UVA Lacrosse Teammate Arrested For Murder of UVA Woman
Charlottesville, VA– Following a 2:15 am 911 call regarding a possible alcohol overdose, Charlottesville Police have arrested a UVA lacrosse player, formerly of The Landon School Team where1 of the falsely accused Duke Lacrosse team played in High School and 4 others were on the Duke roster.
George Huguely, from Chevy Chase, MD, has been arrested and charged with the first degree murder of fellow Lacrosse Player and UVA senior Yeardley Reynolds Love.
A source speaking on the condition of anonymity, has confirmed to blinkoncrime.com that Huguely is a member of the UVA Fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon.
Love, a 22 year old Senior at UVA, was found by EMT and Charlottesville Police upon responding to a 911 call at the apartment she shared with team and room mate Kaitlinn Duff. It is not yet known if the call was made from the apartment or another location.
The apartment they shared at 14th NW is one block from where the Pantera shirt, confirmed to be that of murder victim Morgan Harrington, was found in November 2009.
Police have not yet released a cause of death for Ms. Love, but say her body showed signs of physical trauma.
Huguely has been committed to the Albemarle County Jail without bond pending his arraignment.

…and to Texas Grandfather, I hope my boy grows up to be someone just like you! You are the perfect teacher to run a classic, timeless, old fashioned charm school. I’d be your first student!!! xo
OK, I just woke up, but the first thing I hear on the news is about the bloody t-shirt. I have been trying to maintain some distance relating Morgan & Yeardley’s crime.( even though Blink merged the columns).
But,,,,, doesn’t it make anyone think ‘someone is a shirt taker!” IE: trophy taker? B/c why would you bring something so risky to your home? I think there’s something yet to be seen. Maybe we ought to go county by county & see what surfaces.LOL!
Is anyone else seeing a possible gradual similiarity??
Take that back Blink, I guess you didn’t. You have a new one, WE merged…LOL!
I have always had the utmost respect for the VSP, but I can’t understand why they have been so quick to discount certain incidents as not being relative to Morgan’s case. Maybe they do have a suspect after all. Have the Harrington’s employed a private detective?

You are my soul ‘mind’!!!! I’ve been saying this to friends and family. This generation is completely clueless of manners, courtesy and respect. When I meet someone, say at the grocery store, who demonstrates these rare qualities, I compliment them to the fullest. I am saddened that parenting is now ‘friendshipping’…if that’s even a word. Remember ‘the look’ your momma used to give you when you were out of line? Or pulling the car over meant ‘uh oh’?
Now THOSE were the good ol’ days. I wonder how different ‘these days’ would be if we got to know our children’s parents, enforced curfews, and became a village to raise our children? People don’t now who their neighbours are anymore. You don’t see block parties like I did in my day as a child. Kids playing on the street, laughing, involved in unstructured play. My parents and the neighbourhood I grew up in was safe because ALL parents were involved. They were outside reading, watering the lawn, weeding…whatever. You just knew the whole block and it was comforting as a child.
When I think of my son, I am frightened of the world that awaits him. My husband and I do everything in our power to parent consistently….go to church, maintain traditions, enforce manners, etc. However, he’s seen as ‘weird’ at school. Thank GOD he has the self confidence to stand up for himself.
It starts at home. Rich or poor, our children need to understand the value of hard work, hard play and the value of a dollar. They need to understand the power of words, thoughts and actions AND WE NEED to help them develop the self respect and confidence it takes to be productive and compassionate members of society.
I want to maintain hope but I am grasping. xo

