    Very nicely said MOM3.
    I am of the opinion, that if some don’t care for the articles pertaining to Morgan, they should read something else instead of it aggravating them. Like The Hook stuff in particular.

    hing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all”. ( All Mom’s)

    re; Sketch

    I admit this sounds unlikely ~ however, in this case, this is what I believe;

    I believe the perp(s) planted DNA belonging to Sketch and that Sketch was not directly involved. Also, although it is more likely the perp(s) was familiar with Sketch’s past crime(s), I believe there is a possibility the perp(s) did not select Sketch because he was aware of his past and just got lucky.

    We don’t know if the DNA was recovered at AF or from the t-shirt. If planted and recovered at AF, I would think the DNA was planted very close to, if not on, the date Morgan’s body was placed. And, if DNA was planted and recovered from the t-shirt, I have seen both November 5th and November 11th reported as the date the t-shirt was found.

    So…. based on the above, if DNA was planted, the perp(s) would have had contact with Sketch sometime between October 17th (or shortly before) and November 11th (or the date the t-shirt was found if different than November 11th).

    This would mean that Sketch had to be in the Charlottesville area sometime between October 17th (or shortly before) and November 11th (or the date the t-shirt was found if other than November 11th),

    OR,

    Sketch had to be somewhere where the perp(s) was sometime in that period of time.

    IF, the DNA was NOT planted and Sketch WAS involved, I would say Sketch acted alone ~~~ the timeframe would still be the same in that Sketch would have been in the Charlottesville area between October 17th (or shortly before) and November 11th (or another date, depending on when the t-shirt was planted).

    I know not everyone thinks that the t-shirt was planted however my personal belief is that the t-shirt was planted to be found.

  3. justiceformorgan says:

    P.S.

    Neglected to add ~ if Sketch was involved, and was the only perp, he would have been in the Charlottesville area on October 17th (obviously) and possibly shortly before, as well as on the date the t-shirt was found but not necessarily on any of the days in between.

    If DNA was found at AF and NOT on the t-shirt (regardless of whether Sketch was the only perp or his DNA was planted), I would think the period of time in which Sketch was in the Charlottesville area, or came in contact with the perp(s), could be narrowed down considerably.

  4. justiceformorgan says:

    So, does anyone have any ideas on why Sketch would be in the area during the above period of time, OR, where the perp(s) was that brought him in contact with Sketch during the same time period?

    Y’all,

    I was doing some genealogy the other day and came across this little gem. From the Macon (GA) Telegraph and Messenger, March 13, 1874

    “A dispatch to the Atlanta Constitution states that in the town of Troy, Ala, a man named Douglas, a traveling singing master, who had recently arrived there, administered chloroform to a young girl and then attempted to violate her person. Douglas was arrested and jailed. The crowd took him out at night and after a severe whipping, castrated him.”

    Guess this guy went from bass to tenor overnight.

  7. justiceformorgan says:

    I’ll start;

    ~ possible event brought Sketch to the area ~ Metallica concert being the first event that comes to mind; was Sketch possibly working at the event in some capacity?

    ~ if Sketch’s DNA was planted by the perp(s), did perp(s) come into contact with Sketch because perp(s) makes frequent trips to another area, either for work or pleasure, that put him in contact with Sketch; is Sketch a bouncer at a club perhaps ~ he appeas to have the physical built for that job and I would think our perp(s), if the perp isn’t Sketch, would be “clubbing” or “bar hopping” age.

    ~ were there any sporting events the perp(s) could have travelled to attend, or watched from a sports bar, where Sketch was employed?

  8. Observer says:

    Over the past nine months we have each been drawn to this and other sites devoted to Morgan for reasons as varied as the stars in the sky. We read, we share, we contribute, and we commiserate based upon the filters and life experiences we bring to the forum. We uphold and we uplift. we are unfailing in our support for the Harringtons, and we are bound by a love for a young woman we will never meet.

    The bottom line (for me at least) is this: Morgan’s BG is not taking the day off. He’s lying in wait, circling his prey, ready to pounce like the cunning predator that he is. He has done this before and he’s waiting for the right moment to ply his evil trade yet again, given just the right set of circumstances.

    As long as he’s still at-large, I am not taking the day off either.

