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.

How’s this for coincidence – the creator of the Facebook group “RIP Morgan Harrington” is Caleb Martin (not Marden), a high-school student in Charlottesville, so definitely not the same person. But still, how weird is that?! The names are so similar!
Blink, it looks like you’ve unearthed enough information to put everyone’s brains in high gear once again. I’m amazed at the amount of information already brought forward. Geezy! I’m also shocked and saddened at what’s going on in Albemarle County. It looks as though the whole county would be abuzz. You would think someone would be BIG enough to step forward and begin telling what they know.
Dan Harrington’s presentation to Charlottesville’s Take Back the Night rally
Thank you for inviting me to the rally and giving me the opportunity to speak with you. Gil is sorry she cannot be here but she is helping the children of Zambia with a medical mission. She feels that since she could not save her daughter that she can save someone’s child.
I am here to support the TBTN and stress the need for societal change in the respect for woman and men, that society must stop seeing women as prey. I never would have thought that I would have had to deal with the death of my precious daughter, Morgan Dana Harrington. Morgan, a junior at Virginia Tech, was murdered on October 17, 2009 here in Charlottesville by someone who likely sexually assaulted her, then killed her and left her body in a pasture on Anchorage Farm, just south of here. Morgan’s death has catapulted us to places that we would never have thought we would go, being here tonight is now an opportunity that I would not have thought of before, we have been see many times on national media, we have been in the Halls of Congress, we have spent too many hours with LE, we have been to restaurants and rock concerts raising money for Morgan and we have cried as we held our daughter’s skeleton.
Morgan was at JPJ to attend the Metallica concert. For unknown reasons, Morgan left the arena and was not allowed to reenter. That was only one of a series of errors that ultimately led to her disappearance and ultimate death. That day of the concert Morgan and her Mother shared their last time together. Morgan was a modest dresser, she and Gil picked out a loose tee shirt with Pantera printed on the front, a black mini skirt, back leggings and black boots. She was totally covered up except for her beautiful face.
On the days after that tragic night, it was reported by media and by some police that Morgan was dressed provocatively, implying that Morgan tempted someone to assault and kill her. The only thing Morgan did that night was to have her beautiful face showing and she made herself vulnerable. She did not cause her murder, a coward who could control and lord over Morgan caused her death. It is time to stop blaming the victim!
Even over the past week, Gil and I have been assaulted by the Westboro Baptist Church who published a degrading poster implying Morgan deserved to die. This so call church, has launched a post mortem attack on my dead daughter and will be at Virginia Tech tomorrow to protest and advertise that Morgan deserved to die. It is time to stop blaming the victim!
Who would have ever thought Gil and I would have had to deal with the death of our child. Our experience has given us a new appreciation for the preciousness of life. Morgan will never graduate, have a career, marry, have a child and grow old. Morgan’s killer, who had no respect for her, walks among you in Charlottesville each day doing all the things he took away from Morgan.
We are her to work for the day that women and men respect one another, that women can be safe, and can stop feeling afraid. We pray for the day that a young girl does not have to be at risk, is not blamed when they are the victim, and does not become a statistic. We pray for the day when fear is not one of our nation’s operating principles.
We need to support women men who are afraid to ask for help, afraid to press changes, and who are made to feel as if they are the problem. We need to support women and men who are assaulted so they will seek prosecution of the perpetrators. We need to not have organizations sweep these assaults under the rug and pretend it doesn’t happen here.
Gil and I are determined that Morgan’s life be remembered and that her death not be in vain. We appreciate your invitation to help you Take Back the Night.
2 4 1
I continue to be motivated and very humbled by your strength and grace. As I told you personally, I read Gil’s first words from Zambia the other day and it stopped me cold.
I am embarrassed that I held a sick baby all day on Easter and ended up getting sick as a result and was feeling sorry for myself.
I wish this was not your journey. I wish no parent, no person-would lose someone they love in the way you lost your sweet baby.
But as it turned out, the lightness and love you shine on Morgan’s legacy is the path you forge for those that will support you in honor of her. That is a true gift and blessing- I thank you.
When I deliver my rock for Morgan, I want to share with you where it will be coming from.
It will be coming from Angel Field, from the garden created by the vision of my sweetie-girl, Nicole Marie Sherriff, who would have turned 20 years old today, the same age as Morgan.
In her 2 year battle with Ewings Sarcoma, she started a foundation that provides ICEE machines for hospitals serving children battling illness requiring them to undergo treatments that enflame the throat, thus easing their pain somewhat.
She was the most remarkable and determined person at 14, I have ever known.
In the face of her own mortality and suffering, she thought of others first; I see your Morgan that way in her work with OMNI.
I miss her every day. I am proud of her every day.
Angel Field is the realization of Nicole’s wish that terminally ill children should be able to enjoy time with their families regardless of their financial ability to do so. The center allows for families to do just that, without any costs to them.
With Angel 34′s blessing, Morgan’s rock will be created by the children that stay there this Summer.
In continued support,

