Morgan Harrington Murder: Anchorage Farm Could Yield Even More Clues
Disclaimer–
Charlottesville, VA– In a new development in the murder investigation of Morgan Dana Harrington, blinkoncrime.com has learned that Anchorage Farm was very much a frequent party spot for local musicians.
In fact, there was a 7 Mile Sleepover exactly one week after Morgan’s disappearance from the JPJ arena that included an invitation list of over 130 guests.
Jenny Bass, the adult daughter of David and Nancy Bass, is an accomplished pianist, musician, horticulturist and artist in the Charlottesville community.
The Seven Mile Sleepover appears to have been posted prior to Morgan’s disappearance, approximately October 14, 2009.
While it is unconfirmed how many guests actually attended the event, it is clear there could have been over 100 people within a few hundred yards of Morgan’s final resting place a week after she went missing, and presumably, her death.
As Anchorage Farm is a verified crime scene in an active murder investigation, one wonders if anyone found anything they may not have realized of importance at the time.
According to her facebook, Ms. Bass was clearly disturbed by her discovery as well:

Eloise, It seems that ties together Olivia, Anotherb, Mynamehere and Mom 3.0 ( apolly if I missed anyone, please point it out to me if I did) thoughts.
Fwiw, I found comfort in it, and sent it to Dr. H. The minted coins reminded me of the gold jewelry Gil and Morgan sometimes shared.

Happy Fish Day, Fish!
Hope you have wonderful Fish food and prezzies.
You already have an abundance of blessings!
Ditto to My Fish-
Big Happy 48!

“The fire happened before Morgan was found.”
Not necessarily. The fire happened before Morgan was found by Mr. Bass maybe. Morgan could have been observed to have been washed out of a shallow grave by one or more persons before the house fire.
Speaking of the house fire, is the investigation complete by the local fire department yet?
I recall reading about the Celtic holidays – I’m of Scots and Irish descent. Christmas in December was an easy switch from Yule – it was only then that I connected the “yule log”. I’ve mentioned my reading of the Arthurian legends – anyway, there was this really cool painting of Morgan LeFey casting a spell over a yule log….looking back on it now I don’t think she was thinking Merry Christmas to All at Camelot. Changing the subject, does anyone recall the photo of Morgan with the Obama for President poster – it looked like she may have been sitting on a bed in a dorm room. TIA
Yikes B!
You put two years on me!
Only 46 and yes, today’s the day!
May it also be the day someone is hauled in!
Lol, I’m such an ass. My bad.
I thought the other day you said you had seven years on me, and I am 41.
Happy 50th my friend.
Hugs

Blink,
I can’t see the pictures of AF. I did briefly look at Crimewriter’s video, but the quality was bad.
The leg wound – is it in the thigh area?
If so, there are many myths which incorporate the thigh or a leg wound or birth – as in Dionysus -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionysus#Birth
and the Grail myth of the wounded Fisher King.
However, this Goddess drawing is troubling. Troubling because I want to dismiss it as meaningless, yet ….. my “Spiderman sense” is tingling. The sword may either be Tibetan or Hindu in reference. From what I saw, looks more Tibetan. Also, the lotus position of the legs would place it more in the Tibetan or Buddhist camp (Hindu deities are usually standing).
Best case scenario – some of JB’s friends had a meditation/prayer ritual sometime after Oct 17th to pray for Morgan’s safe return, using symbols to evoke a sense of protection for Morgan.
Possible?
This is tricky metaphysical ground. Many of my friends are Tibetan Buddhists, and I have studied it well myself. The symbolism of skulls and blood, death rebirth, etc. are very much a positive (though weird to us) way of focusing on higher awareness and compassion for others.
Read Joseph Campbell’s work on this.
The million dollar questions are -
1. what is the degree of separation between Morgan and Jenny Bass’s friends?
2. Did Morgan ever go to Anchorage Farm?
Many of you, through your excellent research, may be getting us close to answering those questions. Kudos to you.
Astrology and mythology are my areas of expertise, so I’ll be glad to field any questions anyone has.
And may I repeat, every single one of the missing and murdered persons in the C-ville area beginning with the Childs/Metzler murders in Aug 2009, disappeared or was killed on the New, 1st Quarter, Full and Last Quarter Moons. October 17th was a New Moon (Libra).
Grounds for thought and further research.

