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.

“It’s time to turn the focus where it belongs and that is on LE doing their jobs and being held accountable for not doing so.”
I agree. Did ANYONE ever do a professional fire investigation on the Sutherland Road house to see if it was arson or not?
It is not closed, however, I can confirm there are no plans to rebuild the structure…

in some ‘religions’ new moons are also a time for sacrifice

I noticed that connection too between CJ, AG, WT, CE. If you look at the RIP CWE FB page you will notice that CJ was informing posters of the funeral arrangement for CWE, sounds really close to me.

I’m sure people already know this, but facebook provides the following info:
CJ Morris lists Wayne Townsend and Abby Gibson as relatives. Abby Gibson is one of the creators for the facebook group “RIP Willie Morris.” It seems overwhelmingly likely, then, that Wayne Townsend is related to Sheriff Morris who took his own life shortly after the discovery of Morgan’s body.
Hummingbird- Every time I hearthat song I think of YOU and Morgan all of BOC- So happy to have you back-

Why, do you mean the same Abby Gibson that was a close friend of Colby Eppards??
B
—Yes and WT changed his My Space drastically shortly after Morgan went missing and was listed on the confirmation page to attending the concert right next to Morgan…and was a volunteer EMT of fireman was he not?
It seems there are quite a few people in young Colby’s life that took advantage of him..his loyalty and…or am I reading too much into this?
Yes’m.

Hi Justice,
Are your kids in N Garden? I have gone through the roster and I know who the FF is.
He has a criminal record (both violent and sexual, though he is not an RSO), and he is on the NGVFC.
He fought the Sutherland house fire.
He took off to NJ for an unknown reason the very next night, turning around and returning to North Garden immediately.
He now works for an electrical contractor, where an RSO by last name of Cash also is employed.
His cousins, possibly those in the car to NJ with him, supposedly house an altogether different RSO?
He lives on the same stretch of road in Schuyler where a wanted man, also with last name of Cash, was found hiding in a basement. Where are the updates to that story? Can anyone reassure me that this FF was not, in fact, housing a fugitive 2 months after he fought an unresolved and mysterious fire on Sutherland Rd?
What gives? How can we NOT ask these questions?
I have always felt indebted to and believed the best about these volunteers! The 98% who truly are honorable and heroic deserve my respect and gratitude. I also know they are human. However, this kid (1) destroyed property in ’06, (2) was found guilty of assault in ’06, and (3) earned a pornography charge in ’05. That was for making obscene phone calls; I have no idea what those calls have to be like to get a pornography conviction. But does this sort of record clear a background check?
How is there a contractor who will hire him AND an RSO, and how in the name of God has another plumbing company hired EMH? Do I need to get my own electrical and plumbing licenses? Because I sure as h*ll do not want these people handling the wiring and water in my family’s home.
I have had it.
If that has frosted your shorts, your really going to be peeved that cheesy jumpsuit is working for a member of the NGVFD….