I don’t see anywhere that it says that address is in Crozet. Here is google maps of that address in Charlottesville.
http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en&q=149+BROOKWOOD+DRIVE,+CHARLOTTESVILLE&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=149+Brookwood+Dr,+Charlottesville,+VA+22902&gl=us&ei=a6jFS8XsKZSg8ATt6cmaDg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CAcQ8gEwAA
and if you search that address specifically on the ACFD website, it shows 8 units getting that call at that time. There is nothing there but a field from that picture, but it does say the call was a reduced structure fire.
Just wondering where you got Crozet from that listing.
That is the only Brockwood in Albemarle Cty, that was my point. The record is incorrect- what was on fire in the wee hours after a girl went missing whom ends up murdered, in an area that was the initial search area by LE?
B
O/T:
Hey OPGirl and Fish, in responding to all the flat iron/curling iron stuff, let me assure you these gals are of the air-dry sort. I don’t think that’s a snark; I think they will take pride in your knowing they disdain vanity. These girls appear to want to be Earth Mamas … not that one can’t tame the frizz and also cherish the earth (who better to teach us that than Miss Morgan?).
______________________
The not-catty side of me wants to say, Hummingbird, you are such a beautiful person; I don’t have to look at you to say it. Wow. I love your baby-holding idea. We all are making little chinks in this age-old rock … all in our own ways.
______________________
Finally, Gifter3, I am late in the saying it (way too chafed yesterday to focus on all the beauty; shame on me), but your words about your VA trip totally took me home. What a bittersweet visit it was. Thank you for sharing; I was marching in step with you, to every single spot, in your writing. I cannot wait to get there and return a rock from our garden to C’ville, for Morgan.

There was a building permit issued for this address in Charlottesville on Sept. 26, 2008.
You mean lots #42-#47? This was 149. Unless I missed it?
B
Sorry, this whole Albemarle/Charlottesville thing confuses me with their separation of services. They DO help eachother out sometimes. I guess it just confused me because that specific address exists in the city, but not in the county, and wondered if there was some type of assistance given. I guess I’ll look at the Charlottesville fire logs for that night too.
I have to say I’m frustrated with the misinformation put out, the wrong boot info given at the search, the lack of any interest in things found on the search, and the lack of any comments/info from LE.
At least here, I feel, although I don’t comment much, that I can offer a bit of local info, even if I’m confused about it.
We are glad to have it, and I share your frustration.
B
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
Maybe someone great at sleuthing can figure out what FD members were on duty at 2:00 a.m. on the 18th of October? And, what fire department responds to a Crozet fire. I don’t think it would be NG.
The codes should be in the apparatus’s that responded, but I believe this is Crozet VFD.

Here is the link to the map for 149 Brookwood Dr. Charlottesville, VA.