    I can wait as long as it takes. “It” in this case is justice. [I'm generally not a person of great patience, but in this instance I've found a new, previously-untapped reserve. That reserve has Morgan's name on it.]

    I will wait quietly and patiently with Dan, Gil and Alex, firm in the knowledge that as each day day dawns, it brings us one day closer to justice–and final peace–for sweet, shiny Morgan.

    Until that day dawns, we will not rest.

    Dan, Gil and Alex: Rest assured that we will not leave your side.

    Coincidentally, today I went for a walk in a park, and I saw a kid’s shirt spread out on a bush. So it does happen… someone would pick it up and display it, so that the owner might find it.

  12. Eloise says:

    I am sorry to post again, but you made me laugh so much. I looked up and there you are asking if I am seeing things? Sorta, more like not seeing. Ok, is it on my end?

  13. Judi says:

    I’m going to follow justiceformorgan’s line of thinking here. What brings Sketch to Charlottesville? What about to Fairfax?

    One of my many possibilities? Hunting…

    Taken from below article about out-of-season permits: “Charlottesville and Fairfax both of which have significant urban deer management issues”

    http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/news/release.asp?id=193

  14. J.me says:

    From the Forgotten Victims Program:
    Written by a girl named Kendra (5), whom Morgan had worked with in the
    Forgotten Victims Program.. “Dear Miss Morgan, I am sorry somebody mean hurt you and made you die. I miss you too much and my heart hurts a lot. I am sad most of the time, but is it okay if I’m happy that you taught me to braid my hair? Love, your little one, Kendra.”

    And then the kids when talking about Morgan and what they would miss and remember: her hugs (Morgan was usually late to group–a teenage
    thing–but whenever she came, we just stopped group until every child
    got a hug), her smile, her drawings, her twinkling eyes, “she told me Iwas smart”, she smelled pretty, she made the boys leave me alone, she
    would hold my hand, she combed my hair and let me sit in her lap when I was tired, she let me wear her lip gloss, and I liked to be on her team to play games because she told me “good job”.

    Ok, the “let me wear her lip gloss” broke my heart.
    Dear Morgan, you will always be shiny, like your lip gloss, sweet girl.

    J.me: Oh my, we needed that! I so hope the Harringtons see this. Observer … beautifully said … I’m on your train!

  16. justiceformorgan says:

    Thank you for sharing that J.me.

  17. justiceformorgan says:

    Interesting Judi. I agree ~ there could definitely be a connection. I would think Mr. Bass definitely identified the hunters that were on his property with his permission, however, that wouldn’t include hunters that may have been on his property without his knowledge.

    At the risk of sounding like I’m digging my heels in with respect to this theory ~ which really isn’t the case ~ it just happens to be my theory du jour and subject to change :) I’m still thinking about the possible planted DNA theory.

    If the DNA was planted and the perp(s) selected Sketch, I would say that is one of their first REALLY BIG mistakes. From what I’ve been able to research online, less than 20% of the population of Virginia is black and there is a much smaller percentage of mixed races. If Sketch was in the area of North Garden, or Charlottesville for that matter, on October 17th (or after October 17th), I would think he would have been identified by now.

    If Sketch hasn’t been identified as being in the Charlottesville area in the time period between October 17th and November 11th, I’d say there is a good chance the perp(s) came into contact with Sketch outside of Charlottesville.

    If LE has a list of possible POI’s, I would think they could easily find out if any of them went out of town sometime between October 17th and November 11th. If any of them did, I’m sure LE could easily find out where they went and what they did while they were there. Retrace their steps and LE would probably bump right into Sketch without even trying.

  18. justiceformorgan says:

    p.s. oh, if only it were that easy :) It just may be though…

  19. justiceformorgan says:

    Beautifully said Observer.

  20. Eloise says:

    I wonder what the chance the DNA was planted by someone who has access to lab material/blood/specimens? You know, maybe someone who works in a lab?

  21. justiceformorgan says:

    anotherB said;

    “Coincidentally, today I went for a walk in a park, and I saw a kid’s shirt spread out on a bush. So it does happen… someone would pick it up and display it, so that the owner might find it.”

    I agree anotherB, however in this case, news about the t-shirt being found was so widely publicized that I would think, if the t-shirt were found and spread out on the bush so the owner would find it, either the owner of the shirt, or the person who found it and displayed it on the bush would have come forward to LE.

