One of the most interesting articles yet IMO. Why did JLM choose this beach? Also name used was George Carr by JLM

Some interesting information on Dean Corll
http://murderpedia.org/male.C/c/corll-dean.htm
Well, here we go, I could spend another whole Saturday researching. Dean Corll wow. Do serial killers take an interest in each other?
I find it extremely odd that JM ended up where he did in Texas and I do not think that was random. Although why I don’t think it is random, I’m not sure. I guess it is because of the way it is described. Remote and isolated. I know he needed remote and isolated but who thinks of Galvaston as a hideout? The guy has a connection of some type to that location.
I’m with ya’ll. I’d search every historical Lewis property.
I apologize for the rambling.
OK, maybe someone has already said this or this is well known…….I don’t know but Carr is another old family name in this county and George Carr was an early teacher in Charlottesville.
Is this just coincidence? Is the detailed history that common that this dude would just spout names from long ago history lessons? What the heck?
No- he is telling us who he is.

I have always had a hard time believing that foul play was not involved in the death of Jamisha Gilbert.
———-
!i agree totally.
The case of Jamisha Gilbert should be re-opened. It’s especially weird that she was found nude in a cemetery and they say “no foul play.” . Did something spook a predator? Maybe she got away somehow, ran and hid and the predator gave up. It is just too strange & sounds fishy- like the puzzle pieces haven’t been properly connected.
On another note- re Jesse M. I feel strongly that he worked alone.
He’s a cunning freak who has a serious anger management problem. He “plays dumb” as some girls “play blonde” when it works to his favor. He has a strong desire to rape and is too sociopathic/narcissistic/self-entitled to share.
He likely was looking to rape (or worse) the night of the ill-fated Metalluca concert in 2009 and purposely went to the parking lot to seek prey and Morgan was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Had she not fallen into his hands, he would have found (or tried to find) another victim.
I think the 2002 rape at Liberty U, behind the stadium (outside if I’m reading it right) was a stake-out in a dark spot waiting for a rape victim rather than targeting a specific victim or “date rape” possibly. Maybe the same “stake out” in 2003 at Christopher Newport? I think that in both cases, the victim was told that LJM would be expelled if she dropped the matter (maybe not directly or verbatim told that but that this was conveyed.)
I reiterate my opinion that first and foremost LJM is a rapist who sometimes murders. I would not be at all surprised if Charlottesville law enforcement has received multiple calls from his rape victims who recognize him from recent photos.
One last personal opinion.
I think that Morgan’s shirt being found SO close to LJM’s place of employment is very telling. I think he is likely either ignorant/ brazen or cocky enough to have tossed the shirt out of his car window near the bush/under the bush where it was found and a “Good Samaritan” placed it unknowingly on the bush or he may have even kept it as a trophy or to wipe his brow or hands with and then decided to drop it on the ground to get rid of it before or after work at the assisted living facility. I think he himself tossed or dropped it to get rid of it after the fact or when he read more “press” describing her shirt and how rare it was.
He may have even tossed it on the bush in the position where it was found himself. I think he was in 2009, before the “sketch” circulated likely stupid/ignorant about the complexities of DNA evidence much in the same way he was recently stupid/ignorant about the cameras on the Charlottesville mall.
Can we assume though that this supposed unknown accomplice is much smarter than JLM? All reports on who JLM is say he is naive, socially inappopriate, slow. I find it hard to believe that such an individual would be purposely placing his victims on historic slavery-related properties in VA to make some sort of statement, without assistance from someone far more clever and historically-astute than he. So I guess I’m on the accomplice bandwagon now.

The information on this site mentions the Carr family bought a farm 5 miles northwest of Charlottesville. Do we know what that property is today? I saw Washington Park in that area.
http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/george-carr
orney-at-law in the local bar on October 10 of the same year. George Carr was well past middle age when he married Melinda Cahoon Carr (1827-1898). They married in February, 1855. A few years later, during the early days of the Civil War, they bought a farm five miles northwest of Charlottesville. During the Revolution Hessian prisoners had been encamped there. It was there that George and Melinda raised their eight children.

