Morgan Harrington Murder: Anchorage Farm Could Yield Even More Clues

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:

Thank you, Dear, Dear Blink. You are stuck with me.
Lucky us then.

anotherB:
2 profiles = more of a chance that one of them will slip up.
Add that with good ol’ fashion police work from one smilin’ Lt. Rader and well, that brings us to closer and closer to one or more perps.
(get one and well, I’m thinkin’ the fat lady will sing!)
See, it really is what I have said time and again…
Relationships will begin to fail.
Time marches on and the stress will take its toll.
Yes, even with these types.
Sure, not if there was only one that needed to keep his trap shut but there are two, if not more. That will be hard for this group because I am also going to believe that one has a very simple IQ and trouble follows him where ever he goes. Hence, Semi-intelligent Perp, will get sick and tired of bailing him/them out.
Perp 1 will not have only given the middle finger to Bass and his land but he will give it to his protector. Just gonna happen.
(giving the bird is just my opinion why they chose AF)
Not for nothing, but I think that if there was more than one that participated in the murder of Morgan Harrington, we could be looking at Perp 3, being the one who bailed his kin out. That is the one that needs to cut bait, even now.
(no pun intended there)
Sorry if I confused you anotherB. At times, I even confuse myself but not gonna stop trying for her and her family.
O/T
Saramom: Happiest of all birthdays your way!
Ebeth: Lady GaGa just may need some rest and relaxation. I really do hope that she has people who love and care for her and not just who want to use her. Life is hard enough.

My vote for post of the day. * snip*
(a) less intelligent perpetrator, who was lucky and believed that she would never be found, and who was dumb enough to plant both handbag and shirt to divert suspicion
(b) intelligent perpetrator with forensic knowledge playing cat and mouse with the police, who knew that she would be found after months, when there would be no DNA to detect.
Something else must have happened, and I am wondering what on earth they may have found on that field.
But what else did they find? There was a smile on Lt. Rader’s face when someone asked him about the evidence found on the scene.
That is because there ARE 2 profiles.
*****
Eloise-
I would only add that I do not think the perp was dumb planting either the purse or the shirt.
1. It kept all searching for Morgan in a tight radius, and nowhere near AF, until she was nearly fully skeletonized. If you recall, Rader said they never looked there because they never had a reason to. In that regard, and I lament, in future prosecution phase, this move was anything but dumb.
2. The shirt finding worked to keep the search profile very close to JPJ, in fact it included only areas previously searched by LE. Why would an unsophisticated, disorganized offender keep the shirt of a murdered woman around? He would not. To this day, this does not fit for me, but at any rate, whoever person (a) was that was supposed to see it, did not know person (b) had it, and I still maintain person b may very well be a she.

