Morgan Harrington Murder: A Security Check On Security- Why Did It Fail?
Charlottesville, VA-
On the afternoon of October 17, 2009, Morgan Harrington and three of her friends drove to John Paul Jones Arena, located on the University of Virginia campus, to attend a long-anticipated Metallica concert. Following an apparent fall and chin injury occurring around the time she was visiting the ladies room, Morgan ended up outside the arena and attempted to gain re-entry to the venue.
How and why she got there comes in at a baffling second only compared to what happened to her next.
Nine months ago Dr. Dan and Gil Harrington, Morgan’s parents were notified their daughter was missing which is when their nightmare began.
On November 5, 2009, the day before a search which was organized at the request of the Harrington’s was to commence, a vintage black Pantera t-shirt placed on a bush in front of an apartment complex at the intersection near 15th Street and Grady Ave. was located by a nearby resident.
While this discovery was not released publicly, Charlottesville PD knew immediately it belonged to Morgan Harrington. Sara Snead, one of the friends that accompanied Morgan to the concert, immediately confirmed the distinct vintage design that compelled Morgan to borrow the t-shirt from her a week before the show.
Subsequently, DNA analysis confirmed the t-shirt was indeed the same one Morgan was wearing the night she disappeared.
On January 26, 2010 the remains of Morgan Harrington were discovered by David Bass, owner of Anchorage Farm, located in Albemarle County. Although her cause of death has not been released, her manner of death has been classified as a homicide by the Virginia State Police.
Dan and Gil Harrington marked the nine-month anniversary of Morgan’s disappearance from her memorial on Copeley Bridge 4 days ago.
Gil Harrington’s impassioned statement made it clear that her family’s mission is to prevent what happened to Morgan from happening to another victim and their goal is to educate young women about safety and personal security.
On July 1st, based upon an article posted on blinkoncrime.com inside sources confirmed a forensic link between Morgan’s homicide and a Fairfax County Case. Research on this case indicates it was a violent sexual assault that happened in 2005. The victim assisted in the sketch of a man police wish to interview in connection with both the Fairfax assault as well as the apparent abduction and murder of Morgan Harrington. .
What did it mean to the investigation and to the parents of young women in Charlottesville? We have a serial offender on the loose in multiple jurisdictions and an immediate need to beef up personal security.
As our very vulnerable student body returns to campus next month, blinkoncrime.com provides a glimpse at current conditions.
Unregulated Regulations In Security
The 2004 General Assembly, through House Joint Resolution (HJR122), requested the Virginia State Crime Commission to study safety at Virginia’s institutions of higher education. As a result, DCJS created the Office of Campus Policing and Security (OCPS) to address the law requiring minimum training and employment standards for campus security officers.
Campus Security Regulations for Institutions of Higher Education in the State of Virginia, fall under the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Private Security Services Advisory Board. Below is an excerpt of the unapproved draft meeting notes of their quarterly meeting held December 8, 2009; the first and only since Morgan’s disappearance from JPJ.
The issue of safety and security on college campuses was addressed in a 2006 Crime Commission Study on Campus Safety. This study resulted in the statutory requirements under Code of Virginia (Code) §9.1-102 (49).
College populations represent a large concentration of students between the ages of 18-25 years with limited supervision and life experience. In terms of homeland security, campuses are identified as “soft targets” and are frequently targeted by domestic and foreign terrorists. Campuses also house volatile materials and research facilities that are also targeted by radical elements in society. Campuses host large stadium events and concerts that are potential targets for terrorism and riots. Most campuses also have facilities that are open to the public and are relatively difficult to secure and lockdown. Campus Security Officers are primary first responders to incidents of crime and violence on campus.
Although UVA campus security officers require a certification provided by DCJS, there are ZERO regulatory standards for certification. It was NOT until Morgan Harrington disappeared from the grounds of the JPJ Arena that emergency regulations were sought from Governor Bob McDonnell.
How does a woman on the campus of a University that provides it’s very own Police Department in addition to event security simply vanish without a trace?
By the time Morgan ends up in a hay field 7 miles away, she has passed through 3 different law enforcement jurisdictions and a slew of private campus and event security agencies and personnel. While private security regulations fall under the umbrella of the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, they also require a judicial amendment only if and when they are approved via “emergency” status by the Governor.
Who’s Looking Out For The Kids, Exactly?
As the safety on campus study showed, our college age kids are at their most vulnerable in the University setting. Out from under the watchful eye of Mom and Dad and wading through the rich culture and nightlife of downtown Charlottesville, students face a host of potential safety risks.
In fact, during the very development of this article, I received an alert from UVA security that a UVA student was sexually assaulted in the area of Roosevelt Boulevard. While I commend the swift response and warning from UVA PD chief Michael Gibson, I can’t help but wonder if a similar alert upon learning Morgan disappeared from the UVA/JPJ campus would have made a difference for her.
A simple Google of “Charlottesville security” produces the front page for HH Security Services, Inc, a local private security and bail bonding firm. I am no expert but isn’t it a bit odd to claim to protect one’s security and then bond out someone that may threaten it in the first place?
Who is vetting the security that is responsible for ensuring safety?
While HH Security or it’s employees have no known ties whatsoever to the Harrington case, it is a prime example of the weakness of current security regulations, involving students and private events, 6 years in the making.
At H & H Security Services, Inc. we specialize in Private Investigation, Private Security both armed and unarmed as well as fast efficient Civil Process Service. Our full-time professional agents are well trained, well equipped, well informed, and discreet.? Owner Rod Howard is a native of Charlottesville and central Virginia, where he’s been a well respected business owner for over twenty years. H & H Security Services, Inc. is his vehicle in his effort to help serve and protect the community he grew up in. Over the years he’s assembled a team of certified and experienced personnel who share his commitment to the safety of the community.
HH Security, in a business journal ad, claims to hire members of law enforcement and be very well connected with various police departments and security agencies for nightclubs, special events and home security checks as well in 2007.
HH Security is the security firm of choice for Club 216, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Rivals, which are bars frequently visited by UVA students and athletes.
Roderick M Howard, owner of HH Security and H&H Car detailing maintains active licenses issued through the VA Dept of Criminal Justice Services for private security and as a bailbondsman.
While blinkoncrime editors were researching this piece, a review of Albemarle County Court records show Roderick Howard was arrested for felony rape in 1993, subsequently indicted for same and a year later on the first day of trial, pled guilty to misdemeanor sexual battery whereby he was sentenced to 12 months, 11 of which were suspended and two years unsupervised probation.
Howard was also arrested a few times for felony bad checks; both cases ended nolle prosequi.
How can an accused rapist and convicted sexual batterer hold a dual license in the private security sector as well as two classifications of firearms, all of which is monitored by the VADCJS? It is specifically stated in the regulations regarding moral turpitude AND sexual battery that the VADCJS MAY DENY an applicant on those grounds.
According to Mr. Howard’s own advertisement, he has been in the security industry since 1989. Would that mean he was employed in the security field when he was arrested for rape?
Shockingly, It may be perfectly legal. Although the administrative statute for licensure prohibits granting a license to someone with a misdemeanor sexual battery conviction, if Howard divulged the crime in his application and requested a waiver from the director at the time, it is possible one was granted.
Blinkoncrime.com spoke to Lisa McGee, Regulatory Program Manager for DCJS, private security advisory committee:
“…there is a code in the statute that allows the potential for both an individual convicted of a felony and the outlined misdemeanors exceptions contained therein to obtain a director’s waiver. Two felonies we would never even consider are rape and murder, but dependent upon the criminal offense, the circumstances and the length of time that has transpired with a clean record, the verbiage in the statute would allow an applicant to at least request a waiver for our consideration…” Lisa McGee
Ms. McGee was not able to address Mr. Howard’s file specifically, citing privacy laws, but she was able to verify that Mr. Howard’s registration with the agency is current.
There are however, some discrepancies in the press release written to announce the “restructuring” of both companies, announced October 19th.
For starters, there was only a name change to Mr. Howard’s business, which actually took place prior to the October 19 release date, in May, 2009.
These are not two separate businesses. In fact, the bailbondsman license issued to Mr. Howard’s agent, Anthony Halstead, leads back to Accelerated Bail Bonds, which is not a listed entity in the state of Virginia or listed as a fictitious name for H&H Security Services.
I would be willing to wager that the police departments that allow off duty security employment with this firm would appreciate some clarification on both the personnel and licensing issues.
There has been no arrest in the homicide of Morgan Harrington. In a statement released by Corrine Geller, PR manager for the Virginia State Police, VSP has received approximately 100 significant leads from the release of the sketch of the alleged perpetrator of the 2005 Fairfax County sex assault.
Dan and Gil Harrington will be meeting with new University of Virginia President, Teresa Sullivan, next month to address safety and security issues on campus.
“..People think it cannot happen to them, IT CAN– Dan Harrington.”
Editors Note: I am not a resident of Virginia. However, I think the interest of the safety of our children is a National one. Any person that is placed in a position of public trust, most especially those that come into contact with our vulnerable students, should be REQUIRED to disclose past convictions that would negate them that position without some sort of subjective “pass”. How can we know-TRULY KNOW the level of presumed safety if we really aren’t aware of the backgrounds of those in charge of it?

