Beauty and The Beast: The Predictable Murder of Yeardley Love By George Huguely

Charlottesville, VA- At approximately 9 PM the evening of May 2nd, George Huguely, V left a golf outing he drank at all day, visibly intoxicated according to fellow attendees. It was the beginning of the end of a rancorous binge drinking track record for the prodigal son of George and Marta (Sanson Murphy) Huguely.
It was the gruesome end for star athlete Yeardley Reynolds Love.
Yeardley said ITS OVER to the heir of Huguely’s family’s century old lumber business and spent the last weeks of her life in fear George would make good on his threats.
Sources inside the circle of Love and her family have stated that the most recent threats and public observation of the couple occurred at Huguely’s former frat, Delta Kappa Epsilon.
Following this incident, Yeardley left campus and stayed at her Cockeysville home where her Mother, Sharon Donnelly Love, begged her to file a police report.
Yeardley refused as she did not want it to interrupt the last weeks of both teams winning seasons. She believed because the last scene was so public Huguely would have no choice but to back off for fear of compromising his status on the UVA mens team.
For anyone unsure about the locker room brethren, as reported by NY Daily News:
A former Virginia student who was friends with both Love and Huguely described a disturbing incident in which Huguely recently reportedly attacked Love, then had no recollection of it the next day, which precipitated their final breakup. “He was really messed up and punched a window of a car on the way over to her apartment that night,” the friend said, speaking on the condition of anonymity out of consideration for Love’s family. The friend said Huguely had been seen breaking bottles at another party before Love’s death and had told people he was going to her apartment to get Love back.
D K E
While Huguely is not listed as an active brother on DKE roster, this Falls newsletter touts an impressive Rush week which rounds out the Dekes with 14 Varsity Athletes; 12 of them from the men’s Lacrosse team. The DKE roster has not been updated to reflect active brothers since 2008 and an email request to alumni affairs director Ian Graham has not been returned. The DKE facebook account has been deleted.
By all accounts, in retrospect, Yeardley’s murder was a predictable incident. Preventable.
Not inasmuch as it could have been foreseen per se, but Generation George was a time bomb.
Incidents abound from his days in Palm Beach where he jumped ship after an argument with Generation G4 whereby he swam to shore as well as his arrest for drunken swearing and THREATENING TO KILL A COP WITH A SIDE OF RACIAL SLUR in November 2008.
There are 8 UVA Men’s Lacrosse members that have had alcohol related arrests in the last two years.
Nationally ranked 2008 Team Captain Will Barrow stunned the entire lacrosse community when he committed suicide two weeks after Huguely’s Rockbridge County arrest.
Ryan Nizolek, #24, was arrested in High School for smuggling steroids into the US from Mexico on a family vacation and brought them to school in a Rolaids bottle.
As the news broke of Yeardley’s murder I have been inundated with emails and texts from several UVA students and their family members that have been admonished not to speak publicly, not to accept new facebook friends and not to answer any questions from the media on or off campus.
The paradox of telling the grieving and concerned matriculation to effectively zip it, after doing just that may have cost Yeardley Love her life, is absurd.
A witness who observed the last physical confrontation between Love and Huguely email excerpt to blinkoncrime.com provided on the condition of anonymity:
…”You have to understand.. He is a big dude with a bigger personality. If anyone has ever told him no, I am not aware of it. It was obvious she did not want him near her. She told him that, and it took 3 of us to hold him back. She was a little thing and she put on a good face, but I walked away feeling like that was not over. I said to lax(xx) that asshole is going to get himself killed or kill somebody. He was nicer on the turf for f*cks sake, I didn’t get it…..”
We are all obsessed about our last year in the game. Everyone parties like rock stars because half of us have more money than rock stars. Well, our parents do.