And the deflecting beings…..
Oh wait….they were already absolved of any involvement in Morgan’s death by:
- Her putting 1 toe onto the public road (whatever, still in UVA land in my opinion)
- By erasing, withholding, video camera’s on JPJA
- Information about LAX player finding her purse
- Identifying the Basketball players
- Identifying the 4 BIB (Blink previously mentioned they had been identified)
- Norma Parson’s claim of seeing Morgan on the Lawn.
I stated once and am going to state it again. If you are going to commit a crime, make sure you are on UVA property, or better yet, enroll.
I am so angry for the Harringtons. They and Morgan deserve so much better than this. I hope Yeardley’s family get the justice they too deserve.
I was in a sorority at UVA, and one year I was Social Chair for the sorority. It was a requirement of the University that the President and Social Chair of every greek organization on Grounds attend an alcohol and sexual assault workshop put on by the University. I actaully had to come back early from Christmas break for it, and it was either a one or two day event (I can’t remember exactly which). It was held in January because 2nd semester is when most greek organizations change officers – so they were getting to us even before we were officially in office, and before the rest of the student body came back.
It was all about self-policing, and how to recognize if someone had had too much to drink, how to deal with someone strongly under the influence, signs of drinking and drug problems, and the resources available for all of the above. On the sexual assault side, they talked about the definition of rape, no means no, what to do in the event of a sexual assault (and I do remember “Contact the police!” was at the top of that list), and resources available. There may have been some other topics covered that I am not recalling right now. They stressed with us numerous times that even though they were around, the police could not be everywhere at once, and we needed to police ourselves as well. Personal responsibility. We were also required to have workshops on these subjects with our houses.
Local police, the Dean of Students Office, local ABC, and representatives from groups such as the Sexual Assault Resource Agency were all in attendance. After the workshop, we had required monthly meetings with members of these same groups in attendance (local police, specifically were ALWAYS there). I’m sure the intent was not just to distribute information, but also to foster communication and build relationships.
I have no idea if things are still done this way. I would bet they are, though – from what I understand the University had gotten even tougher on alcohol, etc. policy. Similar programs are available to the University population as a whole, but I am writing about what is done with the greek system because that is the area with which I am most familiar. I worte this out because I have seen some questions regarding how the University handles issues such as these, and I thought I could provide some insight.
The University does a lot, but obviously problems still occur. People have to take responsibility for themselves and others, and we have to educate our children from an early age about what is appropriate bahavior. We also have to know how and take steps to protect ourselves, because not everyone else comes from a responsible background. Beyond that, I don’t know what the answer is, either for the University or the individual.

Today’s Washington Examiner has an article re Mr. Hugueley’s troubles in Florida. The young man obviously had issues that were continually swept under the carpet. I would imagine although many try to portray him as a sweet, fun prankster that his family, friends, teammates and coaches had all seen/knew of the dark side. What a tragedy for so many. Ms. Love by all accounts seems to have been a little ray of sunshine to all and had such a bright future ahead of her. God bless.
Brittanee Drexel, Morgan Harrington, Yeardley Love, Natalie Haloway, all missing and/or meeting violent deaths. ALL beautiful inside and out, bright futures that will never be, dreams that will never be. Venus Stewart, Susan Powell, Stacy Peterson, Laci Peterson, all victims of domestic violence. Children like Caylee Anthony, Haleigh Cummings, Somer Thompson, Baby Gabriel. Ugh! The violence has got to stop!!!!
More information continues to come out about Huguely’s temper and past problems…
“The Washington Examiner reported Thursday that Huguely, 22, had to be rescued in the Atlantic Ocean in Palm Beach County, Fla., after an argument with his father on a fishing boat in December 2008. Huguely wanted to return to shore and attempted to swim the quarter-mile back.”

Here is a sign of hope. Women all over this country are getting fed up with the violence of men against women and are stepping up to protect each other. These women are heros and angels. May we all be blessed with such angels should we ever need them.

According to the Daily Progress, a shirt belonging to Miss Yeardley Love was found at GH’s apartment with a red stain. I think he knew she was dead after the assault.

Hey, Blink, I forgot to tell you I just got home from NJ Sunday night. My son is in colorguard and competes in the TOB in Wildwood. When I was a kid, we went to Wildwood every year. As an adult, we now go again, every year, for the TOB. I love, love, love Sea Shell Ice Cream, though they are never open for the season yet when the TOB’s are held. I also love going to Cape May and going up the lighthouse. We had perfect weather while there this year.
Very good read…nice pic at the very end.
Snip…”In the wake of this week’s terrible tragedy at UVA, many people will wonder how this could happen, and they’ll blame lacrosse’s reckless culture. Or, they’ll defend lacrosse, and call George Huguely a monster, or an aberration. The truth, says SB Nation’s Andrew Sharp, is somewhere in between.”