anotherB: I don’t know if Morgan was familiar with this band. I would personally hope not for many reasons. I went to the site and its as awful as you might expect. IMO. That Angel one is worse. I think we are checking it out to see what can be found, and if you find something post it. I like to think this thread was a sort of ‘coming out’ party, & wait to see what shows up.
“It is not closed, however, I can confirm there are no plans to rebuild the structure…
B”
Well, if it is not bulldozed then possibly some useful information can be gleaned by a professional arson investigator (not by the locals). There is no excuse for an arson investigation that could be crucial to Morgan’s murder case taking this long.
Well, maybe there is..
B
Blink and BOC posters, Please keep up the great work. My jaw has hit the floor several times over today’s posts. acho, It sounds like between wiring and plumbing courses, you’ll have to squeeze in a firefighting program. Sorry I can’t contribute much research these days, dealing with work and family crises, including damage done by a slimy pervert-on-the-loose. But I read several times a day, just in case something clicks for me.
Don’t apologize Lizzy-
You are a devoted advocate for Morgan, take care of what you need to as a priority, as we all do.
B
The friends….if they just drove home – they must have known why Morgan left – where she went – why she went and they were not at all concerned. I am not blaming them because they did not see any problem with whatever Morgan was doing, apparently. Again, I’m not blaming them and I think the Harrington’s are not blaming them I just wonder if LE knows why she left, but I don’t guess they will reveal that at this time. I think LE is trying to solve this – but it may be a long haul. Looks like the Cummings case may be breaking. But what about Natalee Holloway, Jon Benet Ramsey. I’m not trying to be negative, but I guess I take up for the police – they often put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Just like all of you I want this solved as soon as possible and the perp to be caught and locked up and the key thrown away. Nancy Grace is going nuts right now looks like a sad ending for little Haleigh.
My comment to GIFTER didn’t make the mod cut.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us Gifter. That is a journey I wish I could make to pay my respects. God bless~
Yes, B, I am extremely ticked off. I feel like I’ve been unwilling to look at the firefighters, because in my book they’ve always been the heroes, the “good guys.” Feeling mighty naive right about now. Has this been the attitude of the general public as well? What about VSP? Has anyone *really* scrutinized the FFs yet?
(I know, I know: most of these FFs are just as honorable as they seem, but I feel we are dealing with a crowd in Albemarle–and beyond–that is thick as thieves. Now that you’re turning over the rocks, I repeat that I sincerely hope the girlfriends/fiances/wives are thinking hard.)
New Question:
Is this Abby Gibson you all mentioned related to the young man of same surname in Ruckersville (Greene County) who died February 15, 2010?
I have no idea how he died, but sounds as if he was a new father. I hate to contribute actual names, BTW, but I have been wondering about this kid, and now that the last name is out there, I just wonder if they are related …
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dailyprogress/obituary.aspx?n=brandon-allen-gibson&pid=139807972
Mr. Gibson had 2 brothers that are currently engaged to Gardner sisters..
Sad event.
B
Is the firefighter that White Cheddar is working for the same firefighter that took a late night trip to Jersey?
No.
B
Is anyone actively working the Sutherland fire site?
Coincidence or Clue, In-2-da-Deed.
I’ve been trying to jump back on the B train for two days now – there’s just so much too process and absorb and nod at and shake my head at and drop my jaw at and tear up at and… friggin’ recoil at!
I mean, seriously, folks – all due respect to musicians of every ilk (I’ve got some practicing in my basement right now!) – and perhaps it’s just my crappy MacBook speakers – but… damn. TWBC… in trying to describe their sound… the coined-this-very-minute term “demonic car-alarm” comes to mind. I’ll leave my, um, review at that.
Also, I’m not sure how it’s been determined that the band’s practice space was at no-longer-habitable 3323, but anyone else note that, as of 2/2/10, TWBC was “looking for a new practice space.”
CoC?
B – I am still pondering what It is, exactly, you stepped in, but good looooord does it Smell. Kudos on the tenacious local investigating you and your editors/BOC Field Agents have undergone. Who knew there were so many rocks resting on worms around Cville, just waiting to be overturned…
Speaking of, I’m wondering how I missed the fact that there is not *one* 20-year-old RSO – but two! at least! living close to AF, with said occupants of respective households likely passing one of its entryways nearly every day, and both within bike/ATV distance.
CoC?
And this newest Nip in our stale box o’ cheez Crackers – was it Auntie THC (heh) ahem. — was it THC’s 14-year-old daughter (in June ’08) whom he sexually assaulted on Stone Creek Lane? The crime for which he served 5 months (through the first quarter of 2009)?
Of course, I’m totally speculating on the connection…
I just couldn’t help but notice the lone comment on the article announcing Greene County’s Clazziest Caretaker’s catalog of sex crimes:
http://www2.greene-news.com/gcn/news/local/article/local_woman_faces_sex_charges/29199/

“What amazes me is this woman just went to court regarding her daughter who is underage and was sexually assualted! How could she turn around and do the same thing to other families???!!! All I can say is it takes a special kind of crazy to do something like that!”
On a different note, I can say with almost certainty that Randy S. is indeed related to Sarah S. – but, it’s his (cousin’s? brother’s?) wife – not MH’s shitty friend:

A shout out to Blink, Suz, Mary, Eloise, Bob-dog, Marci, Mom3, Skyler, Fish,
Duannah, Hummingbird, and Loni for your kind remarks concerning
my trip to Charlottesville. It was a privilege, and a very special and enlightening trip. I plan to be back there the day that lady justice speaks her mind-if not before!
Hi Mary,
I hope I didn’t confuse you by saying, “I walked “up” to the bridge.”
There are no steps. It is just a sloping sidewalk. Only a couple minutes to walk. Picture Copeley Rd as any 2 lane street. U-hall is on 1 side of the street and the RV lot is across the street. That’s what was so shocking to me. It would be just like crossing a regular street. Everything is so close,not spread out at all.
Hey Duannah,
I answered you personally also, but wanted to acknowledge you here. I appreciate all that you are doing in North Garden to try and flush out this evil creature, and bring justice for Morgan!
I have a special apron set aside to assist you in the kitchen!
I too, was saddened and angered at the comments made about the bridge and Morgan’s warriors. There is not a thing on the sidewalk, or anything impeding the walkway. Dr. Harrington has some locals that check it periodically, and the warriors were just there.
I think what people don’t realize, when they see the pictures of the bridge, is that the side walk is not flush with the wall. There is maybe a 12 in space in front of the wall….that runs the length of the wall. This is where larger rocks sit, a beautiful silver angel stands, a bulletin board with personal notes leans up against the wall etc. No chance that anyone would trip. There was room for joggers and walkers to go by, as we stood there. D,I hope you can post your pics when you get back…since mine look like mouse print:0)
Blessings to all of you kind, caring people!
J4M!!
Teacher, teacher: Another comment did not go through on my crackberry. So I have to ask again, should I edit my previous posts up wayy above?
I can do that you know and do not mind either!
Anything for you and seeking the truth for Morgan.

Please note some photos. They, meaning FireDudes, can set them, put them out but not figure out how the one on Sutherland Road started?
Maybe they, not firepersons but the BG(s) tried to clean up the site with an enzyme-type cleaning agent and when that didn’t work, they let it burn…
Fast and Hot!
FYI Miss Blink: AS I can talk hair!
Most over-the-counter(not professional) flat irons, curling irons, and yes, hot rollers these days have an auto-off feature, unless someone borrows mine and well, since I have mine from 1982, then I would agree with you. That fire did not start with one left on.
Just my opinion on fire-starting to the fire people who investigate fires!
Maybe it will help in the investigation that started the blaze from Hell!
Bigtime O/T to Sky: I’m afraid to admit it but I have single-handedly managed to aggravate myself today! Post problems, work problems, and bullying issues!

Blink: I’ve started my search of names and am still in October. It may take me awhile to catch up but as I have become a club member, it will be easier and a whole lot more economical. Maybe I can put that money towards Morgan’s causes that were near and dear to her heart. I can think of no better way as Mrs. Harrington is over there, doing what she can to make a difference. It is the very least I can do here.
What a role model she is for me and really all of us!
Lights on people! Lights on!
I might start with October 18, around 2 am. 149 Brookwood Crozet…
Seems the addy does not exist, except for a fire call.
Seems the ONLY firehouse in ACFEMS has a deleted roster, and 6 volunteers leaving since the mandatory background check..
Seems there is a nebotism issue to ACPD.. Jus sayin’

Someone on FM posted some of the info that was in the Cosmo article:
–”Almost everything was in it (the purse), including her cell phone, and other items were scattered nearby.”
And she ran with a tight group of lifelong friends called The Nine (which morphed into 10 with the addition of Morgan’s roommate Amy).
None of it added up. Morgan was the type to always arrange for a designated driver, and she had installed a combination lock on the door of her Virginia Tech bedroom for extra security. She didnt like taking chances, even when she was out partying. Why would a woman with that sort of caution suddenly decide to hitchhike?
Meanwhile Morgan’s friends were desperate to do something besides simply post updates online. “Every second of the day, whatever it is you’re doing, you’re thinking of Morgan,” says Maggie Herrick, one of The Nine…………Everybody was trying to stay positive but it was hard for Maggie. Her father is a cop, she already knew the odds against finding Morgan alive. “I just couldn’t sit at my computer and do nothing,” says Maggie. “This is my friend’s life.
Every time I saw the word friends in quotation marks, it broke my heart,” says Maggie. The longer the investigation went without any answers, the more everybody blamed Morgan’s friends. (Maggie wasn’t at the concert; her friends have been told not to talk publicly about the events.)”
On January 26th, Maggie was getting ready for class when her phone rang. She picked it up and heard a woman crying hysterically. It was Sarah, one of the group of nine. They had sworn to update each other so no one would be shocked by a news report, and Sarah was calling to say that Morgan’s body had been found. “I tried to get details but she couldn’t talk,” says Maggie

My heart goes out to these young women, who will be burdened with this loss forever.
My mind is not so open, I want to see what they do with it.