Continuation of my 9:14 post
IF LE has a person who they suspect is Sketch or someone else under suspicion who maybe left DNA evidence either on Morgan’s body, her clothes or where she was found, but not strong enough evidence to obtain a search warrant for a DNA sample, they could take the same action as with Charlottesville’s serial rapist. After a victim spotted the man at his very public place of employment, she notified police and his favorite lunch spot was staked out. He discarded a drink cup with a straw. No search warrant needed after he threw away the cup, it was retrieved, DNA match was made and the man is now serving two life sentences.
There is no way that someone this violent is not going to strike again. He needs caught NOW!! I just wish we knew if LE had a clue.
Correction – Perp no doubt has serious issues, you can bet your bottom dollar those that know him or them have seen the signs. So, I correct myself – he/they should have been “addressed” for lack of a better word BEFORE this happened to Morgan. But, he was not. And, he should have been arrested for what he did to Morgan 11 months ago. Again, he was not. But, he at least needs caught NOW. Not next year, not after the next victim. NOW!!!
I am so beyond frustration, you can’t even see it in my rear view mirror anymore.
One more comment, I’m sorry.
Is ANYONE other than the Harringtons putting ANY pressure on LE to solve this case?
Or are people for most part allowing and accepting it to be “swept under the carpet”?
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE HARRINGTONS HAVE A PI?
I’m not sure I trust this to be resolved via normal channels if someone of clout is involved.
Here you go. This is EXACTLY why a cop can’t be ruled out here ….
http://kdka.com/westmoreland/Smithton.arrests.home.2.1927911.html
OK….I’m going to drop the murdered somewhere else notion. I now go with abducted, taken to the farm and murdered there and buried in a very shallow grave and her remains were dislodged by heavy rains. Wipes out my bird activity wonderings. The only birds I will notice are the ones at my feeders.
Blink, Can you diclose if you know whether the COD is known?
Minnie Penney – I don’t think Morgan was moved post-motem. I think she was put close to where she ended up either that night or early the next morning. She may have been disturbed by natural forces later. The miscreants wouldn’t want to risk having her with them or going back…the cowards dumped her and high-tailed it out of there ASAP.
Can someone please remind me of who EA is what is his connection to the area or that evening? He seems to be intelligent, and writes well… not that that has anything to do with anything.

