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

Ragdoll – 10:44 – I was thinking the same thing when those images popped up on my screen today. It nearly took my breath away. I hope the Harrington’s aren’t offended either because I understand there is no good place for something like this to happen to your daughter. But I hope it brings some measure of peace knowing that it is a beautiful place.
Blink you wrote:

For me, this has cemented that the individual is indiginous.

Caution- graphic-
—I am thinking along those same lines-however, what I can not “see” is how on earth was Morgan there and these three people were unable to detect her. Wouldn’t the smell be unbearable- and as they seem to have been all over, throughout the day,up until dusk- I am having a hard time believing they wouldn’t have smelled something not to mention wouldn’t they have seen the vultures, that surely would have been circling at that point- Right?
Which leaves two options – Morgan was buried in a shallow grave or she was wrapped in a heavy tarp until the rain and snow freed her-
What are your thoughts on this Blink?- I would appreciate your take as I know you have researched alot of things on decomp- in the Sheddy case and in Caylee’s case as well.
Good Question Mom, but unfortunately, with a farm like that, with what we call critical slopes, and other extensive terrain “shifts” there is really no way for me to say without being on the property.
There really are so many smells on a farm of this size going on, but decomposition, by smell alone, is indistinguishable between human and animal, absent any factors to alter it.
That said, there is no mistaking that particular scent of you have ever had the displeasure, one would know it immediately.

@ Minnie Penney
what link are you referring to?
This one still works:

mag603- regarding that pic- I believe it shows an auburn haired woman kneeling down and pointing at the creek- she is wearing black bicycling pants.
Ragdoll, I am glad you got to see the pics- Don’t feel bad, I told you that she would have no problem in making her FB private- What I can’t understand- is why in the Hell would she be comfortable in having a public FB and posting so much in regards to her parties and personal info even after a murdered girl was found on her land? If it were me, I would have been paranoid that the killer as spying on me-
Also, I don’t think Blink is at fault for people running for cover, after posting the FB pages- Blink always tells LE first and I am sure they have questions for these people then they are alerted to how they found out this info- Even if Blink’s article is to “blame” it is a good thing IMO- as this girl was probably just given a dose of reality in regards to internet safety.
If Mr. Bass is like most parents, I am sure he was in the dark about his daughters page- although her big sis was her friend – I hope Mr. Bass warned his daughters about the dangers of having an open FB page.
lily, great job on the pics btw.
a couple of thoughts. first, the nov 11 ones are facebook mobile, so likely shot that day. the 10/28 ones are not, so probably earlier. 10/28 are more of art/interior/structures, while 11/11 are afield.
second, most of the pictures aren’t very good or artistic or even seem to be of something specific at all. more like documenting a visit. city slicker out of his element? just a sucky photog? not sure i would post them unless they were a novelty.
since we know bass gave names of visitor’s accessing the property, i’d bet LE does know about these, or whomever took them. i doubt anyone that knew anything about this case would keep them on there fb page if LE didn’t know either.
lastly, i find 27, 28 and 31 most creepy. is he holding his nose in 27? 28 and 31 show evergreen stands. i recall january photos of trees with foliage and the treetops/treeline in 31 just look familiar off the top of my head.
Ok it has taken me all this time & I finally was able to click in & see melon’s photos. I saw other, not these.
Recall when looking at TDBones pics. I looked so hard I saw a cross? Well I saw something else and I blew it off as looking too hard. Now look
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h102/TDBone/Case%20Photos/25-1.jpg
& yes Lily, I am going to be sick too.
I am not sure what I am looking for in that pic, Eloise?
B
Can anyone explain to me WHY Mr. Bass told reporters few people ever visited the property?Was this said this way for a reason?
Its now obvious a ton of people have been on the property in many respects…….just odd.
I really wonder if he knew how many people were in and around his property.