I have never seen an instance where there is such an intense interest and support for solving a case and absolutely no acknowledgement of that support by law enforcement…”
*DEAR GEORGE: I GIVE YOU EXHIBIT A:
Lynn Doddenhoff, Christine’s Mom, wishes to make the following statement.
“We DO NOT have confirmation that the remains found in Snow Hill are Christine, but we remain hopeful that they will be identified as such.
When Blink and her team became involved in Christine’s case we were at a dead end.
Thanks to Blink’s efforts, public awareness was raised to a level that forced law enforcement to take a second look at her
disappearance.
Christine, my family and Blink have endured many personal attacks we never deserved.
As we await word from the medical examiners office, we ask that you please pray for our family and the entire Blink team.
Without the tenacity of their work Christine’s case would never have received the attention she deserves.
This will be the only statement I will make until official confirmation is made.
Lynn”
George:
Would at times, we like to see if all the hard work that all of us on this site do, pay off to LE?
Why, hell to the yes, we would!!!
But, there are also those times we must also have faith that Lt. Rader and his team are working diligently and with tenacity to find, apprehend, and prosecute those that committed the act of murder, against Morgan Harrington, to the fullest extent of the law.
Somehow, I personally do not need to know if any of this is paying off or that I need the acknowledgment that it is. I do think that we all would like to hear about some forward movement in her case.
For me, most of the time, it is just enough that there is Blink On Crime and that she and her team are working just as diligently and with tenacity. Christine Sheddy’s case proves this. Hopefully the Harrington Family also knows this. (I think they do, not sure on that, G)
Please George, keep voicing your opinion and views. They are necessary for Law Enforcement to ALSO hear. Maybe you are correct and LE needs to come out and say something…anything!
After all, I would like to think that not only are we Morgan’s Think Tank but also her voice that was silenced by brutal violence on October 17, 2009.
Maybe today will be the day?
I hope so G. I really hope so.
To: Saramom: Feliz cumpleanos! (Happy birthday!) Please know it was my privilege and honor to place your rock–the diamond “in the mother rock cradle” (love that illusion)–among the others.
TO: Juliemooly: Please let us know when you’ve been able to snap some additional photos of the Morgan’s ROCKS memorials for the photobucket; there are so many new and wonderful tributes there, including fish’s thoughtful guppygal. [I wish I could do this myself but my technical limitations are legion.]
TO: Fish: We can bet we know where your guppygal got her compassion, as the apple does not fall far from the tree.
ALL: I’m anxious for everyone to have an opportunity to see what Dan and Gil recently saw while visiting CV: Morgan’s memorial that continues to grow with the most amazing tributes to their shiny girl. Each time I walk by I spy something new, something tucked-in among all the other things, and am again moved by the lovingkindness of strangers bound together by love for this young woman.
RE: the profile of Morgan’s murderer: Like many readers, I have spent much time over the last almost eight months pondering what I believe to be the profile of Morgan’s murderer. For a wide variety of reasons, I’ve come to the following conclusions regarding this individual. I offer these with the predictable disclaimer that I could be completely wrong about some, most, or all of these characteristics.
I believe that Morgan’s murderer:
* is a 25-35YO white male
* is of average intelligence
* is of medium-average build; not slight
* is physically strong, but not remarkably so
* uses/abuses alcohol and (not or) illegal narcotics
* currently lives in Albemarle Co. or one of the counties immediately adjacent
* has neither background nor experience in LE or EMS
* is very familiar with AF as a visitor or vendor/service provider
* is able to appear charming when necessary
* is unable to sustain relationships with women
* has on other occasions exhibited enormous rage against women
* has not murdered before, but has committed violent offenses before
* may not yet have a documented criminal history
* believed Morgan would never be found, or would not be found for some time
* has been very lucky
* believes by this time that he will never be caught
I concur with most, but I think there are 2 involved, and I would add he has connections within le, and has tried unsuccesfully to have some sort of career in that field, or a related one. To the trained eye, someone looking to evaluate him for that work, his background will be flagged.
OR
Military training of some sort, not necessarily enlistment, could have been military academy.
He has a scanner, tuway, and imo, has a taser.
B
B: My money would be on military training in some form or fashion.
Not certain about the scanner or two-way radio but I think a stun gun (rather than taser) may be likely, as stun guns are smaller, more easily hidden, and easier to procure. [I owned a personal stun gun at one point but gave it to a friend who was in serious need of one.]
Yep.
B
Wow Blink, I am never going to get my chores done today. So many things to ponder….
Lol, I am going to take a break shortly myself, so you’ll be ok, lol
B
@ Eloise Thank you! This mus have been one of my occasional moments of brilliance, then…
@ fish No, you don’t confuse me at all. You are absolutely right, a less intelligent person who is generally trouble would soon get tired of being bossed around by the person who provided an alibi, or helped him get out of this mess.
To me it still looks either dumb or diabolic to plant evidence. There is a danger of being seen, or of leaving DNA evidence. Unless it was done by someone else who wanted to help the perpetrator, and who is completely unrelated (and maybe even female), this poses an incredible risk.
Agreed, but it is also a way to explain your DNA, should it ever be found.
ie: Of course my DNA is on the purse, I found it.
B
Wow, Blink lots of thoughts from all. So the planting also draws attention to the University as well. Someone could have a grudge against either the University or the students of the University. But why AF and not a forest to allow time? If one was familiar with AF I would imagine they are familiar with all the forest etc…in that area.
Hi
I’ve had a busy week and I am just now catching up. I hope to take some photos of the new rocks on Morgan’s bridge today (Saturday), but if not, tomorrow.
I wish I had some new information or ideas to add to the discussion about what happened to Morgan, but I don’t. I did, however, almost call my dog Morgan today (her name sounds nothing like the word Morgan). Just goes to show, like the rest of y’all, she is on my mind quite a bit, for someone I never knew. I, too, refrain from discussing her with family and friends because I want to avoid the “are you nuts for still following that case?” look I get when I discuss it.