Sorry for the confusion. I tested this method and it works (for me anyways).
O/T, just had to rant for a moment about how much I hate the role alcohol plays in so many of these tragedies…
I’m a pretty liberal girl, in general, when it comes to politics and respecting others’ autonomy, and loving everybody regardless of where they come from and what religion they choose, etc., but I just wanted to comment that I never drank a drop of alcohol until I was 21. I personally think it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I didn’t judge the other kids for choosing TO drink, but I witnessed some really stupid choices by some really drunk kids in college. It is a MIRACLE that even more really bad things don’t happen. And, honestly, due to my “lateness” of drinking (which isn’t really supposed to be late but in reality is), I’ve never really had a strong interest or built up much of a tolerance to it. There are many studies of how much more readily addicted the teenage brain is to alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. I think parents need to crack down WAY before college. I enjoy a glass of wine, I love to have the occasional margaritas – and yes, I have occasionally had a bit too much – but I think the attention on alcohol and it’s severe dangers has dropped off in the past decade.
There is nothing healthy about getting drunk at any age, but it’s a big joke to most high school and college-age students – and unfortunately many of their parents. I plan to teach my children that alcohol, when ingested by children, is poison for their brains, and that they can and will become a different personality when under its influence. I know I can’t control all their choices…but I made the decision so I hope I can convince them to do it, too.

I am not defending the actions that gh is being accused of, i am a bit upset over the grouping of “rich kids” that go to private school issue. I had many friends who went to private bording schools, some because of the opportunity of a better education, and some out of family tradition. Many were there on scholarships, and many weren’t
If you choose to do a search you will find many of our present and past leaders in government, private business, and numerous other fields have attended such schools! JFK– Choate Ted Turner- McCallie school. Again, let me assure the posters here that I am not on anyone but Miss Love, and her loved ones side to assure that justice is served.
I do not want to get into the separation of classes debate, but I will tell you this, I have first hand knowledge of a cover up involving a student at St. Anne’s that I will be writing about, and there is no doubt in my mind preference was given.

According to the link source (below) Huguely also took down Yeardley in an alcohol induced rage. I hate to say this, but it was only a matter of time.

Sorry….my bad. It wasn’t Yeardley, it was the offered taken down, having to use her taser to disable him.
I apologize for the misrepresentation.
GEEEZ! ‘offered’ should be ‘officer’.

“A family name of someone with possibly very close ties to GH owned an undeveloped tract of land less than 3/4 of a mile from where Morgan’s body was found. I so far have only connected this person by last name, but it is not a very common name in Albemarle County. I really can not publish anything more without taking the risk of hurting someone’s family name.”
I am. That is premature, imo.

…to second what people are saying about money and privilege…
I know that all privileged white kids who attend private prep schools are not psychopaths in the making. I also know that LaX isnt offered as a sport in the inner city public schools. I happen to love watching LaX when it is on ESPN. I live in CA and can tell you, there are a handful of high schools here that offer LaX. They are all private, usually Catholic, prepatory schools…why? I have no idea, it isnt like it is Polo or something?!
That being said, it is naive to try and make us think that along with wealth, especially old money, and as you said, family tradition, doesnt come a belief of some level of entitlement, even if it is in their own mind, and furthermore, the names you mention do not help your stance IMO. The Kennedy’s may be the poster children for privileged, entitled, and pretentious. And i am/was a fan of most of them, but let’s call a spade a spade…

