BREAKING: Jesse Matthew has now been indicted for the murder or Morgan Harrington.

YES!!! :woot: :woot: :woot: Finally!! So happy to read this news.

Finally, now we wait to hear if they will charge him with the many others we suspect him to be responsible for. The list of possibles is long and those families deserve to at least know if he is the killer. These come to mind:
Dashad Sage Smith
Cassandra Morton
Samantha Clark (and possibly some involvement in Alexis Murphy's case, IMO)
Heidi Childs and David Metzer
and the many possible others...I really hope he comes clean.

YYYEEESSSSSSS!!!! This is amazing news! Have been waiting so long to hear those words that it hardly seems real. Please bring justice for those beautiful young women and their long-suffering friends and family!

I was so relieved to read the news of this indictment. I think down the road, LE will be able to link him to other crimes as well and perhaps a few more families will get some answers.

This is wonderful news! We've been waiting so long for this. As the wheel of justice finally begins to turn for Morgan, may her family find some peace of mind and comfort in their hearts. Many thanks to those who have kept us updated as we have waited to read these words. Tears of joy!

“We are very relieved that we have the perpetrator, he’s behind bars and justice will have its way,” said Gil Harrington, the mother of Morgan Harrington.

[...]
“I would have loved to have seen, you know she would be 26 now, how she turned out, we’ll never see that. Never see what kind of babies she would have made,” said Harrington.

[...]
“I have thoughts of how could someone hurt Morgan — Morgan was so sweet and nice, how could you snuff her out. Why?” asked Harrington.

BBM.

hmmm.. "snuff her out"
What does that mean to everyone here? I have my own ideas.....

 

[Vedder]

Fantastic news!

 

[waltzingmatilda]

I am so happy that JM will be held accountable for Morgan's murder. But I am sad too, sad for Morgan and the Harrington family for what could have been......

....had she not been 'snuffed out' (Mrs Harrington's words). She saw her daughters bones and is a very smart woman. IMO, Morgan's remains told the story to Gil of the trauma she suffered while fighting for her life against a psychopath.

Kudos to the Grand Jury.

I wonder how long the wait will be, and if he'll ever be cleared of any so we don't continue to wonder.

Along those lines, I haven't seen this posted, but male skeletonized remains were found on one of JM's potential "routes" in Charlottesville a few weeks ago. Male. My thought is that it's possibly Sage. Haven't heard any updates on ID and don't know that we will, as it could just as well be a transient. http://www.newsplex.com/home/headli...-Exit-Ramp-in-Albemarle-County-323037621.html