Maybe they found something indicating a military background? That would be rather distinctive, and would narrow down the suspect pool. A specific MO, or physical evidence such as knots?
Obviously, being familiar with AF already limits the suspect pool considerably. But that must have been clear right from the moment they arrived on the scene. I still believe they must have discovered something during these three days.
@ Observer
Upon reflection, drugs are the third option besides dumb and diabolic. It could have been a person on drugs. Maybe not only narcotics. Anabolic steroids can have a similar effect.
I cannot believe we are still discussing what May have happened to Morgan Harrington, and Who her murderer May be. I left this site on April 23, 2010, moved to another state, bought a new home, and find we are no closer to finding out what happened to MH. How can this be??? The last time I read here we were always SO CLOSE to a breakthrough. Is it just me or do we just like to Talk About her, and really not care if justice is served. How can we allow so much time to go by with so very little movement on this case, and be satisfied re-hashing the same old theories. Please, somebody with some power in this matter (BLINK?),take all of the research done on this case to the the authorities and find out Why–after all this time—nothing has been done, no new info, evidence, or a POSSIBLE POI!!!!
Yikes, this is Madness—will we still be just talking about Morgan a year from now, surely someone somewhere will confront the authorities about their lack of urgency.
My greatest fear is that now we have something else to hold our interest,(JORAN)and Morgan will fall by the wayside. Then “Joran” will have added another victim to his list.
Jeez, I am in contact with VSP, and I hear you. I do not feel however, there is a lack of urgency on anyone’s part, although I am record stating I do not think this strategy is working.

“Agreed, but it is also a way to explain your DNA, should it ever be found.
ie: Of course my DNA is on the purse, I found it.”
This is exactly what I meant – if he plants and then “finds” the handbag, he implicates himself. The prudent thing would have been to keep completely quiet and do nothing. This is why I believe he is either stupid or enjoying the confrontation with LE. Or on drugs.
Or not the perp.

@ Observer June 12, 2010 at 8:27 am
I totally agree that the person is *very* familiar with AF. He knew how likely it would be that someone visited that field. It wasn’t just someone with a connection to Blandemar, unless he lives directly adjacent to this end of AF.
Saramom- Happy Belated birthday!
Observer, thank you for placing everyone’s rocks. Juliemooley, when you get the pics up could you post the link to the pics again? I seem to have lost it.. TIA
Eloise, Fish and Blink and all, thank you for your thoughts on who may have done this… very interesting, to read it again.
Hello dear friends, Hummingbird still hovering around. Now reading three BOC blogs.
Morgan, darling tree frog boy, evil Van De Sloot.
Heartbroken and sending love to Blink who has been under siege.
Hope on some level our love supports your quest B, and the Harringtons who continue to amaze and inspire me. Sigh …..
Juliemooly, I refrain from discussing Morgan with family or friends because I also want to avoid the “are you nuts from still following that case?” look when I do bring it up.
I do discusss it with complete strangers on a regular basis however ….
Had my hands full my end not posting much, but still reading and here for the long hall… J4M
@ Blink June 12, 2010 at 8:27 am
“He has a scanner, tuway, and imo, has a taser.”
There are two things regarding the dumping of the body that keep coming to my mind: light and noise. I assume LE knows the point of entry by now. We don’t. So if the perpetrator came from the Blandemar or AF side, he would have known that the residents of the adjacent buildings are not at home. Red Hill local said a while ago that they would have called the police immediately if they saw someone suspicious. After all these are not public roads. If he came through the woods, following the river, the only critical moment for him would be parking by the gates to open them. This is when he could be seen. After that he would be fairly safe until he reached the area closer to the field.
And from that point on he would have to walk, to be unobtrusive. No headlights, no car engine. He would need some of these sophisticated hunting lights Jenifer mentioned a while ago.
I emphasize again – with the wisdom of someone who was once caught playing cards with three boys at the far end of a camp side after midnight using flashlights, the first words of our teacher being “you are so stupid” – it is not a good idea to walk around with a dead body over your shoulder and a flashlight in your hand, because the light will reflect from the ground, and you will be visible for hundreds of meters doing exactly that.
Blink, I wanted to bring someone to your attention (you may have already met) I noticed sometime ago. With some of your recent comments, I took another look. Rupert Wilson Quaintance IV The Love Police (Undercover Anti-Terror Squad): Yvan eht nioj!
I can’t quite figure him out. He claims to have a photography business in Hagerstown MD, yet posts frequently on downtown mall fb site. For awhile his profile pic was a police badge with the love police undercover task force. He apparently has written for the ? examiner, interested in politics. Has a huge list of fb pages, including an interest in Culpeper police. Anyway, here are a few of his posts.
This one has a pic attatched.
http://205.209.52.72/x-51874-Charlottesville-Community-Activism-Examiner~topic864050-Charlottesville?selstate=topcat#breadcrumb
This is from craigs list, posted to downtown mall fb site.
Just wanted to share my experience on the downtown mall 2 nights ago so that other women are forewarned.
Walking with another female friend on the far end of the mall 11pm headed home from dinner. The far end of the mall just past Tea Bazaar, a white male late 30′s to late 40′s dark brown short hair, dark eyes, stocky aprx. 5’7″-5’10″ approaches me, and just jumps into conversation (he appears totally sober but sneaky). He keeps asking questions that try to direct us further up the mall, I become firm and stop walking forward, he invades my space further and has his arm crossed across his chest as if he is reaching for something small or to simply distract my attention so that he can attack… my friend and I quickly leave no incident occurred BUT I have a VERY strong feeling about that which my friend also confirms. We both got the sense that he was going to attempt abducting me in front of my friend as if he knew he had the upper hand– even though I was taller than him and quite capable of taking care of myself… no sexual energy just a power play and he likes a challenge… I would peg him as a serial killer and one who has not yet been caught so he is ballsy. I want other women to be aware of a potential danger especially considering recent events, this guy was serious and “normal” looking– could pass amongst several different social circles/types. 5/27/10
Now, he could be a great guy, but there is something that caught my eye, not quite sure what. Also, lots of connections on line w/ many of our usual crew members. He certainly has an avid interest in LE.
I hope it’s alright. I brought this over from findmorgan.com. I was touched by reading this, I think you all will be too.

