Justice for Liz Barraza
John Paul Jones Arena
I was certain this was Morgan. And while I thought Morgan would never wear such God-awful socks, the jeans and belt seemed very much like what she would wear, as well as the red shirt.
Charlottesville VA is approximately 250 miles (or 6 hours) from the SC border. You are absolutely correct that it would be a direct run through Roanoke and Blacksburg to get to the dump site. If the perp (whether a fan or a member of the road crew?) would be attending the Metallica concert in Charlotte NC the next day (as you say, 45 minutes away from the dump site), this would be a perfect place to dispose of the body.
I thought they had found MH for sure. It may still turn out to be her.
Where are you, Morgan Harrington?
MOO
I'm sorry if this has been brought up before. Are there businesses on the other side of bridge that she could have been walking to late at night?
Yes it is a nagging question as to why someone this young hasn't been a hot match on a missing person file. Several things stand out:
- The jeans shown don't appear to be the size of a 160-180 pound person, so the weight is off or the clothes don't belong to the deceased; could use some female help here, but I don't think size 5s fit 160 pound women.
- It is said the jeans were found "near' the body but LE is sure the jeans belong to her.
- The combo of purple toe socks and Hollister Surf Shoppe shirt should be enough to cue anyone seeing the clothing who knows her, and no one has come forward.
- The choice of dump site looks like the work of a local, since a stranger poking around to survey off-the-beaten-path areas runs the risk of being identified as out of place.
So if the jeans belong to the deceased, and are way too small to fit the body as described, what does that tell us of the rest of the description? Is it (puropsefully) inaccurate sending a message to whomever left her there without ID that LE is onto them without alerting the public that an identifiable missing body has been found? Was the body redressed? Could these clothes belong to Morgan (from an overnight bag) or be other clothes on her(ugh)?

Ok...just wanted to post one thing that has bugged me about something said by the dad early on....http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33480916/ns/today-today_people/
There's a paragraph right next to the parents picture, where the dad says "for the past 6 months...etc" why did he say the "6 months" part?? Why not say we have a great relationship??
There is something more compelling about these links: the person who started the Facebook group is interviewed in the first transcript (it is only a few lines, you have to scroll down).
That person is also on the Metallica Facebook group, which interestingly, also has Harrington among its members.
There are only 217 people in that group, and they are not listed alphabetically, so they may be listed chronologically. Dude is on page one, Harrington on page 2. Presumably, the person who started the Facebook group would have had knowledge that Harrington was going to the concert well in advance. Coincidence?
Eyewitnesses are not foolproof. If you believe the eyewitnesses in the Caylee Anthony case, that baby was having a grand time traveling all over the US while she lay dead in the woods. Besides, I'd bet that there were at least a 1000 other girls at that concert that looked like Morgan. I really haven't seen any solid proof that Morgan made it to the concert at all. Calls and text messages from her phone mean nothing to me as we don't know who's hand the phone was in.
bbm.
I commend the posters who found this information but am confused about the two statements I bolded.
Why is it strange that the guy in question and Morgan are both members of the Metallica Facebook group? They are obviously both fans of the band and attended the concert.
As for the question about coincidence, are you suggesting he targeted her before the concert and was able to find her among the thousands of other people in attendance? I haven't read the Metallica Facebook group. Did Morgan mention in which part of the arena she'd be seated?
I'd be with you except for....
the dude in the parking lot said "group of girls" No dude was mentioned in this sighting; and at that time the male had not been reported as part of the group. KWIM?
I never post---but I was just wondering if there is PROOF POSITIVE that Morgan ever really did arrive at the concert. Friends have been known to hurt friends before and cover up for each other. Maybe they kept her purse, used the cell to make that call then got rid of the purse. Just a thought.
I really don't think that was her walking on that dark bridge in that area that late at night. No woman would ever think of that unless she had some kind of protection on her. I think those that "think" they saw her were mistaken. Thank you for posting the pictures.
That railing looks disturbingly low. But maybe the angle of the shot is making it look lower than it is. (?)
Copeley Bridge over the tracks looking back towards the University Hall/Parking. John Paul Jones Arena is behind the UHall.
This person also worked part-time at the arena!
This is the whole quote from the article
Shes really very a sweet person, kind of an innocent individual who probably is quite trusting, Dan Harrington said. Shes quite artistic, loves to read, and, really, over the last six months, Gil and Morgan and I had just a phenomenal relationship. She goes to school only 35 miles from here. Weve been able to have daily contact with her. Shes a wonderful person.
As MTG brings up in her post - something bugged her... Well to me it's odd too as well as the rest of the statement.
Were things bad between MH & her parents 6 months prior? Why would he say MH is a wonderful person - why not say my daughter is a wonderful person?
