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:

Eloise…your Love Police guy lives in Charlottesville…family is from Culpeper…He is “an artisan / businessman living life as a human in Charlottesville, Virginia. In his column you will find all manner of activist coverage for the City of Charlottesville, as it pertains to local and national citizenry.”(quoted from his bio at The Examiner)
He is also a member of this group:

Funny how the group from the Seven Mile Sleepover is connected to this group and so is our Love Policeman.

Bev, how is the 7 mile sleepover connected to this group? TIA.

I think you may have lost me. “new age” is not cheesy jumpsuit?
B
oh, i’m the one lost blink. i never had a firm fix on whom everyone was labeling with “cheesy jumpsuit”. i guessed cheesy was emh. but now i’m wondering if it is SG? on account of a previous profile pic in l’orange?
is there connections here i am missing? does new age connect to sutherland, toco hill, blandemar, sentry or AF?
It’s not a direct link to seven mile sleepover. But I got to him via connections from 7, to propagan, downtown mall etc. Lots of overlaps. Seems that there is relation to relation as far as what we can see right now. I personally think if you are a fan of PPD2, you are lumped into a certain group. JMO.
Thanks gifter3. I haven’t sent any emails to VSP yet. I just wish something would shake them a bit. They know we’re here. They know we have been trying to help. It is very hard to just sit by and hope that they are doing everything they can to find Morgan’s murderers. So we wait, and we are waiting. I wouldn’t mind starting over again from the beginning. I know many are weary. I hope the discussion starts up again. We must keep at it, until they are exposed.
Who would have the clout with the state so that the VSP would be silenced? Who benefits?
Hi Deetee–sure don’t mean to rehash or cause unnecessary circle-going–99.9% sure, as you stated, that EMH has always been cheese/cheesy jumpsuit, etc. Still listed as working @ Pete’s, photo update 5/10/10.
Your comment about landscape connection and New Age Lawn Care–you were referring to RSO, S. Gibson, right, living and working in North Garden. I had just rechecked SO Registry, and this jumped out at me too. I have not been able to find out much info on New Age Lawn Care.
Sentry Electric, in Charlottesville, employs RSO E. Cash, who lives in Waynesboro. We may have discussed him here @ BOC due to the land connection and his last name, which, I believe, led to a discussion about the necessity of being extremely vigilant in regard to having service people in our homes. (can’t find much info on
Sentry)
I am amazed at the number of unemployed RSOs. What the heck do they do all day and night?
Can someone please provide me with the link where one of our members keeps taking pics of Morgan’s Memorial Bridge with all the rocks? I seem to not be able to find it. TIA!
Ross
Thank you for sharing the link to the JPJA petition. I have signed it, and hope others here will also sign. I hope all your efforts will not be in vain.
Alexandra,
I agree with you 100%.
TO: Justice, re: the requested link: I don’t have the link at hand but do know that juliemooly took the earlier pics of some of the “Morgan’s ROCKS” that were sent here to the post office box in CV. [I think if you search for her posts it may be one of her more recent ones.] B might be able to post the link, as well. I just remmeber it’s at some sort of “photobucket” venue.
TO: Justice: Found it (I think!):

Thank You from this ole gal from Texas for the posting of all the beautiful rocks for Morgan.Deeply grateful for the slide show.
On a lighter note tomorrow my father receives his honor of being voted a Texas Legend with a big celebration and Im so proud.
So heres to all the fathers who are legends to their own dear ones.Like mine,yours and dear Morgans.Prayers to you all for your efforts that I know mean the world to the Harringtons.God Bless,Radiogirl
thanks saramom. there is so much unearthed here, its confusing much of the time.
i just wanted to point out there has not been much discussion, to my knowledge, about sg. at least a few of us are sold on the 2 profile minimum scenario and sg might be the helper, so to speak. older, possibly a family member in ngvfc, but i just looked now and i don’t see a gibson in ngvfc. was there one recently?
i am very interested in the new age direction, as i don’t recall much along this line of discussion. i will note, as i believe has noted before, there are gibsons in certain circles of friends. at least one shifflet dates a gibson. unfortunately, i don’t have a way of knowing its the same gibson. hard to ignore.
there is also little doubt in my mind that toco hill is a nexus of dismay. my eye is on that mw fer sure. hardly a month ago a morris fled the nest and now he’s sportin’ a fitzg.
New Age strikes me as someone working off their cell phone. No website, address, business owner listed. They are on line with ph# only.