Hi,
Does anyone know who Shannon McDaniel is? He posted Monday on Morgan’s FB page, something along the lines of : “Been waiting for this day for years. Name….cleared…
In the early days, everyone was suspicious. Him too. If you read, you’ll find.
everyone was under suspicion
excerpts from the link below
Hugh Carr “was born into slavery between 1840 and 1843 in Virginia. The earliest reference to him comes from records of the First Baptist Church in Charlottesville.”
“…While working for others, Carr began to purchase land of his own in the Ivy Creek area. In 1870 Hugh Carr paid John Shackelford $100 “in part payment for lands sold him”. This 58-acre tract would form the core of what would become River View Farm where the Carr residence was built, and which much later would become the Ivy Creek Natural Area. Hugh Carr continued to add to his farm, acquiring over 125 acres by 1890.”
“…Mr. Carr is buried in the family cemetery at the Ivy Creek Natural Area.”

From Blinks earlier article
On December 15, 1811 George was asked by Lilburne to fetch a pitcher of water believed to belong to his beloved Mother Lucy. He broke it and returned to the plantation, met by the homicidal rage of the Lewis brothers while all the slaves were made to bear witness, lest they had any ideas such behaviors would be tolerated.
Lilburne and Isham drug young George to the main house, gathered all the slaves to watch, and Lilburne buried an axe in George’s neck to the horror of all.

Cassandra Morton’s head was found separated from her body.
Campbell County Sheriff Terry Gaddy said earlier that the head had been found several feet away from the body, but would not speculate whether it was the result of foul play.

George Carr Round, a Union Army Signal Corps veteran and lawyer from New York, perhaps more than any other single person, helped create the town of Manassas. In 1868, after the Civil War, Round decided to seek his fortune in Virginia and settled in Manassas. He quickly became a strong advocate of education and was appointed the town’s first superintendent of public schools. He also served as a member of the Virginia General Assembly, as a charter member of the Manassas Town Council, and as town clerk. Round organized the 1911 National Jubilee of Peace and was an advocate of the Manassas National Battlefield Park. By his death in 1918, Round had become one of the town’s most beloved citizens, known for his encouragement of newcomers. The thriving modern community of Manassas is a living legacy to this gifted man.
I find it quite interesting that Manssas is 33 minutes southwest of Fairfax, and pretty much a straight shot up 29 from Lynchburg, Anchorage Farms, Charlottesville, etc.
Not sure if this article has been shared, but more informative on JMs criminal and family background.

Are you saying the George Carr whose family system was intertwined with Jeffersons (but Carr’s lineage to Hemings was debunked by dna testing), is related to the Hugh Carrs of Ivy Creek?
Posted here years ago and can’t remmeber if my username correct?!?!
I decided to check out LJ’s Facebook friends list and nearly fell out of my chair. Sorry if I sound a bit vague but it is hard to explain without using names. He is friends with someone that has spent a lot of time on Anchorage Farm because she happens to have been(or may still be) very close friends with JB and the man she married. As in Facebook at the time pointed to her as being one of her best friends. Back when I was Morgan sleuthing(aka Facebook stalking) she frequently referenced Anchorage Farms.
Charlottesville/Albemarle in a lot of ways is still a pretty insular community. JM went to 12 years of school in the area, was a star athlete in high school, and may be related to a prominent black family in the area. If he had any kind of juvenile record (and I strongly suspect that to be the case), you can be sure a lot of people in the community knew about it. What does that mean in terms of potential accomplices?