These are all references to Edgar Allan Poe’s “House of Usher” which contains also a poem called “The Haunted Palace”. I can’t see her posts directly, but what I can tell from the quotes is that she refers to Poe’s dark world quite a lot. So, no, I don’t believe she woke up on a grave yard… she is just trying to sound like Poe (who was also from Virginia).”
Thank you for reminding me of Poe another B!
I am thinking the melon guy was residing at AF. After reading on MS, and looking at his other photos, he looks like he has several personas. Gradually getting worse. Seems the family even said he looked liked grizzly adams. I think it has been growing or evolving.
I know we dont know when the photos were taken, but I bet my house it was accurate. I think someone got their jollies by this.
Also noted he was tagged in a HS photo with a Sholwater(sp)family member. Coincidence or Clue?, suz?
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1339002&id=779068360
I think the cats out of the bag and things are going to happen.
Also for my above post about the pics, may not be the hut, I just remember thinking, who’s shed is that?
And Thank You Blink.
Well, Bass himself mase statements to the effect that he had last been in the area where Morgan was recovered “in August” and that by October, “the hay would have been waist high” (cited here: http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/remains-found-on-virginia-farm-are-missing-virginia-tech-student-morgan-dana-harrington/19332416). Seems to me that that is in keeping with the pics having been taken in October (earliest) and then posted on the two seperate dates in October & November. It would be nice to know exactly the area that these 3 persons were walking about while snapping the pics; did they notice any strange smells etc? These were obviously snapped shortly after Morgan’s disappearance. Eerie. If they were walking in the vicinty of the farm where Morgan was found, one would think that they should have sensed something amiss given the short time period … unless Morgan was placed there later.
I would think that invite to “sleepover” is quite the find. If in fact law enforcement was made aware of it wouldn’t they have wanted a list of all participants? Once they had received said list I would imagine each of those persons would have been interviewed. After having interviewed that many people, surely word of all of this would have gotten out before now? So would you think this is a new lead in the investigation of Morgan’s death?
Just a thought…I wonder what color the camera is that took those pictures? Red?

The following is not meant to be factually or causally related to the
crime at all. I offer it as either pure trivial coincidence, or if you’re into Jung’s theory of synchronicity, possibly meaningful in the long run to this case. We report, you decide.
2 + 4 + 1 = 7
In numerology, 7 relates to the planet Neptune in astrology, and as such is symbolically related to such things as –
the ocean and water, fish, boats and ships, drugs and alcohol, photography and film, deception, something hidden or not seen, visual art and painting, theater, plays, costumes, religion and spirituality,
Psychology, psychics, those who do volunteer work.
ANCHORage Farm (boat), the BASS family (fish), Ms. Bass does photography and had a boat, Seven Mile Rd.
The huge role that photos may play in this case.
The huge role that drugs likely played in this case.
The Harringtons are very spiritual and do volunteer relief work.
There has been deliberate deception in this case.(the shirt)
Dr. Harrington’s college major was Pharmacy.
You may think of others as well ??
Strange but true, many times in murder cases there will be weird
coincidental connections between the victim and the perp, or even with the detective that solves the case.
Maybe our perp is a fisherman or has a boat as well?

Ok, I just have to ask, was JB or MelonBall on any searches for MH?
Crimewriter, I wasn’t really cross referencing what you had posted, it was just that when I saw the address of 1600 Gordon Avenue, I said in my own mind, “can’t be.” I have a few very wonderful elderly friends who at Martha Jefferson House. It’s been too long since I visited. I would hate to think that they were being subjected to someone who could be less than savory just because he/she qualified as a senior.
I think Dr. Harrington posted one time what a diverse neighborhood surrounds Gordon, Grady and 15th and other streets in the area; students, lower income, fraternities/sororities and some very large and expensive private residences. Add to the mix the retirement facility, a branch of our public library, several churches, a public elementary school and neighborhood businesses.
I also want to make a comment about the party Ms. Bass hosted on October 24th. There were a couple of comments up thread as to why it wasn’t canceled because of Morgan’s disappearance. First, I do not believe there is anything currently known leading to the conclusion that Ms. Bass knew Morgan other than by the story of her disappearance. I think those comments were made with the knowledge to come 4 months later that Morgan’s death possibly occurred on the farm, and certainly that her remains were later found in a field at the rear of the property. Unless Ms. Bass had some prior knowledge, there was no way she would have known that having that party had the potential to disturb evidence of a crime scene. Until Morgan’s remains were located, she could have been anywhere in the area to hundreds or thousands of miles away. In October, there was no certain knowledge that she had been kidnapped. Given the behavior of her friends at the Halloween party and the search, I have always believed that they weren’t convinced she was in danger. Maybe a protective armor of denial on their part that something so horrible could have happened.
I realize that this question might have been answered umpteen times previously, and I beg your patience with me for asking it again. I know Mr and Mrs Bass reported to have been in the Bahamas when Morgan disappeared.
Can someone please tell me if it has been established if *anyone* was home at AF on the evening of Oct 17?
>Blink, I was referring to any connections to horses, owners, riders, admirers, and magic, mysticism in which Mouse offered for exploration, based upon analysis/speculation of some of Gil’s journaling.<
I see that the photos were uploaded on Oct. 28, but I cannot see when they were taken. When was the Music and Art weekend? Either way, great find, great pictures, what a beautiful place so have had such a tragic occurence.
Again, another thought. Guess my mind has a chance to ramble after the school bus hits our street and before I start work. Just a very short time before Morgan was discovered, Dr. Harrington mentioned Route 29S as an area he had concern about, and if I remember correctly, there was a planned search in the general area. Is it possible there is something unknown to the general public that aroused questions or created a connection between Morgan and the area. Not meaning necessarily associated with Anchorage Farm, but in that direction. It’s just always nagged at the back of my mind, why would Route 29S be an area of interest to the family and not 64 or 250 or any of the many, many back roads in the area. Of course, could be just the thought that it was the quickest exit area from the vicinity of the arena if it was a grab and run kidnapping.
For what it’s worth: I know lots of artsy types, some whose works are incredibly dark or in others’ opinions weird…the artists are however incredibly kind, loving folks. IMO, JB is likely one of those types. I think that the party, and her friends hanging out at the farm is likely innocent fun. It is VERY interesting that there were folks there in the immediate weeks after Morgan was likely placed there. I would be quite astonished if LE hasn’t spoken to all who were there between October and January.
The pictures are beautiful and not creepy at all IMO…they show what a beautiful place AF is. So strange that Morgan was likely there when the photos were taken.
Does anyone find “YOU MUST DISAPPEAR 11:21PM” (thanks, Blink, for helping me figure out what it said) weird?
Do we even know if those pics by melon were even taken in the general vicinity of where Morgan was found? For all we know, it could have been on the other side of the property. AF is a big place!
And I assume after the geo-analysis is done by Blink and her team, there will be another article up?
Depends on what you call general vicinity. Too soon to tell on the Geo work, it is tedious.