You know there are 2 dudes with the same name in the area, right?
Are we sure this is tree house dude?
B
Blink, everybody. I am so confused again. Please help me sort this out.
Morgan and Amy left Blacksburg and went to JMU in Harrisonburg to pick up Sarah and it was supposed to be Morgan Nichols. 2pm Morgan calls her Dad. They were supposed to take another car. Plans changed after 2pm. They took Morgans car instead and M. Nichols decided not to go to the concert and instead gave her ticket to her boyfriend Dan Cassagne. He drove Morgan’s car, Morgan was studying in the back seat.
Now, confused, Morgan’s Dad said no calls or textx were made once Morgan was outside. period. Okay, so How did Amy and Sarah know that Morgan would find a ride home, if she said it to them while still inside the arena. And if she intended to leave, why was she trying to get back in. I hope VSP is not as confused as I am right now.
No.1- Where did you hear Morgan N was supposed to go, and at the last minute Dan C went in her place? Source link please.
2. Dr. H has stated, and I corroborate, that Morgan sent no texts or made any calls from her phone once outside. He is making the distinction that Sarah Snead called her, as in, Morgan did not initiate the call, or any other.
Why did they lie, more than once?
from scared monkeys fb page:
Beth Holloway’s love for her daughter and the Legacy of Natalee Holloway …
With all of the stories recently in the news regarding the latest murderousexploits of Joran Van der Sloot, the little Dutch boy who was accused and was the prime suspect in the death and disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005 … there is no better time than Beth Holloway to continue her campaign to urge teenagers to be cautious.
Sadly, the Natalee Holloway story and now the Stephany Flores one shoudl be a reminder to all teens, tweens and 20 something year olds to use their heads and be very cautious of those around you. Beth Holloway spoke yesterday at the Lions Club of Alabama High School Leadership Forum in Troy, AL. Beth Holloway stated that the best way that she can honor her daughter and the legacy of Natalee Holloway is to warn individuals of the realdangers that exists … “It’s too late for Natalee, it’s too late for me, but it’s not too late for you,” she said. “The best thing I can do to honor her is bring up safety issues to people like you.”
“My daughter, Natalee, would be 23, and she had big plans out of high school like you all,” Holloway said. “What happened to my family could happen to anyone in this room. Any of you could be my child, and your parents could be me.”
Natalee, a graduate from Mountain Brook High School near Birmingham, disappeared on May 30, 2005, on the last day of her high school graduation trip to Aruba.
Holloway vividly remembers the days leading up to the trip and the final hours she spent with her daughter, including the discussions the two had regarding safety.
“She was of legal age to be in the night clubs there, (so) I reminded her to be careful,” Holloway recalled. “Before Natalee left, we discussed certain issues that I was thinking about. I reminded her to watch out and that most people were there to have a good time and relax, but some were not. On the way to the airport, we went through the checklist. We as parents want to make sure our children have what they need. I watched her silhouette disappear into the doorway, and then it was completely dark.”
Just a few days later, when Natalee was supposed to return home from the trip, Holloway received a phone call that would haunt her the rest of her life.
We all know and saw what would happen in Aruba and the lack of real commitment and corruptionby the Aruban authorities to find answers and justice for Natalee. Actually, the investigation was corrupt as Hell!The nepotism and cronyism displayed in Aruba allowed the three prime suspects last seen with Natalee Holloway to never be charged in the crime. Flash forward five years later and we are presented with Joran van der Sloot murdering yet another girl, this time in Peru.
Beth Holloway provides a word of warning to individuals of any age, take responsibility,do not have a false sense of security, no mater where you are … BE AWARE!
… Holloway said they need to be aware in all social settings of the dangers that are present.
“It’s now your responsibility to look out for yourself,” she said. “Whether traveling to the mall or out of the country, you’re the only one that can protect yourself from dangerous situations.”