The chunk out of the leg I would sincerely appreciate someone weighing in on, I could not find that reference anywhere.

Chunk out of leg: Ganesha has the head of an elephant, which symbolizes sagacity and wisdom. The most common account of Ganesha’s birth is that while Parvati (Goddess of beauty and sweetness, symbolizing marital harmony, Shiva’s consort) was washing herself, she took some dirt and unguent from her leg to form a model of a man.
Ok, I’m gonna ask…Could the chunk out of the leg be because of a dog bite? I know that sounds crazy but as I am having a hard time understanding the above posts, I just wanted to ask. It is very plain and simple and really not that smart but just had to ask.
Well, I realized I did not look up unguent till just now, and it means a bandage preparation, not an actual piece of her leg, so I guess that might not apply either.
Fish, I think given the portrait in juxtaposition with the other “works” unrolled on the floor, we are trying to figure out the symbolisim behind it. To be frank, with what little we know, a dog bite reference is as good as any.

Can’t remember what I said. Remember I fell off of a ladder and wonked my head. At this point, what does age matter! I’m ready for some botox and a good bloody mary!
But I knew I had some years on ya!
Blink,
I am going to come right out and ask, has LE spoken with JB?
And does LE know where Melon guy is? Have they spoken with him?
Thanks
They are not going to confirm witness interviews publicly, of any kind.
Sorry.

anotherB: thank you for your May 24 6:04pm post. It helps me to solidify my take that these pix probably depict nothing more than a drawing game played by a bunch of stoned artists who may (or may not) have had conversations regarding Morgan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes me too! I was just getting caught up and saw the post about collective drawing. My sister and her friends are very much into psychedelic drugs (Shrooms, Acid, MDMA, Molly etc.) Every time they plan one of their gatherings (usually in the woods during warmer months) they will do some sort of collective art project. Large group drawings, paintings, carving totem poles etc. Some of the group is artistic to begin with and others under the influence somehow feel the sense of creativeness. These drugs usually last 5-10 hours so this is what they will do for hours on end. I’ve been to some of the music festivals and not only have I seen her pictures but I have seen this activity myself. They like to express themselves through art and music as well. They have the usual drum circles and my sister’s boyfriend will play his homemade didgeridoo. I see a lot of similarities between this group I know personally and JB and her friends. The scrolls and drawings remind me of the saying….”this is your brain on drugs”. They seem all over the place. Maybe they subconsciously worked Morgan into their theme, I don’t know. In fact we don’t even know when these drawings were created. Since JB must be aware of this article and site (seeing that her profile is now set to private) I wish she would come here and enlighten us about her artwork.
Blink, I think the Harringtons will really like reading the information on Morrigan.
Can this case get any stranger?
Did you get a feeling that VSP knew about these pictures before you showed them? Would you be able to at least tell us your opinion on that Blink?
Happy Birthday Fish! You are a dear kind-hearted lady, and I appreciate all you do for Morgan. Thank you for giving to us all. Thank you for finding a way to survive and share hope. (sounds like Blink is teasing you about your age!)
I definitely am.
My friends and family usually get odd cards from me, having nothing to do with the occasion, or some ridiculous exaggerated age.
We attempt to outdo each other like the juveniles we allow each other to be.
If I am ever feeling the weight of aging, I just bust a move at the red light with the blinkettes in the car and listen to them shrill and sink down in their seats, knocks a few months off every time

That was nowhere near charlottesville.
OK, I know nothing of any of the symbolism on these drawings, and find the research of other posters very interesting. But I thought I would weigh in with my perception of the picture when I first saw it.
I saw the “root” as a large and long umbilical cord wrapping her in, as she tried to find her own peace. She was trying to find the strength, as shown in the left forearm, to chop that cord. But, instead, she was injuring herself and the cord was still strong. I thought I could see the right hand, but it was blurred out–I wondered if by an eraser or by tears. And the emblem below seemed to say “Pick” as if she had to make a choice. I assumed it was a self-portrait by the artist.
Absolutely no basis at all, just my first impression.
Happy 46th, fish. May your loved ones here and in the beyond rejoice in the compassion you share.