————————–
It has been said that it was rainy/raining the night of the concert. If someone drove back to/near where Morgan was found, wouldn’t there be tire tracks? Footprints? ground indentions that would show the path taken, if there was a struggle,etc???
I still have hope about the evidence found at the scene where Morgan was found. Somewhere, sometime, there has got to be a connection made.
some serial killers get set back loose or have had ‘treatment’ the freak serial killers for instance. Maybe they should never be free or live. THey ruin families, even faith even hope of ever opening your door and thinking life is also for me.
Why treat evil as people while they are walking timebombs nothing else, some even have families who ‘love’them or they go dating on death row.
I mean I am soft hearted but to be kind to these people is preparing a monster do to it again. and just maybe its one of those convicted killers working on the farm and the only thing he learned is to be smarter, sorry to sound harsh
Looking at some of the facebook pages (Really David Morris?….Really?) of the MMA types being mentioned here, leads me to 1 conclusion, and I hate to pigeonhole an entire group of….ahem…..”athletes” from just a few images. But I see a bunch of steroid abusers and meat-heads. Do they give these guys a vial of ‘roids and a test to see if they are a true meat-head before they are allowed to enter the training facility?
But that also leads me to a few theories: 1) These guys are pretty self-absorbed people, which means they talk about themselves….A LOT….what they are doing (real or imagined), what they’ve done (mostly imagined). I can’t picture, if one was at least partially responsible, them not saying something to someone by now and giving the secret up. How often do we see criminals, even really smart ones, get caught because their ego won’t allow them to not talk. 2) If one of these guys knew something, or heard something, they would not hesitate to throw a “friend” under the bus to get at the $150,000.
Maybe sketch is one of these guys, but with the type of attack up in Fairfax, combined with what, on the surface, appears to be a similar blitz attack where Morgan’s purse was found. I can’t see one of these guys being part of this in some form or fashion, and not giving it away for the above stated reasons.
Just my thoughts, I could 100% wrong. I can see sketch in this group, it portrays a very masculine “I’m in control” image. I just can’t see sketch and anyone else in this group knowing and someone not screwing it up by now.
If a person involved in law enforcement or security services IS involved here, it is outrageous that he is still “roaming” free. My daughter is at UVA. How is she supposed to know who she can trust to protect her and her friends? Just WHO do you call when you need protection? I live too far away to physically be there for her. My daughter does LOVE UVA and is already sad that she graduates in May. But, I will be concerned for all the women in C’ville until this guy/these guys are behind bars. I love BLINK and the Blinkettes!
P.S. Blink, my comment from 9/19 at 5:48 p.m. is still awaiting moderation.
Yes, it is private, no?

