------------The stuff blocked off is a bit old/repeat a bit of other posters' ideas------------------------------------------
I've been reading the postings for days now. Since some of the facts go back and forth, I will try and throw out a coherent scenario (I wonder if the person who took her, assuming, reads these and uses the info to stay ahead of LE?)
Anyway, we know she gets to the arena, and is overly friendly. I think she is either naturally like that or on something. After they get inside, maybe they get free drinks? not sure. But if you look in findmorgan.com someone posted that they saw her taking pictures of people in her section, then later they saw her fall from a certain height, and breaks/busts her nose. The report says she was stoned completely and looked separated from her group.
I bet her whole group was stoned at this point, or they were somehow disoriented. This fits with the other report of a lady seeing someone in the bathroom (fitting description) crying, looking like she was hit in the face. So now, Morgan is stoned and most likely suffering froma concussion, and listening to death metal. If it was me, yeah, Id be in the bathroom at least, and more liekly out the door.
I think at first, she figured, she'd wait for her friends to come get her before Metallic started or something. She may have possibly been flush/feverish initially outside. She mite have texted them at first. Also, she may have tried to get in several times. OR told them, she was gonna wait at the car, at first, then realized she forgot the keys too.
So she waits on the steps of the arena. Why wait there, unless you expect your friends to come out. But they didnt, and she may have been thinking they were jerks for not stickin together. (someone tell me why they mention she bought more than one ticket, and who got the other ticket). It may also be during the time she is waiting, multiple guys have now passed her, and maybe some have been jerks. So when the couple, at the 9;30 approach, she's already crashing from the high, has been offended, by her friends and strangers, and she is definitey cold (my fingers would be numb).
So she figures/tells one person she's either gonna go wait somewher til the concert is over, and tell them where to pick her up, or maybe she'll come back to the car? Maybe she says she ll find someone to give her a ride--maybe to the train station? Not knowing it was already closed. Maybe she called a cab?
At this point, around 10ish, for me the details are fuzzy. IF the grandma's report is true, maybe someone was like yeah come with me, and at first she was like "WTF, ok, i cant just stay here." But at some point the dude reveals his intentions, and she's at least like F-u, and he's still tryin to help her out, and/or help himself out?
She may still have a concussion, assuming the fall-part was true and significant.And with , assumably now number fingers, she may be dropping the purse over and over (as someone reported seeing). So I think, she may be looking for either: a woman/girl for help, or someone with her school colors (good point to who made this), a couple, several dudes (somehow sometimes girls think nothing will happen if there are several dude?), or some ol' man who she has seen before or looks like he has a kind face.
I think maybe someone saw her and was like I'm gonna get somethin tonite. If she's dropped her purse already, wearing a Pantera shirt, maybe they think she wasnt at the concert, just hangin around for some reason? Also, she is alone, and presumably stoned, so maybe no one will miss her, or she's homeless, etc? Not sure about this. But Im sure almost anyone could say, "hey, ill solve your problem. the one your closest childhood friends didn't." "you can trust me, here look, i'm trustworhy because.insert any lie, such as I'm going to pick up my wife/gf...
I think after that point, maybe the concussion was in full effect? maybe they gave her drugs/alcohol to make it even more easy, and she had a reaction. Or theperson was on the prowl from the begnning?
I still don;t understand the RV part. What do people park there at that time of nite? Could someone have pulled up and given her a ride at that point? Meaning, the person doesnt drive an RV?
I have a lot of Q's.
Whats on the phone? what does the call text log reveal? Which towers did the phone ping off when it was active? How much juice was in the battery before they got to the concert?
If the cell towers are close enough, can "skilled" LE track the different pings off different phones from those towers and locate the owners, or direction of movement from the different phones?
Are there images on the phone that can be used to search surveillance? Is the person local or not local?
For the criminal:
IF youre local and you take such criminal actions? Do you, get outta dodge? lay low till the heat dies down (maybe thats why there isnt anything posted about this girl/no patrols)?
Head to the mountains and lay low? If you suddenly got this catch, and say you didnt expect it? Keep her alive or get rid of her? How will you feed her? Are you keeping her incapacitated? physically? mentally? Does the criminal give LE a tip to send them in the wrong direction, or confuse the factline? Stay in VA or go out of state?