That is bullshit about him not being a Deke, btw. He beat up a fellow brother in his sleep drunk off his ass one night because he was sleeping on the couch he wanted to sit on, or go to bed on or whatever- He was booted and his friends wanted to stay. That pissed him off royally. His Dad partied with us once in a while. I remember wishing he was my Dad, and then I saw those two go at it. I would still have been cool with a Dad that is that loaded, but not if it meant Huge was my bro.
It wasn’t so much that he was raging all the time. It was weird. It was more like he was 2 diff people. You know what I mean? Like a mood swing on crack. DON’T publish I said he was on crack. Roids for sure and there was mention of an 8 the day of the murder. It was almost like he felt like he was insulted when he was around better players than him. He loved the sport but he had no respect for anyone if they were better in the X.
Do I think anyone intervening could have stopped a murder? I am not sure if that is a fair question or a set up.
My Mom asked me the same thing. I told her I did not get it. There is tons of Hoo Pumpers everywhere, especially this season. I never saw him without some chick, so I don’t get that part. He was a big clamper I heard though, if he didn’t have something cookin. It was not like he could not **** anyone he wanted. He was always like .. Give and Go Bro, everytime I saw him and I had a date. Tell me if you don’t know the lingo but I think you might. I heard ya got skills.
Lol, I am aware that only happens in college before you say something lecture-like.
I really wish I knew that nobody knew what was going on with him. We woulda pulled that scared straight shit on him. Like his version, shop at target instead of Abercrombie for the rest of his life no beach houses. That mighta been harsh of me to say before now. We just hate what he did to his girl, and our last year. I worked my ass off, we all did, and it should have been our thing to remember. Instead, it is fu***** lockdown.
I have reviewed UVA Athletic Director Craig Littlepage quotes on the matter.
Frankly, as an editorial, that verbiage would not have flown from any coach I have ever had, or respected, regardless of the sport.
“They never told me, nothing was reported to me” is the equivalent of ignorance of the law, which is no defense.
How do 8 arrests and a suicide, among other “not so documentable” infractions NOT constitute a red flag, or an intervention?
Safety does not come with a price tag. It comes from accountability and awareness. Huguely posted bond following his arrest on November 15, 2008.
Somebody had to know he was incarcerated. He had a public defender in that case so the question is– Who posted it and how was the fact he was off campus for a few days prior to the Thanksgiving break missed by his coaches?
At the time of this writing, the Virginia Commonwealth has issued an order sealing the search warrants in this case retroactively.
While the justification of that request by Charlottesville Police has not been released, it is an unusual move in a case that has not even seen its first bond hearing or an indictment.
Could it mean that Huguely is connected to the murder of Morgan Harrington?
Virginia State Police, who maintains jurisdiction in the Harrington case is emphatic it is not.
..”It was a Lacrosse player who discovered the purse. However, there is no evidence to indicate any connection between Morgan or the Love homicide. .. There is no connection between these two homicides, so I am not going to even entertain the additional questions. We are not identifying the individual who found the purse…” Corrine Geller, PR Manager VSP to blinkoncrime.com
Morgan’s purse was located by an unidentified male lacrosse player on the way to boarding the bus to an exhibition match in Annapolis, MD.
We have a player accused of first degree murder that by his own statements has had violent encounters with others he has not remembered.
We have players with land connections to the area of North Garden as well an individual who has personally preformed site survey work on Blandemar and Anchorage Farm.
Have all the Lacrosse players been questioned about the circumstances of finding the posession of a missing and murdered woman who was last seen on the UVA campus?
The cases may be may be unrelated.
The Harrington’s buried their daughter Morgan.
The Love family is burying their daughter Yeardley.
Isn’t it time for a little disclosure as to whether or not these lingering questions have been asked and answered?
Yeardley Love, will receive her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science with a minor in Spanish posthumously with her class from the University of Virginia.
Love’s family and friends begin receiving those wishing to pay their respects today where she will also be laid to rest tomorrow, in Maryland.

