I read the family’s website regularly. Today (although dated 23 January) Morgan’s mother, Gil posted a very scathing blog entry. In it she unloaded on the City of Charlottesville and in a more subtle way, the local police department. If you recall, just over a week ago the Harrington’s were in C’ville to meet with the director of the CUE organization to announce plans for an upcoming large scale search. In the interview they gave to the local press they praised the efforts of all police departments involved. Today, she seems to have a different slant on things. She makes inference to the fact that C’ville is more worried about its reputation than people who go missing from there. Without putting words into her mouth she would seem to be under the impression that a specific someone was involved with her daughter’s disappearance. As to her comment about the predator being “still there in November”, I have no idea what is meant by that. Mrs. Harrington has always been a woman of both grace and strength through all of this. Evident by this blog entry is the tremendous amount of strain both she and Dr. Harrington must be feeling. These words reflect a woman who wants answers. Who needs answers. A woman that is frustrated beyond what any of us who haven’t been through this can comprehend; A mom who loves her daughter very much. And a mom who is very afraid for her loved one. Please remember the family in your prayers.

My take on Gil's blog was that it was toned towards the perp/his or her family/friends, and the possibility that the perp may come from money.
If the perp comes from a wealthy family, or is a politicians son, (for example), there may be cause to be discreet as to who he is. Politics.
Not to mention someone that wealthy would hire the best lawyer they could get.
(Jan 23rd entry Gil Harrington FindMorgan.com) Whose reputation is being protected?
LE has to make sure they have an airtight case against the perp and right now they don't have a body. I hate to say this however it is true, a high society lawyer possibly could get the perp off. LE may want to be making sure that they have an excellent case, one that a defense lawyer can't get their client off on. LE would want to send this guy away.
Look at the reward money $150,000; huge sum, they aren't seeking someone who is very poor.
While she may be getting frustrated with the time it is taking and LE, which is understandable, if there is a possibility the perp is some politicians son, then LE wants to have a good case against him.
I was wondering if the perp is a UVA student, someone from one of the colleges around that area that Morgan may have come into contact with.
Gil mentioning that the perp was "still there in November"; that is very interesting. My guess would be that he is still out on the streets.
My question is, who is responsible for downplaying Morgan's abduction? LE or reporters who refuse to do articles on Morgan as she is "yesterday's news"?
C'ville, like many other colleges town like to sweep dirt under the rug and forget about things quickly, as god forbid parents are afraid to send their kids to college there. Crimes can and will happen anywhere, no matter large city or small town.