Too funny! I have a 13 year old daughter! I’ll try that!
Going off to work, hopefully to get my brain back to normal. When reading the second to last article I posted, words such as ALL GOD stood out to me. Like ALL Good- festival. This might lean to the music connection. I just briefly now hit a site where some are trying to interpret the code in some of the advertisements for band Tool in the 2009 concert. If anyone has time or interest check into it.

Maybe we misunderstood each other – there are certainly alchemical references in this painting, but to me they just appear to be excerpts, yet more pieces of this collage. I don’t think the general rationale of the painting is alchemical or hermetic – such a painting would look extremely structured and schematic, like a diagram. There are some examples on the wikipedia, if I am not mistaken, just look up cabbalah and alchemy.
Yes, also the early Greek alchemical texts contain references to Egyptian deities – but these are already present in the classical philosophy, for instance in Plato. This is not specific to alchemy.
But please take my conclusions with a grain of salt. My view is purely academic, and contemporary mysticism is not my field of expertize. The artist certainly didn’t think like me. S/he was just sophisticated enough to have books on the topic handy, and one might have been a Hebrew bible. The first lines of the Genesis are very well known, this is usually the first text you read in class, and also the very beginning of the book. It would make sense to start from there, and then chose another passage from later on in the book.
My field of expertize ends with the beginning of the Early Modern era, and it covers Europe and the Near East, nothing more.
To me, the painting makes the same impression as the facebook posts – using quotations from high quality sources to express feelings.