Are your kids in N Garden? I have gone through the roster and I know who the FF is.
Noooo, we are miles away but still in Va.
What is this all about?
Palm Print : Needed
I have been called worse.
LOL Lol, You and me both.. ask around.. Or should I say “click” around..
Your on fire tonight woman.

Hey FWIW: They should have been doing something with it by now! I hope that I am wrong and that they are. Well at least, since Halloween. I can ask you know.
It is the only way they will be able to handle the day and it will come, of complete and utter shutdown! No, it does not last forever. It will come and go, ebb and flow, and sneek up on you and steal your breathe away but it will come.
They will need the guidance of professionals and guess what, of their PARENTS!
I truly wish them all well. Like I said so, so long ago in another farky post of mine to OYE.
I NEED them to be positive and productive members of society! Of a sound and healthy minds, who will be able to deal with Morgan’s murder. She did not die in a beautiful hospice setting on her own time.
Her life was stolen from her!
Her girlfriends need to start making sworn statements to be there for each other, yes in life but also in death.
The death of their friend, Morgan.
So they can quit their belly-aching and seek it out.
And not just in the times of RedBull and Vodka.
They have a bigger resource than most of us ever had!

FYI Miss Blink: AS I can talk hair!
Most over-the-counter(not professional) flat irons, curling irons, and yes, hot rollers these days have an auto-off feature, unless someone borrows mine and well, since I have mine from 1982, then I would agree with you. That fire did not start with one left on.
Just my opinion on fire-starting to the fire people who investigate fires!
Maybe it will help in the investigation that started the blaze from Hell!
—-
I just wanted to add to this even for products that do not have a auto-off and have been left on, as a teenager I once left a flat iron on- on my carpet- when I went out for several hours, and besides my mom almost having my head on a platter, all it did was burn a hole in my carpet. I’ve also left it on on a wooden table, and all it did was heat up the surface. I don’t know what the flat iron/curling iron/etc was said to be left on in this case, but I would sure like to know after seeing pictures of that blazing fire.
Thank OP girl and welcome to BOC-