So does this imply GH was offering the author of this e mail assistance? Because when I first read this I understood that GH was asking him to disappear and leave the girl with him.

Holy Moly! Would it be on a certain – Now Burned down house in North Garden???….just speculation.
Here is a You Tube site that is about 6 minutes long, but toward the end it shows the team boarding the bus to go to the Navy game. I believe this is the morning of Oct. 18 or maybe even the afternoon of the 17th. I don’t know which. I am unable to hear the audio on the computer I’m using right now, so I can’t tell what’s being said. It also takes us through a tour of the locker room and shows some practice shots.

You may have to scroll down on the videos to the right to find the one I’m talking about. It’s titled Virginia Cam: Locker Room & Practice.
Okay, the video is dated November 20, 2008. Sorry. But it’s still good info. It did have a lot of hits.

the “sports” term “give and go” means to give it(the ball) up, and i’ll give it(the ball) right back…i said earlier that it was a basketball ‘phrase/play’…after some thought, it probably is commonly used in LaX as well, or any other sport where unlimited ‘passing’ is allowed, ie-LaX, Basketball, Soccer…
…womanizing…
sorry for the “string post” Blink…disjointed thought apparently
One more quick question! The bloody shirt that was taken from GH’s apartment, was that Love’s shirt? Or the shirt GH wore during the attack? People are commenting that it was Love’s shirt and I don’t know if I read that a different way, but I took it to mean the shirt HE was wearing. It may be just going over my head at the moment! : )

It is common that a true drinker in a hospital setting will go into DT’s at the 48hr mark. It is custom to give medication, IE Ativan to supress these symptoms as they can lead to siezures/psychosis. Wonder what all has gone on with him since incarcerated?
I have no idea what protocols they have for such a thing in jail.??
http://www2.dailyprogress.com/cdp/news/local/article/casteen_governor_meet_in_wake_of_lacrosse_death/56025/
The article’s about President Casteen’s meeting with the Governor of VA.
Additional detail from article:
“Casteen was asked if he still has confidence in UVa men’s lacrosse coach Dom Starsia, given reports that Starsia knew about a previous incident in which Huguely attacked another player.
‘Certainly,’ Casteen said, ‘to the extent that I have information.’
Casteen said he is standing behind Starsia, but he is also waiting on the results from an internal inquiry.”
B, I dunno, but I’ll say it for the third time: One of the mens LAX players graduated from Monticello HS. Monticello HS serves North Garden, as well as other parts of Albemarle County.
This is an article on the local player. I found this excerpt interesting:
“With about $5,000 in capital earned from a high-school landscaping business, they set up shop down the street from the bar where the Dave Matthews Band got its start.”
I wonder where said landscaping was done?
yep.

I am unsure if anyone has posted this link yet, but here is the statement issued by GH’s mother. Really a sad situation for everyone involved, but of course, my thoughts are mainly with Yeardley’s family and friends.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/magazine/05/11/virginia.lacrosse/1.html
Here is SI’s piece on the Yeardley Love case. Has a few details of which I was unaware, including the following:
[SNIP]
A fourth-year UVA student told SI last week that earlier this year Huguely approached her at Boylan Heights and obtained her phone number. “He was cute, and he was charming when he was sober,” she says. But before they met in person again, Huguely bombarded her with text messages, sometimes as many as 20 in one hour — “never before 3 a.m.,” she says — asking to come to her apartment. “I’m kind of freaked out right now,” she says.
[/SNIP]
So I ask again: VSP, have you interviewed the lacrosse team about members’ whereabouts 10/17 and the morning of 10/18, and about any “different” behavior out of teammates?
How on Earth can George Huguely so easily be discounted in Morgan’s case?
That said, I am not about to stop looking at and thinking about everyone else I’ve ever considered. I feel sure there are at least overlaps due to partying/drugs.
We are in sync acho-
Great read, fyi
B
Good job Starbucks.
I didn’t say that UT had been cleaned up for good. In fact what I should have said is that it needs it again.
It appears that most of our big schools are in the same shape. Why? Because of big money and athletics.
In fact one of my friends was on csmpus at the chemistry building when the tower shooting took place.
If I had my choice, there would be zero commercial sports activities at any college or university and no campus would be allowed to have more than 6000 students. Amatur teams playing one another, yes, but leave the big money out of it.
We have a cutural problem with young people and drugs of all types, after all alcohol is a drug.
Because of the large populotions at the big schools, administration must delegate authority and this is where the dificulty lies. With smaller school populations, this is less of a problem. And, like any community that is not large, most people come to know one another.
From wiki:
A give-and-go is a fundamental maneuver in many team sports which involves two players passing the ball or puck back and forth. The player who has the ball or puck passes to a teammate and then repositions in order to receive a return pass and a scoring opportunity.
So we have guesses ventured that the lax party on Oct. 17 was at a local player’s house. Someone else wondered if the newspaper delivery woman who was certain she saw Morgan that night might have seen her with GH. I was going to venture the guess that the party was at a student residence on the west lawn– there was a reported sighting of Morgan here, though it was never confirmed or proven. Does anyone know where athletes usually live on the UVA campus?