While doing my morning chore of mucking the paddock I heard the whine of a logging truck coming down the road. The ubiquitious logging truck around Albemarle County. They are everywhere – often going by very early in the morning (6:00 by my house this morning) and late at night. This trucker slowed down as he past me – don’t know why – but it jogged my mind about strange men – then my mind immediately went to Morgan.
I’ve read much discussion about landscapers and other visitors to AF and the area – but I don’t remember reading about loggers. Two of my neighbors have had their property logged by someone (I have no idea who) who approached them offering to cut, haul and pay for lumber from their property. After a few days of cutting and hauling the persons doing the logging would be very familiar with the lay of the land. Just an idea – wondering what others think. . . .
Once my mind was open to loggers I began thinking of other professions which visit my property regularly in addition to the annual mulch load – we have a farrier (blacksmith) who comes every 6 weeks, an equine vet at least twice a year for shots, and tree trimmers taking out dead or felled trees occassionally. And folks picking up manure for their gardens (contacts through Craigslist).
All of these people have an idea of the layout of my property and of course my mind went to Morgan and the person who brought her to AF. Who were they? What was their connection? Are there bovine vets who visit and bring their interns with them (my equine vet has an assitant and an intern most visits to my place)? A farrier to trim hooves regularly? Just thinking . . . .
Blink, on the fb link is a Stephanie Payne, whose pic is clearly a squat looking gentelman w/ a badge. Could be stephanies relative, or not. But it was on Hatchers page, many rescue/le types on his page.
Got it, thanks for clarifying, I am slow today

One is this dude, the other, with the same name, is with NGFD.