I’ve only read three posts, and i swear, I just want to cry — I want to cry for Colby Eppard, who lost his life the day he had the truck accident as a child — I want to cry for his parents and his family and friends who loved him — I know some people thought he was a punk, but having my own brain injury, although not anywhere as severe as his, I understand how much you want your brain to work right, but it just will not — I want to cry for Albemarle County — how could it have turned into such a place ? It is the home of Merriweather Lewis and Thomas Jefferson — the origins of our country’s expansion west — I always want to cry for Morgan and all of us who love her and never knew her, and her family — I want to cry for these young people after reading just a few myspace pages — I feel so terribly bad for the Bass family — someone trespassed on their property and left Morgan’s body — Lord, what a terrible thing for Mr. Bass to find — when I was searching for my dog, I found a deer skeleton in the powerline easement and I’m still haunted by that huge rib cage —
Blink, long ago you advised; be careful what you ask for.
We asked and asked and asked for information — now you given it, and you were right.
May God have mercy on us all — I just wish VSP would round ‘em all up — put ‘em in a dark room and turn on the light and see who scatters like roaches –
J2K, thank God you’re back — I was getting ready to send out a search party !
Something is rotten in Denmark…..Acho my old BOC compadre I am with you I have also ” had it!”
Yep burned to a f…..g crisp. “B” how can you stand it ? ( Don’t worry I know who you represent)
What are we supposed to be “stupid” along with whatever other name one can be called and may feel like on some melancholy days?
I want to cuss but don’t want to use the Lords name in vain. When I sat at Easter dinner on Good Friday in New Zealand with my dear old 93 year old mum and we said Grace all I could think of was Morgan………Justice for Morgan. Go figure…. And every day I was there I checked in at BOC.
You got me Blink ,you had me at Hello. I was trying to explain to someone today why I am on fire about all of this and committed to BOC. I am just so tired of light weight conversations, sensationalist news reporting, lying politicians, corrupt religious leaders, greedy corporations, look don’t get me started.
What is worth fighting for after all?
My 15 year old daughter and my 94 year old mother for a start.
All mothers, all children all over the world.
I think it was you Fish who answered someones sweet question from a mother and a housewife with limited finances asking how could she help this problem of violence in society.
One of the options that was mentioned and resonated with me was volunteering at pediatric wards where abandoned or sick babies of drug addicts, alcoholics, crackheads end up and there is not the staff to “hold” them.
My husband and I practised attachment parenting with my daughter, I wore her on a sling, breast fed her until she was ready to let go and she slept with us, kind of how African women raise their children.
She is a very secure and happy 15 year old as far as teenagers go.
Besides a long career in music I also taught yoga and did body work for many years. Now I want to hold babies who don’t have mothers to hold them. It feels like some kind of a start.
All of this because I am so upset at the brutal way Morgan was taken out of this world and ripped from her parents arms. It is simply unacceptable to me and i am so worried for my precious daughter and all children really. I will keep you posted in my endeavors. Just am not up to dealing with any extra bureaucracy right now and am not a qualified social worker or therapist after working in music and the healing arts for a life time perhaps holding babies might give them some hope in the present and in some small way begin to protect our grandchildren the future Morgan Harringtons of the world.
Aye aye Mom.30 the layers of this onion go on and on.
I don’t always post Blink and all but have read every post since Morgan’ story began and I am here for the long run…just get a bit caught up in day to day family and work duties but plan to stick around and am here if needed. Peace….Hummingbird xxxx
You said it all. To whom much is given, much is expected.
Peace and Love to you friend.
B
yes J2K I was about to send out a search party as well!!
Thank God you are back, you are needed and loved here a breath of fresh air.
In the same breath Enquirer mate where are you? Observer Iknow you are on vacation.
And Mouse where did you go I worry about you.
The Morris’s, Wayne Townsend Eppard etc all connected, related it gives me the creeps.
Thank heavens Eppards parents got to the cop car before it was squished phew what a mess.
Onwards through the fog but something is cooking the heat is on some people are starting to squirm.
sky!
It’s taken quite some time to catch up with y’all (lesson learned: always pack your laptop charger); but it was well-worth reading through all of the prolific posts of the last few days before drumming up my own quips and queries/hitting “submit.”
Your posts, my dear, are always (A) captivating – and (B), at times, ATWMP-funny! To wit:
(A): “… To do nothing is to let evil win. Evil lost so big time the day it took the life of Morgan, and every other innocent person since time began — but taking Morgan backfired — thought she’d go quietly into the night — they shudda asked Morgan about her parents first — the kind of people she came from — that her parents are not the type who back down in a corner, but stand tall even thru their grief — ”
(B): ” – and in doing so, caught the attention of the most aggravating woman living in NJ that I don’t know who won’t even answer a simple question about a car (Blink, that be you : )…”
*clink*
Well I can only get addresses in the 5000 and up on Brookwood Road in Crozet and well, its a dead end, there’s a foreclosure, and well, there is a familiar realtor, who lists a house on Red Hill Road. It has some undeveloped land. But that all I got.
Oh! It’s close to AF.
There isn’t an address of 149! Quit toyin’ with me. I’m in no mood. If you want I can take a drive tomorrow and shoot some photos and call the realtor. Maybe he knows where his listing is.
btw: I’ll be bringin’ a can of Raid, pepperspray, a stungun (can I say that one? lol) and a very large rent-a-cop! I just need to find one first.
Friend-
I already told you, there is a fire call and response at an unregistered addy in the following hours Morgan went missing. The question is , why is that?
B
W!e!l!c!o!m!e!! B!a!c!k!! J!2!K!!
Hummingbird and Acho:
It is stressful. We are here for you, just look into the light! Like Skyler said…it’s on and they are starting to scatter.
It just takes a great deal of patience and for some unexplained reason I have been renewed. I cannot stop thinking about Mrs. Harrington’s post. That baby! I want to help this woman like no tomorrow.
She is giving so much in the face of her own grief.
I cannot let her down.
I can tell you that we didn’t know what had happened to my loved ones for a very long time. But it is enough that I have a great deal safe and sound in my care. People hide a good many things and yes, they eventually come out. Just believe. Unfortunately, we have some bad eggs in the bunch. I agree 200%, VSP should come out and say something, anything! Even if it is to call me a bonehead, emotional, warmflakytart of a mess BOC poster!
Give the State of Virginia a statement.
So, do not be frustrated, Blink is a work in progress but progress she makes!
Like we all have told each other, when it gets tough for one of us, let someone else carry the load. I’ll carry your load for a spell. And, like I also said so very long ago to Dr. Dan Harrington…
I BELIEVE IN THEM! I BELIEVE IN THEM! That means all of you and that lovely someone who called me a fark!
Just keep learning and posting, we will get there together and never will WE have left Miss Morgan Dana Harrington spiritually hitch hiking! So there!!!
and there!

