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.

7mile

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:

    RE: Events at AF:

    * I have been to AF twice, once for a small dinner party and once for a large, outdoor “yard” (field) party with at least 100 people and live music.
    * AF has been the site of innumerable such large yard parties with live music over the last 20 yrs.
    * LE has been keenly aware of this information since very shortly after Morgan was found. ["Asked whether there was any knowledge of “field parties” on the Anchorage Farm property, Rader responded that “there were some activities on the farm, which we’re not going to speak about now.”]
    * Like the field parties, events on AF like the one mentioned in the FB post, e.g., “Seven Mile Sleepover”, were not unusual at AF.
    * Upon the recovery of Morgan’s body on AF in late January, one of the very first points of investigation by LE was focus on the residents and visitors to AF. This included questions already posed by LE regarding any events on/around the time of Morgan’s abduction and murder. ["Anchorage Farm owner David Bass told C-VILLE today that police left his property three days after Harrington's remains were found. The day after he found Harrington's remains, Bass said "I did give them the names of people who come to the farm frequently"—among them, maintenance workers, acquaintances of his daughter, and a complete list of tenants who have lived in a farm house on his property, dating back 20 years."]

    Wow, and Ugh. I really hope for the Bass’s sake that Jenny is not involved.

  3. acho says:

    I forgot the all-important (c) in my 7:13 post, which is “because what if one of them was involved?”

    B, does your theory Morgan was on AF by early a.m. of 10/18 hold steady?

    It does acho.

  5. MsL says:

    What was the date of Ms Bass’ comment “wonders what the snow will cover this time”? If Morgan’s remains were placed in the field in October, she was covered by over 2 feet of snow in December. That snow melted very slowly, then, as well discussed here, we had torrential rains and wind just shortly before she was discovered. When her body was found, it was already forecast that another major snow storm was headed our way. Actually, I think 3 storms in less than a week. The first of those 3 snows happened within 2 or 3 days of the discovery of Morgan’s remains, necessitating LE to work quickly to process the scene. If Ms. Bass wrote this particular comment during those 2 days, could be the clearest and least symbolic or mystical of all her postings.

    I’m not much of a researcher, but I did look a bit into Seven Mile after reading the article. There is a musical group named 7-Mile. Not sure how it would be classified. There’s a Seven Mile bridge in the Florida Keys. There also appears to be a community near Marion, Virginia named Seven Mile Ford and a band of the same name. The following is from the band’s website:

    “Imagine you are on a road trip.

    I-81 south, just past the town of Marion, Virginia. The sun is shining, the radio is turned up loud (real loud) and you’ve got the pedal to the metal.

    That is, until you see the flashing blue lights of a state trooper in your rearview mirror. Damn! Now you’ll never get to sound check on time.

    So close – you were almost there. What does that road sign say up ahead?

    SEVEN MILE FORD

    Hmmmm. Interesting name…
    That’s how we arrived.

    Glad you have arrived, too! WELCOME!

    CHECK BACK OFTEN!…..

    Seven Mile Ford would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to all of our fans that voted for us in the 2009 Roanoke Times Music Poll! Because of your support we were voted one of the top bands in the area and Christy was extremely honored to be named, “Best Female Singer.” We wouldn’t be able to do any of this without YOU! Thank you!”

    I believe they are a country music band.

    There also seem to be several resorts, Jamaica, Grand Caymans, etc. with Seven Mile in their names, and there is a barrier island off the Jersey Shore called Seven Mile Island.

    Sure there are more “seven miles” in the world and perhaps none have anything to do with the name Ms. Bass chose for her gathering.

    ————————————-

    Ragdoll, I agree with you. Although I don’t think it is Blink’s primary objective to send Jenny Bass through the “wringer of speculation”, the result will be just that. I actually feel sorry for the poor girl, RSOs and convicted felons I can understand, but the result of what we may see will be hard to swallow.

    Cat-

    I am on record that I do not believe Ms. Bass is in any way involved. That said, we have an actual crime scene, with verified folks with access to it, at a time that would be crucial from an evidentiary perspective, and it needs to be vetted.

