Is there anything at all happening in this case? Are LE even working on it?
I just wanted to give everybody an update. I wish I had better news but the DA still hasn't filed any charges against the shooter and he still isn't sure if he ever will. The shooter was able to spend another Christmas with his daughter and family. What we wouldn't give to be able to have had just one more Christmas with Justin. Justin's poor parents are losing hope that justice will ever be done in this case. I am praying that when they get the GSR test back it will give the DA what he needs to prosecute. Please keep the prayers coming, we really need them!

Today I was contacted by Justin's mother through email. After which, we got together and discussed Justin's case or "lack there of". For the record, Justin's parents want you all here at Websleuths to know that the Commonwealth Attorney in Portsmouth called them in mid March to say he was not indicting the person, (DH), who shot and killed Justin. Justin's mom said, "We are dealing with this as best we can."
Contrary to a recorded conversation by an eye witness, concerning what was said to have happened on the night of the shooting, proving the gun was visible to Justin and many others, thus posing an obvious threat to his life as the 1st shot was fired, and known to all directly involved in the case, the police confusingly, verbally recounted to Justin's parents a completely different set of events of that night. This was apparently done in order to justify not indicting DH. This consisted of a short, one or two sentence "explanation" from officials by phone to Justin's parents, as is my understanding.
Since the last posting here, the Governor's office has been contacted and Justin's parents were told that this office relayed the fact that "the sheriff" was going to look at the case. A friend double-checked this information personally by calling the sheriff's office and was told that 'he didn't have it, and that possibly his internal affairs people did'. Justin's parents are not sure exactly what is going on at this point, if another agency is taking a look at the case or if, in fact the case is indeed closed.
Personally, it all continues to sound like a proverbial 'Politically Motivated' run around to me. A phone call was also placed to the chief of police and the caller was told that 'the chief and the commonwealth attorney (DA) had a meeting set or was going to set up a meeting with Justin's parents, to go over things, in order to explain exactly what happened that night'. Justin's parents say it is ironic that they haven't heard a word from anyone concerning 'this so called set-up meeting', so all they can do, once again, is to wait and see... just as they have been doing for the past 6 months. It is possible that this suggestion of a 'meeting' with Justin's parents was suggested to the person who called in order to get her to 'back off and leave their office alone' said one person very close to this case.
October 2008-April 2009 is a very long time to patiently wait to find out exactly what happened to your child the night he was killed. My heart goes out to Justin's parents, to his younger brother, to Julie and to Justin's young daughter.
In Justin's mother's words, "I thought maybe you'd want to put a post on Websleuths that no indictment has been issued and basically in the eyes of the DA, I guess the case is closed."
It is my understanding that all Justin's parents have received from LE or from the Commonwealth Attorney is a non-detailed, one page report. To quote one of them, "It is an insult to our intelligence to think that the police department and the DA's office expect us to believe that this is all the evidentiary information, which as Justin's parents, we are entitled to receive due to "Virginia law statutes" regarding the shooting and death of our son." According to the statutes it is at the discretion of authorities as to which records they choose to disclose and to whom they choose to disclose these records. In order to obtain the single page report which Justin's parents now have in their possession, 'a Virginia resident was required to request this information', rather than his parents who happened to live outside of the state of Virginia!
If I did not know better I would think that Justin's death must have happened in some third world country. Never in my life, would I have believed that IN ANY STATE WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, whether it is a commonwealth state or not, that there could be this level of obscene insensitivity and injustice; such a complete and total lack of compassion and consideration, and to add insult to the other atrocities; such a brazen refusal by government officials to share information directly related to the death of the son of two citizens of the USA once the case is supposedly closed!
It is my prayer that the powers that be in this case are put into the position of readily discovering the need for compassion, sensitivity, honesty, as well as the importance of revealing to the parents of a deceased son, the truth of discovery of the facts in what is apparently now a 'closed case'. It is my hope that these humans will someday seek the sincere forgiveness of both parents of Justin Matthew Eberhart for the long and grueling months of unnecessary torture that these officials are solely responsible for putting these parents through.
God Bless Your Souls Portsmouth, Virginia Police Dept, Commonwealth Attorney's Office and The Virginia Governor's Office. I pray for you all. May each and every single one of you realize your wrongs, openly admit them, share your knowledge with these parents in respect to the death of their son, and put an abrupt end to this mind boggling train wreck of events, beginning with the obviously flawed investigation and ending with closing this case without choosing to indict. God Bless Your Souls.
Until forgiveness is sought by each and every Virginia Official involved in Justin's case, it is my hope that my friends and loved ones nor I, ever find the need to cross the state line of Virginia's Commonwealth. Lord in Heaven, I sincerely pray this!