eloise, don’t follow me! way confused here now, what a tangled web. tree house??? oi veh.
Blink, thank you for responding. I thought I remembered that M. Nichols was supposed to go to the concert but her boyfriend went instead. I will try to find a link. I said it from memory. sorry. maybe I remember wrong, since you don’t remember it, I am probably wrong. IDK. So, once outside Morgan did not make any phone calls. Sarah called her at 8:48pm after LOG played and before Metallica took stage while Morgan was still trying to re enter.
btw, no minutes from the acfr advisory board meeting in may available online yet. whats that about?
about morgan exiting jpj arena. sounding more like she was pissed at her friends and left because of it.
@ dolce June 15, 2010 at 8:30 am
The crucial question for me is whether JB was at home or not that evening. You can see the house from the road (i.e. 29). If there were no lights, the BG could have taken the main entrance to AF. This would have been a split second decision, which doesn’t exclude that the BG intended this to be an embarrassment to the owners of AF. Anyone you mention could have done it.
Things get a bit more complicated for the Blandemar side, because the BG would have to drive there first before he could see whether people were at home, which would be a considerable risk, unless we want to believe that he lives there.
If the BG came through the woods or from the Hardware river meadows, he would have to be *very, very* familiar with the terrain, if he drove all the way at night. Then we are looking at a hunter, or a forester. Or someone who tests the water quality in the Hardware.
Good morning everyone!
Does anyone know if ALL the DNA results are back?
Does anyone know if LE has made ANY progress in Morgan’s case?
Blink:
Every once is a while, people need to be told that they are doing a good job, that their performance is meeting expectations, that they are learning and progressing at their jobs.
Please then tell us how you think that Lt. Rader and Virginia State Police and every other LE department that is working on Morgan’s case are doing???
I’m curious about your personal opinion. Yes, I do understand that you are a HUGE supporter of all walks of Law Enforcement, as are most of us. They protect and serve our communities. But how can it be that nothing is said? It is eerily quiet.
We gurge and regurge a ton of information here and I’m supposing on other sites too. You also go over and over it.
Does Lt. Rader?
Does any of this matter, does it help or is it like people say, we just like to talk about the dead girl. Just as in my family’s case. Talked, talked, talked till everyone turned and turned away.
*I’m with Duke when he said we need an accurate timeline and of accurate information to date!!
Or don’t ask for the communities help. Share.
And, I think that we here in Virginia want it from our own Lt. Rader of the VSP!
We all know that LE has more information.
They asked for community help.
We are still here, waiting and wanting to help.
I’m also now believeing that Morgan Harrington, locked out of arena, after a fight with shitty friends, attempts reentry, met up with someone in her or her friends perphiery, went forcibly!, with them half thinking they would provide the ride she so desperately needed, (I know that doesn’t make a great deal of sense but would I go along if I was scared, dark, locked-out, inhiebrated, knew him slightly or from a team?) Maybe she did what he/they told her to do, then they did what they did and called someone with close ties to some department in Law Enforcement(think North Garden) and the so-called drug ring, this guy has covered for him/them in that sense, time and again. They also knew the Bass Family, through events or close friendship with daughter, Jenny. Knew this property and then dumped Morgan on his property! Probably participated in the search because he is a want-to-be-cop with a want-to-be-attitude.
Then I’ll assume that LE has gone over and over all our names that were at that search. Maybe I am wrong, wouldn’t be the first time but taser, stungun, scanner, etc., just smells of someone that hangs around LE. Maybe Observer is correct when she says not in LE.
Maybe you are correct and he/they, any of them have gone to one of the many military schools in the area. Once again, go over lists. Hell, give them to us and we will do the leg work.
There is just something about her disappearance that is not sitting right with all of us, yea, I know besides the fact she was murdered. We all dance around saying it right out.
Is there someone with close and I mean close connections to the University of Virginia and it’s teams, staff, endowers or the Virginia State Police or even the well-heeled Bass Family that is being protected?
How can this be? It sounds so stupid in this day and age. I do not want to think that but as I was at a dinner discussing Morgan Harrington, there is a good deal that people say that is just plain bullshit. A good many people here have wrong information and not even as much as we have on your site.
What the hell is going on???
They say that she was taken by someone within LE and dumped because they/she was on drugs and knew the Bass Family was out of town. They say money is covering for them. Can this just stop? This talk.
Once again, I’m coming to the point where it is just me standing up and trying to set a record straight. There is no way I can do this, people already think we/I am obsessed. That this site just keeps us/me coming back.
I speak loudly for you and am proud to do it.
I tell them to listen to you on Dana’s show. There is a wealth of information to be learned from you and your peers.
We will go silent because it becomes too difficult. People do that. They are there in the excitement of it all and then, people turn it all off, onto the next, not saying this is cold but everyone has their opinion and they may or may not be correct but talk will stop and the Harrington Family will be left standing alone with insurmountable grief, with no justice for their slain daughter!
Maybe it is just me and I should be one to just shut up and go away and never speak about this, about her. Maybe people will be happy for me to do that. I do not because of a post I wrote to Dr. Harrington. A man I never met, a man that faced a catastrophic, life altering, tragic death, a murder of his child. A man who shares death of a child and it’s effing ugly grief with two fathers in my family. A post so long ago about why people become involved, about why I became involved looking for her. Pain.
It is because I know of that “sheer pain”, of that stabbing grief, of resolution and no resolution, of carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders.
Please, if you have any pull at all and I do not know if you do, please, please, please, tell Lt. Joe Rader that the silence is killing us and not because we just want a sound bite, or that we are all nosey-Mrs. Gravitz types, just that we would like to see someone that is obviously so close in our communities put away for slaying a young girl that was so alone.
She must have been so, so scared.
I think it is time to stop pushing those thoughts away from all our minds. I’m the first to tell the Harrington Family, think good thoughts, give your nightmares to me! I’ll handle them for you. Remember a little thing called life experience for me.
You remember her with her eyes that smiled and lit up all our computer screens and tvs. But this kid suffered, this kid was alone with monsters, this kid needs someone, someone to be her voice or should it be that we all do go silent. Leave her parents to deal. Move onto the next kid abducted, raped, murdered.
Stolen from their young lives.
Tell me what to do.
Ya know I listen.
Only want what is coming to him/them.
A cell door slammin’ shut!
TURN HIM/THEM IN!!!
I want to believe that forward progress is being made, that Lt. R, is moving ahead with new information and learning what happened to her. But we have nothing. Just some photos taken at sometime on Anchorage Farm, a sleepover, and more facebook pages than we care to look at.
Why Blink, is LE so quiet? What is your gut feeling? You have that and more! And, please do not tell me it is protecting an eventual prosecution of the murderer of Morgan Harrington.
I’m so sorry for posting so long. It is not about me but I have the feeling someone needs some help. I picked up a box last night and got slapped with a reality that I do not want. I can think of another family with the same reality.
Fish, VSP is aware of my position, as are the Harrington’s. I don’t agree with the lack of information when we have a murderer or worse on the loose. I DO believe it is entangled with another investigation involving drugs.
I will also very candidly state I have not ruled out the possibility that Huguely or one of the Lax players has knowledge of what happened to Morgan, thus making this a UVA thing all over again.
There is either a military/LE component, and/or a high profile issue, that is as honest as I can be.