    I guess it’s possible one of them did. I can’t see LE providing information regarding the shirt to the public weeks, if not months, later though if that were the case.

  22. justiceformorgan says:

    jmo, but I think the freak who planted the t-shirt, planted it WHERE he did in order to torment someone else who was involved. Also, to begin paving the way for suspicion to be directed away from himself and onto that person (the tormented one).

    I believe there is more than one person involved and, although I could be wrong, I think the one who planted the shirt is the bully. I think “the tormented one” is the person with the kind of, sort of connection to the area where the shirt was found.

    It’s the “tormented one” who will take the fall. That’s obvious just from seeing where the t-shirt was planted ~ the bully started taking steps to set him up way back in November ~ either by placing the shirt there or convincing the person with the connection to the area that was where the t-shirt should be planted.

  23. fish says:

    mary: good point.
    It was and is exactly my point.

    What if it were my daughter?
    What if it were your daughter?

    Would you be there for me?
    Yes, I think that you and many others would. I’m teaching my own daughter to be there for all of us and most importanly, her friends.

    I believe we all relate because we are mothers and yes, even fathers on this forum. We support AND learn from each other. We all hit it from different points of view and different life experiences.
    That’s what makes us a great group.

    Some of us say tomato and some tamato. But, in the end, we are all saying the same thing.

    Justice for the ENTIRE Harrington Family!

    And Liam, I apologize if I upset you. I really did not mean too. For sure!
    I don’t expect everyone to like me and that’s ok.
    There are days I don’t even like myself but I try for this family.

    To continue a fight that ended for someone very dear to them.

    I know exactly what it is to lose someone and then to turn around and see nobody standing behind you. I swore that I would never let that happen if I ever had the chance to help someone else out. Then came October 17, 2009 and a young girl named Morgan. No, I didn’t want her family to feel the same.
    It is a very lonely feeling. It is depressing and hurts.
    Spiritually, physically, mentally.
    It is a feeling I wish on no survivor.

    So, if I could say a few things to you is sure, don’t be their punching bag but buck up, take on the chin, kill them with kindness, and try to understand their point of view. Even if you do not agree with it or me. We are all only human. Make mistakes and really, in the end, want all just want someone to have our back.

    For what it’s worth, I think that I just might be able to have each and every one of your backs on this site. That might be stupid, it might be crazy and it just might be a little of both. But, I think I could do it. It’s also just that this crazy way of talking to each other through posting is hard to understand all of us, all the time.

    Redly, I do get your point. I don’t know what else could have been said. I’m still perplexed. Maybe nothing by UVA. It was all just to vague for me. Me, personally.

    I understand that yes, my words of “cut loose” might imply that I believe they lost scholarships and whatever else you stated but I just meant they were no longer on the team for whatever reason and however it came to be. Coach Bennett had even said that it was his decision and not UVA’s. Which, I find confusing once again, for me. If you could shed some light on it, I would be willing to listen. To learn from you what he might have meant. I’m sure it is complicated, no doubt.

    Why couldn’t he offer a little more help to them? Was it the end of the line for him, as a coach. Had he already offered so much that his cup runneth over when the players did not come forward that they had interacted with her? How would we really know? They really said so little.

    Or is this what you mean.

    It was just time for those to move on and nothing was in the back of this coach’s mind when he let them step down or dismissed them for bad grades? It was just a coincidence it was around the same time period, she goes missing from the UVA campus. I think I was fair to the players in my post. I really want somebody to have their back. But, what I want more is for the Harrington’s to have their questions, answered. See, they will never find the complete closure we all think they will.
    Which, leads me too…

    Debbie, I said it a while back. I would love nothing more than to never let her name drop from my lips, if it meant that the Harrington Family found their daughter’s murderer. (Well, I might just take that back. Morgan has a legacy and it is up to her parents to tell us what they want)
    But, there is something about a family or a victim that will never, ever fully rest in peace.
    It is violent, stabbing, drowning, crashing horror.
    You learn to live and to deal.
    But, what helps is if you can help support them, ESPECIALLY, an unnatural death.
    Debbie, to this day, if you take me to a Perkin’s, I can upchuck right then and there. See, it brings back a really terrible memory for me. No resting in peace.
    Just be there for Dr. and Mrs. Harrington, however you can. If you can’t just turn it off, wait until you can, but please, watch out for yourself and yes, even for another.