Oh angelwings. This is absolutely heartbreaking!
I hope you will send that post to every single person who can do something about this. PLEASE, don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I'm really not surprised at the way this case is NOT going. I could see the hand writing on the wall from the beginning. LE didn't bother to question any of the neighbors who might have seen the whole incident. The shooter should have been taken to the police department along with the others that were with him and each of them questioned in seperate rooms before they had a chance to compare what they were going to say.
It is only obvious that the killer wanted to murder Justin. He had threatened his life not long before he killed him.
My heart goes out to Justin's parents and family. They must be feeling so helpless. They should be allowed to read everything that LE has done on this case and anyother info LE has. I remember that Mr. Murray even went to court to try and get this same info about his daughter Maura. I don't think he ever got what he asked for. Makes you wonder just what is in that paperwork.
If there are people we could write to I would gladly do that if someone could put the email addresses of those people here. Maybe it would help if LE, etc, hear from a bunch of people who care and are watching this case.

This is an email message to all Mothers from Justin's Mother.
As you already know, she lost her son October 2008. Her intent is not to make us cry, rather to insure that we remember to be thankful for and to treasure each and everyday we are able to share the Gift from God, which is our children...

Subject: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY FROM JUSTIN'S MOTHER
Hello to all my sisters in motherhood!
I am sure you are all anticipating a lovely Mother's Day on Sunday. I hope it's a gorgeous day filled with lots of sunshine, surprises and smiles. As for me, it will be a bittersweet day, as you know. I will be remembering with all that is in me, the joy and happiness of the day Justin appeared in my world and I became a mother. After five years of marriage, I was ready for this next phase, and oh, what an adventure it was!! I remember with great fondness one of the first photographs taken of him at the hospital with his daddy holding him in his arms. Some of you have had the pleasure of seeing this picture, but my sweet little angel was tightly wrapped in his baby blue blanket and all that was visible was his precious newborn face peeking out, staring intently up at his daddy's face, mere inches away. You could almost imagine him saying "please take care of me forever". Which, incidentally, (his daddy) did - he was always there for Justin, through the good times and the bad. From the beginning Justin had a way of wrapping you around his little finger, so he was forever on his daddy's mind and in his heart, and still is. What a great father (Justin's daddy) is.
But, I remember that day, June 15, 1980 as being the happiest one of my life - oh my goodness, how quickly I bonded with that new little being, and what tremendous love I felt, it is amazing how deep it went - nothing could compare to those first few moments! It was just overwhelming and I wish I could have put it into a bottle and captured it forever. I know you've all been there, feeling those same emotions. Then, in a couple of days we took our new son home. Well, I also vividly recollect that first night! Lord, how could I forget! Justin cried almost the entire night, and myself right along with him! The next morning, totally exhausted and quite frankly, questioning my mothering capabilities, I called my mom in tears and cried "come get this baby!" And come she did! She stayed a couple of days with us and got me through those difficult "early motherhood trials and tribulations"! She rescued me! Mothers do that, don't they? Admit it, I'm sure you're all saying "been there, done that" as you most likely experienced those same problems early on with your little ones, and had to call your mommy!
As it happens, the days, months and years of his boyhood flew wildly by and we experienced all the many facets of parenthood, the fun times like baseball, beach, band and brotherly love--- after (Justin's brother) joined our family; as well as the not-so-fun times, ya know, like bugs (sickness), booboos, bad grades & boogie men! But I am here to tell ya, I would never trade those years for anything in the world, except, naturally, the opportunity to have more of them. But getting to the idea behind this email and what I want to say to all of you today is this - Treasure every moment you have with your babies, no matter how old, because you never know when they could be taken from you. They may be gone in the blink of an eye when God decides it is time for them to become his children and no longer ours in this life. Someone told me about 25 years ago that I needed to call my mother every day and tell her I loved her - well I'm telling you now, call your children every day (as well as your mother) and tell them you love them. You never know when it might be your last chance. The intent of this message is not to be depressing or morbid, but to enlighten and encourage you all to treasure every day you have with your loved ones and let them know how much they mean to you. Oh, and one more thing - "God bless you and thank you for being a part of my life!" Oops, I almost forgot, one last wish for each and everyone -"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY" I love you all!