Dear Mr. And Mrs. Harrington, I also continue to fall into pits of grief, but something about Morgan’s smile, which I will never forget, and the obvious energy of who she was as she looked up from her desk in our Creative Process course in McBryde 216, sends me back into action. I remember something that Morgan really loved in class one day. We were talking about love and loss as the tributaries of the creative impulse, and I told my students about Roland Joffe’s film, City of Joy, based on a true story about a doctor’s experiences in the slums of Calcutta, India. The old proverb at the end of that film made Morgan thank me after class, and tell me that her Mom would love it: Everything not given is lost.
I have kept for you a precious essay and drawing that Morgan made for one of my assignments, her Tibetan-style shrine, a way of her organizing what she valued and how she came to hold her values. I have read every word you have posted, Mrs. Harrington, and I see why it is no wonder that my student Morgan was such a dazzling writer. When the time is right, I have her work for you.
For ten years I have been part of the making of a documentary film called A Gift for the Village. Morgan saw the rough draft of this film, and she is in the film, sitting and smiling with her classmates on my living room floor, and it is dedicated to her. The film is sanctioned by The Dalai Lama, and it will premiere in this country in Roanoke’s Taubman Museum on September 23, this Fall.
I never forget about Morgan. Respectfully, Jane Lillian Vance, Morgan’s professor at Virginia Tech
My profile(s):
IMO, this guy knows if he is seen at his point of entry or on the property itself at any time of the day or night it will NOT raise any flags. He is a regular. In the two-perp theory IMO this is perp #2. Perp #2 is between 35-50 years of age and was a student and fraternity member at UVA.
Perp #1 is 18-25, first murder although not first sexual/rage assault, whose presence between 9:00-9:30 on 10/17 in the parking lots at JPJA would not raise suspicions. Could be JPJA employee, subcontract security, EMS/fire, or student athlete. Acquainted with perp #2 possibly through drug connections.
Perp#3: Not present at actual crime but privy to details as well as personal items such as camera, necklace, boots, shirt, etc. Possibly girlfriend to perp #1 or #2.
The weekend of 10/17 was a busy one at UVA. There was some kind of big baseball thing going on; it was the 2nd all-team-together practice for UVA BB under new coach; it was family (parent’s) weekend; the lacrosse team was getting ready for scrimmage at Navy; there was a wedding; there was a Metallica concert…I’m thinking perp #1 and #2 could be father/son.
To MsL, localcvillegirl, redly, observer, et al: I am so sorry this happened in your community. It’s obvious you love your town and the people in it and for that I commend you. I apologize if I have ever posted anything to offend any of you. I came on this forum as a novice and have learned a great deal about myself from reading my own posts. I honestly believe I’ve learned to think better because of you guys.
In posing scenarios in order to brainstorm it is impossible to NOT mention JPJA, UVA, Charlottesville, Albemarle, basketball players and music. Please don’t think you are under attack if someone mentions one of the above. I feel a great awe and admiration for each one of you in the way you have conducted yourselves here. I often think of how I would react if a similar situation was playing out in MY hometown. I hate to say it but I don’t think I would be as classy and awesome as you guys are.
Jeez!:
I feel your pain and frustration. I would be more than happy to never, ever put another rock on that bridge, if it meant that we could have justice served by arresting all that are responsible for murdering her.
I would even be content with never dropping her name again except that she matters to some kid. Some kid that saved her cash to buy a rock on her springbreak. Some kid that looked at a grief-stricken, scared mother, some kid that got the, pardon me, shitola scared outta her by her own mother at a search, some kid that asks everyday whether “they” were caught.
Some kid that cried for her.
But not for nothing, I really DO have to agree with you and Blink, that it is time to try a different tactic. Seems that we have exhausted so many avenues to come up empty-handed. Plus, I’m hearin’ more and more that we are becoming slightly afraid/embarrassed to voice being here for her. Our families think we have gone off the deep end, become obsessed, just like to talk about the dead girl. People do that ya know. Lived through it. So this might be why you have become frustrated. Talk is cheap.
With saying that…
May I speak for the collective group??
None of us are just content to re-hash old thoughts and theories that have lead to nowhere. But really, how do we know something hasn’t inched Lt. Rader and team just that much closer to him, to them?
We don’t.
There should have been something more though. Something said.
I don’t want this just to fade away either. You see that really doesn’t feel that great to the family. Frankly, it sucks. It is much better and a little more peace can be had if there is forward motion and preferably inside of a courtroom.