Agreed. It’s not even relevant to the situation.
I don’t think Grath Brooks is singing about a LOVEly, innocent and talented beauty who was brutalized by a drunk kid who had the world by the ‘privates’ (my son’s favorite word).
Whoever quoted those lyrics is completely unfamiliar with the case, imo.
Acho, I also agree! I’ve said it earlier, it’s way too early to discount a link between Yeardley and Morgan’s murders. I’ll believe it when it’s been proven beyond a shadow of doubt GH had absolutely ZERO involvement with Morgan’s death.
Re: GH’s new digs at the Charlottesville/Albemarle Joint Security Complex: Depending upon the nature of the charges and the defendant’s profile, moving an individual to a segregated unit (“seg”) is not uncommon. In certain instances, this sort of move is initiated as a result of concerns about the security of the individual were s/he to remain in the general population. [I appreciate the irony.]
All: Thank you for the kind words about the untimely death of my employee. As Eloise said upthread, when it rains, it pours. Candidly, it feels like it’s been pouring in CV since Oct. 17, 2009. I remain hopeful, however, that sunnier days lie ahead, two of which remain in my personal cross-hairs: the identification of Morgan’s murderer, and the day that GH faces a courtroom and is taken to account for his unspeakable brutality against Yeardley. Meanwhile…
TO: All CV locals: I received in the mail today an invitation to an Open House for the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance (a statewide coalition formerly known as VAASA – “Virginians Aligned Against Sexual Assault” and VADV – “Virginians Against Domestic Violence”). The Open House is open to the public and will be held on Thurs., May 20, from 4:30-6pm at the state headquarters at 1415 Sachem Place, Suite 1. [Sachem Village business offices are located near Albemarle High School, off of Whitewood Rd.]
While I am unfortunately unable to attend due to a prior commitment, I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about what they can do to help end domestic and sexual violence in VA go to the open house and meet the people who are working tirelessly on behalf of survivors across this state. Go, listen, learn, and show your support.
On behalf of all survivors, thank you.
I walked over Morgan’s bridge today, and the memorial is holding up pretty well for all the rain today. I will post some more bridge photos this weekend after the weather clears up and I get out to photograph some more.

If you tell me the party was held in the original Anchorage farmhouse, I might just shit a 19th Century American-bond brick (Mid-Century/Gothic Revival, natch!)
I am not saying that so no need to order the doughnut for that brick, lol.

At first I would have guessed give-and-go meant something akin to love em and leave em… now, my guess would be it’s crude guy speak for.. good job man, hot girl. My guess is GHV’s attempt at giving a compliment to his bro. I doubt that it was meant to be taken as literally sharing. He’s committed plenty of crimes.. this probably isn’t one but still insight into even in giving a compliment he chose to be crude.

——————————————————————–
Could this be a certain house in North Garden that burned down???
I know most believe that Yeardley and Morgan are not connected.
I am one of the few that believes they are connected.
But, if I am wrong, and they are not, and Morgan’s killer is still out there, I do have one serious question…..What is LE doing to protect other women from the killer they haven’t caught yet? Have they increased police presence/beefed up security around UVA, Copley Bridge (I do believe a read that college women frequently jog on the bridge, no?), and JPJ Arena? I don’t know, maybe they have, I’m asking. I mean, just the fact that he’s done this and gotten away with it so far makes him even more dangerous than before, which makes him a real safety risk.
@ acho May 11, 2010 at 6:58 pm
When I look at this brief sketch of his lifestyle, I am just amazed that he was still able to play lacrosse, or study as a matter of fact.
IIRC, wasn’t there evidence of blunt force trauma to Morgan’s skull? It is possible Morgan and Yeardley suffered similiar deaths. A comparison of injuries, if it’s possible, could lead to connections?