“The more I research, the more uncomfortable I become as I see the ease with which some of these beliefs could lead to an unstable person becoming even more unstable and immersed in the otherworldly not necessarily spiritually, and not in the here and now.”
Just my personal opinion – precisely. Unstable people often gravitate towards sects and the occult, which may eventually push them over the edge. Most at risk are very intelligent people, and those who are below the average. Mediocrity isn’t usually affected.
Blink,
I have been reading everyday, busy with my son’s house that caught fire and just wanted to add my 2 cents about the drawing.
I think the chunk out of the leg in drawing #14 might be a wing from a bird or fairy drawn in front of the leg. I’m not 100% sure but it looks like something drawn in front of the leg.
At 54, I also bust a move at a red light. My grandchildren love it, my kids not so much! I feel much better afterwards, LOL!
Happy Birthday Fish, I hope you have a peaceful relaxing day.
Keep doing what you all are doing, we will find justice for Morgan.
Sorry, long post coming: Regarding post #7, May 25th, by Fish, I think the point is, what did the artist have in mind when doing this particular portrait? IF it IS a portrait, WHY did the artist choose these particular details? We could interpret them literally as you say: the woman in the picture was bitten by a dog.
However, given that all three pictures (including the scrolls) are obviously symbolic, we can assume that the chunk out of the leg is a symbolic reference–but to what? This artist clearly has a strong interest in many types of symbols, and I kind of doubt there is any cohesion or overarching tradition. Nevertheless the symbols tell us about his or her interests. AND artists “tell” us things UNintentionally too, and these messages also can be interpreted–more from a psychological POV or possibly chronological or historical. I don’t think these pictures are the work of a stoned group of people, but they are IMO cliched “ramblings” nonetheless, probably by a young adult.
Regardless, they may still tell us (caring detectives) something important because IMO the single portrait strongly resembles Morgan. And why would there be a portrait of Morgan posted October 28, 2009? When was it actually made? My gut tells me that the portrait is a FOCUSED use of symbols (unlike the scrolls) to describe the subject of the drawing–a young woman, possibly Morgan.
If the artist has an unhealthy interest in dark and devouring mother goddesses, he might also perceive women to be threatening, and have rage towards them…
the longer this case goes unsolved, the more convinced i am that there is a member of VSP and/or law enforcement who may have done this to Morgan as well as the majority of unsolved missing persons / murders. this case should have been solved by VSP / UVA / FBI months ago. there is a fundamental flaw with Virginia law enforcement and the citizens of Virginia should be outraged and very angry that their taxpayer dollars are funding an organization that is supposed to protect and to serve, but the only protection and service they offer is in aiding and abetting criminals. i feel very sorry for people who have lost loved ones due to the gross incompetence of Virginia law enforcement. whoever killed Morgan has gotten away with this crime and has had freedom that the victim will never have … this is not justice.
Dear Cosmo:
I sense that you are absolutely frustrated. As am I. We all want this solved for those parents who grieve so deeply and so openly. They share their souls with us and we all need the resolution that justice will provide us.
Maybe you are right and it is a member of the law enforcement community but I have to ask is this person so valuable that his fellow officers would not turn him in, in a heartbeat?
How does one become this valuable?
There are some amazing, gifted, and talented men and women that do more than just uphold their oath of office. They live and breathe, sleep and eat these cases. Many have wives, husbands, and children. They can truly empathize with us and do.
My question is if it is an officer…what rank do you think he holds? It would have to be one pretty high up for another officer not to turn him in for a possible promotion. Jobs are scarce to comeby and if there was anyway that one could further advance, I’m just thinkin’ they would. Even if that meant “Rattin’ On” a fellow officer.
I’m also wondering if you might mean the older perp who could have and did cover for the younger one. A dad with a career in LE, or how about even a volunteer in a related field?
This I might understand because only he and his dysfuctional kin would know. Lips are obviously sealed and sealed tightly. But I am bankin’ on the younger one couldn’t keep and still can’t keep his mouth shut. Maybe he is kept in the dark basement for most of the time and only so-called, let out for a little while and always under the watchful eye of family!
But Cosmo, I am now a tax payer here in the great State of Virginia and there is no way in hell, that I would ever support any LE department who is into aiding and abetting criminals. No way, no how! I also have the right to vote and can make my voice be heard. I also know that there are bad apples in every group…teachers, doctors, lawyers, heck even religious leaders!
So, with that said, I hope that Lt. Rader and the VSP, read what you have expressed and understand that not only does it comeback to “Blamin’ the Victim”, which by the way, I truly get pissed-off at, but it can also come back to the incompetence of the Law Enforcment Community. It is just the nature of the beast, I believe. Our victims were blamed and yes, even those good men and women of the LE community and crip almighty did they work hard for us. Tears were shed by them.
On one hand, I hope you are right and it is only a matter of days, now that this has been said again. On the other, it frightens me that someone with such power would have such corruption and disregard for a young girl’s life. Such disregard for her parent, family, friends, and her brother. And still be in the Charlottesville area.
I know that he might be protecting his own but I’m thinking that now is the time BOC gives another “Appeal to You Know Who”, and that he starts cleansing a soul, his soul, and the soul of his family! It is one thing to live with doing a bad thing but “Stealing a Life”, is quite another!
There can be redemption but first one must acknowledge that it is needed to be delivered from sin.
p.s. thanks for all the birthday wishes, btw!
Liam -
(said) “With all due respect, ‘not to get drunk at that party’ and ‘not to go to that party’ is pretty much one and the same to my ears, going to a party at 20yrs old and not getting drunk is like going to a restaurant and not eating……”
Agreed, and [smirk] agreed.
I also agree here, Liam – to a degree:
“…I think there is a lot of activities and personalities that would attract Ms Harrington to AF, if it`s notoriety was known to her.”
Point taken, but it’s hard for me to believe that Morgan was aware of parties on AF and/or the people close to her age whom possibly attended them. For one, it was unseasonably cold and exceptionally rainy for a fall evening on Oct. 17 – not exactly ideal (or even half-tempting) to yuck it up on a farm that night.
For two, there is no indication I can see or that has been hinted at in the slightest that Morgan knew anyone in JB’s decidely older, Cville-centric artsy circle of post-collegiate eccentrics and grad students.
For three, let’s not forget the central conundrum of this case: It pivots on a reportedly “wobbly,” suddenly-cast-out-of-her-event-of-the-year young woman disapearing within moments of walking along a roadway bordering the concert arena she had just been in. No calls were made on her phone except to a friend (or vice-a-versa) inside the venue just before 9 p.m., when she indicated her intention to get a ride (presumably back to JMU).
As JB apparently had party plans on the homestead set for the following weekend – and, again, the non-farm-friendly weather notwithstanding – I do not think that at 9:30 on a Saturday night there was A) Anything going on at AF, B) that JB and friends or friends of JB just happened to be cruising by and decided to take a lone blonde stranger out to AF for some type of ritual…
(Maybe I’m not following this thread closely enough – but is *that* the possibility currently being hinted at/explored in regard to the trippy scroll drawing/JB & Co.?)
I still think someone/people Morgan encountered in the lot post-exit pulled alongside her as she walked along Copeley – or somewhere in the vicinity – and offered her a ride and/or place to party, and her fleeting familiarity with this person/people, coupled with the worsening outdoor conditions, compelled her to take him/them up on the offer (a costly mistake).
I also believe that the subsequent placement-spot of her body within the tree-shrouded creekbed on AF was specifically targeted for a hiding place – but not by anyone with a legitimate attachment to AF (and I would include friends of JB and previous tenants of the property in the “legit visitor” group). That’d be kind of, uh, stupid.
Lily – thanks for floating back out the brow-arching observations in a Newsplex story published a few days after Morgan’s remains were discovered:
*********
(from the article on Jan. 29)
… Up a private gravel road and through acres of Blandemar Farmland, we were escorted towards the Anchorage Farm property line. Across large pine trees is where Morgan Harrington’s remains were found on Tuesday, January 26th.
Even though signs on the gates say “Private” we’re learning that Waldemar Drive is a common spot for trespassers to go, and it’s a way to access the back of Anchorage Farm. …
***********
For me, these observations from neighbors and reporters trekking out to the site underscore a hunch that in the wee hours of the night on Oct. 18 – the darkest before the dawn, as it were – a local(s) familiar with sneaking through the treelines from the Blandemar Pond area onto the backend of the AF property did so with Morgan in-tow, honing in on that secluded, tree-obscured spot where she was eventually found months later.
Not nearly as colorful an explanation as geo-catching or wiccan rituals, but I’ve yet to be convinced of anything else.
Oh, and lastly:
Happy 25th, fish!