For LE:
do you patrol undercover, evasdropping? Do you spread the search area out further? Utilize the public's assistance or keep it hush hush to "not jeapordize the investigation"?
Does an Amber alert technically jeapordize the investigation, in this way? when you follow up on leads, do you use a voice analyzer? who is coordinating all of this? Have you asked that all fans turn in every form of surveillance from the concert?
Who is reviewing this? Has every fan/willing, accounted for what they saw, when they came or left
I think the father will release more info, once he sees LE is not making major progress. Peoples' memories will get clouded or fade if they don't get more info out soon.
I also think you should look for people who are doing something out of te ordinary, like taking a vacation all fo a sudden, or not answering their phones when you expect them (you know what I mean)
I think the better thing to do is figure ifit was someone local, whom she met before at a previous concert. Is this/these person(s) a student? Can they canvass the student pop for students absent from classes for a week or so, and include those who were going to the concert or who can be placed in the vicinity around that time.
What was the hotel shutdown thing, really? and why just the parking lot? why not the whole place? I think if LE tries to put the timeline together and play catch up to wherever she mite be, they may end up way behind.
I think all motels, rest stops, hotels, grocery stores, every place this person will need access/materials should have flyers and be canvassed. Maybe an increase in the usae of utilities at a place that normally does not require much heat or electricity?
I don't think keeping it local was a good idea, if the perp(s) had a 24hr head start.
Back to the timeline thing, I think the person/friend who was contacted by Morgan was not necessarily the same person who decided they should stay and wait (Assuming this was true and they really waited for hours).
If it was me, I would waited then drve around, or split up into groups to achieve both. Maybe they called her a bunch of times, to no avail and decided she was having fun somewhere or she was angry at them? IF she was angry then maybe they decided it was not best to call the cops??
I think the father/mother told the public she didnt have a BF and didnt know anyone in C-ville, so if people spotted her with someone, they wouldnt think that was a friend/bf etc.
The real point is to keep the pressure on the criminal where he eventually is either too comfortable and makes a mistake or is under too much stress and makes a mistake.
I think if pressure rises on the perp(s) they will have to get rid of her (D or A) somehow. If it was a skilled criminal/s, then they might be long gone (Even if local) more than 24hrs later. Assuming they are keping her alive, then what minimizes their expenses, maximizes their safety from LE?
IF LE hasnt done a great job, then even about 1hr away, most people will not be aware or on guard., and with each hr of distance it'll be much worse since LE is "playing this one close to the vest".
Also, the point is to get the people with the best memories and analytics in LE and have them sift through the info. It would be better to somehow record and process alll info, seemingly unrelated, not just related to Morgan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The above post is old for me, from yesterday morning, and has some typos. So, some of the info has since been quoted by other posters and I agree, such as a second set of keys.
Going back to the video stuff now, I doubt that is her. IF you look in the Dan Harrington Hook, news posting, you see a picture of her and her legs/knees. The girl from the video does not have the same bone structure for legs or face, I think (Assuming the picture is not that old).
Plus, going back to the findmorgan.com witness report about MH falling, she was higher up.
I forgot to ask, if the friends said she had a camera with her, or her phone has flash/camera.
I think Uva is sand bagging themselves in the end by not supporting the search, which grows colder by the minute. They have an army of people/stuednts who could search for her and valuable resources to make this come to fruition.
Going back to the father, if I was him I'd be talking to all the universities to get the word out. I'd also pay for some billboard adds, like 1hr or 2hrs away from C-ville even (the perps usually seem to leave town to keep their new pets/brides, or whatever those freaks call them), and see if a mural/Find morgan poster could be posted on some of the university's buildings, and get them to keep it there for several months.
LE should put the word out that they're looking for people who havent shown up to work for a week unexplained....etc (have to cut these ideas short for now). I think they/we should try and figure out where the perp went or is...instead of focusing too much on her during the concert. Also, maybe the data from the phone will make more sense to someone not in LE? Also, they should set up a twitter tip line, and have people reviewing the various tips coming that way. I mean, i bet there have been people with good tips, who cant get through or do not get called back even.
And someone has to do something to get trick or treaters to have flyers when they go canvassing, uh i mean walking around next week.
Also, what about the various mountain areas in the region?
I may have said this before, but I think the best spots to target for posters, are convenience stores, hardware stores, pharmacies, and fast food stores.
Sorry for the rambling post.