Law Enforcement knows this!
Jeez!, you and cosmo bring up great points and your demand should be answered. I really hope that a year from now we all can meet back and say that something here or anywhere else, led to an arrest. That would not only make all of us feel good but think about Morgan’s brother and family. The hole left in their collective hearts would be just a slight bit smaller. They could have peace that another girl would not be taken out to her demise.
See, you and I will go on with our lives, never needing to mention her again but somehow I want you to know that it is about this time, that the families really need to have support, love, and not to be left behind. Families of murdered victims do not want to be alone, not really. Even if they pull the curtains closed and lock you outta their lives. They are scared, hurt, grieving, and need that support and one thing I have heard over and over again,
“We never want this to happen to another young girl, ever”
Jeez!, I hope you are enjoying your new home and new state. I wish all the best for you and yours. It’s reassuring to me that many people close to us, in our times of need, were feeling just like you are now. It was because of people speaking up and out that we experienced forward motion. (((Jeez!)))
Alexandra,
Thank you so much for bringing that over. The proverb “everything not given is lost”….
Early in this case someone mentioned that the Harringtons were members of the Unity Church and that church recommends “A Course In Miracles”, (can’t verify if this is so, but it interested me) so since January 1, 2010 I’ve been doing “A Course In Miracles” and one of the most recent lessons has stated that when something is given, it is proof that it has been previously received (by the giver). You can’t give love unless you have received and accepted love; you can’t forgive unless you have received and accepted forgiveness, etc. So it makes perfect sense to me that what is not given is lost, as in: I don’t forgive you, so I have lost forgiveness.
I don’t know if this makes any sense, but it will to some. Thanks again.
Just to clarify: The above are my interpretations of what “A Course In Miracles” is stating. I’m from a small town in South Carolina. I could be (and probably am) wrong. LOL.
TO: mary, re: the last two paragraphs of your 6/12, 11:40pm post:
In this regard I feel comfortable in speaking for all locals on BOC:
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It is you, my dear, who are classy and awesome.
[Apologies in advance for the OT post/hijack below.]
TO: mary: Thank you also for mentioning a Course in Miracles. I’m familiar with it and believe it offers many wonderful lessons. If you’ve not read it, you may also find interesting Don Miguel Ruiz’s book “The Four Agreements” containing Toltec wisdom. It is perhaps the shortest, most powerful book you might ever read.
Ya know, I had that in my hand last trip to the book store. Due to my schedule it is rare I have the time to actually sit and read, but I admit I am old school and there is nothing like the pages of a hardcover. I will pick this up in my effort to force myself to reconnect to the printed page a few minutes a day.
Thanks for the recommendation.
B
Observer:
I have that book and must agree with you that it is powerful. Blink, it is small so you can tuck it away with you and just read when you can.
I bought it years back during a difficult time. It helps immensely when you feel “weighted down in the muck and mire of what life throws up your way.” (sorry, a quote I always say to my family and friends, it is not pretty, I know)
Lady O, thank you for mentioning it. I wish that we could all sit together and hash it over. I’ll pull it off the bookshelf now.
BOC = Blinkclub on Crime, meeting today in Hall D. 6 p.m.
I have a feeling that those of us who know this case, even with the little information we all have and gleened ourselves, we might just figure out what happened to Morgan that night. I just wish that we all had more information. I do understand the process though but it seems to be broken or possibly stalled. I think that we all just want her family to be able to move on and somehow see justice served.
Today, I am going to make just one person listen to me talk about finding the killers of Morgan, I will not care what they think, I will just make them listen that she was left alone, I will state that we are not obsessed and just want to be surrounded by people that feel deeply about what she went through and her parents and brother’s pain now, I will do this today for her.
Thanks mary and O for opening up yet another dialouge.
B: You won’t regret. You’ll read this book in an evening and will hopefully carry the lessons for a lifetime. It’s just that simple, eye-opening, and compelling.
Another point to consider is that the person who did this could be the object of a wrongful death civil suit. Some of the families in the Charlottesville area are very, very wealthy.
Still trying to figure out why law enforcement is not actively encouraging and thanking the public for their interest in the case, even without them getting into specifics. It seems to violate rule 1A of good law enforcement.
Maybe if we look at what’s not happening things will be clearer?
Thank you Mary