You prefer Occam to Bosch, understood.
Do you believe by your post that Morgan was placed in AF the EVENING of the 18th?
Or do you mean by dawn of the 28th?
OR
Are you testing me to see if I read all your post, lol.
Lol at Happy 25th to Fish, I don’t know about you, but I would not want to be 25 again for anything

She shares a birthday with my own sister, different year.

Just as an aside – does anyone notice how strange this case gets? When I first heard about Morgan going missing from a Metallica concert, I would never *ever* have thought that this would in any possible way have anything to do with my work.
Another thought that crossed my mind – it is in fact crucial to understand whether these painting were done by one person, and by whom. I don’t think there is any overall scheme in the scrolls, other than that it is eclectic. The portrait seems different. JB has a unique way of expressing herself, she basically talks in riddles – just think of the post referring to the House of Usher. If it was her who drew the portrait, there might be some deeper meaning hidden in it.
Between Blinkoncrime and duannah’s red messages,I’m immediately paying that traffic ticket ,sewing all the tags back on my pillows and giving up spitting in public.Dang that dude is so done.
AnotherB,
It would be fascinating to be able to view the entire piece together and share thoughts. The word ‘enigma’ is written in the scroll. That would suggest that it is a riddle to be soloved, but I do know what you mean in that it does not look like a formula,
a journey? yes
personal? likely
As Jung may have theorized, maybe it depicts the artists own puzzles they had seen in dreams, yet have no current comprehension of.
Here is a beautiful and very informative piece written about Alchemic labyrinths.
http://www.uusv.org/sermons/feb17_08.html
What I like most is that it may help to calm the fear many have of practices that are foreign to them. I began studying alchemy a few months back and had to stop due to other necessary studies. Practising herbology in my own life made it all the more intriguing.
The way of life is inspiring. The cleansing of ones mind and body especially and the stance that remedies should not be sold for profit, rather shared where appropriate for the good of all.
Makes one think about how more things should function in our society, especially regarding ‘medicines’.
I have no knowledge of Kabbalah zip zilch nada.