    Another’s daughter. My daughter.
    I’ll do the same. My promise to you.
    As a mom. I need you.

    Blink: She’s been at a search, through the holidays, spreak breaks, bdays, vacays, placed a rock, well shell. Takes her with us every step of the way, she wants and needs someone bad to be put away. May I tell her progress is still being made? I’ll let her read. Observer’s post too. I have listened as a parent. #1, #2, #3 in cell phone, getting names of camp couselors, personal safety.
    I know, no guarantee but I’m listening. She’s reading.

    Last post tonight :)

    re;

    “jmo, but I think the freak who planted the t-shirt, planted it WHERE he did in order to torment someone else who was involved. Also, to begin paving the way for suspicion to be directed away from himself and onto that person (the tormented one)”.

    The paragraph above reminds me of the saying, “If they’ll do it WITH you; they’ll also do it TO you”. I heard the phrase used with respect to office gossip and confidentiality ~ if someone gossips to you and/or tells you what someone else said in confidence, they’re the type of person that will also gossip about you and/or tell others what you said to them in confidence. I think the phrase applies to just about anything though.

  25. justiceformorgan says:

    P.S. If DNA was planted on the shirt, the location for placement of the shirt could have been selected as a back-up ~ to direct suspicion onto another person involved with a sort of connection to the area in the event Sketch had an airtight alibi.

  26. mary says:

    If DNA from Sketch was planted — doesn’t that pretty much have to mean LE? And they either got the DNA directly from Sketch (and possibly knew his past crime(s)) or from the evidence in the Fairfax case? Or did the perp steal some hair or a cigarette butt from Sketch and then drop it at the scene or rub it on the t-shirt? Right now I can’t go with this theory.

    I believe t-shirts can be placed on bushes innocently — but not this t-shirt, in this town, in this time frame. Sorry. I can’t explain the t-shirt but I don’t think it was random.

    IMO based on last sighting, clothing find and body location: This person is familiar with both Fairfax and Charlottesville and has a student connection to Charlottesville. Teacher? Coach? Parent of student?

  27. alexandra says:

    If I am understanding correctly, Mrs. Harrington is saying that DNA (semen) was found on Morgan’s body. So I conclude not the T shirt.

    Not much information on this story…

    July 20, 2010

    Charlottesville Police are investigating an attempted assault after a woman was attacked Monday night.

    Police say the assault happened on Roosevelt Brown Boulevard, near the University of Virginia Medical Center, around 11pm Monday night.

    Geeze, how about a description?
    B

    According to police, a man came up behind a woman and pushed her to the ground. The woman was able to push the man away, and the suspect then fled the scene.

    The investigation is ongoing. Police anyone anyone with information regarding the crime to call Crime Stoppers at 434-977-4000.

  29. alexandra says:

    Mrs. Harrington said, “Morgan was a beautiful girl, not a semen stained rag to be discarded in a field like garbage”
    Blink I trust your ability to interpret, I have been known to misunderstand. It makes a difference if forensic evidence was recovered on the planted shirt or on dear Morgan’s body.

    I don’t have the answer, I was just really cautioning using that as an absolute.

    “I believe we all relate because we are mothers and yes, even fathers on this forum”.

    I actually forgot to have children :) All kidding aside, it was more of a career driven choice.

    Mary, thanks for your input ~ what you said makes sense. The only thing I can’t see is LE planting the DNA ~ I don’t think LE was involved in any way ~ jmo.

    I read my posts again and realize they weren’t worded very well and some of the info didn’t come out the way I meant it to re; dates, etc ~ I’ll spare everyone an updated version though :)

    I’m thinking the t-shirt may have been handed to Sketch to wipe his hands or face in a situation in which that wouldn’t seem really unusual. Or, he could have been asked to hold the t-shirt. Since it was Fall, I would think, if the perp had gloves on so his DNA didn’t transfer to the shirt, it wouldn’t seem unusual.

    I probably have this all wrong ~ perhaps Sketch was directly involved. I’m still leaning towards not involved though and set up by a cunning perp who was most likely familiar with Sketch’s past crime.