@ MsL: Of course I do not advocate LE simply asking persons resembling Sketch for dna.
The preface of my concern was IF sketch was subject to dna database for 1993 felony pled down to misdemeanor.
Based on your response I have looked up the info in the Code of Va, herewith:
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+19.2-310.2
It says “upon conviction of a felony”, so I suppose that so and so was smart to plead to a misdemeanor. We will only know in the future what was the price of that 1993 judicial decision to allow the lessor plea which resulted in no database entry, and what was the price of the entire legislation not requiring a contribution to the dna data base for a misdemeanor plea bargained down from a felony.
I suppose we shall see. And I am not just talking about one person, once case. I am speaking in general, as too many of these offenses seem to be getting pled down to misdemeanors, imo.
Let’s just say,
By the time Morgan was found, there probably would have been no useful tire tracks left from October. In December, the area had over 2 feet of snow which melted away over a period of weeks and then just a day or so before she was found, we had heavy rain. It would seem that Farmer Bass would have noticed any really unusual tracks shortly after the 17th, but having no idea his property was a crime scene, it’s possible he just didn’t pay attention to tire tracks that weren’t his. That’s assuming someone used the main entrance to Anchorage Farm. If entrance was gained from other locations, then Farmer Bass probably would have seen nothing out of the ordinary. Apparently he hadn’t visited the rear acres after August.
@MsL: However, I think that a person in the public trust, who has had a felony sex offence charge reduced to a misdeamenor SHOULD be happy to give a sample of his dna, in order to prove that he is worthy of continued public trust, and to prove that he is deserving of the public’s furture business in hiring him. This is not a constitutional issue, this is a public trust issue, and a business decision on his part.
Frankly I am in favor of not tip toeing around the issue, and having all DCJS certified security contractors submit dna.
The public, and public institutions do not have to hire anyone with whom they are not completely comfortable, and the DCJS does not have to certify private security service owners whom the public is not comfortable with, due to a legal loophole of pleading down from a sex offence felony to a misdemeanor. This is not some random joe we are speaking of, but a person with the ability to detain people, quasi LE.
So, apples to oranges comparison as to the previous Charlottesville LE dna chase. I don;t agree with that one either.

________________________________________________________________
I see the middle name “Wade” in common among a lot of people we’ve discussed. Just three examples are Colby Wade Eppard, Gregory Wade Sandridge, Michael Wade Napier (EMH’s former employer at Advanced Plumbing, next-door neighbor, and likely uncle or other relative–sold property with EMH’s mom and another woman, all using Napier as last name).
Just an observation.

************************************************
The case was broke because of a confidential informant. Only wish one would step up for Morgan. The officer involved was not from a neighboring town or district, which I found both interesting and disturbing. Smithton is a very small town and is also the childhood home of Shirley Jones from The Partridge Family.
“State police are still looking for any information on this man… Who’s d-n-a was found on Morgan’s body.”
http://www2.wsls.com/news/2010/sep/21/harringtons-say-social-media-has-helped-murder-cas-ar-517795/
————————————–
In regards to the DNA “being found on the body”, is this verified? Just wondering if it is a misprint, as I don’t think this information was previously disclosed?
@ acho:
Just an observation.
****
Yes, it seems very prevalent doesnt it.
Blink is this gym the same gym that Sheriff Morris went to? I remember that he was an avid weight lifter and had won some championships but I can’t remember what gym?
Oscar, FWIW, I don’t think that all people who are into those things are meatheads and on steroids. I think that would be an unfair characterization. IIRC even after the Sheriff’s death, some (not here) commented that the sheriff’s hearing loss was due to steroid abuse…
oops cut myself off.
Last sentence should have cont with this thought.
I just think we should be careful what we write– lots of people will take it and run with it- hurting innocent people, which was never our intention.
Susan, re your posts 15 and 17, I agree with most of what you wrote. I would have absolutely no problem with the person in question voluntarily submitting a sample if he were so inclined. I doubt that he has, but I also doubt that we would know if he has unless the results were a match.
A correction to my earlier post re: the serial rapist. I’m afraid I gave the impression men were randomly approached on the street and asked for a voluntary DNA sample. I have since gone back and read several articles, and that was not the case. For anyone interested, to follow are two articles about the DNA dragnet as it was tagged:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A12880-2004Apr14¬Found=true
http://www.readthehook.com/Stories/2003/01/16/coverstoryOnGuardWomenBrac.html
While there is absolutely no connection to Morgan’s death, the last several paragraphs of the Hook article could be reworded to apply to this investigation. Especially the last comment by Chip Harding, the current Albemarle County Sheriff. With the serial rapist case solved, his comments proved to be true. The predator was a family man, married with two children who apparently no one suspected until the arrest.