This is beautiful and heartbreaking this mother deserves answers to what happened to her precious son ...she has the right to not only read the files but have copies .....this man was a solider who served his country a good father a good son now he is gone anda crime is just swept under the rug ..from what i read it seems the girlfriend worked the shooter into a frenzy no this is not right the police need to tell this mother what they know and somebody needs to be held accountable....

Thank You, Jeepgirlva! I couldn't agree with you more! This is heartbreaking and Justin's family deserves answers which they have not yet been privy. They deserved and still deserve to be treated with the same respect any parents, brother, or mother of a victim's child should receive. It is a tragedy that they have not. My heart continues to hurt for them and my efforts to see that they find comfort and peace in the resolution of discovering the truth in Justin's case are far from complete. Thankfully, there are others who love and care for each of them who are still working toward this same conclusion in Justin's case.
Please, pray for Justin's family and friends. Please pray for the Portsmouth PD, the Internal Affairs Dept., the Governor's Office and the Commonwealth Attorney's Office. At this point, they all need much more than simply the support and guidance of mortals.
Hello! None of you know me. I knew Justin from my work. I worked at a vet clinic Justin brought his beautiful pitbulls to. I was totally taken back by the fact this world lost a person like Justin. Every time he came to the vet, he was so polite and seemed to be a very careing person. I know that things can be different behind closed doors, but that is still no reason that someone should take his life away from him. I want to let his family know that his love for his dogs really made a lasting impression on me. He always talked so highly of them, and was proud of them! Does anyone know what happened to all his babies (dogs) Justin also had a daughter I beleive. He talked about her as well. The world has lost a man that had a meaning and purpose in life, it is with my deepest sympathy that he was taken from this world so soon!

Justin's dad has Samson, the first dog Justin ever owned, and that his brother has one of the dogs (that was 14 weeks old when Justin died) and another of the pups that was 5 mos. old has now gone to live in South Georgia with Justin's friend and previous roommate. The girlfriend took one of the dogs that she claimed belonged to her as she paid for it, his name is Jackson, and the rest he had at that time were sold. They all hopefully have good homes. Tell her thank you for asking and to continue to pray for justice. Since I was never a "poster" on here, I can't answer, but I do appreciate you doing that for me.
One thing I'd like to mention is that a current client of ours at the law firm, who has been in recent contact with Daniel Thomas, remember him (Gerald Thomas' son). It seems Daniel worked for the GBI and has already retired. But in speaking to my client, he is taking notes that he and I put together and plans to speak to Daniel on my behalf and see if there is anything he can do to look into things for us, i.e. try and get records from the investigation, which to date we've been unsuccessful in obtaining. A meeting last Aug. in which we were told that they (DA, Chief of Police) were going to get together and decide what records we could have, never produced anything still. Phone calls are not answered, nor are letters where we have repeatedly tried to obtain investigative materials. I am still baffled by their lack of cooperation in releasing documents to us that I know are public record. It is my hope that Daniel can at least accomplish this for me and find out why they won't let us have anything. Maybe he'll request them on our behalf and see what they tell him. Maybe he will have some pull, or know someone else with pull. I know I am probably grasping at straws here, but what have I got to lose, so I must try anything. Matt had met with an atty. over in VA Beach months ago and he had expressed an interest in helping us pro bono (this fella used to work for that damn DA and he was fired because he ran for Commonwealth Attty. in VA Beach against Earle Mobley's friend) Long story there, but nevertheless, he was gonna assist us in filing a wrongful death suit, but for some strange reason, it is as if he has fallen off the face of the earth - he is not communicating with us, doesn't answer my emails or Matt's calls. What is up with that I have no idea, but looks like we are back to wondering if we can find someone else to handle it for us. The problem is, of course, money or lack thereof, so I have to wonder, is his lack of communication God's way of telling me to let it go, that I've had enough and not to pursue it further. I just don't know what to do, I don't want to give up on my son's justice but I don't know how much more I can take of this getting jerked around ****. But for now, I'm just anxious to see if Daniel can gather any info for us. This client of ours that reviewed stuff in the autopsy report indicated one thing and that is that LE did not bag Justin's hands, which raised questions in his mind re gunpowder residue. He is also wondering if possibly LE somehow might have violated Danny Harmon's civil rights, which in turn would prevent them maybe from being able to bring charges. You just never know, but in his mind, he feels that maybe LE screwed up somewhere along the line during the investigation, thus the theory of "self-defense" sounded good to them and that was the end of it. Sorry to ramble on and I'm going to end this message now, but just wanted to give you the latest. Thank you for asking and continue to pray for justice.