    Can you post the address where the shirt was found ?

    Thank You.

  32. redly says:

    Hey fish — no I didn’t think you were too hard on the players. I just wanted to make it clear that the two who were removed from the team (one in November and one at the end of the season in late February really were not cut loose in any sense of the term. They simply lost the privilege of playing D1 basketball for UVA. They still had their scholarships, they still had access to tutors, they still were part of the basketball family and I am sure had plenty of access to and interaction with the coaches. Tucker used to sit behind the bench at the home games after being removed from the team and, when I was back in town in late November, I saw him out with a bunch of the other players. Landesberg was removed from the team with only one game to go because he was not showing up for a one credit art class. It was the coach’s choice, not UVAs, because the players were not academically ineligible to play under NCAA or UVA rules (as their grades were not back yet). They just were not meeting their team set academic obligations and the coach wanted to show future players that there are consequences to those decisions.

    You did not offend liam. Apparently I did because I thought his comparison of the treatment of the UVA hoops players here to whatever evil motivated the three most horrific mass murders in American history (Cho and the columbine kids) was rather silly (in addition to being factually wrong).

    Alexandra Says:

    It makes a difference if forensic evidence was recovered on the planted shirt or on dear Morgan’s body.

    ——————————

    I agree, it is important. The shirt, where cross contamination may be more likely to occur, could be potentially significant. Also, the types of cells that the DNA evidence was extracted from is also significant. If the DNA was extracted directly from the body, or the immediate surrounding items, it would appear to be more favorable to the investigation than DNA extracted from the shirt/purse etc. where cross contamination “could” potentially occur.

    That said, however, the likelihood of DNA matching that of another crime and not being connected to this one is extremely small IMO, I would assume WHERE it was collected and from WHAT specific item(s) would be far more significant if no match were present.

    Does anyone know the identity of all 3 BBP that spoke with Morgan that night? There was a player listed as a freshman on the 2009-2010 UVA BB roster that lives in close proximity to Fairfax where the assault took place. This same player is not listed on the 2010-2011 UVA BB roster. I realize the description of the “sketch” is a much older person than a freshman in college would be, but perhaps a friend or family member? I know it’s a long shot, but we do have the BBP’s to be the last known people to speak with Morgan and then we have the one BBP (2oo0-2010) that lives near the first assault and was on the team at the time of Morgan’s murder. Hope this doesn’t offend anyone. I’m just brainstorming and trying to get things going again in research. Thanks everyone.

  36. Mom3.0 says:

    Redly and Fish- You did nothing wrong- Liam, I think, was just worried that he offended you- Its okay guys- it was just a misunderstanding, really. I don’t want anyone to feel bad for expressing their thoughts, feelings or theories. Not Debbie, or Liam or you two.

    It has been 9 months, we are all racking our brains trying to end this nightmare. It has taken a toll on all of us.

    But please, everyone, remember that we do know so much more than we did, when we began the journey to help Morgan and her family.

    We know that forensic evidence has been found linking Morgan’s attacker to that of a past rapist. We have a sketch of someone that is involved in both crimes. We know that someone involved in this crime left Morgan at AF. We have Morgan’s shirt recovered in Charlottesville.

    The police are still looking at tips they received from the release of the sketch.

    5 years ago, a man brutally raped a woman, a sketch was released. He felt confident, I am sure, after 5 years, that he was safe. He may not have even known that he left behind any forensic evidence. Yet, he did, and that evidence has linked him to the brutal death of Morgan Harrington.

    Think about it, -THAT IS HUGE- unfortunately, we know that this guy is a serial offender, he will strike again. Women of Virginia, especially Charlottesville are not safe.

    Morgan’s death was NOT an accident, she did not simply wander off. She was taken and hurt by this man- Charlottesville, the campus and LE can no longer think of Morgan’s death as an isolated inncident. LE certainly understands the urgency of finding this offender and preventing him from harming any one else’s daughter.

    This isn’t about some young, inebriated, irrational, head banging blonde., who was picked out, because of her looks, or the fact that she was at a metal concert, and may have been looking to party or to get drugs. This isn’t about a young woman who made a series of bad mistakes including Hitch hiking and in some way, may have contributed to her death.