Fish! YOU don’t “look” a day older than 38!!
I don’t know if I would go as far as cosmo but it is hard to see the difference between a LE who just wants the whole case to go away and what LE has done so far. A member of the public found Morgan’s purse and cell phone, a member of the public found Morgan’s T-shirt, and a member of the public found Morgan. Yet we can’t even get a timeline for Morgan’s car, for heaven’s sake, and yet without the public, LE would not even have clear evidence of a crime. I guess the real test is whether the Harringtons are satisfied with the progress so far. If they are being jerked around as much as the members of the public who only want to help then something is seriously, seriously wrong.
I don’t see this as being a real easy case to solve. I feel the police are doing their best and I think they fear this killer will strike again. The FBI is assisting but I do think that the investigation was hampered by the fact so much time had passed before before Morgan was found. We all want the case to be solved and the perp tried and convicted and put away and/or put down. But sometimes it takes a long time. I see John Marc Karr is back in the news – do we know who ended Jon Benet Ramsay’s life…. not really…I have my ideas…I think Patsy accidentally hit her a little too hard and she may have fallen and broke her neck. But that’s just my guess.
Justice: I just joined over at Morgansquilt (it is awaiting my approval).
Has anyone else joined or submitted anything for the quilt yet?
Has Dr. Harrington responded?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FISH YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY LOVE

happy bithday fish! and crimewriter i loved the video!
B, B, B… (whom I imagine to be the G.I. Jane of editor-in-chiefs):
I hate when it’s made clear I’ve been less than clear!
In regard to *when* I think it likely MH was left in the AF/BF tree-line, I indeed meant hours before dawn on Oct. 18 (i.e., hours after she disappeared Oct. 17).
(…Do you feel differently? Just curious…)
Either the crime scene was created earlier that night in the direct vicinity of AF – perhaps even on AF at/near that exact site; or, it was elsewhere, and “holy sh*t… what do I do now?!?” translated into a beeline toward the known middle-of-nowhere-in-the-middle-of-somewhere location nearby… nestled between two sleepy farms… that felt inpenetrable and safe for our young criminal(s) and a body.
And, on the O/T tip – no, I would *not* want to be 25 again (but I did want fish to be forced to think back to the days of bubble-gum-flavored lip gloss, bangle-bracelets, and breath-taking bursts of AquaNet…) No – back then, I was sharing a shoddy Philly apartment with shoddy bill-payers,out of living off Kraft mac&cheese (mixed with cans of tuna that I split with my cat), and eeking an existence from work at a radiology news-magazine by day and slinging drinks at a bar by night… then my cat escaped from my apartment and joined a feral cat colony, I got laid off from the writing job, and my trusty, rusty VW broke down for good.
…. Nope. Don’t miss 25! (fish, how many hours are left in your birthday? It’s starting to depress me.)
Ty J2K- needed that late night chuckle. I say chuckle but I am atwmp.
Ramen noodles and grilled cheese made in a waffle iron here..
Waffle iron that had a cord with 50 electrical tape bandaids and if you did not plug it in before you turned it on it would shock you and make that “ZZZt” sound.
THEN we put it in front of our door when we had parties so people would trip on it and wake us up.
Good times, Good times.