re: treehouse. are we confusing new age lawn care dude sg with someone that has something to do with jb’s fb friend with the yerta or whatever the tree fort thing is called?

Deetee: Exactly– New Age Lawn Care is interesting to me, as you pointed out, because of its North Garden Location and because sex offender S. Gibson lives and works in the area and his offender photo was updated the day after Miss M. was found. (All this is public info)
************
Racking my brain trying to come up with an angle we have not explored.
Did Morgan and her group run into any other folks they knew as they walked from the car to the entrance of arena? (Besides Harrisonburg crew) Was there anyone outside the night of the concert that would have “stood out” or seemed out of place, or was this the perfect atmosphere to “blend in?” Was there conversation between Morgan or her group and the ticket scanner? Once Morgan was outside, why didn’t she try to contact anyone? (I know Sarah called her) Did Morgan feel safe, or was she unable, for some reason to use her phone? Did she actually take her purse outside with her or just her phone? I know both items were supposedly found together, with the purse being in good condition. Please forgive any redundancy.
saramom, i could have sworn there was a gibson on the ngvfc member roster, but i don’t see one today. i think even blink notes that upthread and that it was a different guy – same name, but not any gibson on the roster today. am i losing it?
Looking around at the circuit court level I noticed that IJS has issues and wonder if they may be noted here:
CR-09000505-00
Abduction 18.2-47 Felony
Offense Date 02/01/09
Arrest date 02/01/09
12/02/09 Trial
12/02/09 Conviction Order CVH (judge’s initials?)
3/31/09 Pre-Sentence report
5/25/10 Pre-Sentence report
07/07/10 Sentencing
and
CR-09000626-00
Domestic Assault 18.2-57.2 Misdemeanor
Offense Date 02/01/2009
Arrest Date 08/19/2009 (After True Bill returned by Grand Jury)
12/02/2009 Trial
12/02/09 Conviction Order
3/31/2010 Pre-sentence Report
05/25/10 Continuance Order
05/25/2010 Pre-sentence Report
Subsequently there are no further conclusions noted in system, no further court appearances noted. Yet, system lists case as Active.
I have to assume that the police have looked into this person thoroughly. I want to ask if we know that he has been questioned, but know that we won’t know until we know. Anyone convicted of Abduction would be on the absolute tippety-top of the list of suspects, right?
Could JB have provided a clue when she quoted Bielby Porteus on her fb regarding a villain?
Cvillain?