    There is no doubt for me that whoever placed Morgan on that farm knew the terrain very, very well, this cements that for me.

    nice new surprise blink, but i don’t yet think it changes much for me. the party was planned before anything happened to morgan and happened after we already believe she was gone. to me that makes it not very likely anyone hiding major evidence was involved in the seven-mile sleepover.
    ——————-

    Deetee…I think this sleepover actually reveals quite a bit. With an open invitation to possibly 100 people, this shows that many people would be familiar with AF. Do you think it is possible that all 100 people would have ventured out there for the first time for a sleepover? I think that Mr. Bass’s “unusual” (sorry, no better word comes to mind at the moment) daughter inviting a mass group of friends over, and her bizarre poems and thoughts tells me that this land was not exactly sheltered from deviants. In fact, it is more likely that it is a haven for deviants, known or unknown by Mr. Bass.

    My questions to Blink would be, with 7 months having past, has LE even looked at Bass’ family – specifically this daughter? Why now as opposed to October? Could LE really process a crime scene and not have known about this in January? Seems very peculiar to me that this was not mentioned before now. Since it is out now, it would seem that it is very significant to solving Morgans case eh?

  8. MsL says:

    Before I add my additional comments after reading Dr. Harrington’s comments, I want to repeat, I have unlimited respect for the strength he and Mrs. Harrington have shown since Morgan’s disappearance and discovery. I have the same degree of respect for Yeardley Love’s mother and her sister after seeing them (on TV) at the lacrosse match on Sunday. I just do not believe, especially with regard to the recent death of Yeardley, that I would even be functioning at this point.

    Dr. Harrington’s comments could be misconstrued by those who do not know all of the facts about the 6 deaths (not counting Yeardley) that occured at UVa during this current (or is it now passed) school year. To follow is the story from Newsplex.

    “April 30, 2010

    The University of Virginia held a service Friday afternoon to remember the students who passed away during the school year.

    Each of the students’ next of kin were invited to the event. It drew more than 200 students and was open to the entire student body.

    The service also included a moment of silence in honor of Morgan Harrington, the Virginia Tech student who disappeared after a concert at the John Paul Jones Arena in October. Her body was found in January on an Albemarle County farm.

    The UVa. students remembered are:

    John Edward Jones, a second-year student at the medical school who was exploring the Nutty Putty caves outside of Salt Lake City before falling into one head-first. He was trapped more than 24 hours before he died.

    Stephanie Jean-Charles, a first-year Batten School student killed in the Haiti earthquake. She was working on her master of public policy degree and was supposed to graduate in May.

    Scott A. May, a fourth-year commerce student.

    Justin D. Key, a first-year student at the Darden School of Business. Family and friends said they believe he passed away from the swine flu or complications from it.

    Joseph L. Arwood, a fourth-year psychology major who died at the UVa Medical Center days after being found at his Sigma Phi fraternity house unconscious.

    Matthew Steven King, a graduate student killed while riding his bike when he was hit by a Charlottesville utility truck.

    This service is held each year by UVa Student Council in order to allow students to remember the lives of their passed peers.”

    Two causes of death are not reported in the article, Scotty May and Joseph Arwood. To the best of my knowledge, there is no criminal investigation or suspicion of foul play connected with either death. I do not know whether COD information has not been released for these two young men at the request of family members or the University. The other 4 were not sinister in anyway. Saying not sinister, of course, excludes Morgan and Yeardley. Yeardley, at the time of the article, was still living the life of a college student, undoubtedly looking forward to finishing her very successful lacrosse career at UVa, receiving her degree and becoming what I believe would have been a great credit to UVa.

  11. MsL says:

    I do apologize for the multiple posts. I found information on Scott May’s death from a Cavalier Daily article. To follow is an excerpt:

    “Fourth-year Commerce student Scott May died this past weekend from natural causes.

    May battled many health problems, including juvenile diabetes and kidney problems, said Rebecca Leonard, associate dean for student services.

    May was a non-traditional student, as he attended the University in his 40s after having been in the work force for many years. He earned an associate’s degree from Virginia Western Community College in Roanoke before transferring to the University’s Commerce School in fall 2008.

    “His father said the happiest years of his life were at U.Va.,” Leonard said.”