Carr Family History >> Daily Progress: Nature Preserve is Ex-Slave’s Legacy
The following is an article Copyright © 1982 by Robert Brickhouse, published in The Daily Progress newspaper (Charlottesville, Virginia) on September 12, 1982.
Nature Preserve: Ex-Slave’s Legacy
by Robert Brickhouse
“I think Hugh Carr would approve,” the woman said as she strolled around the old farm’s overgrown fields and wooded hills.
Hugh Carr was a slave. In the years after the Civil War, sharecropping and raising six children, he managed to buy enough land to start a family farm that, in the next generation, became known as a model in Albemarle County for the agricultural methods used there.
Now it belongs to the people of Albemarle and Charlottesville. As the Ivy Creek Natural Area, a 215-acre preserve on Hydraulic Road, it will be left undisturbed, protected from encroaching development, forever.
Hugh Carr couldn’t read or write. “He didn’t have any education but he was determined that all his children would go to college, even though they had to work their way through,” recalled Mrs. Evangeline Greer Jones, a retired administrator at Fish University in Nashville, who is the last of Hugh Carr’s descendants to have been born and raised on the farm. Her mother – Mary Carr Greer, Hugh Carr’s daughter – was a longtime Albemarle school principal.
Mrs. Jones left Albemarle and the farm in the 1930s when she married, but came back often for visits until her mother died and the farm was sold in 1973.
In Charlottesville with her husband last week, she poked around the old barn, sampled the fruit of a heavily-laden pear tree and – carrying a camera and looking like any other visitor – walked along the trails that lead into the woods.
Hugh Carr’s grave stands by the old house at the entrance to the nature preserve. Born ca. 1843, he was Mrs. Jones’s grandfather.
Next to Hugh Carr’s grave are the graves of Mrs. Jones’s parents. Mary Carr Greer (1884-1973), for whom the nearby Albemarle elementary school is named, and Conly Greer (1883-1956), an agricultural extension agent who was eventually to make a showplace of the farm.
* * *
Faded documents in the Alderman Library manuscript room at the University of Virginia tell something of the story.
In a cardboard filing box, under a section labeled “Carr business papers, 1866-1907,” among a handful of torn receipts for purchases from stores and mills, are scraps of paper signed with Hugh Carr’s “X – his seal.” (image) They are for work done for various whites in the area in return for money, food and crops.
Less than four years after the Civil War was over: “The said undersigned agrees to labor for A.A. Sutherland for one year commencing January 1, 1869 and ending December 31, 1869.” (transcription) In return, Hugh Carr received shares of tobacco, wheat, oats, corn, hay, fodder and potatoes.
In one lengthy contract he is glimpsed working as a farm manager, in charge of all details of farm work for a J.R. Wingfield, and promising “to manage the hired hands, to have and require them to do their duty, to see that all hands are in place for work at the proper time and that they do their work well and faithfully.”
By 1870 Hugh Carr had in hand a receipt for $100 – representing “part payment for land sold him.” He didn’t stop there. By 1889, according to a title search filed among the Carr family papers, the one-time slave had bought more than 200 acres along Ivy Creek through a string of purchases of various tracts.
Nevertheless, Hugh Carr’s family always “was a poor family. Sometimes they all went barefooted,” Mrs. Jones said. “But they always had enough to feed the children and send them to school.”
Hugh Carr’s wife, Texie M. Hawkins Carr, died in 1899, leaving him with six girls to raise. Mary Carr – Mrs. Jones’s mother and oldest of the six – had to help run the family.
Although her grandfather had no formal education, Mrs. Jones said he was determined that the six daughters go to college. They all attended Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, now Virginia State College, in Petersburg. To finance their education, they had to work at the college and in the summers as maids in places as far away as Atlantic City.
Mrs. Jones’s husband, Hinton C. Jones, a retired English teacher at Tennessee State University, also heard the Carr and Greer family stories. One thing that struck in his mind, he said was that “Hugh Carr was a great disciplinarian. He was very strict.”