If that is him, it indicated marine violation. FL requires everyone over 21, have an education card from FL to operate a boat. Seeing how this was closed witha ? $ 20 fine, maybe that is what he was lacking.
destingirl, i don’t want to get into a huge debate about private schools and socioeconomic status… most people are aware that labels can’t be applied to all members of any one group. the discussion is more about the culture that is created by the collision of several factors (D1 sports, lacrosse, private schools, wealth, entitlement, personal and familial issues, etc.) which, when combined, generate an increased risk for certain behaviors and outlooks. MsLAL provided a link to a great article written by a private school and lacrosse “insider” who acknowledges the bad parts of the culture. I recommend that you read that article to get a better idea of why people are saying what they are.
and while i certainly believe that many successful and kind men and women came out of private schools, i don’t think that you can directly link the private schools with their success or kindness. have you ever heard the word “nepotism”?
Blink, do you believe that reporting on this case and discussing it in the context that it “could” be related to Morgan’s murder is responsible? I read the Hook article, and some references here, and it would appear that forcing a link could be truly harmful to Morgan’s case, especially at this point in the investigation. Has it come to this point out of frustration, or wishful thinking? I certainly hope not, as Morgan’s killer would ultimately have the upper hand in this scenario.
I can state as a fact that VSP maintains these homicides are completely unrelated.
B
————————————
Respectfully Blink, that could come across as a play on words. You can state as FACT that you are told by VSP that they are unrelated. That doesn’t actually MEAN that they ARE unrelated, just that VSP “Maintains” they are unrelated. I don’t know that I believe them at the moment. I respect you if you do, but I don’t.
Can you share WHAT proof they have provided that shows this?
Of course, I suppose if having 2 murderers on campus (sorry all, but just because Morgan had a toe on Copely Bridge, she was still in UVA LAND IMO), is a more reassuring thought, then lets just drop it and go back to local RSO’s.
In Mem-
That was actually not a play on words, I was being succinct and I did not say I agree with it.
I was simply saying VSP is emphatic their is no evidence to conclude the murders are related.
For me, in my work there is now a nexis.
Which means, it is in until it is out.
So no my friend, I cannot prove what I am not sure I believe myself.

I have a friend who has related to me here locally that the UVA chapter of the DKEs has been legendary for years for their behavior. No surprise that the behavior is the kind that one usually doesn’t want to be recognized for in polite society. Our current babysitter is a HOO and she is also familiar with DKE behavior. I hate to lump people together, but there does seem to be a negative pattern in this frat. This is just heresay around town and hasn’t been confirmed by me personally. Certainly a shame if the rumors are true.
*****
I strongly disagree with this. First of all, George Huguely is NOT a DKE. That rumor is incorrect. Also, I have known many DKEs and went to DKE events when I was an undergrad at UVA. I completely disagree that they are known for very bad behavior. I can think of several fraternities with much, much worse reputations (though that does not condone any bad behavior). Of course any time you get a large group of people together there are going to be a few assholes, but that does not mean the entire bunch is bad. I am not implying that they are complete angels, either. But to bring down an entire fraternity for the actions of one person WHO IS NOT EVEN A MEMBER is wrong.
I have seen similar comments about the lacrosse team as well, and I disagree with those comments too. Yes, there are assholes on the lacrosse team. Yes, what GH did was horrible. But there are also some great guys on the team, too. Unless it can be shown that the rest of the lacrosse team either was involved in this murder, encouraged it, or had any idea that it was going to happen and did not stop it, they should not have to suffer the consequences for one team member’s actions. I am certain they are all beating themselves up over whether there were any signs they missed or there was anything they could have done to prevent it. Both Yeardley’s family (the final decision was left up to them) and the Women’s lacrosse team have given their blessing for the Men’s season to continue. From what I have heard, continuing to play in Yeardley’s honor is how both teams feel they can best go about healing. They are the people most directly effected by this, and their opinion is good enough for me.
Cvillenative- you know I respect your input, and I agree that an entire Frat should not be blamed for ones actions.
However, as you say you have friends that are DKE’s, ask them if GH WAS a member of that frat.
Saying he is not an active member like he never was, is hair splitting, imo.