    There’s more to the article, Mr. May should be an inspiration to people my age and a bit older who maybe did not complete their education at the traditional age.

    Looks like you have gotten another rainfall. I’m sorry.

    I will say that the outing of such activities have long been searched for. I for one am a little more disturbed when you take the fb comments and associations into consideration. The sleepover alone would not be as significant to me. I think it is a wait & see situation.
    So you are friends of the family? Ugh.. that is uncomfortable.
    I am having an uncomfortable time with the rising popularity of dark, death obsessed individuals. I am used to artsy folk, but this seems to be beyond an art interest to me. JMO.

    To Observer 5/19 @7:26:

    I hear you on all points, O, however I think we have to pay attention to (a) the timing and (b) the associations (surprising IMO). As I said, I can only hope the Mr and Mrs Bass were aware and that this event was disclosed to LE as soon as Morgan was discovered.

    As I said before (and I’m sorry for the subject), I do not understand the decomp process enough to speak to this, so I’d appreciate someone with knowledge of it to address the question of whether, on a farm the size and with the topography of AF, it would be reasonable to expect camping guests to have detected something in the air.

    FWIW, I did check weather data for Oct 24, and Weather Underground says Charlottesville got 0.49″ of rain that day, but I don’t know at what time. High temp = 71, low = 54. Wind 11 mph SSW (max gusts 30 mph).

    I agree acho. I saw Blink mention on FM, link to new article, that she spoke w/ someone in the ‘know’, that it might vary depending on the wind, creek bed etc. Does anyone recall the comment read that Bass mentioned an odor on the day he found Morgan? What was that about? Should not have been an odor with bones. Unless it was from clothing or something else non-decomposable in her location. Odd. (also, was that accurate?)
    I also think it depends where they all were the entire time. Spread out, wandering, riding around on ATV’s, whatever. It really makes you wonder about when Morgan arrived on AF. Did the idea of this resting place occur due to the exposure of the property from this party, or she was coincidently already there.
    Do you know who the Soup Girl is? I have never known the names of those S. house people.

    The mention of Brazil perked my ears up. Is there a connection between JB and the young man who was in Brazil at the time of the M-M-Good rental house fire and who consequently lost his poor dog in the fire? I have no clue how all of this would fit together, but it’s just too weird to wrap my mind around right now. I’m only on my first cup of coffee. I’m looking forward to lurking everyone’s comments for the rest of the day. Deetee, what do you think?

    Thank you for your posts MsL. I had the same reaction as you to the blog entry but was not going to respond. I cannot imagine suffering her loss and it would be wrong to be critical of however she responds. You handled it perfectly by simply providing some accurate information. I think the harringtons will do tremendous good for society in their campaign — which needs no embellishment to be powerful and important.

    Couple of other things, (1) AF is almost exactly 7 miles away from c’ville proper. (2) I think this information is tremendously important to understanding the scope of the people who could have had sufficient familiarity with AF to have chosen it as the place to hide morgan and also identifying some of those people directly. I am one of the few apparently who does not find the facebook comments weird or disturbing — just artsy/back to nature and a little self-absorbed.

    I concur the 7 Mile reference is exactly that.

    i don’t think the body placers are going to be closely associated with the party because i still don’t think anyone wanted her to be found. i wouldn’t put her in a location within walking distance of a place that i knew was going to be having an outdoor sleepover with over a hundred people invited to…

    RE: Well, the interpretation of JB’s comments could symbolize many different things. A measurement of distance from a point in town, a band, a song. Who knows?…However, I believe what JB’s reference to seven-mile sleepover could be the Virginia city as MsL researched and found.
    “Seven Mile Ford is an unincorporated community located in Smyth County, Virginia, United States. It obtained its current name as a result of being a river crossing seven miles from the Royal Oak Fort in Marion, Virginia. U.S. Hwy 11 passes through the center of the community, which is approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) from Chilhowie”
    The irony that the first site I came to while researching the significance of the seven-mile reference was for a drug rehabilitation center near Galax, VA.
    The operator I spoke to advised that seven-mile was the name of the Virginia city nearest Galax, where the rehab center is located.