October 24, 2009 according to the facebook screenshot at the top of the article.
Blink, regarding my ref to TDB’s pics, that one or another, I need to relook, appeared to have a structure in the photo in the woods, & I wondered if it was this hut we are now looking at.
Also, another friend on FB, , has some pics of Redhill Rd maybe and an areil (spelling)Maybe somebody wants to look also. It’s on my to do list.

And lastly, one of the sketches, Large one of girl in ? dress? Looks like someone and has a necklace on. The first sketch looks like a different girl. Maybe our redhead.
Going to work!
Wow again Blink! This article freaked me out as to how small a world it is down here in C’ville. First I see, right there in your article, a photo of my part-time-pizza-counter girl confirming she will attend the sleepover. She is such a sweet person who I only know from pizza, but I also know her sister and mother who are wonderful, down to earth people (although it has been some years since I’ve seen them). Then I click onto JB’s Facebook and I’ve got mutual friends, I keep searching and I’ve got mutual friends with both JB’s relationship guy and IB. Ahhhh! I’ll ask questions if I get the chance but I doubt they know anything. So close and yet so far. I sure LE is on top of this and a lot closer.
Has the entire property of Anchorage Farm been searched by LE? If not I’d sure like to know why.
The storm arrived in January and Mr. Bass had people that came to clear damage. It was time to find Morgan. Nature had it’s hand in this and perhaps that is what was needed. I do not think Mr. Bass had anything to do with the crime but may at a later time became aware of what was hidden on his land. When nature played it’s hand it was time. Also the October 28th upload of pictures would suggest to me that they were perhaps taken while preparing for the “sleepover” on the 24th. If the shirt was found on the farm I would think likely the shirt could have been found during the photo shoot. I think the Harrington’s are going to have some needed answers very very soon. I made my rock some time ago. I have not sent it because it is one tangible link I have to Morgan. It was made for her. Now is the time for me to send it to her. Observer I will be mailing it this week. Thank you for taking time to help others pay their respects.

It would be easy to take the photos and visit the farm to tell exactly where many of the photos were taken. The ones of the streams seems (to me at least) to be taken near where Morgan was found with the smaller stream that drains the pond flowing into the headwaters of the larger stream. Several of the trees in the photos have a distinct shape so it should be possible to to determine the location relative to Morgan.
Also the photo of the old house is interesting. What is with the two windows on the top floor and two on the bottom floor having the outside wooden shutters closed? On a beautiful fall day?
The two photos of sketches of young women sitting cross-legged caught my interest. One has blond hair and is wearing a chunky necklace.
Where are you seeing a blonde?