I couldn’t agree more . I have first hand experience after today . I hosted the VSP investegators on my porch today .
I should be pissed , but I am not . I certanly will write more after I put it all together , I have been quiet for some time ; time for a ramble .
I am happy to see so many of you still hanging in there for Morgan and her family .
Take this as FACT . I will explain more later but I did get a comforting feeling the VSP is digging . I seen it today first hand and I am glad I did . It gave me hope .
Now I need to try and rember so much over the past year and see where you guys have been looking the past few months .
I am shure with the help of UVA that JPJA is still stonewalling but I was pleased with what I heard today .
Dakota
Dakota
Dakota-
Certainly a lot going on with you these days I see-
I look forward to what I hope is an explanation of above. If your meeting with VSP was encouraging, I am not understanding what you should be “pissed” about, or what prompted them to be on your porch in the first place.
In your opinion, what do you think JPJ is “stonewalling” about?

Judi
Be patient, don’t get frustrated. We would all like to have the answers and get the perp(s) off the street and make the area safer.
Interesting link to the bad cop and girlfiend. There are bad people everywhere and LE and security have them too. Sometimes it takes a while to get all the answers. The important thing is to keep digging until the answers are found. It would be great if LE could share data, but, if they did, it would make their work that much more difficult.
Susan I agree that there should be no plea bargans for an assault that has a sexual reason. In fact, a plea bargain should be a rare thing rather than commonplace.
Blink, when’s the last time Lt. Joe Rader spoke to the public about Morgan’s case? Is he still on the case? What gives?
Feb 3rd, iirc.
He is the Lt. On Morgan’s case, yes. VSP has a policy about press conf in an ongoing murder investigation.

@Eloise: thank you for all of the research. You have a gift, and a talent.
Good Morning all,
Just a quick clarification if anyone has a minute.
Dakota that paid a visit. Not the same as Dakota + Dad in the news?
Same Dakota that chatted w/ Sky on craigs list?
Just wanted to be sure I am w/ the program.
Worked last PM, will be on later.
ps/ Susan, thanks, I dont know about all that.
Not Eades, correct.
As far as the craigslist thing, I have no way of confirming if either one of those “hats” are the same that post here. I think pretty much anyone can post as whoever they want on CL, not sure.
B
Blink, I’m digging and you may already be aware of this but on Scott Halstead’s page he’s got listed a Kimberly Halstead-Herndon as a sibling….The name Herndon reminds me of a certain happy hippie…any connection whatsoever?

Not according to VA SCC he isn’t, regardless of what he says. He is a bail agent.

@Eloise
Let me answer your ? from the horses mouth . I cannot confirm that someone didn’t post as “Dakota” on Craigslist way back when but I do not recall anyone alerting me to something that didn’t come from this Dakota nor do I remeber seeing anything .
Both myself and Mizjill posted on Craigslist and I am the one that at one time conversed with Skyler from C/ville area . Not sure where she went or why , I figured she got caught up in the crazy on-line spin that was happening some time ago .
Dakota and Dakoda ( eades) are two different people and I apologize, I remember the Eades name but remember very little of why his name was in the news .
OH and I always sign my name to post no matter where they are , have for years all over this valley !
Dakota
@Dakota: I was thinking of you just yesterday, so it’s funny to see you back again. The reason I thought of you was there was discussion about 4WDs on here again; people were trying (again) to figure out access to the area where Morgan’s body was found. It made me remember reading your post on the Hook last spring, where you challenged David Bass to let you onto his property with a 2WD so you could prove that a “lesser” vehicle could have done the job.
IF you feel comfortable discussing it after the visit you just had, I wonder if you still feel that way?
How interesting to see both you and Mr. Kane back at blinkoncrime this week. Like you, I choose to view all of this week’s recent events with optimism.
For Blink, Blinksters and the Harringtons- Just to let you know I am still here and will continue to be-I want justice for our shiny girl Morgan! BTW, I was in Dick’s Sporting Goods last night and saw a cart that hunters can use for moving the deer out of the woods, etc. Does anybody know the terrain of AF and where Morgan was found-could you possibly use something like this or is it too steep?
Thank you!