It is in the City of Charlottesville, not Crozet.
I just want to say this morning – thank God Nadia was found alive and OK! A story with a happy ending for a change – praise Jesus
Also, sounds like major movement going on in both the Haleigh Cummings case and the Britannee Drexel case. Come on, LE, sweep all these low-lifes up, put them away, and throw away the key. Next on the agenda, Morgan’s killer(s). Time is running out. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Evil has had it’s run with all these sad, sad cases. Now, it’s time for Good to prevail and all these lame excuses for human beings be rounded up and put away. It will never take away the hole in the hearts of these victims loved ones that these monsters have inflicted upon them, but at least it will bring closure and justice to them and they are not free to hurt anyone else.
So, are you thinking that Morgan was taken to that house and murdered there and then it was set on fire to destroy all the evidence? Is it odd that the fire was reported? Is the house in a very secluded area? I’m sorry I’m just dense this morning – I haven’t had my coffee yet. But I have a feeling you are on to something that may become a big something. Or I’m totally off base.
Does anyone know who Allan is, and what happened to him?
“Heather Roach: i know… it’s just like what happened with Allan”\
from earliest comments on RIP Colby Wade Eppard (Jan 1st or 2nd)
http://www.facebook.com/search/?flt=1&q=cj+morris&o=2048&sid=100000825134019.1225389177..1&s=30#!/group.php?v=wall&ref=search&gid=233363445046
I do.
That is referring to Alan Cochran, the 16 year old I referred to in the piece. He was killed by Robert Hamm, who was indicted for involuntary manslaughter and then the charges were dropped.
There was an unamed Cons. and Wildlife Officer involved with the Eppard incident, but he was never named.
B
This is confusing. There is an address of 149 Brookwood Drive in Charlottesville. The google map shows it to be a vacant lot. Maybe there has been construction there since the photo was taken. There is no Brookwood Drive in Crozet.
Are you saying that the New Garden FD responded to a call in Crozet and listed the address as 149 Brookwood Drive in the community of Crozet? I don’t think the New Garden FD would respond within the city limits of Charlottesville, and Crozet would seem to be a long way for the New Garden FD to respond also.
Blink…I went over to look for 149 Brookwood and it’s as fish says…the addresses are in the 5000s. I wanted to see if 149 was on the old part of Brookwood, or the new part that goes into the new development across Park Road. If the numbers were updated it wasn’t recently, because some of them are peeling off of mailboxes, which may have caused the confusion. This is a neighborhood of old and new…some little ranch-style houses with neat yards, a trailer here and there, then a few houses that have junk all in the yard. Across Park Rd. is a shiny new development of little houses and townhouses. This is a small neighborhood of dead ends beyond Crozet Park…only way in and out is to go by the park and back to Crozet Avenue. BTW, this would have been a Crozet FD call…as the crow flies it’s only 1/2 mile away, but by road maybe 1.5 miles.
Yes, thank you local, we went through every property record, so we know who lives there, specifically the 5000 section. Familiar names of course, but we know the fire was not there. It may very well be nothing nefarious, and just an incorrect record, but needs to be run down, imo.
B
Take your pad with you next time, lol.. Plate numbers!!
B
Could it be that the 149 address call has something to do with a certain band needing a new place to practice?
from searcher’s links, there is a 149 brockwood in charlottesville near piedmont CC. It looks like land that was divided for housing construction but (at least as of googles’ picture) had not been built on yet.
Is it worth mentioning that a lot of the county volunteer FFs drive their own vehicles and throw a red light on the dash or rooftop when racing to the scene? I’m sure this is common everywhere, but we frequently see regular trucks and SUVs flying by when there’s a call.
Dr. Harrington and Blink…I love you guys!
You all are an inspiration to me…I thank you for making me realize how truly blessed I am…
If you all need me, for anything, I’ll be there….
God bless you,
joe
Is Dakota still reading here? Dakota, are you there? Some of the girlfriends and at least one wife of the North Garden/Schuyler crowd is from Waynesboro. I’m wondering if some of the guys are too, and they’ve all just ended up living in southern Albemarle.

Never been too much into death metal, but that’s a pretty wicked bass line. Very talented bunch of guys.

From the Cosmo article:
“Almost everything was in it (the purse), including her cell phone, and other items were scattered nearby.”
“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?”
———-
Other items scattered nearby? This, to me, just SCREAMS a blitz-style attack from someone totally unknown to Morgan, complete with a brief struggle in the lot perhaps? I also do not believe she was hitchhiking. Sounds more to me someone was/is purposefully giving misleading information to police.

__________________________________
Quickly need to clarify for everyone: The Brookwood Rd addy to which Blink refers is in Crozet, NOT Charlottesville.
There is a new development in city of Charlottesville called The Brookwood, and that was where those building permits were for. Confusing, I know.
That new development is nowhere near Crozet and not in Crozet FD territory.
LocalCvilleGirl appears to be referring to the correct road in her 9:26 a.m. post, in Crozet and near the park.
Just want that clear before we spend time looking at the wrong places.
Thanks!
there is not a brookridge drive in crozet. there is a brookridge road there. there is a brookridge drive near piedmont cc — I assume within the c’ville city limits which has a lot with the 149 brookridge drive address
BROOKWOOD.. no, it is in Crozet, near the park.