    I don’t post my “opinions” often – I try to just stick to general info that I find. But, a few things. First of all, if Jenny Bass doesn’t want the world to see her FB page, I’m pretty sure she is intelligent enough to change the privacy settings.

    Second of all, some of her musings, while somewhat odd, ring true to the academic-type hippie vibe I’m getting from her, weed is fun and life is all about expanding your experiences, etc., etc. She’d probably be interesting to hang out with, and she has her quirks but you would probably just say, Oh, that’s Jenny for you. Obviously I’m making some major assumptions here, but that is just my first take.

    Third, speaking of facebook privacy settings, if you go to http://www.reclaimprivacy.org/
    you can access a tool that will analyze your facebook privacy settings and make them more restrictive (if you choose).

    Finally, last, but not least, Dr. Harrington, if you see this I want you and your family know that we see that Gil is fighting for change in Charlottesville. But maybe she can take some consolation that on a larger scale, people from all over the world are reading this blog and on FM and are using the lessons learned from Morgan to try to make a difference in their locale on a very individual basis. I read many examples of that here. And my lesson learned from all of this has really been that we need to look out for others. Truly, with all the disastrous happenings that lead Morgan into the perfect storm that led to her murder, what gets me the most is not that there was someone evil enough to carry out the deed – I accepted a long time ago that there is inexplicable evil in this world on an unfortunately large scale – but that if someone had just stepped up and tried to help, her life could have been saved. Take care of each other, people.

    Now it could just be that the FBI was interested in the intersection of Red Hill Road and Route 29 South thinking that a cyclist saw something out of the ordinary why traveling the area, however I’d be curious if some of the guests at the seven-mile sleepover were avid cyclists and could travel seven miles of course to AF for a sleepover and good time. Just exploring…

    These 2 posts were side by side and it seemed to make the connection for me. Soup girl = nickname for the M-M-Good last name? Was there a girl with the same last name in the house, or was it her property, or was there only that guy with that last name?

  33. ode says:

    Suppose the shirt was found on Anchorage farm on October 24th, even perhaps poor Morgan herself was found then. Could someone have placed the shirt were it was found to direct attention away from the farm. When Mr. Bass eventually found out the truth did he let someone know he was going to “find the remains” and report it. That would have given a heads-up to someone to burn up any evidence.

    These are questions that need to be asked.

    Blink – Amazing find. Thank you.

    A few things immediately strike me as being of interest.

    These are comments from the facebook page, (from the “wall” comments), and are all made this year, 2010.

     ”Jenny Bass  is done with CRAZY roomates and is going back to the spooky palace to play the piano in peace.
    March 5 at 8:39am”

    Wonder who the roomie referenced in the comment was.

    Another comment from the wall:
    “Jenny Bass I dreamt about tattooing bats and skeletons all over my body while men turned into poisonous snakes and died. Awakening next to the graveyard again, listening to Usher, and drawing pictures to burn DAMN IT!
    February 26 at 10:15am”

    The idea of “pictures to burn damn it” brings local artist CB to mind. (But… also, this is an old concept – the idea of burning things to release their essence to accompany deceased through to the other side. I think it may be a concept from the Tibetan Book of the Dead? Have to look that up when I have more time.)

    Last, in another comment she writes:
    “Jenny Bass watched the wind mess up the flag of the U.S.A, during a soldier’s burial this morning. Ahhhh, my bedroom window…
    February 13 at 10:37am”

    So this would be a burial held in the old family cemetary contained on Anchorage Farm? Am assuming that she actually means she watched it from her bedroom window. I’ve wondered if this cemetary is still used to this day.

  37. katie says:

    I know it is said to be artsy and fashionable to talk of darkness, death and dying BUT what bothers me is the lack of respect/concern for an actual victim of a violent murder. Some of Ms Bass’ associates even goes as far as to make jokes about it and she, in turn, either ignores these comments or joins groups that seem to glamorize the dark humor.

    The reference to “Trampling”…well one has to wonder if Morgan didn’t go off, perhaps willingly, to some outdoor event and find herself a victim of some kind of trampling or body slamming incident or accident. If that were the case, then it still disturbs me that these not so young people seem to think it is humorous to joke about her death and the location where she was found.