cvillenation: Guess George wasn’t a Lacrosse player either. He has been removed from the rooster:
http://www.virginiasports.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=17800&SPID=10601&SPSID=88762
I guess you can make anyone disappear if you want to…huh UVA???
the murder of yeardley was an egregious offense against her, anyone who knew her, and the whole UVA community. what makes this event even more difficult for me to swallow is that it only reinforces the negative perception i’ve had of men’s lacrosse players— a view i’ve been trying to dismiss or move past since it formed during my freshman year of college.
for those who want to know why people say bad things about the “culture of lacrosse,” it’s because it’s true. Not of every player, but of enough players to make an unforgettable impression.
my freshman year at college i lived on the same floor as several players on my university’s men’s lacrosse team. one of those players raped my suite mate. after watching her get beyond-drunk at a party at the lacrosse house off-campus and seeing her have to be carried home by friends, he came back to our dorm and told my roommate he wanted to “check” on her. my roommate let him in (i have no idea why, as he wasn’t friends with any of us and had no business being there) i think she realized after the fact what was going on and was freaking out when i got home (from the same party– thank god i didn’t drink at that point in my life) needless to say, i busted into her room, forced him out of her bed and out of the room— though it was an extremely uncomfortable thing to do. the girl, who was Asian, was so drunk that she wasn’t speaking English. i blame my roommate (who was this girl’s friend) for being partially responsible for this happening, though i despise the player who, i feel, preyed upon her in a very calculated way. anyway, nothing was ever reported or even talked about.
another player on the lacrosse team let himself into my room in the middle of the night once after my roommate and i forgot to lock our door. he was drunk and proceeded to take a seat next to my bed and talk to me, after waking me up. partially out of it and partially scared of making him agitated, i talked to him for a few moments before my roommate woke up and screamed at him until he left. i reported that incident to residential life staff. the guy did that to 3 different rooms of women (that semester).
as if that weren’t enough, the several players that lived on our floor also harassed a gay friend of mine who also lived on our floor. this included wonderful messages left on his dry-erase board in permanent marker and destruction of his property.
i always try to remind myself not to apply my distaste to every men’s lacrosse player, but it is really, really difficult for me not to do so. what GH did to Yeardley has only made it more difficult by reinforcing my negative associations with the sport and/or the people who choose to play it.
i don’t know what this adds to the discussion, but wanted to share it.
Blink – worth reading:
http://www.sbnation.com/2010/5/6/1459030/george-huguely-yeardley-love-uva-lacrosse-murder
snip:
To that end, we can’t look past lacrosse’s role. In my experience, the “lacrosse social scene” looks upon alcohol abuse as routine, with marijuana and cocaine ubiquitous, women disposable, and outsiders incidental. Not unlike a fraternity, except that the players at a school like UVA are considered star athletes, operating with significant leeway toward the rules, and ultimately spending most of their time hanging out around people that reinforce their skewed perception of the world.
It certainly is, thanks for posting that.