So many great posts, where do I start? There are too many to mention all by name. Thanks to Blink and all the locals that are bringing all this info to light. There are some great researchers here on BOC, even some who aren’t locals, but are far away. I wish I was so gifted. I can’t add much other than support for Morgan and her dear family. My loyalty lies with Morgan, her family, Blink’s team and the posters on her sight. The dedication is amazing. A lot of the beautiful people here are victims or survivors of victims of violent crime and great loss. They teach us a lot in how to be strong and go on, even knowing it’s not an easy path. I have a friend, who was very depressed. She has had a lot of loss and sadness in her life. About four weeks ago, she talked to me of how desperate she felt and how things kept going the wrong direction in her life. My advice to her was to never feel alone. There are lots and lots of people suffering similarly. I told her to start reading BOC every day. I talked to her in depth yesterday and she actually is wearing a sweet smile now. She was amazed by the posters here who have shared their stories of learning to live what life’s dealt. It is so encouraging to me, to read here and see the love of wonderful caring people. I needed to say this, because I’m so glad that I found Blink and this group. Not only our #1 goal of justice for Morgan, but a place to share. Blink, I can’t say enough! I guess this is the long way of saying Thank you to everyone here and a big thanks to Blink for her site. Thanks friend Blink for this place we can come to and for your hard, never ending work and efforts for the victims. I know you will never give up, until the course is finished. Neither will we. Everyone, keep up the great work! Dig, dig, dig until the answers come.
Beautiful, beautiful post Gifter! Thank you for sharing your Cville trip and every aspect of it. What a colorful and expressive journey, right down to the TBTN rally and Dr. Harrington’s presence there and your time of supporting Morgan and her family. You’re a very caring, loving person and truly live up to your name. What a blessing to be able to visualize being there, even though we couldn’t ‘be there’. Thank you!
It’s always good to hear from Hummingbird, who’s love for humanity is a lesson in itself. Thank you for sharing with us. Loni and EinSA thank you for being a part of our group and it’s always wonderful to read your posts from faraway. Skyler, thanks for the info about the demolition that was about to take place on the stolen getaway cruiser driven by Colby Eppard, where that eighteen year old met his violent death. Thank God his family found out in time. The more I read about that boy’s life, the more sadness I feel for him. I will always have questions about why it ended as violently as it did. IMO there is much mystery surrounding what happened.
J2K, it’s good to see you again and you have been missed. Thank you for sharing that article about Eppard’s aunt whose care he was placed in. How sad for him and her own children. I am speechless.
Judi, it’s always good to hear from you. Your earnestness in finding every detail is amazing. Keep on digging dear friend of Morgan. You do so well with bringing out questions to ponder on. Thank you.
Also, welcome to any new posters. You’re needed here. All thoughts and ideas are read and appreciated. Most of all your support of Morgan, finding her killer and seeing that justice comes about in the fullest.
This is another long post, I know. I also know I missed mention of so many who work hard every day on this cause. Suz, Mary, SusanM, Acho, MSL, Cosmo, Fish, Duhannah, Mom3, Eloise, Local, Chad, MinniePenney, Ragdoll, Moon, Kev, Mr. Speaker and the list goes on. Please, don’t be offended if I missed you because every poster is so important. I read every post. I appreciate all of you so much for all that you do in our pursuit of Justice For Morgan. J4M
Dan and Gil always amaze me with their love and concern for others. God bless Gil in her trek to Africa to try to save the children and deliver help and support to those who may have never had it. I can just imagine how much her love means to children who have never had the oppurtunity to feel that before. Blessings to Dan as he continues his missions here to find justice for his beautiful daughter’s murder and to make it a safer place for others. Thank you Dan for teaching safety in Morgan’s name and memory and your selfless care and concern during your own unfathomable sadness and loss. What wonderful gifts of love, Dan and Gil. Much thanks and many prayers for Dan, Gil and dear Alex.