    No, this could happen to anyone. Charlottesville parents can no longer comfort themselves with thoughts of “not my daughter” she doesn’t drink, she doesn’t like metal, she doesn’t do drugs, she doesn’t hitch hike, she doesn’t….

    This guy doesn’t care who he harms or how long he has to wait- He doesn’t care if you are walking home from the store, or jogging, or if you are hitch hiking. He waits for any opportunity and then he strikes out brutally. He must be stopped.

  40. Word Girl says:

    Gil’s poignant prose breaks my heart each time. It’s the hard work that she (and they all) are doing to process this tragedy that foams and froths the issues up and challenges her at every turn. Brava, bella. Gil, you’ve never shied away from hard work–keep at it–we’re lifting up the prophet’s arms.

    Alexandra, thanks for bringing over the video. I’m a cry-baby today.
    Do you know the song or songster?

    Fish-love, do you know the book “Swimmy” by Leo Lionni? Always one of my favorites. Swimmy sadly loses his entire family to a predator, but he finds another family of red fish. His quickness and ingenuity gathers all of them together to form a familiar shape, but much larger than they would be on their own. When all are in their places, Swimmy–a dark fish–swiftly moves into place and becomes the eye. Naturally, a predator would never mess with such a big red fish like that!

    Swim in place, everyone. Life can dramatically change in the Blink of an eye. We’re all in this school together. Amen.

  41. Judi says:

    Dear Lord, I pray for the Harringtons, I pray they can FEEL your love AND Morgan’s love. I pray for strength, comfort and a sense of closure for them. I pray for the investigators who are working this case, for strength and for the guideance they need to lead them to whomever committed this horrible act against precious, beautiful, shiny Morgan. I pray for peace and love. I know Morgan is with you now, free of any pain, sorrow or fear, bearing her angel wings, smiling that beautiful smile, and dancing to the sound of music, which she loves so much. I pray for the safety of women and children. Amen.

    Further research reveals that the player I mentioned in my post above transferred from UVA because he and the coach could not agree on what role he would play on the team.

    The link (below) indicates that this player butted heads with the coach at Woodridge High, and was not wanted back at Montrose Christian High School.

    Tarheel — just as a correction to your earlier post. Spurlock would have been 14 in 2005, not a college freshman.

    here’s one … someone look up father’s of UVA basketball players between 2004-2010? any bball players there from 2005-1010? then find their father(s) and brother(s). the bball player may not be involved, but associate / family / extended circle may be.

    Thank you redly, I’m aware. Perhaps I didn’t word that correctly, but what I meant was the person in the sketch can’t be spurlock because he is only a college freshman, but perhaps sketch is a friend or family member of Spurlock. Thanks for clarifying for the others though.

    I realize the description of the “sketch” is a much older person than a freshman in college would be, but perhaps a friend or family member?

    This is a good place to start, I am sure LE is cross referencing, or at least they should be, all known African American persons in the area that evening. I am fairly certain that this person, at the very least, has had some form of “run-in” with LE in the past, perhaps petty offences, obviously nothing that would require a surrendered DNA sample. Any known African American persons in the area, with any previous arrests, should be looked at IMO, especially individuals who perhaps were picked up in the past for the solicitation of prostitutes.

    any or 2005-2010 UVA basketball opposition who played at JPJ arena/UVA facilities the night Morgan disappeared and in Fairfax in 2005?

    From University of Virginia police:

    “The Charlottesville Police Department responded to a report of a sexual assault that occurred on Roosevelt Brown Blvd at 11:30 p.m. on Monday July 19, 2010. The victim, a University of Virginia student, reported being approached from behind and was pushed into some bushes along the sidewalk as she was walking on Roosevelt Brown Blvd. After a brief struggle, the assailant fled on foot in the direction of West Main Street.

    The suspect is described as a Hispanic male in his early thirties. He is approximately five foot seven inches tall and weighs approximately 150 to 160 pounds.”

    This makes me shiver. Wasn’t there a Hispanic male walking in the same direction as Morgan on the parking lot?

    A Hispanic male was said to be witnessed following a few feet behind Morgan as she walked across the parking lots, if I remember correctly.

    Birds of a feather flock together. Many of us believe Sketch did not act alone and that there is another party involved. Could the person working with Sketch be a Hispanic male, possibly THIS Hispanic male?