Hey Diana, I have mentioned IJS frequently and noted his many continuances.
He is a snitch, and he lied on the Cvillian blog that he never went to prison.
B
Deetee: I absolutely do NOT remember a Gibson associated with North Garden Volunteer Fire (I am wrong lots of times!) I do keep tabs on Sacre, Thomas, and Whindleton–all public info.
Blink said:
“Hey Diana, I have mentioned IJS frequently and noted his many continuances.”
Hey Blink, How well I know! Your last mention about him (post 5/25 appearance) was what prompted me to start poking around! It took me a bit to realize that I needed to be looking in the circuit court recs. Doh.
Had no idea about the abduction charge though. Wow. It seems to have happened at the same time as the domestic assault. What a nitwit.
Any guy that would assault *and* actually abduct a woman is a prime candidate I think. (I’m guessing that his basic defense is: “how can you convict me of abducting MY woman?
“He is a snitch, and he lied on the Cvillian blog that he never went to prison.”
Not hard to believe at all. Will look further to find when he actually went to prison. I just discovered this cache of info on the circ. ct. site.
Do I see some missing charges. I mean… do I *not* see some charges that were there before? Hmm….
just throwing it out there…
i kind of jokingly asked where VanderSloot was, in october of 09′…because he is a serial killer…but not thinking there was ANY way he could have even been in the states…
THEN last night on NG, she has on a guest, a friend of VDS, an American who met him in Aruba i believe, and thinks VDS is the neatest thing since sliced bread, vehemently defending his character on NG…the friends home state??….

“…There is either a military/LE component, and/or a high profile issue, that is as honest as I can be.”
I still believe this issue must have become apparent from physical evidence found on the field.
My money is on a military connection (it is completely speculative, though). Army training leaves traces – I know various people who were brainwashed to a degree that they still, after years, fold their shirts in a specific way before they put them in the wardrobe. And they sometimes fall back into specific behavioural patterns when they have to carry out a task that they associate with the army.
They were also trained to cross terrain – property boundaries didn’t matter – collect or deposit something, and return, also at night. There is nothing such as trespassing in the army, they are trained to be deployed in a war zone. They have to carry out a task, without being seen (or shot), that is all.
Slowroller, strange I had the same fleeting thought!
Morgan went to a Grateful Dead concert at JPJ Arena in april 2009. Can anyone see her Facebook — does it say anything about who went? What they did after the concert?
I have always been perplexed by the fact that Morgan did not call anyone when she was outside with no way back in. That somehow doesn’t make sense to me. So I wondered if she didn’t call anyone because she had a plan (vague perhaps) that included doing something she had done before – in April. If the Dead concert was a success, it would not be unusual to repeat some of those actions.
Anyone?

Gil Harrington’s thoughts from June 14th, 2010O
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?

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?

Joran’s friend is Adam Boyd. He is military.

Slowroller,…I also saw the interview on NG with the Virginia friend of Joran’s…The guy is either looking for his 5 minutes of fame, or is a complete moron…or both. He stated that Joran called him to wish him a “Happy Birthday”, and to remember how important family and friends are…THEN ASKED HIM TO SEND HIM SOME MONEY!!!!!!!!! Please, do we have any reason NOT to put Joran in a cell??? (BTW, NG told the “friend” to expect a SUBPOENA in the not too distant future…lol)
Lovely,…very scary post regarding your concert experience, and VERY IMPORTANT AND HELPFUL info regarding the “Password” for parents to give their children at any time in their lives for their protection. Thank you for that post!

New Blog from Gil for June 16th, 2010
——————————————————————————–
All 3 of us are struggling. We know Morgan is dead as we have peered into her empty eye sockets and felt the rough dry edges of her ribs. Despite those stark memories, little wisps of fantasy or denial persist. A tiny part of me feels as if the last 8! months have been a giant farce, a macabre game of hide and seek. This can’t be real. If I count to ten on base and say “All in come free, free, free” Morgan will materialize from some ingenious hiding place and life will go back to normal.
I know that won’t happen though, can’t happen. There is no going back. But I’m not loving the new normal. It’s too hard, so II don’t really want to move forward. I’m just stuck. What to do? I hope that time works its magic and things sort themselves out somehow. I pray for the peace to accept the unfathomable reality that someone could actually kill our Morgan.
Wish it was me.

I am so unbelievably saddened to see that, but I understand it.
Some days it seems like there is enough enough room in the Universe for all this pain.