Found Blink’s website within days of initial news report and moved from other websites which had became too “weird” (read psychic threads) for me. BOC is logical, respectful and (she says sheepishly) addictive.
Could we just step back and go another route for a moment? Route of my choice is varying degrees of conspiracy. I have carefully read most every post (I know where is my life?) and I can never get past the “friends”. Are they cleverly drawn characters ala “Mean Girls”? Or were they drinking and drugging themselves to the point that
nothing regarding Morgan that night remotely registered? Morgan talked with her Dad at 2:00. Morgan is reported missing by her Dad at 12:30 the next day from what I have read. Okay, people, that is almost 24 hours. And who tells us their version of what happened – the very people who left with their friend on Saturday and came back without her on Sunday.
DG asserts he saw her at the concert because he conveniently parked next to her and wow he even spoke with her. And oh, BTW he turns out to have links to DS and “her party”. And yes, strangely enough out of thousands of people at the concert he also happens to see her car leave without MH in it. Come on.
The phone calls, the kisses on the cheek all per her “friends”. Why would we ever believe anything the zombie and the mummy say?
Since we have pretty much nothing to go on as in precious few facts, let’s try this: The pre-party has hard drugs and MH o.d.’s early in the afternoon. Whoever “they” are surrounding her have hours to plan coverups, alibi’s, headfake’s, etc. (Like how many times are we going to discuss the purse and its location and the timing of
where, how… could be pure headfake.) And of course we conveniently have DS as the doppleganger of MH just to make it interesting. How long does it take to go to the door of JPJA and have your ticket scanned, spend 5 minutes in there and walk back out into the night? There is a huge motivation (like the rest of their lives and
their future careers) to hold to this story of “whatever” just to get through this. They must think it won’t bring Morgan back anyway but at least no one else has to suffer because they were all doing something illegal. To be clear I don’t think MH ever made it to the concert. I know rip it to shreds but it just makes more sense to me. I think this is what happened, just IMHO. And I could be so wrong.
I believe that AF was a party scene for this group for years and that is why Morgan was placed there. Blink, is it totally impossible that broken bones could have resulted from the way she was transported to that location by the people who placed her there? Sorry, Morgan. As far as stated premortem vs. postmortem injuries here is my theory: this bunch of geniuses could have just thought she was dead when they concocted their panicked strategy. She actually could have been alive but comatose, only later to succumb from resultant injuries, overdose and exposure. I hate to think that it happened this way but the “friends” have never once acted at all what would pass for normal in this tragic situation.
I think you all are incredible and we all love Morgan and could have been Morgan (as in wrong time, wrong
place) to some degree at some time in our younger lives. She was a stunningly beautiful and loving girl and this is a sad, sad statement of what can happen if we let our guard down for one brief moment and trust the wrong people. And no, I am not and would not ever for one moment blame Morgan.
However, if I am wrong and it turns out that Morgan was at JPJA then I would categorize her “friends” as accessories before the fact regarding her murder because they were the contributory reason she was stranded alone and cold and locked out in the darkness that night.
I don’t care what the argument is, first you make sure your friend is okay. If you never want to speak to them again so be it but you have to take care of them while they are with you no matter what else is going on. You get up and make an effort to find out what’s going on with them, bottom line. What if in the end we someday find out that from her “friends” point of view this all boils down to a practical joke at Morgan’s expense that went horribly wrong? You know, they were determined to teach her a lesson of some sort and it ended up
putting her in harm’s way and utterly defenseless.
Blink, I so respect what you do. You are a fierce defender of innocence lost. Morgan is fortunate to have you; you will not let her down. And neither will all the other posters here who have spent countless hours trying to find out what happened to our Morgan. My sympathies to the Harringtons and may they find peace in the fact that this life is the short one. My belief as a Christian is that eternity awaits where there will be no sorrow or pain only happiness and joy forever.
Lady Justice come swiftly for Morgan.
Regards to all and back to lurking,
Butterfly Girl
I know how hard it is to let them off the hook, butterfly girl.
Welcome to BOC, I so respect you dipping your toe in the water for real-
That said, Morgan was there.
Know that nobody is off the hook. Nobody will be off the hook.
It is a priority of investigation issue.

TY, as I will yours.