This is such an eery unnecessary tragedy! Nancy Grace made a comment the other day (one that I can actually wholeheartedly agree with) that this could of just as easily been a relationship that simply ended and both of these young people could have gone their separate ways. Although it is very possible that this young man’s behavior and apparent issues would have gone untreated and erupted in similar circumstances at some point in his life, right now we have two families that are left devastated three weeks short of what should of been a celebration of their child’s prospects for a full, rich life.
Sometimes its the lack of parenting that leads to these outcomes and sometimes its not. Either way, there are two young woman (Morgan and Yeardley) in one college community alone , with absolutely everything going for them and somehow they end up dead. While both cases involve different circumstances, perhaps they both indicate the importance of examining and really defining our role as ‘friends’. Beyond facebook, beyond party-going, beyond sharing rides and rent or even sympathetic ears, we really truly have to learn what it means to be a friend and “have each other’s backs”.
I was doing some reading and found this article. Actually I think I have this book somewhere.
* SNIP*
Killers like to take trophies and souvenirs from their victims. Keeping some memento — a lock of hair, jewelry, newspaper clips of the crime — helps prolong, even nourish, their fantasy of the crime. In my research, I’ve seen this happen again and again.
Here’s what to look for in an investigation: Is there anything missing that belongs to the victim? Often police will mistakenly look for valuable missing items. But I’m not talking about a stereo component — that’s an impersonal item. I’m talking about something more personal — a ring, earrings, even costume jewelry — something the victim was wearing at the time of the crime.
http://www.johndouglasmindhunter.com/articles/030213.php
A friend of mine turned into an alcoholic, which completely destroyed his life. It all began at school, when we were around 16 years old. He got drunk, just as the other boys that age, they lost the habit after the first few hangovers, he didn’t. He got addicted.
At that point we were very good friends. When we left school, he was still all right-ish, but things deteriorated from that point on. His parents must have believed that it was normal for a guy that age to get drunk all the time, and they even gave him a substantial amount of pocket money to spend for his habit. We both went to university, he failed his degree and ended up at a polytechnic. At that point he had already had several run ins with the law – and I suspect there were more than I know of. His father was very wealth and his lawyers managed to get good deals for him, usually by finding technical mistakes somewhere.
He graduated, got married, got divorced very early, and finally tried to commit suicide in the most spectacular manner, trying to crash his car into his ex wife’s house. This was after he was chased down the highway by two police cars for obvious drunk driving. He missed her house and crashed into a wall. He could have killed various others on his way.
His parents didn’t appear in hospital, but I did, and it was me who gave him a lift to his house after he was released weeks later following extensive surgery. It wasn’t easy to deal with an alcoholic, but he was still a very good friend, even though his personality was fading away. At that point I was in the middle of my PhD, and still singing in a reasonably good choir; he gave up on music when he left school. We both made it into the local newspaper – me for some academic achievements, and him for the story I mentioned above. Maybe this would be the right moment to mention that he was actually quite talented at school.
He got married again, and there were rumours that he was cheating on his wife, which I didn’t believe. At some point he appeared at my house, and for the first time ever I saw him in a state of rage, slamming doors, screaming. Then he noticed my very good looking flat mate and tried to persuade her to drink with him, or rather to get her drunk, and then he also gave me this strange look. Somehow I managed to get him out of my flat, I locked the door from the inside and never spoke to him again. He kept calling me, but I never answered.
This is how alcohol can destroy a life. Myself, I am lucky, and I don’t get addicted. I can have a glass of wine with a meal at a restaurant, and I won’t stop at a dodgy corner shop to buy a bottle of cheap liquor on my way home.
Alcoholism is a serious disease. The only treatment is never to drink again. Personally, I am convinced that it would never have come to this point had his parents intervened while he was still at school, or university. Money had a negative influence as well. He never had to work while he was in education, and he knew his father’s lawyers would come and rescue him.
Whenever I hear about a case like this I get angry. This whole concept of what people believe to be honour is bigotry to me. It is not honourable to get arrested for drunk and disorderly. It is not honourable to cover things up until something far worse happens.
“doesn’t it make anyone think ’someone is a shirt taker!’”
Eloise – I believe the bloody shirt you mention in your 5/6 11:15 posting is GH’s shirt that police took from his apartment; I think a DNA check will find that the blood is Yeardley’s.

What’s up with UVA?
I’m not sure if anyone else has been following the Robert Wone case in DC(the trial starts on Monday).
Robert Wone was murdered four years ago, according to LE and ME’s report he was drugged (half a dozen needle marks on his body),sexually assaulted (w/ his own semen found in his rectum) and then stabbed three times. According to LE he was then showered, cleaned up and placed on the bed.
Joe Price, a UVA law school graduate and his two “roommates/lovers”(Dylan and Victor)have only been charged with evidence tampering and obstruction of justice–LE has not been able to tie them directly to the crime (yet). Unfortunately, LE and FBI both made mistakes (e.g.-evidence not tested).
Eric Holder, (now our Attorney General) was Robert Wone’s wife’s attorney.
And if anyone watches Greta’s show on Fox–they know who Bernie Grimm is, he’s one of the attorneys for the defense.
Legally, it’s an interesting case. Plus, I would love to see justice for Robert–he was a well respected attorney, a loving husband and well respected man in the community (he did lots of volunteer work).
Just google Robert Wone and you’ll find more information about his case(if you’re so inclined).
Sorry for going OT.

More information continues to come out about Huguely’s temper and past problems…
“The Washington Examiner reported Thursday that Huguely, 22, had to be rescued in the Atlantic Ocean in Palm Beach County, Fla., after an argument with his father on a fishing boat in December 2008. Huguely wanted to return to shore and attempted to swim the quarter-mile back.”