This is exactly what I had been thinking. Just a press release, saying that they are working on the case, maybe with one or two specific questions, would be sufficient. Obviously, most of the information can’t be made public, and everybody is going to understand that. But a direct statement from LE to the public would certainly help. At the moment we just have communication between LE and a few individuals. If they want help from the general public, they need to reach out.
My interpretation is that they are waiting for DNA, and that they are still busy with the investigation. They are not running out of leads.
One thing that struck me – both in the YL and MH case there was a point where the flow of information suddenly stopped. Why?
OT a bit: Thanks for the b’day wishes. Observer made my day! Course in Miracles–YES, Yes, Yes. “Truth is the knowledge that love is real.” (Mrs. H. has really reminded me of this.) Going to purchase The Four Agreements.
Thank you, Mary. Also, to Judi: Glad to know I am not crazy. You spoke out loud the thoughts that many of us are abviously having.

New Age Lawn Care–someone mentioned a day or so ago–is this in re: to RSO? (Can’t remember who, altitude headache! sorry.) Was therea Sentry Electric connection?
Sarah-
we have been all over that for some time , so I need to redact for obvious reasons, but good research. There is an entire network there.

Jeez! It is nice to hear from you. Congrats on the house and the move.
I have to admit that, I was saddened by your post.
I wish that in the time you were gone that Morgan’s murder had been solved, and that all of us here, were either talking about the upcoming murder trail, or had simply said our goodbyes, and went on with our lives… Alas, that has not happened.
I do not enjoy rehashing old info, nor do I enjoy talking about Morgan or her case. I am haunted by it.
Not too long ago, I like many, stopped posting for awhile, or would seldom post. It wasn’t until Morgan’s dad, came here to BOC, one late night, full of despair, and wondered aloud, if everyone here, and in the public, had lost interest in Morgan and bringing her murderer to justice. He lamented his daughter’s death and begged us here, not to forget.
Since that night, I have posted regularly, just to show my support of The Harrington’s. I do not always have something constructive to add, no new research or thoughts. But I am here, cheering on those that do, hoping everyday, that Morgan’s killer will be found.
As long as Blink continues to write about this case, I will continue to post, its the least I can do, for Dr. Harrington and his family.
It takes only a moment of my day to show them that I care. I tried to paint a rock, it never seemed to capture my feelings, and then my little one, would fall in love with it, and put it in our garden. I hope to make a square for the quilt, but I am just not that creative, and I am a procrastinator. But I am here often, lending my support to everyone that has contributed.
I am grateful that Sky, made a rock from all of us here, even the procrastinators or those who have no artistic ability. I know that the quilt will be beautiful, and that The Harrington’s will find solace in its beauty and warmth.
One day, I hope to read an article by Blink, entitled -Arrest Made In Morgan Harrington Case- until that day comes, I will be here, reading and posting.