Hugh Carr’s daughters called him “Pa,” Jones said. “And they always said, ‘When Pa spoke – you listened.’”
Hugh Carr died in 1913. Mrs Carr, who married Conly Greer, an agricultural extension agent from North Carolina whom she met at college, inherited a portion of the land and the original house.
The house, expanded and covered with stucco, today is occupied by the nature preserve’s caretaker. Mrs. Jones, who has lived in Nashville since 1946, was the Greer’s only child.
While Mary Carr Greer educated generations of black children as the principal of Albemarle Training School from 1930 to 1950, Conley Greer carried on Hugh Carr’s farming tradition, buying additional land when he could and using the place to demonstrate the farming methods he taught in his job.
“In those days they worshipped the land,” Jones recalled of his father-in-law. “They put a big value on the land. That’s how they fed their children.” As a county agricultural extension agent, Conly Greer “practiced what he preached,” Jones said.
And although those were days of segregation, whites as well as blacks would often come to talk about farming with the black extension agent, Mrs. Jones recalled.
James R. Butler, a Keswick farmer who replaced Conly Greer when he retired as extension agent and who is now retired himself, remembers that Greer always carefully rotated crops and paid strict attention to soil and water conservation in planning his fields.
“He laid them out in strips so the soil didn’t wash away. All of the things he did are still considered good farming practices,” said Butler, who learned his job from Greer and often visited the farm.
“He was very proud of what he grew,” said Mrs. Jones. “He always had a model garden. Sometimes Dad would say, ‘Come on this evening, I want you to go over and see the corn.’ He’d have a nice lot of corn or wheat or something, and he’d want you to go see it.”
Her father was a tall man, Mrs. Jones said, but his corn always grew much taller than he stood. He plowed the land with a horse until he go a tractor in the 1950s, only a few years before he died, she said.
The farm produced almost all the food the family needed, Mrs. Jones added. There were milk cows, hogs, chickens and an apple orchard in addition to vegetables and wheat, which went to the mill for flour.
Despite the prominent positions of her parents in the black community, times were not always easy when she was growing up on the farm in the 1920s and 30s, Mrs. Jones said. Her mother’s pay as principal of Albemarle Training School in the early 1930s was about $69 a month, she said.
And her father, in addition to traveling from farm to farm during daylight hours as extension agent, would often get up at 3 a.m. and drive a wagon several miles to downtown Charlottesville to earn money hauling garbage. He would work on his own farm until after dark. “Mama would look out and see Daddy coming with a lantern through the fields and say, “Well, I can put dinner on the table.”
After her father died, Mary Carr Greer ran the farm with hired help for several years following her retirement in 1958, Mrs. Jones said. But eventually she was able to manage it less and less. “She would write and say she had to get rid of some of the hogs, or some of the chickens.”
After Mary Carr Greer died, the Joneses sold the land they inherited. There was no one left in the Carr and Greer families who farmed anymore, Mrs. Jones said. Her own four children – the great grandchildren of Hugh Carr, the farmer who couldn’t write his name – all were pursuing graduate degrees.
After a tangled court case between Albemarle County and a developer over whether a subdivision could be built on the land adjacent to the Rivanna Reservoir, Hugh Carr’s old farm was eventually purchased by Charlottesville and Albemarle with the aid of a federal grant and the Nature Conservancy, a non-profit preservation group.
Now fields have grown into trees, the orchards have all but disappeared. Now, at the city’s expanding edge, the farm is home for a wide variety of wildlife, flowers and trees.
“I’m glad to see it like it is,” Mrs. Jones said. “Even though I had to sell it, I think my parents would be glad to see that it’s turned out as it has.
“I’m very much pleased to know that people can come and visit.”

