indexes. Search under titles and words such as The Anchorage, near Red Hill P.O., Albemarle Co., Va. search for the obits of ALL of the ones buried at AF. Here’s your resource link to finding at least a little new gold.
http://lva1.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/F/?func=file&file_name=find-b-clas29&local_base=clas29
You’re going to have to search out hard and play around with this link a little bit. I’m not discouraged, I just don’t have as much time as I’d like to spend time searching due to work.
Finally. Someone who has cell service tomorrow (unlike my office where I don’t) Please call the Anchorage Inn Bed and Breakfast in Chesapeake. (Reedsville, Va. I think it is) Find out how the name of that particular home within the millionaire row of homes got that name. And any connections, old or new with anyone familiar.
Thanks crime-writer. Great researching!
I remember your post about the natural resources- Good point, there are so many possible avenues to look into- I also remember there being a study on beetles – I tried to locate the links -but unfortunately I do not remember enough to recall- but I do remember that a college was involved in some of the research.
I will get started looking at all of your research tomorrow, crimewriter. I am off to bed now- Hopefully tomorrow will bring J4M
Youtube video of The band Here’s to the Long Haul playing The Harder They Come in Charlottesville Virginia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n3lOIwuqBs
At 1:47 the camera pans to the audience and the darker haired dude on the left looks a lot like George Huguely. The audience is visible from 1:41 – 1:52
This video was dated approx December 11 or 12, 2009 when it was first posted, but the date was changed to December 17, 2009 and the location changed to Charlottesville, VA instead of Anchorage Farm. It appears to be taken in the old farmhouse.

Pomona71, Morven Farm is a $45 million estate that John Kluge gave to the UVA Foundation, and it isn’t that near to Anchorage Farm. It’s “down the road” from Monticello.
Fish,
I still wear my brother’s clothes – and he was killed in 1988. I wear his T-shirts and I used to wear his jeans (until I had my 2nd child!) and we still have boxes of his belongings which move with us from house to house to house and which sit in a tall stack in the corner. Slowly – about a box a year we sit down for hours and sort through – we throw away, we put back into use, we put back into another box and continue to save. It’s a heart-wrenching exercise which my mother and I do when we feel strong and have time. I smiled when I read that you put her art supplies into use for your children –
Thank you for sharing . . . . .

Excuse me, Mom3.0 and Blink, I was simply speculating above. Someone asked what the possible connections were between GH and AF, and I speculated, just as others have done many times here. I would think a guy like GH who clearly makes time for “recreation” (as in, drunk and disorderly, jumping off yachts, that sort of thing) may have connected with various others who link up to AF somehow. On the other hand, his anthro/arch link may be the key. The AF arch siginificance is very intriguing. I tend not to believe that GH is responsible for MH’s murder either, but there are odd overlaps, the lacrosse connection and GH’s proximity to the shirt.
What did I miss?
If your referring to me not posting the rumor you heard- I would not have posted that from any poster.
You did nothing wrong, I just can’t verify it so it did not get posted.
B
I was doing some research, because honestly, although I agree it is in until it is out, I (sadly) don’t think George Huguely is likely related to Morgan because guys like that aren’t all that strange. Domestic violence is ridiculously common. In the city where I live, which has about 120k people, it is the #1 reported crime…as I believe it is in many moderately sized cities around the country. Sadly, guys who drink often beat those closest to them. So anyway, I came across this report:
http://www.vsp.state.va.us/downloads/Crime_in_Virginia_2009.pdf
I recognize that this is probably a statistic anomaly, but WHAT was going on in Virginia last October? Check out page 15, which shows the graphs of the reported forcible rapes in 10/09.

Hi Olivia- I was only speculating also. I Just thought I would bring up the fraternity angle, as it has been talked about earlier. I also wanted to pass along what I had researched about AF ect. I am sorry if I came off as dismissive regarding your possible drug connection. That was not my intention- fact is, you could be right. Have you read Blinks new article? Most everyone has moved over there now. Hope to see you and the rest posting over there.

ps Blink, I forgot to thank you for the link on AF. I appreciate it. Thanks
Your most welcome friend.
B
Dear Radiogirl I am so sorry for what your parents went through it is unspeakable and unacceptable, my prayers and love go out to them and to you, I really value your input here on BOC.
TJ, wow I looked at the crime report from Virginia for Oct 2009 and it spiked so high I echo your thoughts WHAT was going on in Viirginia last October??
Oh, I was just thinking about some previous comments here concerning IS, mainly, plus the E family, when I speculated above.
I check in every day – hoping for justice for Morgan… Hope that LAX fiend gets the DP – but of course, that won’t happen. Hope he gets put in general population…. Hope the other prisoners find him “real purty…” My little future stock tip…. Vaseline sales to go through the roof. Well, we can only hope. I don’t think Gross George had anything to do with Morgan’s tragedy. But if LE can link him to it yippeee…