Blink, of course, I should say thank you for your response and I do from deep down in my heart.
But, I must say that I am gonna have to sit and think a while. I have a feeling that your five sentences say so much. I just do not know what to make of them and where to go.
No one wants Charlottesville and it’s surrounding communities safe, more than me. This is an absolutely beautiful part of the country and I do understand that “bad things happen to good people” all the time but I also understand that “good things happen to bad people” too. As in, justice being served to those that commit henious crimes.
I think that in my case, the reason for wanting this is in direct relation to not having closure in my family’s case. My sense of sanity and therapy tells me this. At times, it can be hard to follow me but see I spend the vast majority of my days thinking about what could have been. If only we/I had done something differently. We were the ones that coulda, shoulda, woulda, so this is why I so vehemently want the Harrington’s to have closure by means of justice.
They will live with a missing piece for the rest of their lives. Pictures of her will not be enough. Tears, rage, anger, saddness will creep into their daily existence. It will not be stopped. Yes, there will be days of joy, hopefully they will experience those days, adventures, successes with their son, Alex. They will also have the happy memories of Morgan. I saw those pictures on the bridge when she was a little girl. As a mother, they stop you in your tracks. Was Morgan stopped there in her tracks? I wonder.
That family seems like they will forge on serving their community and beyond.
Dr. Harrington, a man who took the “Hippcratic Oath” as a physician. There is a version within that oath that states,
“I will keep them from harm and injustice”.
Well, what about his daughter?
His wife Gil, a nurse who serves her community and one who gives back all the way to Africa!
Well, what about her daughter?
Joy will not escape them but it will always be tempered that she is gone. And, forgive me, but it is a load of bullshit when people say she is still with us all. NO, they are not.
Yes, have religion, spirituality, or whatever you want…they are still missing from our lives. This is why Lt. Rader needs to be strong and forgive me again friends, but strong with balls of steel! He must rise up with the help from everyone that surrounds him and know deep, deep down that this family, just as the ones before and unfortunately, the ones after, will need his steely demeanor.
It is just the way it is. We all need to count on someone.
And, although I cannot begin to understand the behind-the-scenes case information, I just want everyone to know that we all must support him and the work they all do.
If it means that a few will suffer because their family member will be punished for drugs, crimes, and yes, a murder. Then so be it.
I wish that someone would take that “couragous leap” and turn him in. Start the process that would help to heal a family, and start a process that would help heal their own family.
Whether they want to believe it or not…their family is also broken!
It is even at this point, that I wonder if I could sit across from him/them and say, “I forgive”. I know that I would never be able to 100% do that unless there was some sort of remorse, penance for their crime. I pay close attention to those victim’s family members, those moms and dads that sit across from someone who took the life breath out of their own children and say they forgive. How is this done? How do they come to this point? Is it because the criminal justice system worked? Maybe so. Then again, it is also in partnership that the family was able to work through their own personal stages of grief and acceptance.
I’m not a therapist but I think that Mrs. Harrington’s writings might just mean that she needs this to move on, to accept. She is asking for her “sight to acclimate to the darkness”, she should not.
She is asking “to hurry the process along”, she should be able to. Not just grief but “due process”. They should be held accountable within the guidelines of our laws for the death of Morgan Harrington. It is what is right and just. Logical and reseasonable.
*Thank you B, for listening, answering when you can, and providing us a forum for not just Morgan, but for all those victims you represent. It is not easy and nor do I ever believe it is for you, a mom.
To Dr. and Mrs. Harrington:
Hold fast and be strong.
We are here for you.

To friend, SlowrollerDad:
That boy, John Ludwick! Nancy Grace, Special Guest…
Needs a can of “Jersey Whipass!”
What is wrong with him? Frontal-lobe problems to the max!
Maybe he needs to buy a dictionary and look up the term,
“Accessory After the Fact”.
I just thought I would mention that Dr H said yesterday on FM that Sarah was the driver to UVA and Dan the driver on the way home. I never understood it this way, I thought it was Dan the whole time. I would copy, but they have the big disclaimer over there now and donot want an issue. I am the only one that was confused on this? Just curious.
toco hill rso has a new pic on the registry. photo taken 6/9/2010. doesn’t seem to be working anymore either.
i’m not exactly sure what we can gather from the new pic. it seems different offences and codes have different registration requirements. anyone have insight here?