Morning.
To MsL: My opinion is the CUE center’s coming on board is what triggered the pinpointing of the 29S area as needing to be searched in Jan. I think they also pinpointed one or more of the area reservoirs. I don’t think LE had any clue Morgan would be discovered where she was, in fact I think Rader said as much (props to him for not trying to fudge or cover on that).
Also, someone theorized Cantelope was living at AF. Respectfully, I am nearly certain that is not the case. He had only just “friended” Jenny Bass on FB. Were I an old, true friend to Jenny or the Basses, under no circumstance would I photograph their properties and post pictures. It’s disrespectful; maybe that’s generational and these kids would, but knowing C’ville and attitudes about wealth there, I just don’t think her “true” friends would do that. I think this was a case of a dude who lucked into going to the property and posted pics as if to say “wow, look at this gorgeous place where I got to be.”
Jenny chooses an alternate, back to nature sort of lifestyle. Fine, whatevs, I’m cool with that. I daresay Morgan would’ve been, too. At the same time, Jenny’s young and self absorbed, as evidenced by callous comments on her FB. My very serious concern is the deviant, underground sort of person that lifestyle attracts–in other words, people who are hiding. Google some terms like “freedom fighter” and you will see what I mean; I know some truly believe in their cause, but some use it to hide. There are people who live year round completely OFF the radar, pay no taxes, accept overnight invitations to camp (or just squat in Nat’l Parks, even though they have no claim to them, not being taxpayers), and traverse the entire country in this manner. There is one in particular I’ve been watching who has connections to this larger community. I believe he would be a true danger to a young girl in a compromised situation. He’s obviously not the only such “freedom fighter,” but I worry about Jenny, with her means and lifestyle, attracting exactly such types to Anchorage Farm. I feel sure her mom and dad, till now possibly, have had no clue about such ramifications.
I’m with Blink: I think D&N Bass have no idea who all has been on their property and I don’t know if it was naivete, shock, or what that caused DB to say not that many people were on his land–I never suspected him of any wrongdoing at all, but that is absolutely not true.
I’m wondering…since the hay was so high by October and it appears, in the photo linked here http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1339002&id=779068360, that at least some of the hay had been cut by the time it snowed, who cut the hay on the farm and when?
Katie, I think that’s the wrong link

Blink, maybe Mr. Bass knew but like George H’s friends, coaches, etc, was in denial about what was really going on.

I still can’t see Jenny’s page. I did see the pictures of AF. That was it. And considering the amount of coverage this case has gotten regarding her homestead and such, I don’t understand her sense of wreckless abandon with her comments either. They are out there. I still think she likes the attention it has posed on her family. Maybe her comments can be considered advertising, drawing attention to her paintings or such (does she sell them?????). Who knows. If she had any respect for Morgan, the Harringtons and her own family, she’d put an end to her sense of self entitlement. It’s cruel and unwarranted, imo.
It was set to private yesterday, however I cached it before I posted it in the first place, as always.
B
Acho, I was the one who proposed melon possibly staying at AF. These pics seem awfully intimate w/ the property to be secretly taking pics. Some of the house, some further out. He has also stated in old blogs on MS of being btwn homes on several occasions. I would think she may have been being geneorous to someone while they get their s*** together.
*I think I recall on that historical writeup of AF, there was mention of some rooms with false windows. ? why, renovation? I dont have the link handy.
FYI I am not directing a finger at any Bass specifically, but its hard to remove their name from the discussion, as she led us to these findings. Whatever they end up meaning.

October 24
On this day, many Wiccans from around the world celebrate the annual Feast of the Spirits of Air. Incense is offered up to the Sylphs (who often take the form of butterflies), and rituals involving dreams and/or the powers of the mind are performed.
This day is sacred to Arianrhod, Cardea, Dione, Diti, Gula, Lilith, Maat,

Thanks for sharing your sentiments with me Lily. I was concerned it would sound offensive. I just think it’s better than the alternative…..a dumpster or Lord knows where. Indeed Lily, it is such a beautiful place. xo
as far as bass saying that not many people had access to the farm, i’d bet he’s thinking THAT AREA of the farm where morgan was found.
so, moving on, i can’t get anyone to comment on what’s with the shirt being found near a teel residence? and we have a potential teel connection to someone who practiced at sutherland?
Hold the phone. How is he connected to Sutherland?