Blink–Response:
” I do not think this strategy is working”!!!!!!
Are you suggesting , Blink, that making “No public statements, regarding the progress or lack thereof” by LE ,was STRATEGY!!!!
How very Sad!!!

Thank you for your well wishes and, as always, your very thoughtful response.
I do sincerely believe it is time for LE to make a STATEMENT—any statement, enough of the silent treatment. What is wrong with them!!!!
I have no problem sending VSP emails, everyday if necessary, to ask them to talk to the public. I was ready to do just that, way back, and Blink told me not to. She told me to just let them do their jobs. I took her advise. I did not email mail VSP, well, maybe 2 times, but only words of encouragment. Is it time we start asking them questions? Maybe they will change their strategy?
Is Skyler still around? I wanted to ask her, and everyone else here, if they would mind if I included pictures of their rocks for Morgan in the memory quilt. I think they would make a great addition!
No Need to post–THANK GOODNESS this is in your hands! I looked at every single picture over and over, thinking I might see Morgan’s necklace. I am so saddened that young women feel the need to objectify/degrade themselves in this way. It is unbelievable. Losing my naïveté FAST.
As I am sure you know M. Waybright’s FB is set to private, but April’s is not–April posted to Wild Mountain Laurel on 10-27-09 about M. Being drunk and saying strange things–set off my radar. I just want to help the Harrington’s if I can.
Thank you for all the hard work and research into helping “Little Tree Frog” and his family. Beyond heart-wrenching.
RE:
I would only add that I do not think the perp was dumb planting either the purse or the shirt.
1. It kept all searching for Morgan in a tight radius, and nowhere near AF, until she was nearly fully skeletonized. If you recall, Rader said they never looked there because they never had a reason to. In that regard, and I lament, in future prosecution phase, this move was anything but dumb.
2. The shirt finding worked to keep the search profile very close to JPJ, in fact it included only areas previously searched by LE. Why would an unsophisticated, disorganized offender keep the shirt of a murdered woman around? He would not. To this day, this does not fit for me, but at any rate, whoever person (a) was that was supposed to see it, did not know person (b) had it, and I still maintain person b may very well be a she.

