glamourkitty, where does there seem to be another victim? Do you mean the fairfax victim from 2005 (who was not killed), or are you referring to something else?

I completely agree. Stranger on stranger crimes are really hard to solve. My only current hope is that Barboursville Food Lion manager just arrested for abduction with intent to defile. Maybe he was hanging out with the dude in the sketch that night. (Ok, longshot, but people have long...

If you trust the scent dogs, you should know that they agree with the multiple witnesses who saw her hitch hiking on the bridge. They place her there, and as you said, possibly found her scent towards Foods of All Nations. But her scent did not double-back to the parking lot where her belongings...

Could be, and I'm sure they're certainly HOPING for a tip like that, but I doubt they would have missed it the first go-round, whereas they could have missed a tip that said "I saw her at xx party" or "I gave her a ride to such and such a place." j I worry that not a soul suspects the person...

I think Rader his hoping that someone other than the bad guy picked her up hitch hiking and took her to use drugs or something, then left her there, and would be able to tell the cops where he took her.

Wow, LLLindsayy, you sure were right there! I bet it was chilling. You wouldn't have been able to see her field from the road -- it's kind of tucked away inside the property, from all reports. Nice pics! Thanks for sharing.

Interesting theory, hambone1480, but I'm not sure his age squares with it. The perp was already described as 25-35 in the 2005 attack; that would make him already at or beyond graduate level, so I can't imagine what he'd be doing at UVA four years later. George Mason U is a real school, but...

That Saieed rape-suspect is probably too young to be our guy.

And I don't think he necessarily had to overpower her in the car or snatch her phone. The evidence may suggest she simply dropped her phone in the lot. In the car, maybe he punched her in the head right off the bat completely disabling her, maybe she was so drunk and high she passed out on her...

So nowhere have we seen a time indicated when the cell phone became disconnected from its battery. The Hook doesn't attempt to say that. Presumably this is known; maybe it isn't for sure. We DO know she was seen dropping the phone in the lot, and that her father said it was common for the...

I think he's going to turn out to be an ordinary black dude, not anything fancy. He's not going to be a policeman or security guard or fireman or EMT -- he's just going to be a disappointingly stereotypical black rapist. A real letdown from the fanciful theories out there back when we thought...

It's amazing how many murders and disappearances go unsolved. Stranger on stranger crime is more difficult; the more easily solvable crimes have motives and suspects (people who are known to each other; people who were seen arguing, etc.). My cville friends are sometimes annoyed by the...

Clarabelle, others definitely share your sentiments. It's tricky to express them because there's often the knee jerk reaction we saw even here -- "Hey! Quit hating on the Harringtons!" or "Quit blaming the victim!" or "Gil has every right to do whatever she wants to -- she's mourning." I get...

Could be, Phantom. The place where the first victim was attacked is not that close to George Mason, but it's not tremendously far. But...not tremendously close, either. I can see drugs being involved in Morgan's case moreso than with the first victim, though. Not sure what to make of the...

Her poetry is part of her grieving process. She chooses to do it publicly, which must mean she wants or welcomes reactions or at least is game for them, or else she'd do it privately. And all reactions are valid. It's all good.

All my friends in Charlottesville say: Thank god, where've you been Clarabelle!? Finally some frank speaking. They hope you'll get your message out more broadly where it can be heard.

Ah, or worse -- she was guilty of just being a woman. Perhaps John Lennon was right in his provocatively named song,"Woman is the [N word] of the World." Women are the eternal second class citizen, to some.

Can you elaborate on #6?

Well, I'm not sure about that. Gil gives a few reasons for filing. And would like to put that $3.5M to good use. And they do seem to be blaming RMC events for her death. Contributory negligence will likely mean that they won't see a dime, but if they're just after answers, they won't mind. Gil...