I am schocked for the report about Media and police saying Morgan was dressed provocatly? It is à shame no One have to die because of the clothes. Morgan was à Beautiful woman. Would She have wore some Jeans it wouldn’t have changed anything! Its a shame that parents who have just lost their child have to be confronted with such an Idiotie.
Sorry, I meant brookwood. The point is still the same — it is brookwood road that is in crozet and brookwood drive is in c’ville. The fire was at 149 brookwood drive. Engines 1, 2 and 7 (the three that responded to this fire) are Charlottesville Fire Department Engines and are based a few minutes away from the address. This was a charlottesville fire at the address seeker posted, not crozet. The Albemarle County search lists both albemarle county and charlottesville fire department calls. The charlottesville address is the correct one, not crozet.

sorry for the multiple posts
the crozet engines are E-54, E-56, E-58 — not the ones that responded to this fire (all of which were Charlottesville engines)

B: Back on duty! But I gotta tell you, last night I had dilusions of gradeur thinking I was you.
Oh! how I want to be called an Investigative Analyst!!
Forget “warmflakytart”, forget “lobes” and forget help me, “fish”!
I wanna be smart like you!
So sorry for over posting but I feel so strongly about this case. I live, breathe, sleep it. The words of Dr. Harrington makes me feel that we are all were we need to be and that we all matter. I’m ok with my participation. BTW, many names come up with records of some sorts, civil, criminal, traffic. I am looking for the domestic violence. He has one, I just know it.
Brookwood or Brockwood? Just double checking. I think that someone is in a code violation, here. He already jumped ship. Also, could it have been a call for help? I’m not thinking it was but I can’t find this. There is a 149 Brookwood in Cville but this is not the station to respond. Were the girls and Dan at a house in Crozet on this street? There could be a connection to one. I’ll call the relator and find out if it is foreclosed already.
O/T: Also, I would personally volunteer to take in Mr. CheeseyJumpsuit into the office for his palm print. Seems the register needs one. We can talk about stopped up drains, what type of beewax ring is best, and where he was on the night of October 17. It will be a fast ride and I’ll even let Momma, Dada, and any cousin of his hop in! I have a big SUV, so lots of room.
Just please do not let the requirments slip through the cracks again. He should be accounted for!!!
Hell, I’ll even ink it up!
Back to the fire call. You have said so many times, that you believe what happened to Morgan was facilitated by someone(thing) with some LE experience or knowledge. But you also said he could be upping his game. What do you think he does with his weekends? And do you think that he was a volunteer ff at one time? Or just a wanna be?
hahaha b I’ll go later to get a peeetcher with my phone.
You are right, there is a Brookwood in Crozet. Google ‘Brookwood Crozet’ to get a map of it. The houses seem to be street-numbered in the 5000 range, though.
After reading Dr Harringtons post above, I must vent.
It absolutely enrages me beyond belief these people who try and place blame on the victim. It needs to stop! The only person or persons to blame are the people who took Morgan, tortured her and killed her. Morgan was dressed just fine. But, I don’t care if she was stark naked running down the street, that never has and never will give someone the right to take them against her will, do to them whatever the hell they want against her will, kill her and leave her in a remote field somewhere. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE KILLER, NOT THE VICTIM!!! For the love, what is the matter with these people!
Dr and Gil Harrington, I support you 1000% as does everyone else here at BOC. Morgan’s army is much bigger and stronger than any of those whack job protesters. I know it is hard because these losers like to be right in your face with their crap, but try to ignore them because they are know not of what they speak and intelligent people, unlike them, know bettter. Anyone with half a brain cell would hold the victim as just that, the victim, and place blame where it belongs, which is on the killer(s). How can these so called church people call them self this when they are trying to move the blame off of the evilness that did this and onto a sweet, beautiful girl who loved, who gave, was generous and never harmed anyone? Baffling, to say the least!
I know this is a fairly big jump, but the first thing I thought of when you talked about the fire at the address in Crozet at 2 am is that it could have been people burning evidence.
Could the address be some sort of parcel of land and not an actual house?
BLINK – I have a post still waiting moderation from yesterday…

Re: Morgan, I believe that when this case is solved, which I have renewed faith after Blink’s latest article, that it is about to blown wide open, that we will find the Morgan was not the first victim and, unless stopped asap, will not be the last. But, hopefully, Morgan and her family will be the ones who bring it all to an end and delivers justice to it all.
sorry, I had a server glitch briefly, I thought I got them all-