I was thinking, do you suppose there was a whole other person or persons who were sent a message or supposed to see the shirt. I take from point #2 above that you surmise a perp was sending a message to his/her accomplice. Well why would it not be one of the perps who threatened someone else, “you don’t believe me, I’ll show you,” and displayed the shirt to make a point. Adding to that, to be in the locale away from AF, I think this also tells me she wasn’t murdered downtown either. I also dont think it would be so unlikely to keep a trophy item, especially if it isnt visually damaged, but like we have said it is a rather strange twist in this already strange case. My gut reaction from the begining was a momma, or girlfrien/wife, who found it and was worried about some attention that was coming this mans way. He didnt know she came across it and she decided to point the finger in the obvious direction of UVA students. May not have even known any thing about AF. ( is this what you mean Blink?)
The other area I wanted to bring up, was to discuss what signs Blink thinks potentially points to LE/military etc type of perp. Are we taking about b/c of the terrain, evidence at the scene, crime type, unannounced cod or what exactly? I am wondering if there are just subtle indicators that were recognized by LE, or something more specific that was left behind? I dont suppose at the late date she was found, anything like boot prints could have been present?
Justice,
I, too, have been wondering where Skyler is! I miss her posts!
I think our idea for the rock pictures on the quick is a good one.
So, I give permission for my rock to be on the quilt. What a wonderful way to honor the Harrington Family.
Whoaaa, Hold Everything!
I just read on FindMorgan where Dr. H said
Morgan NEVER made a call or texted once she left JPJ!!
Somethings wrong here!!!!
Why or how would the friends know Morgan was locked out and finding her own way home if they didn’t talk to her??
Blink, I know you revealed that there was an argument with the friends, but how do we take this leap?
Am I missing something?
———————————————————————–Dr. Harrington says,
“What Dunnah wrote is correct. Morgan frequently bought gas for others if they were driving. These kids do not have unlimited funds. I bought the tickets and parking pass but was reimbursed by all of the others.
***Morgan never made a call or texted after she left the building. Dan”
gifter, not sure why your surprised by that friend- her last text was 7:20 ish, and SS called her at 8:48PM, which supports Dr. H statement, which is known, or am I missing something?
B
Sorry B, it’s me ! :0)
It was late, and I was so distraught reading
your latest article on Kyron, and those MONSTERS
hiding in ths Boy Scout organization. That presser was so sad, listening to LE describe all the fun fishing trips Kyron planned.
Sorry I missed you on Dana’s show!
I guess I’m still reeling from finding out Morgan’s text to the guy 60 miles away was also from INSIDE JPJ. I had in my mind that Morgan had atleast tried to contact “the concert goers” to bring her D**N keys or the textee for support.
Poor Morgan was outside alone on a cold misty night, while her friends were snug as a bug enjoying the concert. There must have been a big
blow-up inside, as I can’t imagine Morgan saying she’d find her own way home, and Sarah just saying OK. We’re in another city miles from home, but have a great night! I thought there was more back and forth discussion/arguing.
I’ll NEVER get past the fact that Morgan’s car was right there in the lot OR that they drove MORGAN’S car home WITHOUT her!! I hope they had a good night’s sleep!
Suggestion for BOC
Since LE has gone silent for such a long time, how about creating a new time line starting early on the day of the concert. We could identify what information is confirmed, what is reported but not confirmed, what pieces are in place and what pieces are missing. This exercise would likely put us all on the same page and may point to where more help needs to be focused.
Would anyone care to expand the initial timetable that was outlined by LE in the early days of this tragedy to include what has been learned since?
If LE is sure Morgan was inside the arena from witness accounts (not the friends but others) then I don’t see how any of them could have been involved if we know for certain they were inside (are we sure?) As Gifter3 posted above, my main problem with the friends, believing they did nothing to Morgan physically, is that they could just leave the arena, drive either to Harrisonburg or Roanoke, go to sleep and never even call her family to say she did not return with them. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING! I really hope LE has grilled them thoroughly. They deserve it just for their stupid behavior toward a friend if for no other reason.
Hi Alexandra and all,
A while back, I actually asked Dr. H if it would be beneficial
for the general public to put some pressure on LE by
sending e-mails or calling. He said “NO, please do not do that.
I wonder if he has changed his mind?
I will always follow Dr. H’s lead, as I would never do anything he asked us not to. I do know a petition is going around about JPJ-if that helps.
Gil’s Blog from June 14th, 2010
Evil does exist and life can be savage at times. Despite that, I know love will persist and goodness continues. I hold fast to this truth as I stumble in sadness and fear, knowing my sight will acclimate to the darkness soon and I’ll learn to navigate this shadow land with ease.
I wish I could hurry the process along. I yearn for ease and a lightening of our burden. But grief has its own clock and doesn’t seem to care about my time frame at all. I believe healing could occur more readily if I got out of the way and allowed it to unfold.
My knee jerk is to meet a problem with strength, shoulder it, attack it, wrestle it, oppose it. Regrettably, there’s no dominating Death or her sister Grief. I want to be a force for good, but realize that force is impotent here. To process Morgan’s death in a healthy way I must develop a whole new survival skill set based on submission and surrender. Dan will confirm that those attributes are pretty foreign to my character.
Am being forced to change and grow and yield? I hope my pigheaded resistance will be short lived and I learn to stop throwing myself against the rock and instead flow around it. Intellectually, I understand, but my anguished heart still can’t stop screaming WHY?

sarahmom, i mentioned new age a few days ago. morgan was found 1/26 and his rso profile pic was updated with a photo dated 1/27. my guess would be he was one of the first LE spoke with. iirc, there is a recent conviction too.
i am wondering specifically if there is a sutherland, toco hill, blandemar or AF connection? and yes, sentry too. i don’t recall if that was ever established here or not.
I think you may have lost me. “new age” is not cheesy jumpsuit?
