Sorry for the really long post. Trying to catch up. You guys have been busy. I really appreciate all of the questions. It helps us try to shoot down the theory. Gimme some more!

[FONT=&]In the particular pasture where Harrington was found, the grass had been at least knee-high, Bass said. He saw the remains because he was on a tractor, several feet off the ground, he said.
Bass initially thought the body was a deer, but when he saw what appeared to be a human skull, along with fingers and toes, he knew he had to call police, he said.[/FONT]
Walker, I do not consider a media source any sort of excellent fact. In this case particularly the media – both internet blogs and MSM have misreported repeatedly. This statement by Bass above from wsls is not in quotes and is the ONLY source to have said anything about fingers and toes. I don’t believe it. Besides, she was completely skeletonized. At best he saw finger and toe BONES which are very small and not connected with any ligaments or tissue in a skeletonized body.
The photos are from Jesse Cantelope's Anchorage Farm album. Maybe you could ask someone else to pull them up for you on their log-in. Not sure why it asks you 2x though.
According to your theory, what was DC's role? And why didn't AM & SS show signs of having struggled with MH? Would every sighting that evening then be wrong? And how would AM & SS gain? Wouldn't the Harrintons have picked up bad vibes from AM, their daughter's roommate, if she were a killer?
I have seen these pictures. Morgan is not in them. I do know why I am asked 2X for my password.
I think DC rode to Cville with the girls to meet his girlfriend who was there for whatever reason. I think he may have attended the concert but with her and separate from Morgan and her friends.
The friends didn’t show signs of a struggle because a gun was used. I think she was shot in the left eye. Yes every sighting that evening was either incorrect or made up. Since you are unfamiliar with the Caylee Anthony case I will tell you that there were HUNDREDS of sightings that LE and the FBI pursued. NOT ONE SINGLE ONE was correct or true in the slightest way. If Caylee’s bones had not been found, they would still be chasing down these sightings. Here is some interesting info on the unreliability of eyewitnesses. By the way, what color shirt did you wear 3 days ago? How about your spouse or a friend? Sorry, eyewitnesses cannot do this with any accuracy.
This is wiki:
Eyewitness identification evidence is the leading cause of
wrongful conviction in the United States. Of the more than 200 people exonerated by way of DNA evidence in the US, over 75% were wrongfully convicted on the basis of erroneous eyewitness identification evidence.
[1] In England, the Criminal Law Review Committee, writing in 1971, stated that cases of mistaken identification "constitute by far the greatest cause of actual or possible wrong convictions".
[2] Yet despite substantial anecdotal and scientific support for the proposition that eyewitness testimony is often unreliable, it is held in high regard by jurors in criminal trials, even when "far outweighed by evidence of innocence."
[3] In the words of former US Supreme Court Justice
William J. Brennan, there is "nothing more convincing [to a jury] than a live human being who takes the stand, points a finger at the defendant, and says 'That's the one!'"

Snip:
At the same time, numerous psychological studies have shown that human beings are not very good at identifying people they saw only once for a relatively short period of time. The studies reveal error rates of as high as fifty percent — a frightening statistic given that many convictions may be based largely or solely on such testimony.
These studies show further that the ability to identify a stranger is diminished by stress (and what crime situation is not intensely stressful?), that cross-racial identifications are especially unreliable, and that contrary to what one might think, those witnesses who claim to be "certain" of their identifications are no better at it than everyone else, just more confident.
From Ladybug:
I am one who firmly believes that all aspects should be explored. So without sounding dense, I have trouble piecing together the friends are the killers’ aspect. Who knew Jenny Bass and Jesse Cantelope? (If the girl seen in the drawing was in fact Morgan). Who knew Anchorage Farms? I agree that her friends could have been jealous of Morgan. Most girls are at some point or another. Who went back to C’ville to plant the shirt? Can any of her friends be tied to the LAX player that turned in Morgan’s purse the following morning? Who would have thought to take the shirt from her purse, before she was even reported missing? Which one of the friends owns a gun?
Very good questions Ladybug. So far the only connection I can find to AF is the mushrooms. I don’t know if Morgan or the friends knew JB or JC. The shirt was found 3 days prior to a big planned and highly publicized search. I am thinking SS planted it but no way to be sure. No, her friends can’t be tied to the LAX player that turned in MH’s purse the next day that I can find. Who would have thought to take the shirt from her purse, before she was even reported missing? She had a bag of clothes in her car. Remember Gil talking about taking it out and repacking it with comfortable clothes to take with her to the police station when they find her? If Morgan changed shirts, she would have put it back in that bag – in the car – right side out – with her DNA on it. I have no idea which friends own a gun. Lots of people own guns, have family with guns, can get their hands on a gun fairly easily.