Just read Dan & Blink’s posts. In tears. God Bless you and your sweet girls.
Loni, Loni, Loni:
Do not fret dear, on what they are saying about Morgan’s dress. I’m going to pride myself when I come to The University of Virginia and stand on that Copeley Road Bridge, in exactly what Morgan wore!
I have the balls to do it and will post the photos! I am waiting for the Pantera shirt to arrive. See it is not what we have on!
***A predator will take whomever, whenever, where ever!
It is THOSE PEOPLE with small minds and even smaller weenesses that make the bullcrap comments about how women dress and that we somehow ask to get ourselves DEAD!
As you can see I am sick of this annoying chatter and plan to always speak loud and proud for us women!
I have posted to this and said that was all I was going to say on the dress matter many posts ago but it is obvious that it concerns the Harrington Family, that their daughter is spoken about in that way.
I have a voice for them here in my home, at my work, in my social circles, and my community.
Well in fact, Morgan has a voice that will never be silenced. I’d like to think she passed hers to me and I’m passing mine to my own and so on and so on.
So go ahead to all those that make the comment, I will counteract them everytime. My word against theirs. So there on that!
BTW: My deceased, lovely, talented, beautiful, soulful sister had an accent aigu upbove her name too! I never knew how to do it on a computer.
Thanks for providing me with a memory of hers!

Anybody up for a family history check? In googling for the infamous “Fish Award” that B put before us, I found lots of family history on the extremely large S. family of the area. Lots & lots to go thru, or maybe it has already been posted way back and I forgot about it: http://www.klein-shiflett.com/Obit_Section/Obituary_G_H.htm
Fish i like the way you are. I like People who engage themselves for others. This is why i am writing here with you people. Thanks Blink and blinkers.
OK, just checking in briefly, but here is the 149 Brookwood ROAD in Crozet, in case no one has found it yet.
http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en&q=149+BROOKWOOD+DRIVE,+CHARLOTTESVILLE&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=149+Brookwood+Dr,+Charlottesville,+VA+22902&gl=us&ei=a6jFS8XsKZSg8ATt6cmaDg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CAcQ8gEwAA
I’m at work and can’t research it, but looking forward to catching up with you all this evening if possible.
Fish i want to see that Foto:))
Interesting from moderator on FM to members:
“please refrain from mentioning names and/or initials of people that you think may be linked to this case…..If not we will have to close the thread. We have tried editing the ones that listed names or initials but they still come up from time to time. LE asked me and also Dan to please refrain from that.”
Wonder if they are afraid everyone is closing in on the truth?
Justice:
The missing pieces to completely relate that family all over the US haven’t been found yet, but I’d say they are mostly all related from a single source.
I contributed one of the webpages on one of the other surnames “peripherally related” to the main name. For a while I helped the original site owner with some of the local research. She was a stickler about no living people, though. The obituaries do help make the connections. It is a daunting task to try to add the living relatives.
Dr. Harrington,
I am so glad you posted your remarks from the Take Back the Night!
There was no way that I could have described it!
Blink, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend Nicole. She sounds like such an incredible person at a very young age. Another priceless angel! I’m sure she and Morgan are friends now!
Beautiful idea with your rock from the “angel field”.
Acho, Josie, Ragdoll and Luvblink,Thank you so much for your kind words.
I wish that all of you could make that trip, but I realize that many of you are even farther away than I am.
Bittersweet… for you to get to return with your rock, Acho.
Osu, I am so grateful that your niece got away! What a miracle!!
So very, very frightening!
And to Lizzy….so sorry about your family crisis. I too, am SO TIRED of these “slimy perps”roaming around! Hope everything is better!
Fish,You are crackin me up!! One minute tears are running down my face, and the next, I’m LMAO! Keep at it girl! I love your spunk!
Mom3, I liked your “onion analogy”. It appears we have a garden full of them to peel now! It’s beginning to freak me out!
Judi-thanks for the Fire Incident links…so we’re sayin 8 units dispatched to that address on Oct 18th at 2:10 a.m.???
Welcome Back to J2K-where ya been girl?
Local-thanks for scouting out that address. Hope you’ve got your mace with you!
Sky, how’s the new pup? I think it’s about time for another
story about your boy :0) Any new lessons I can pass down to my 15 yo?
Joe Guthrie-nice comment. I too am GRATEFUL!!!
But… I’m stunned, and really bent out of shape when I read things like Acho’s detective work!
From Acho “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?”