J2K’s post of May 25, 2010 at 4:54 pm is very thoroughly thought through and has helped me arrive at a potential scenario. i will try to qualify what i will offer as a potential scenario by saying i am from a small town in rural north jersey and am the son of a one-time volunteer firefighter.
i think J2K sums it up nicely by pointing out that we have a disoriented morgan outside the arena, alone and unable to re-enter. she might then be steered towards some medical attention, either due to her intoxicated state, reports of a facial cut from falling in the bathroom, both or by another means like a combination of the above.
we do know for a fact that there was a north garden squad at jpj that night. we have also been able to tie members of the ngvfc to at least one rso by address and familial relations.
i will suggest a small leap here, that ngvfc members may have been visited while on duty at jpj by some of their friends and/or family, at the event on 10/17. the visitors may or may not have been event ticket holders. a big show in a small town can draw out people that just want to be near the action.
could it be that 4 mib/bib were hanging out with their vfc buddies that night? could they have overheard something on walkie talkies and acted upon it? or otherwise, just happened upon morgan by chance and pounced? after the crime was committed, might they seek the same vfc connections in a desperate effort to cover their tracks?
a crowd of this nature would at least certainly have enough proximity to LE to know enough to stall an effective investigation. or even possibly benefit from some intangible assistance. thus, we might have the arrogance and familiarity taste some of us cannot shake.
if i can arrive at this theory, VSP most surely can as well. and i do hope they have. i can only hope that they are working towards that one piece of evidence that is “beyond a reasonable doubt” and the guarantee of justice for morgan.
Do I have dejavue or have I seen this post before?
B
not sure if it was from me if you did. redly (i think or was it red?) helped me connect ngvfc with being on site for the event and i think i posted that it piqued my interest.
i definitely didn’t include the 4 mib/bib in that post though. i’ve never discounted them, but without LE acknowledgement, i’ve never given them full consideration before. J2K and others have helped me realize they are not going away and basically the last 4 people in authentically acknowledged accounts to have been placed with morgan.
i’ve tried to read and stay on top of every post but that is no small task, so maybe it was another poster that rang this bell for ya blink.
there are just too many recurring themes in this neck of the woods for me to let this go.
What about her t-shirt and where it was placed?
It is linked to someone putting it there.
Is it not?
Could it be linked to being at Anchorage Farm at one time?
Soil, debris, etc…
Is DNA back yet? As of March 31, no.

“As JB apparently had party plans on the homestead set for the following weekend – and, again, the non-farm-friendly weather notwithstanding – I do not think that at 9:30 on a Saturday night there was A) Anything going on at AF, B) that JB and friends or friends of JB just happened to be cruising by and decided to take a lone blonde stranger out to AF for some type of ritual…
(Maybe I’m not following this thread closely enough – but is *that* the possibility currently being hinted at/explored in regard to the trippy scroll drawing/JB & Co.?)”
I don’t believe JB had anything to do with Morgan’s death. Someone she knew – possibly. The murderer had a connection to Anchorage Farm, he knew the place, and he had been there recently. Her friends should certainly be looked at.
The murderer was inclined to return to the farm in a period of high stress. Maybe this was the only place in the area he was familiar with? A place he had visited before, at parties, and he didn’t know any other parts of the North Garden country side.
It had always bothered me why he chose this specific location. Observer said that very early on, there are plenty of places in the area he could have chosen, where she would never have been found. I took his choice to mean that he was local and that he wasn’t very bright. But maybe he wasn’t from the area, didn’t want to drive too far with a body in his car, and he only happened to know this one place?
As for the scrolls, as Blink says, they may shed light on the party activities on the farm, and on the mindset of the people who visit it. We don’t know who the artist is, and we do not know the date when these pictures were made. Even if the “portrait” is Morgan, and it was made after she disappeared, it could only mean that the artist had heard about the case in the media and reflected on it.
Geo caching would just be another possibility how someone came to know Anchorage Farm – someone who is otherwise unrelated to the area.
We have to factor in that the periphery of this group was aware of what happened to Morgan. That said, did it occur FOLLOWING her recovery? Probably, and therefore why the portrait, if her, would be significant.
