JLM: Morgan Harrington/Fairfax Rape Victim - *Forensic Link* to MH

[katinva]

I knew it, I knew it!! I could just easily see his face in that sketch. This is so bittersweet. Bless the Harringtons for starting Save the Next Girl, which IMO helped get Hannahs case national attention.

IT'S A MATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JM's FORENSICS LINKED TO HARRINGTON CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how many other missing persons that he is connected to. I don't think this is over by any means.

If Morgan was the only one found of many, unless he confesses, Hannah may never be found. Jmo

For everyone saying they're shocked and didn't expect it... I'm with ya! I am totally shocked.
My instincts really suck...

 

[cluciano63]

Can someone rename this particular thread to add "DNA Match". I just want to see it in BIG Letters when I visit Hannah's forum.

Where is Hannah?

We don't know yet if they have DNA, do we? Just "forensics", so far?

 

[Le Singe]

ok but I think you misunderstood me. I was referring to the warrant to search his apartment. The got it after they saw the car but before they searched it.

sorry i did misunderstand.

IDK i was kinda thinking the link was only DNA, but what you are saying is entirely possible!

 

[bessie]

MOD NOTE: If/when we get official word from LE of a DNA match, we'll note it in the thread title.

Yes, and they show he had some sort of contact with MH... I hope it's better evidence than what they're making it sound like.

 

[SolVol]

I'm actually happy for Morgan's family... they've been waiting for this for a very long time.

What a classy, loving, generous people the Harringtons are! They turned their tragedy into a vehicle to help other parents and to prevent other victims. I'm so happy for them.

 

[Xara]

Hopefully this revelation will make his family/friends give up any info they may have been holding back and help find Hannah.

Ahhhhh! -- a sigh of relief, among the sobs of grief.

 

[Le Singe]

I think DNA came off MH t-shirt which was found on a bush in front of an apartment right down the street from where HG's apartment was. He either threw the shirt there to throw off cops or raped and killed MH right outside that apartment behind those bushes which is really ballsy. In the 2005 sexual assault the girl was grabbed from behind right off the street and taken into a backyard or something.

i thought the same thing but several people have posted stuff in the last 48 hours where it was reported that they found his DNA on her remains.

 

[Elley Mae]

OK Some things I am reading it is saying that the cases are connected. I am missing the part that he is connected. I am waiting for LE to say it.
