Got my inner cynic (the size of Nevada) going. Her dad's a point MD for a branch of UVA Med, so he's in a precarious position regarding how much he takes public. Also he has to balance his daughter's confidentiality with a public need-to-know. He may have told LE more than he's telling us...

I think the case will turn back to these basic questions at some point. The missing piece is at the beginning, not on a door handle a week later. C6

The fact they came away empty after a weird search (from pickup door handle to woods by a motel a week out??) may mean they're grasping. Unfortunately since the time elapsed is now a week, there are going to be blonde girl sightings everywhere for a while. Increased resources with FBI will...

Right, ASAP discard for a certain subset of impulse or serial killers. Others have preferred hidden dumping grounds (ugh). Makes me wonder why they called off the local search so soon. Although there is probably pressure from UVA to keep this low profile as some noted. C6

Don't have a feel for how good VASP is with this. They aren't overwhelming with their command of the situation. They have released contradictory information about the car and the friends' waiting and don't seem to be involving the media as fully as they could in an early-on suspicious...

The factoids are beginning to add some context. Even if one discounts some of the reports, Morgan's situation was more vulnerable than we first believed: 1: Stumbling, dropping her purse. 2: Agitated, hostile. 3. One report of a verbal/physical altercation, another of her face having...

Thought about the same thing with her getting ill so fast. But GHB wouldn't have let her recover fast enough to be coherent and trying to re-enter. Also she had people with her probably old enough to buy for her. So now I'm thinking more a light drinker who overindulged and panicked. C6

OK. I'll try a run with that prompt: She's in her own car, but not the DD, so free to indulge. She leaves her friends feeling more sick than they realize. LE doesn't say she's normal at this point, just able to move around and communicate (same can be said of the Hoff rolling around on the...

Nice noodling. Ergo the guy, if he exists, probably goes to JMU or has close ties there so a trip back to her car would be easy for him. Maybe the locked-out meme was part of the plan and she and X intended to head back toward JMU even while the concert was continuing. Under that scenario...

Thanks. This pretty much sums up all our conversations on this thread about the car. LE is keeping this fuzzy for a reason and you're right, who came in the car, who left in (or came to pick up)the car, and when they left (or picked up the car) is very important. Just because LE says something...

Hmmm. West, are you still up?? C6

Thanks. That's an unusual tidbit to add unrequested. It's obviously a message to someone whom LE would think has relevant knowledge of the purse and the area. I'll have to sleep on it. C6

Right. Some of the bad missing cases start out with tight info release and let tips loose so slowly the public interest wanes and memories fade. Jennifer Kesse and Maura Murray come to mind as slow/no tip investigations. Seems the really sophisticated and successful investigators use the media...

I hope they do, because I can piece together very little from the tidbits. The trick will be transforming their knowledge into a safe Morgan. Then I'll be impressed. Be safe. C6

Their leaving in her car makes the most sense. I had seen in early reports the car had been "left" in the arena parking lot but the reports didn't say for how long. We discussed early on how the friends left the area if not in the car they came in and reached no good conclusion. Just seems...

Just letting my brain slip and slide a little before I squeeze the juice out of their statements, some of which may be disinformation. Interesting idea of not wanting her friends to see her if she had been in a dust-up. C6

Right, I think LE's trying to play someone, but who's being shined? If there's a perp, he/she's not going to fall for it. If it's code to a runaway Morgan (We know you've booked and we're telling your friends you're OK in LE code by shooshing them to get on with their lives), it's a strange...

West: Sorry if I missed the source, but where did you see that the friends ultimately left in Morgan's car?? That someone else had her keys wouldn't be surprising if that person drove. What would be surprising is if they ultimately left in Morgan's car after waiting for her, indicating they...

That's how I've been taking the news about the car: It's Morgan's and was left behind as the others found some way home, or at least away from the arena area. Who drove becomes relevant only if the driver wasn't Morgan and kept the keys, which would explain why Morgan didn't go back and hang...

If LE wanted the details out before now, they could have done so. They feel some advantage in keeping the situation murky at this juncture and the presser may help us sort out both the details and what was to be gained by the lack of clarity. It will be around 90 hours missing by the time the...