You’re swell B!
Just reading through some other comemnts, I concur with the opinions that suggest a dark side to Jenny’s thoughts. Some writers can be ‘goth’ and ‘gloomy’, much like Edgar Allen Poe. She’s feeding off the darkness related to AF’s recent experiences. I also thing she’s spoiled and self indulgent. Nature girl is a little deceitful. I don’t believe she’s involved, but she does not think the way she looks, if that makes any sense.
I also wonder if the Bass’s knew of Jenny’s little get together’s on the property? Lord knows who’s been on that land or what kind of evil Jenny unwittingly invited to the parties. When word gets out that a party is taking place at a well established farm like AF, who wouldn’t be there?????.
What on EARTH was she thinking????? If she wasn’t communicating to her parents about her intentions of hosting potentially out of control parties, there’s no way they’d know UNLESS well intended neighbours knew and gave them the 411.
I still believe Mr. Bass had no idea he’d stumble on Morgan’s remains.
Hi Eloise, I didn’t mean to say he was secretly taking pics, just that I think people who know Jenny well wouldn’t take and post property pics in that manner. Sort of lame and uncool, if you know what I mean. Again, though, I cannot put myself in Jenny’s shoes; I am about the farthest thing from her (but I do know these “types” who live in C’ville), so I am just surmising.
Mynamehere @11:05, thank you for this information!
I really believe that these people were quite close to Morgan when the photos were taken. Three of them really stand out. First of all, as mentioned already, the photo of the guy in the field which shows the hay up to his waist. Second is photo 34. It’s very green. If you look at the satellite photos of AF, the only really green grassy areas run along the creek bed down around the Red Hill gate area following the river through the property. The areas around the homes are darker hayfield and cattle grazing areas.
And finally photo 32. Look at how dense the trees and vegetation are around the creekbed. When I look at the satellite photos running along the Hardware, there are a lot of open bank areas and nothing looks quite this covered until you start to get up towards the field where Morgan was found. Without actually being on the property it’s impossible to tell for sure but I really feel like they were very close to her resting spot.
Hold the phone. How is he connected to Sutherland?
B
might be a bit speculative blink, but there is a “teele” in rockstar mw fb freinds. i have seen other “teel” in friends of jb, i believe, have to recheck, it was late…
Oops, sorry here is the cut hay with snow pic. Just saying someone must have cut the hay between October and the December and january snows.

Blink,
Were there any bike rides scheduled on Oct.24th or Oct.25th.
deetee – you had asked if the shirt was found on Gordon. IIRC, the shirt was found at 15th and Grady. If that helps at all…
Katie — I believe Mr. Bass has said he cut hay in some fields but not all of them and, specifically, that the field where morgan was found was just being allowed to grow.
I know there are a few “wiccans” in the area. When I was in the public workforce and not a stay-at-home/work-at-home Mom, I worked with the husband of a self-proclaimed wiccan. I have a friend who currently works with an acknowledged wiccan. Nothing she keeps secret, everyone in the office knows. From what I understand, she’s a little odd, but doesn’t give the impression of being evil or sinister. I’m really not familiar with what being a wiccan entails. To follow is just one explanation of wicca and wiccans I found on the website, religioustolerance.org.
“Wicca is a recently reconstructed Neopagan religion based largely on elements of an ancient, pre-Christian Celtic religion. It is thus both a very new and a very ancient religion. A Wiccan is a follower of Wicca. They form the largest single religion within Neopaganism. These terms are well defined and have single, unambiguous meanings. However, there are many traditions within Wicca, just as there are many denominations within Christianity. Each has its own unique beliefs, practices and rituals. All share a recognition of the God and Goddess, a respect for nature. Most respect males and females equally. Their main rules of behavior are the Wiccan Rede, and the Three-fold law.
i.e. do what ever you want to, as long as it harms no one, including yourself. “This belief constantly reminds us that there are many consequences to our actions and we must consider all possible outcomes before acting. The Wiccan Rede thereby binds Wiccans to do the right thing.” 1,2
The Three-fold law states that any good that a person does to another returns to themselves, magnified three times. Any harm also returns in the same ratio. This heavily motivates Wiccans to behave ethically, and to avoid harming others.”
i guess i am reaching a bit, but mw’s wife, aw, is friends with both varieties of teel(e).
Redly @ May 25 10:05 a.m. – thank you, I didn’t realize the music and art weekend was the same as the 7 mile slumber party.
I’ve gone back and looked at the photos from the days when the forensic teams were working on the recovery scene. What stands out to me the most is that this is a wide open area. Why not have left her in any of the wooded areas. Even if she was in the high hay, the person who left her there had to know that the hay would be cut. Why go to the trouble of taking her to a remote area yet leave her in a fairly flat and open area? Unless, the person really did want the remains to be discovered… at some point…
So, again I ask: Who cut the hay?