Emancipation and the breakup of the plantation system at the end of the War in 1865 was a watershed event in rural Piedmont Virginia.

Notice how thick and big his head is, he might be packing more brain cells than we think.he might be ‘guided by voices’ .I think he should donate his brain to Dr. Harrington for research .he might be to mental illness ,what Henrietta lacks was to cancer cells .
Lyndsay says: October 4, 2014 at 2:03
Totally agree Lyndsay. I’ve been thinking pretty much the same thing, trying to decide if I thought he was shrewd enough for the placement of the bodies to have any historical meaning. I was leaning towards no.
Why would shrewd come into play?

Ode
Your links about Dean Correl bring back memories of the daily articles in the Houston Chronicle. There was a lot more to the case than is reported in your links.
I had an office where I could look out of the South window and see the boat shed where several of the boys were buried. There were two rows of sheds with the front facing on the service road to US 59.
I would not say that the Bolivar peninsula and the Crystal Beach area are out in the boonies. The hwy is State 87 with quite a bit of traffic towards High Island and route 124 to Winnie. Just why JM decided to camp there makes no real sense unless he had some historical reason like the pirates.
Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but I’m pretty sure JL’s mother’s maiden name is Carr. I think her name is Debra Carr.
Hey Blinksters- Hannah Graham’s parents just released a video pleading for help in finding Hannah. You can find it on Help Find Hannah Graham Facebook- I have already shared it on pinterest. Please share the video and pass it on…
We all know this nightmare needs to end so if anyone that knows where she is or any tips-do the right thing and call the tip line.
I spent several hours last night looking at the Charlottesville area using Google Earth with the idea of where would be some places that Hanna could be found.
There is a sports complex North of hwy 250 with a football field and two baseball or softball fields. Bordering this area to the North is a lake. There are roads around the lake that would make it easy access. With JM still involved with football, he probably is familiar with this area.
I hope that LE is busy interviewing his friends regarding the areas where JM often hung out or visited.
Why would shrewd come into play?
B
Sorry Blink. Maybe I used the wrong word. I really just meant not smart or knowledgeable enough regarding the very early history of that area.
“Somebody listening to me today either knows where Hannah is, or knows someone who has that information. We appeal to you to come forward and tell us where Hannah can be found.” statement from Susan Graham today.
I always assume, perhaps incorrectly, that when parents release statements such as this, they have been guided by LE and the words chosen very carefully. These words seem to indicate what many on here have said about an additional person being involved. Is it possible that there is more than one “helper?” Could he have convinced someone back in 2009 that Morgan died as a result of an accident and out of loyalty, someone helped him? Then, recently could he have convinced a different person to help him with Hannah (I really hate going there but at this point, it is hard not to) by telling him/her that Hannah died accidentally? He could assume that those two people would never talk to each other as long as he didn’t get caught.
Lyndsay says:
October 4, 2014 at 2:03 am
That’s where I’m at.
I don’t think shrewd is it, if there is a statement being made it seems like an odd statement from the personality described as JM. Again pointing to involvement of someone else. However I suppose it is just as possible that JM could come up with this with a computer and a little free time. When I add in the location of Morgan, it seems as though if there is no 2nd person helping, someone sure as hell knew JM would dump there.
Dear Friends,
Two weeks from today, in Charlottesville, Virginia, I foresee an important gathering. We have profound reason to gather. Today, I’m asking you to consider joining us.
Please be aware that on October 17th, rain or shine (time, to be announced), we will be holding a press conference and media event in Charlottesville, Virginia, on the Copley Bridge behind the JPJ Arena, where Morgan Harrington was last seen alive in 2009. This year is the 5th anniversary of Morgan’s abduction and murder. WE WANT TO STAND WITH THE HARRINGTONS TO MAKE A PROFOUND STATEMENT AGAINST VIOLENCE.
We anticipate that the Bridge will possibly be blocked off to traffic, and we are hoping for a tremendous swell and gathering of support. Parking is available behind JPJ Arena.
We will have colored chalk to use and we hope to decorate the sidewalk with messages and designs of support for Morgan and Hannah and Alexis and all our missing and murdered girls. If you make signs in advance or have prayer flags, please bring them. We take over the space respectfully and make a HUGE VISUAL STATEMENT of love and support.
Consider laminating or taping over any posters so that they have a chance to be rainproof for at least a few days. Use your imagination. Bring balloons, artificial flowers, glitter–let’s make this place shine like our girls. Morgan’s favorite color was purple; Hannah’s is orange; Alexis’, pink. Wear their colors.
Again, we expect large media coverage and I know that the Harringtons, after five grueling years, would appreciate your and your friends’ presence if it is possible for you to be there.
Dan and Gil Harrington have changed the way we all see the relationship between law enforcement, victims’ families and friends and communities, and social media. Let’s use this 5th-year October 17th to THANK THEM. We are thanking law enforcement and the community as well. We are collaborators. This event is a bold positive message to celebrate our collaboration.
To any family members or friends who have lost loved ones to violence, we honor you all that day. Come with your signs and posters and your voices and your presence.
Thanks for putting your compassion into action. I hope to see and meet many of you there.
It is impossible not to say that this year we gather with deep and recent wounds from not having Alexis Murphy and Hannah Graham with us.
We honor them and Morgan, Sage, Cassandra, Bonnie, Pherbia, Samantha, Lauren, Janet, and unfortunately others this October 17th.
If you can not attend and would like to send a handwritten message of support, please use permanent black Sharpie marker and mail your letters and prayers to me. We will hang them on Morgan’s Bridge, and your good wishes will be present with us like hand-made prayer flags that day. Please include your hometown, state, or country, so that we can see clearly how Help Save the Next Girl has impacted our entire world.
In advance, THANK YOU. Thank you for making our movement an outcry heard round the world. Thank you for teaching your children that violence is an aberration. Thank you for being part of this re-enchantment of community. THANK YOU for holding up the families who have suffered these grievous atrocities.