I stated once and am going to state it again. If you are going to commit a crime, make sure you are on UVA property, or better yet, enroll.
__________________________________________
Oh good grief. Hugeley was arrested and charged with murder 1 within a few hours of committing his crime so being a UVA student didn’t help him very much. Morgan, IMO, was probably killed by someone she had never known before that night. There is a reason serial killers usually get away with it for years until caught in the act. It is very hard to catch a killer who does not have a relationship with the victim. The wahoos lost a brilliant member this week and the press and people just want to pick and pick to find someone to lash out at while we mourn.
As for the firefighter verdict, ask the citizens of charlottesville who sat on the juries and heard days/weeks of testimony (instead of just reading a blurb on a message board) why they decided how they did. They were students and most likely don’t like students very much (like many non student residents of any college town) but they found a reason to come back with manslaughter.
Thank you M:

“doesn’t it make anyone think ’someone is a shirt taker!’”
Eloise – I believe the bloody shirt you mention in your 5/6 11:15 posting is GH’s shirt that police took from his apartment; I think a DNA check will find that the blood is Yeardley’s.

I didnt get that out of the report I heard. It might lessen my suspicious mind that I have.
just wondering did gh live alone or roommate?
sorry– meant they were not students
Yes, IMoG, UVa not only removed George Huguely from their current roster, which is understandable, but they also removed him from all past rosters, as if he was never there. UVa is an excellent University and C-ville is an awesome small city, but UVa will go to ridiculous lengths to polish their reputation. B, looking forward to your next expose on STAB, and will it relate to Morgan?
It is not specific to STAB, which is an excellent school. The focus will be on disclosure and policy, regardless of the cashflow.

I can’t see how a connection could be out so quickly
1) Too close of a vicinity between where Morgan was last seen and UVA, where Morgan’s purse was found and where Yeardley lived, and now someone saying that he had close family ties to someone who owned undeveloped land less than a quarter of a mile from where Morgan was found on AF.
2) Both women had obvious physical trauma, brutally beaten.
3) Both women looked similar (a lot of guys like a particular kind of girl, whether it be blond hair and blue eyes or dark hair and darker skin tone, etc – I know someone who’s second wife looks SO much like his ex-wife, it’s crazy!), same age, etc.
4) I don’t know whose shirt was found in GH’s possession, but if it is Yeardley’s, that would mean both women were seperated from their shirts.
5) A while back, we were thinking Morgan’s killer may be someone flying under LE’s radar, coming from money, with anger issues, and someone whose appearance would be that of someone Morgan would trust, i.e. a fellow college aged student. Ummm…
6) LaCross player finds Morgan’s purse.
7) Frat parties may also possibly place him at AF.
Just because they were ex-BF/GF does not mean it is an isolated case. Obviously, who ever did this to Morgan had anger issues. Someone with that kind of anger would certainly be capable and probable to sooner or later harm someone close to him, like a girlfriend or wife, because he “got mad” or “didn’t get his way”.
I’m just saying, to say that it is definately not related would be a bit premature, in my opinion. Even if there were no visible possible connections, which there are possible connections, I would say it would be too premature to consider it definatetly out. I mean, we are looking for someone with severe anger issues to be responsible for Morgan. What he did to Yeardly proves he has that severe anger.
Is G.H. a former frat boy as of being arrested for murder, or was he asked to leave DKE prior to most recent arrest?
I am telling you he was booted from DKE. I have to say it is freaking me out totally how this kid got a pass at every turn. I am very good at what I do. I can say that, because I suck at more than I excell at.
That said, I am of a reasonable certainty that there are other female abuse victims from this kid, that have never come forward.

Wow, maybe DH’s parents were smiling because they are happy he’s finally going to be put away and off their hands!
What can we do to help the Harringtons in their effort to keep our women, especially our young women on and around campuses, safe? Can we all starting writing letters? Who do we write to? Petitions? What can we do? I’m going crazy over here because I know what we can’t do – we can’t sit idle anymore and watch more and more lifes be taken by violence. This is getting out of control. I just don’t know what it is to do that will actually change something. I feel helpless, like us as a people have let these victims down by not doing enough to protect them.