I’m sure people already know this, but facebook provides the following info: CJ Morris lists Wayne Townsend and Abby Gibson as relatives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May I ask where you found documented info that the aforementioned are related? Is this a ‘fact’?
OMG, I’m missing Melrose Place again!!! And, I’ve only skimmed through some of today’s comments so far…still need to read all of them closely ~ there is so much new information! I’ve got to comment on one of Blinks tidbits of information right now though…re;
“Seems the ONLY firehouse in ACFEMS has a deleted roster, and 6 volunteers leaving since the mandatory background check.”
HOLY CRAP!!!
It’s not the only exodus, but it is the largest. I am not making any implications, but it bothers me they are the only ones without a roster.. Public funds pay.. it is subject to public notice, period.
B
Mark my words…one day…one time- I’m going to get to play the part of the Road Runner.
I’m diving in for the names of the ones that jumped the ACFEMS ship.
Maybe we have a phoney-phone call person.
Wish I knew if it was cell ping? Wait, doesn’t ACFEMS have the 911 records?
And since you say their was a response. Your station house would know of the address before they leave. So where did they respond too? New construction?
It’s 12:57 and I’m trying! I really am! But I am of limited brain power and not ashamed to admit it but I did tell you I am a really good follower!
“I might start with October 18, around 2 am. 149 Brookwood Crozet…
Seems the addy does not exist, except for a fire call.”
Google maps (satellite) shows a house at 149 Brookwood Rd, Crozet.
On another somewhat odd note, I did not know the term “reduced structure fire” and googled it just to get a clear definition. The first two hits were the Hollymead and Seminole Trail Volunteer fire departments–so I’m guessing this is a local term not a national standard.
Offer something other than a “Fish Award”
People aren’t bitin’!
And, yes, I can see that it makes no sense with the surrounding numbers.
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=38.059496,-78.690096&spn=0.001537,0.003449&t=h&z=18
ok, Ive got every name of every homeowner on Brookwood Rd. in Crozet. Hold my hand and where to now.
http://gisweb.albemarle.org/SearchResults.aspx
Nice little neighborhood. There is some development.
I must be really dense tonite but please don’t fire me.
Where’s the posse?
Could it be a wrong address listed and this other address is the house that the party was at earlier in the day of October 17th? There is a Fire/EMS call needed that next morning but the caller didn’t know the house number they were at?

It’s time LE started putting some pressure on in Morgan’s case!
osu, I’m sorry to hear about your niece, thank goodness she was able to get away. This is a scary world we are living in. I hope they are able to find that man and get him off the streets.
gifter3, Thanks for sharing your experience with us, I feel like I was right there with you.

There I had to post. I may have lost it.
http://warhammer.mcc.virginia.edu/fids/search.php?flag=DISPLAY
sorry here’s the site.
I’ll leave it for the morning shift. Sorry folks. I’ll be back. Sick kid up! yikes.
Oh, I’m so far behind in reading posts! I read every single one and almost mouth the words out loud. Slow reader!
”
Just wanted to quickly say to “elf that I am the advocate (per nypd) that you flip up the lip on the mace and apply your thumb to the trigger while grasping the container. Other police departments and security experts don’t agree.
However, I would definitely not advocate that with bug spray. It is an illusion that having bug spray at your desk (in disguise) will be a defense. It goes so much deeper than that. Also, remember that what you spray could be your own demise! You might also consider keeping a cannister at your bedside. Mine is riot size and I keep it upright in the shipping box.
Remember that everything in your environment is a potential aid to your defense .Don’t walk away from your weapons. Choose a weapon as soon as you feel danger. You could pick up olive oil or a Ken-doll and make that into a serious impedent, if you had to. I think the most important thing is knowing that you can and will protect your own life when it comes down to it. Decide to do that now.
Good Morning Blink and blinkers. There is something i always wanted to ask. Not far away from Ancorage about 3 miles away there is à facility called The Ivy Project. the Main HP inUK describe it this Way :They aimes to engage Young People to motivate and Support them in their pers. developpment. The I.P. has supported many vulnerable Young People with mental issues, Care leavers homeless young people living in support housing, young people with criminal records, emotional behavioral problems, drug and alcohol issues. First question: is this the same Facility at Pagebrook Farm? Second question: could it be relevant to this case? Ganz herzliche Grüsse Freunde:)