It’s not in crozet, it’s in c’ville. I have posted a link that shows the engines that responded are c’ville fire department engines not the crozet ones (and the road is in c’ville not crozet) but it is in moderation still. It does seem to be a parcel, not a house (though the google images may be out of date). I am sure one of our true locals could drive past and check it out. Hope that helps.
yes, you did, and your correct, still needs to be checked out, imo. Thanks Redly.
I am a little behind in mod today, but working hard behind the counter here!

Holy Toledo, Justice!
I’m a quarter down the page and I already see three connections. It’s just that when it comes to Virginia, it truly is a small world. I had no idear!!!
And about the Fish Award, well I’m thinkin’ it is something that will look good on my mantel. So watch out! I’ve got my new desktop, commandeered the hubby’s laptop and I even now know how to post with my crackberry! I’m my own mini BOC within the big BOC!

B…this is a comment from Eloise, and your response. Does your Yes Yes mean that there WAS some connection between Morgan and either old or new members of this band? Do you know who all of the members are, and where they’re from? How Morgan might have known them?
Eloise says:
You crack me up! I bet it is a relief to get this off your chest so more directed discussion can unfold.
I am trying not to be negative towards others, especially ones I don’t know. But dear Lord, what would cause anyone to name a Band The Walrus Bonecock Conspiracy?? Never mind the songs. I sure hope Miss Morgan didn’t know them. Pls someone tell me that is not so.
Blink says:
YES YES.. Cause there is more, come on Blinkterns.. CHURN!
B
That was to get it off my chest part..
B
This is probably coincidence but maybe a clue? MW’s wife lists on her youtube account that her hobbies are:
Hobbies:My amazing husband, hula hooping, festivals, art, fashion & the green stuff.
Am I wrong or wasn’t it discussed that Morgan was into hula hooping? Isn’t this a big part of CB’s shows? Could it be that Morgan knew this girl from a similar interest at some of the festivals and thus met MW and EMH through her?
I dont know if she met them, but they were all at Boonaroo and Allgood.
In fact, she got married there.. (Allgood)
B
Javier, the police have always maintained that the purse showed no signs of a struggle. Did her stuff spill out when she dropped it?
Does make you wonder how the police came to that conclusion, though, since someone else found it.
I am in awe of the Harrington family and their ability to push on and remain in the public spotlight. It is hard to get out of bed when you are heartbroken and grieving, yet they do. J4Morgan ~ 241
Blink – What a special rock for Morgan rocks collection. An angel rock from one angel to another.
@Fish
OT… for accent or special characters…
Open Character Map by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, clicking System Tools, and then clicking Character Map and copy/paste…ie… ü
The War on Women….it goes WAY back….It was all Eve’s fault that she and Adam got evicted from the Garden (not North Garden) …..No it wasn’t !!! I don’t care if a girl is in pasties with rainbow tassels and glow in the dark G-string it does not give some asshole the right to rape and murder her !!! ok…. time to reheat my coffee in the microwave….and Good Morning to ya’ll the members of Morgan’s Cavalry and War Party. Perp and/or Perps your Last Stand is coming…the Lakota started in Virginia and moved west…but a bunch of us stayed here. Hoka hey…it is a good day to die and it will be a really good day when you go down… way down where it is real hot.
WOW. So much info…All of you are truly amazing folks…You all have such good analytical brains…me, not so much, I “analyze” with my feelings and what I perceive. I envy the ones that can break it down!!
I capitalized my name, just FYI…but now I am upset that my name could be associated with the Moon cycles and violence.
I have tried to look at the roster for the NGVFD, but I cannot find a list. B said it was deleted, but someone mentioned that they knew who the FF was that left for NJ. Would someone kindly tell me how they found that so I can look it up too? I can’t stand being out of the loop!
VERY IMPORTANT:
PLEASE be sure in your posts, if you refer to something said by someone, that you quote it..
For example, I did not say NGVFD roster was deleted, I said CROZET did not have one.
Not picking on you Moon, but what happens is, other sites copy posts elsewhere and attributes them to me and they are inaccurate, this is the only way we can track it.