Thanks Dakota, nice to meet you.
I choose to believe that Lt. Rader knows exactly what is going. I hope and pray we hear of an arrest real soon. Justice for Morgan!
oops, what is going ON
Here is a link to a murderer who has just been arrested for murdering a 13 year old girl 14 years ago through linking him to his DNA after he was arrested on current drug trafficking charges.
Thank God!! Now onto to arresting Sketch.

Still catching up with all you great sleuths!
But Blink, you mentioned a photo you would send gini from Sacre
Coeur–and WG mentally went off on the “sacred heart/sacred center/sacred mission” we are together on… Yes.
There is a little park or greenspace up behind Sacred Coeur. You can just follow the upward leading street. There are places to sit and process what you’ve just experienced. I believe those quiet spaces call us to consider.
Here is a challenging quote for all of us:
“All serious daring starts from within.”
~Eudora Welty
There is nothing more to say, except that I am
open to guidance to words more effective that
I can say to those impeding justice for Morgan.
It is one of the most breathtaking places I have ever been.
If your words are lost on those responsible, it is because they themselves are lost.
They are inspiring to those that needed them today, and for that I am thankful for your guidance and friendship.

XC-
Your not going to believe this, but I think your child may be in the same building as another poster’s, who also gave me similar information privately.
Are you reachable by me at this email?

Interesting thought and could explain how he transported her. I believe it is worth consideration.
I have a thought about the battery. Is it possible that someone removed her cell phone battery without her knowing, then put the cover back on, so she would think it was dead and he would know that she had no way of calling for help? I mean, why take the extra step of putting the cover back on?
Morgan was fit, in shape, young and vibrant with a strong will to live. I think she would have put up a fight, unless rendered defenseless quickly. I wonder if anyone showed up with scratches, bruises, anything of the sort after that night. If she was drugged (i.e date rape drug, etc), would that show up in her autopsy that many months later, if it was still in her system when she died?
I still say that her texts to the guy several miles away and the convo with the BB players are very crucial to solving this case. And, they must hold important information for there not to be a peep released about what Morgan said. BB players names not being released and them not talking – it’s because it puts them in danger. They know something. That’s what I think anyways.
The police know how she ended up outside, but say it is not important to the investigation therefore, mums the word. I really think she ended up outside as a result of an argument with a friend. This would lend insight to Morgan’s emotional state. Morgan was looking forward to this concert for months, thus making the argument and circumstances that much more upsetting to her (because now not only is she fighting with her friend, the long awaited concert is also ruined). When Sara called, I think Morgan was blowing her off more than anything cause she was pissed at whomever.
Blowing her off so much to remove her own battery so they could not call or text perhaps?
Injured by the heel of a boot kick so that one might have to explain how he got that way?
Yes, definitely.

Back to the kickee. Gosh I wish we could know who that is. Was he working there that night? Or just awaiting friends as claimed?
* 44 yrs old
* Had(s)a girflfriend
* Saw a commotion at the exit doors
* From what vantage point?, outside I am assuming?
* Waiting on friends
* Likes late night Mickey D’s
* Possibly witnessed by granny ( seems likely to me)
Wow, not much.
FWIW, just a good site to use…*it doesn’t always list everything, but still a pretty good one…
CW-
Can you re-post that link resource without the name information, please. It is a good resource (basic) for non-LE but I also note it does not include the Federal database, just fyi.
Also- I want to tell everyone that CW, much like Eloise, acho, and Lily have been doing lately, has racked up very solid research in Morgan’s case. A lot of it, for reasons I am not prepared to discuss, I cannot post publicly.
I mention this because it should not discourage anyone from continuing to furrow for pieces to the puzzle.
You have my word. When there is an arrest (s) in this case, I will post the entire catalog of “unpublishable” research that is case relevant.
Kudos.