I have been trying to find out online whether Hugh Carr’s father Thomas was a slave owned by one of the many Carrs in the area, all closely or distantly related. Hugh was born a slave on the Wingfield plantation but his father may not have been. Website says he took the sir name Carr. He named himself after his father, in other words. But where did his father get HIS name?
JM is angry, violent, misogynistic, and he appears to target non-AA women. He has been smart enough to cover his trail and to keep his DNA out of the data bank. But does that make his actions related in any conscious or pointed way to local slave history, or possibly to his own family’s history (Carr-Lewis)? What does he know–beyond the obvious–of that history? He might know something through family oral history, of course. Could it be this simple: He’s a violent predator who knows the land around Albemarle very well, he recalls or scopes out places that will come in handy later (as serial killers are known to do), and he goes to them when he attacks and kills. And maybe he does not have time to bury his victims.
I guess we’ll find some of this out eventually.
Smart enough until now!
Has anyone seen this website? I don’t recall seeing it before! http://www.uvavictimsofrape.com
the way I read it, Hugh worked on a year to year indenture agreement
http://vimeo.com/m/107998355
an act of LE genius to put brave Mrs Graham in front of
cameras with an appeal to the person with direct knowledge of her
location, coupled with the reward, and appealing as a broken
in Southern families, imo one’s teeth is cut from childhood
in old stories & locations, likely
he got many stories from Grandma Carr.
These often center on
plantation, slavery, relations, and faded glory.
Everyone has family legends.
My own were Marshall Hall Md
and included slave ownership.
There were scads of properties
(need not be a mansion)
and heritage stories in VA
of families’ rise and falls.
My thought was maybe a friend, accomplice or facebook friend has some sort of connection to the area and suggested he head there. If it were an accomplice, perhaps it was to have LE on JM’s tail while the other destroyed evidence and hid the body? Maybe I just watch too much tv.
I spent the afternoon reading about the Lewis’ and Meriwethers etc in Virginia. There was a Lewis Farm in Charlottesville at 1201 Jefferson Street. I believe there was a cemetery there at one time. I hope the area around this place has been checked. http://people.virginia.edu/~mjb6g/LewisHouse/nicolaslewishouse.htm
Do we know when and how he lost the front fender of his burnt orange car? Who has his car now? VSP? FBI?
Susanm
In response to your post regarding how JM managed to abduct Morgan and whether or not VSP questioned him. We don’t know what the process included in that case as VSP kept everything to themselves. They did interact from time to time with the Harringtons, but very little was made public.
If as you state, the bus from the out of town game returned to the lot where Morgan’s purse was found with the possibility that some cabs or private cars were in the lot waiting, then I would have placed a request to every cab company that all their drivers needed to be interviewed. Maybe VSP did that, but it was not conveyed to the public.
The problem in this case begins with the behavior at Liberty University and then the other college regarding JM. Somehow the public must convey to schools that any sexual assault is a major crime with the appropriate LE authorities required to be brought in to investigate. Further, that failing to do that, major penalties will be assessed to the school and its administration as well as full exposure of how unsafe their campus has become.
The next thing that must be done is to teach boys and girls how to be ladies and gentlemen with respect for one another. The current ugly behavior culture in the youth media teaches just the opposite. Some of the stage shows currently being performed by those like Miley Cyrus would have required a special license with restrictions to age 21 and over when I was a young man. Furthermore, the audience would have been small.
paragr 2 & so on is interesting

I am trying to understand Mathew’s thinking from the moment he
picked her up as related to location.
She? (gasp)

The forced sale of Biscuit Run due to David Breeden’s original will was a disaster to its purchasers including Hometown crooner Dave Matthews.

Olivia, nice to see back I was wondering where if you’d show up.,I remember you expressing ,how it always felt creepy in the arena parking lot, do you ever remember taxi’s around much. Taxi’s park and hang out.i wonder if the arena lot was one his spots .he was driving an Aaccess taxi ‘VAN’ 2 months before Morgan’s assault, SO ,I think, means that was his employer, they’re records would show whether he was on duty Oct.17.would ,and his ride times, or if he fudged his ride times. Could the van access close enough to anchfarm and then he carried her, or did he switch cars .does he turn the van in at the end shift or does he drive it home. as a farm family boy he has to know how personal to put a dead body on a families farmland, and if he knew Jennie bates bf, even more personal.
Ah, THE Dave Matthews? Never mind.
What about his father’s linage. mary/tango, are you here reading . Don’t you do genealogy as a hobby.
So horrible this man wasn’t caught and imprisoned for his early rapes in college, before he escalated into murders…
…”His college career took a sharp wrong turn in his junior year, when a fellow student accused Matthew of raping her. Matthew withdrew from Liberty on Oct. 17, 2002″
…”Morgan Dana Harrington of Roanoke, Virginia (July 24, 1989 – October 17, 2009) was a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student who disappeared from the John Paul Jones Arena on October 17, 2009″

…”On Sept. 7, 2003, a fellow student accused him of sexual assault on the Newport News campus. Five days after the attack, Matthew dropped off the team roster; a month later, he was gone.”
*So about Sept 12-13 he dropped off the roster..
…”18-year-old British-born Hannah Graham disappeared on Sept. 13″

I’m sure there are way more dates that match up with other victims…