Message to Dr. Harrington: just a quick note for you. Before you try to decide which t-shirts to keep and which ones to give away, why don’t you keep as many as will make a nice-sized quilt? (In case you aren’t familiar, you just take the clothing and cut quilting squares from it to make the quilt. Jeans, t shirts, jerseys, any familiar item will work well.) I’m in my 20′s and have lost my mother, father, as well as many other dear people, and I always thought that being able to wrap up in a quilt that is so uniquely “that person” is incredibly comforting. I don’t know if that helps you or not, but please know your family is in my prayers always.

Blink, thank you. Headhurts has some issue with my post, and I need to respond. Thank you for allowing me to respond if I may.
Headhurts: Not sure why you are calling me out, and not sure what your motives are. If indeed you want to stir the pot on this thread, and or and manipulate my words out of context, you are sorely mistaken.
If I may offer/give you some simple definitions for your mental recall to be able to read and conceptulize my post.
Please take no offense, as I have no idea as to your mental conceptual level, or your physical age/maturity level:
These definitions can be applied after reading to my original post. This does encourage a critical mind and thinking on your part. Challenges I know! You can do it!
Here is the literal def of POSITIVE:
definitions of POSITIVE: emphasizing what is laudable, hopeful, or to the good; constructive: a positive attitude toward the future; positive things to say about a painting.
10.
not speculative or theoretical; practical: a positive approach to the problem.
11.
possessing an actual force, being, existence, etc.
12.
Philosophy.
a.
constructive and sure, rather than skeptical.
b.
concerned with or based on matters of experience: positive philosophy.
Now…we are going to add a Concept! YAY!
Now, I am adding another new word, this word is called JUSTICE: This new addition is called JUSTICE. Beware we have to add these 2 concepts together. Are you ready, I know you can do it Headhurts!
jus·tice (jsts)
n.
1. The quality of being just; fairness.
2.
a. The principle of moral rightness; equity.
b. Conformity to moral rightness in action or attitude; righteousness.
3.
a. The upholding of what is just, especially fair treatment and due reward in accordance with honor, standards, or law.
b. Law The administration and procedure of law.
4. Conformity to truth, fact, or sound reason: The overcharged customer was angry, and with justice.
5. Abbr. J. Law
a. A judge.
b. A justice of the peace.
OK Headhurts, now comes the tuff part.( You can do it!) These 2 concepts are combined into what I wish for Morgan Harrington, and have been for months now.
Hey, Headhurts, if I may be so bold, why don’t you go get a life, or a different different blog to troll on? I’m here for Morgan Harrington and so wish for her what Yeardley Love has now, and I hope somehow deep down you do to. That is what call JUSTICE, ( please apply definition above) and yes, JUSTICE is a very postive thing in a murder case.

I also wondered about the way that Longo paused and then cited sensitivity to Love’s family as his reason for declining to answer as to whether she was clothed when found. If she was clothed, I think he would have just said yes. Saying she was unclothed or partially clothed would have been insensitive. JMO
Blink, I am sorry if you have about ten of the same comment about the shirt and snips from the Hook, Huffington Post, and Sports Illustrated-it keeps disappearing, giving me strange messages and not showing up for moderation. I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone.
That is also because when I was at the grocery store this evening, an older woman with long white hair and a long coat walked right up to me, looked me in the eyes and shook my hand! I had seen her as she approached me and she paid no attention to anyone else around us, just went straight for me. I was afraid it was someone I just didn’t remember and I said “Oh hi, how are you?” as she shook my hand and she simply walked away and I never saw her again the rest of the time I was in the store. She didn’t smile or speak, just stared!
It was sort of creepy and definitely surreal! I’ve been telling family members and asking them what I’m supposed to do with that. Does it mean something, or was it just a weird, random occurrence. I have lots of those, but this was one of the stranger ones!
Sorry to keep bothering you about my uncooperative post. Maybe it keeps going away because I’m not meant to post it!