I just got this email from my friend, Justin's mom who has posted here before... Wanted to share it will all the Websleuth group here who tried to seek Justice for Justin! Hope and Pray that this is some good news and that even more GREAT News is just around the corner in seeking Justice for Justin!~ Again, many thanks to all of you who have tried to help.~Angelwngs
Hello all! Hope everyone's Monday is going good. Just wanted to ask for continued prayers in the case of my Justin's death. I just got a phone call from (Justin's dad). He has regularly been making calls to Virginia to the DA's office in an attempt to find out if he's made a final decision on whether or not he was going to send Justin's case to the grand jury or not. As you may remember, the case was "re-investigated" by a new detective and his file completed and given to the DA back in April last year. Both the chief of police and the detective felt like the case should go before the grand jury, and we have been waiting all this time for a decision from the DA as to whether he would present it to them or not. All the times that Matt calls up there, he never gets to talk to the DA, just always leaves messages with the secretary, and never got a return call - EVER! Last week he called up there and said "Look, I know you are getting tired of hearing from me, and I know you are giving him my messages, but I'm not going to even leave another one; I'll just have to figure out another way to talk to Mr. Mobley". So, lo and behold, Mr. Mobley returned (Justin's Dad's) call today!! The only thing he told (Justin's dad) was that he was "pretty sure" he was going to send the case to the grand jury, but that he had one other person reviewing it with him. And then he will decide. I have no timeframe still as to when he will finally make his determination, however, maybe the time is about to come soon and the news we have been waiting on for four years will finally reach our ever patient ears. All we've ever wanted is for the case to go before a grand jury to see if they think there is enough to prosecute this man. We didn't think it should just be up to the DA to make that decision. The very idea that Justin's killer walks around every day like he did nothing wrong, is about more than (Justin's dad) and I can take. We try not to get our hopes up because they have been dashed over and over, but we're beginning to think that the news MIGHT be good this time around. So, please, continue to remember our family in prayer as we so deserve to have some JUSTICE FOR JUSTIN. Thank you and my love to all!

Hello all! Hope everyone's Monday is going good. Just wanted to ask for continued prayers in the case of my Justin's death. I just got a phone call from (Justin's dad). He has regularly been making calls to Virginia to the DA's office in an attempt to find out if he's made a final decision on whether or not he was going to send Justin's case to the grand jury or not. As you may remember, the case was "re-investigated" by a new detective and his file completed and given to the DA back in April last year. Both the chief of police and the detective felt like the case should go before the grand jury, and we have been waiting all this time for a decision from the DA as to whether he would present it to them or not. All the times that Matt calls up there, he never gets to talk to the DA, just always leaves messages with the secretary, and never got a return call - EVER! Last week he called up there and said "Look, I know you are getting tired of hearing from me, and I know you are giving him my messages, but I'm not going to even leave another one; I'll just have to figure out another way to talk to Mr. Mobley". So, lo and behold, Mr. Mobley returned (Justin's Dad's) call today!!

I just re-read the whole thread to refresh my memory. What wonderful news that a grand jury will get this case!!! The tragedy of Justin being taken from his daughter, mom, dad, brother & friends is compounded by the shooter never having had to answer for the senseless killing. I think some blame goes to the so-called girlfriend too. Justin & his family will be in my prayers. I sincerely hope that justice is coming.

I was so surprised and happy to see an update on this thread. Whatever outcome at least Justin's family knows that he hasn't been forgotten by the DA and LE. Hopefully, the truth will come out, whatever that may be.