    Whatever happened to Morgan was not funny or darkly intriguing.

  38. DMB says:

    Blink & editors – THANK YOU for bringing this information to the public! I’m glad that we have some new info to work with.

    I do not understand why VSP didn’t plea to these people after Morgan was found? Why were they specific about location, location, location and not say that there has been parties/music festivals going on at AF for years? They were specific in pleading with cyclists for info, why NOT the hippie music lovers??? I really don’t understand that at all.

    Where on the farm did these parties take place? Where they near the houses? How far away from where Morgan was?

    Just an aside: I believe this is an event around the Dada Movement of Art. It has become ever more popular of late.

    opps, here is what I was referring to in reference to DADA:
    Propagandadadue Library and reading room.

    I would be interested to know if any of her friends or acquaintances that knew about the 7 Mile sleepover tried to talk her OUT of having it.

    Yep.

    There are many questions to be asked.

    Blink:
    What makes you think she was placed there by October 18th?

    and, Redly answered my other question about 7 Mile. Same as I thought.

    Do you believe that he/they were at this party and knew enough to keep anyone away from the creekbed?
    Should I be replacing the cheese selection?

    Fish-

    Because I do not believe this was planned, I believe it was a crime of opportunity.

    Her injuries represent a disorganized offender.

    Her burial reflects a sophisticated and educated offender.

    Those 2 factors tell me nobody was taking a chance on being caught with her remains once it went South.

    Remember, Morgan’s Dad acted immediately and the news of her being missing was out by the afternoon of the 18th. Heat was already on, they would have been better off dumping her almost anywhere then there.

    There is a level of arrogance in this location I have not been able to put my finger on.

    To orangeparkgirl: If you look up the address for the North Garden house fire on the Abermale County GIS website, you’ll see where I got the M-M-Good reference. I do not know the names of the renters, nor do I remember the name of the guy I was referencing that lost his dog in the fire.

  46. Judi says:

    Has LE has this info all along or is this new info to them?

    I can only comment to say that I can confirm they have it.

    Diana H.:
    re: ”Jenny Bass is done with CRAZY roomates and is going back to the spooky palace to play the piano in peace.
    March 5 at 8:39am”

    Wonder who the roomie referenced in the comment was.

    I can interpret this as JB has/had another residence besides AF where she had a roommate and was moving out/back to AF. Where else would she reside? Would it be anywhere near where MH’s shirt was found?

    You have to remember this farm is over 700 acres, wonder where the partying took place.

  49. acho says:

    to Diana H (11:13) and everyone else who is wondering: My read on JB’s cemetary/moving/roommate posts, and it’s solely my opinion, is that JB has vacillated between living in town (there is a gorgeous old cemetary downtown and rental properties around it–a great place to live and be walking distance to Downtown Mall) and living out on the farm. Other locals? I knew several folks like this in C’ville when I was in my 20s. You want to be downtown, where the action is, but mom and dad have a free spot out in the country. It’s a tough call.

    and to DMB (11:25): I agree. Maybe LE is not comfortable reaching out to “hippie” types, but they need to be. To think LE would not be comfortable asking for help from the hippie community takes me to another era, and I don’t want to believe we’re still there. Sigh. I hope they have reasons, but here we all are, however many weeks later, reaching out and asking the questions on BOC.

    I want to stress too that I have unconventional friends whom I respect and cherish, and I do not want to judge, beyond agreeing that I see some insensitive and death-obsessed comments on that FB page that may sprout out of immaturity or discomfort with the reality of what’s been happening in the community.

    All I want is to feel sure that the Basses and LE were made aware of this and similar parties in an upfront and timely fashion, and that doors were opened for any in attendance to come forward with information without fear of repercussions for whatever else went on at the party.

    I find those FB pages mentioned by Eloise to be very disturbing. I believe one was called, “Not getting killed in a pantera t-shirt” and the other was “Not getting executed for killing someone wearing a pantera t-shirt” or something of the like. WTF is this all about? Who would create these facebook pages? And who would join or “like” them? Out of everything revealed in this BOC post and the comments that follow, this seemed the most disturbing to me.