A daily maintenance drinker might have issues with seizure and or delerium tremens, but the time frame can be from a few hours after last drink, up to about 10 days in extreme cases. Most facilities will use the CIWA Scale (Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment of Alcohol), a uniformed scale for determining how much, and of what substance to give a person in alcohol withdrawal. The medicines are almost always in the Benzodiazepine category, ie: Librium, Ativan, Klonopin, Serax, Xanax, Valium, etc.
With all of that being said, I really don’t think GH was a daily maintenance drinker, I think him to be more of a raging binge drinker.

I am disturbed by the reign of indifference and the culture of complacency about violence on campus, particularly at UVA. This most recent murder of a student in Charlottesville is being attributed to a breakdown in communication. That is simply blame shifting. What has occurred, again, is a breakdown in the policy of acceptance and the system of enabling that allows violence and assaults to occur unchecked.
Over the years many students’ lives have been devastated by predatory acts on campus. It’s a new day and our world is experiencing an escalation of violence everywhere- and on campuses now lives are being lost, not just disrupted. The body count is rising. When will that number be significant enough to provoke real, substantive, thoughtful introspection and accountability, not just platitudes that support the status quo?
It is a new day. It is a time for a different response. Ugly, tragic, violent things have happened in your community to precious young lives, on your watch. It is time to do the honorable thing and NOT turn aside.

I could not agree more.
Sadly, the title of my piece includes the words “predictable murder”, because it was.

B, I dunno, but I’ll say it for the third time: One of the mens LAX players graduated from Monticello HS. Monticello HS serves North Garden, as well as other parts of Albemarle County.
This is an article on the local player. I found this excerpt interesting:
“With about $5,000 in capital earned from a high-school landscaping business, they set up shop down the street from the bar where the Dave Matthews Band got its start.”
I wonder where said landscaping was done?
yep.

————————-
This article tells volumes:
“Bolton, a backup goalie and urban and environmental planning major” — Doesn’t someone in this field study growth and development of land for residential/commercial type building?
“As a high school senior…at Charlottesville’s Monticello High School, just a few miles from UVA’s campus” — This would be the same school that kids who lived in North Garden would go.
“With about $5,000 in capital earned from a high-school landscaping business” —As Blink says, I wonder where said landscaping was done?”
“We built our own cart and we set up pretty much everyday for three years in the summer and traveled around to festivals throughout the state.” —– What sort of festivals??? Music festivals???
Said “Steve Holmes, a former Virginia standout and Major League Lacrosse player, coached Bolton at Monticello and this season joined Dom Starsia’s Virginia staff as a volunteer assistant.”
“He doesn’t need my help for anything because so many people have his back. Will has my vote if he decided to run for mayor of Charlottesville and he’d probably have a decent shot because he knows everybody.” ——Everybody???
The last quote is the irony. Article Written May 2nd;
“‘It’s been kind of surreal for me, being from Charlottesville,” he said. “You really couldn’t end a lacrosse career on a higher note than being on a team that wins a national championship.” —-sadly, no high note even if they do win, it will be bittersweet.
This guy seems to have many connections to UVA and the local community.
Oh yeah, one other thing…he is a member of DEKE fraternity at UVA.
I am still looking for more information about a guy seen on video who was annoying Morgan at the Sons of Bill performance at BrewRidgeTrail festival 2009. Was that guy ever identified? (the video was taken down sometime in February)
Keekee, we miss you, and hope you’re ok.

Dr. Harrington – I totally agree with every single word!! Excellent post!
Blink, was it confirmed that the Lacrosse players were indeed jogging, as was originally reported? Do we also know if GH was part of the group that “found” the purse?
I am not sure I have ever seen that reference about the LAX players jogging? Can you source please?
VSP is not releasing the ID of the purse finder.
