LE only said that someone inside the arena had a set of her keys. How could they rule out the possibility that she had an extra set of keys or a door key with her?

We definitely do not know where her car was parked; but if it were in the Emmett/Ivy Parking garage, her route that night leaving the arena would make perfect sense.



If someone came up with a theory that Elizabeth Smart had been abducted by a crazed street preacher who wanted her for a second wife, they would probably have been ridiculed; that is, until she was actually found.

Regarding the keys, Geller's actual quote (beginning 14:00 in) in response to a question about the car was "Morgan and her friend traveled from Virginia Tech in Blacksburg to James Madison University in Harrisonburg on Saturday October 17th. They picked up two more friends and then traveled in Morgan's car to the John Paul Jones Arena at UVA in Charlottesville. However, Morgan was not the driver of the vehicle. One of the friends was driving. So therefore that friend actually had the keys to the car when they got separated."

Agree this does not rule out her having a second set, but it seems like that would have come up via the friends or MH's family if it was true and relevant.

If the car was at Emmet/Ivy garage, then her route makes more sense, albeit with some meanderings and interactions along the way, but the hitchhiking report doesn't jive, imho.

The point about Elizabeth Smart is well-taken, but I don't see how it relates to the question about MH coming into an inheritance and how that would become an Elizabeth Smart situation. If you were just saying explore all possible angles, rather than making an explicit link, I agree. Out of the box may be the only way this gets solved.

It could be false, or maybe she wanted a ride to the garage which is not far from the bridge.

My point was that we have consider unconventional explanations ----NOT!!! that MH was also abducted by a polygamous street preacher.

I asked about the Va Tech Carilion Medical School where Doctor Dan Harrington is an assistant dean. They are just beginning to interview students there for the first class he told me. I also found out that Gil Harrington grew up in Saudi Arabia. She is a registered nurse who works with the orphan medical network international. That work takes her to the deep bush in Northern Zambia [in the Copperbelt region] twice a year.

Police have received more than 600 tips, but they still say they don't have any suspects. Police are mainly relying on eyewitness tips at this point. There have been possible Morgan Harrington spottings in Orange County and as far away as the Middle East, but so far none have been confirmed.

Gilbert Harrington’s employer:

Since 2001, OMNI has had a major influence on the care of orphaned and vulnerable children in the Copperbelt Province of northern Zambia. Medical teams consisting of physicians, nurses and support staff have made several trips to that area. The effort began with mobile medical clinics and has grown into hiring of local medical staff for sustained care, the building and staffing of orphanages and most recently the opening of schools supported by OMNI.

After several trips to Zambia to experience the needs, OMNI’s mission has been refocused to a more holistic approach. OMNI’s foundation in providing health care for orphans remains a strong commitment. However, the mission has grown to to serve orphans and vulnerable children and the communities in which they live through education and community development.

"We must ensure that Africa is not left out," Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the IMF's managing director, told African finance ministers at a conference this month. "This is not only about protecting economic growth and household incomes -- it is also about containing the risk of civil unrest, perhaps even of war. It is about people and their futures."

Among the hardest-hit African nations is copper-rich Zambia, which derives about two-thirds of its export earnings from the metal.

The Harrington name is prominent in Zambia. Could Morgan Harrington be related to the Harringtons of Zambia?

BTW: Also, wonder if she is related even very distantly to the J.P. Morgan banking family which also had interests in copper.

The Harrington’s are in Washington D.C. on Capitol Hill this week advocating support for The Silver Alert Bill and Kristin’s Act. These Bills will support funding for resources for adults over the age of 18 years old who disappear and their families. They gave an interview with The Washington Post this morning. A link is below. It is heartbreaking,

Tonight on the family’s forum Dr. Harrington took the time to answer some questions that I have seen raised here numerous times. I thought I’d post them here along with the link (if allowed by the mod) so that everyone here would have some definitive answers. The questions were as follows;

How many tickets were purchased by Dr. Harrington for the concert? (Four)

Did Amy Melvin go back to JMU with Sarah Sneed and Dan C. the night of Oct. 17th? (Yes)

Did Dan C. actually attend the concert that night? (Yes)

Did MH actually go to C’ville that night or stay behind in Harrisonburg? (Yes, she went)

Here is the link; Dr. Harrington’s answers are at the bottom of page on the “Any news from the police thread”.

Ghostmaster, the vast majority of posters that respond to this claim it's because Dr. Harrington has made the request, not LE. Either way, as you put it, "people who know the friends" is nothing but heresay. Untill I see the claim made by Dr. Harrington himself. or in a VSP statement, I just do not buy it. Heck, I might even believe it if I saw official statements from the friends stating LE has asked them not to discuss the details.

I do not believe the friends were involved, but for their silence to be attibuteable to a request by either Dr. Harrington, or LE is <redacted>

RossVA you need to get us a link about that "theory" of Morgan's car keys. Is that your theory as you claim it? You didn't read it somewhere that you provide us a link for it?

Where is the link to Dr. Harrington saying that as well?

Who is the past majority of posters you refer to?

You say you wouldn't believe it if you saw an official statement from the friends about LE??!

Ye of little faith in LE, it's not only your lack of faith, it's also logic.

Logic tells us that since LE cleared the friends (who are the ones who had access to Morgan's car and keys that night) that since the friends are cleared of any wrongdoing in this case & they had Morgan's car, thus the car was not involved either. DO you think someone took a slimjim to her car window and did something to her in the car?
This whole Morgan's car theory makes no sense logically whatsoever.
If you car to enlighten me, i'll listen.

It seems you have such doubt in LE, that it conflicts with your own theories of her friends, the car, the keys etc.

At first i was doubtful of her friends, once LE cleared them i was able to move past that to actually look into other possibilities and theories on what may have happened in this case.

When i mention her friends i am referring soley to the 3 there that night and that is it.

.

Where is your link to LE saying that someone in the arena had a SET of her keys?
Her friends had her keys that's one pair of keys, not a second like RossVa came up with.
Her friends were using her car and had her keys. Where the car was parked is irrelevant, as the friends and car are not involved in Morgan disappearing. Logic.

Do you have a link?

Ghost just gave you a link in the qoute you qouted from him. Sometimes it requires a little googling to be a sleuth.

 

[Walker]

MH's birthdate has apparently not been released.

Ghost referred to a specific police file: Morgan D. Harington, Case record # 09-83020523, and did not give any link. Googled, but couldn't find.

MH's birthdate has apparently not been released.

Walker, Morgan's birthday has been released. Here is a link to the Laura Recovery Center and the information on their web site. These posters were put up all around C'ville the week-end of the search.

If you go to WS Forensic Astrology section plenty of people on that forum have worked up charts about what happened to her based on her b'day.

She was born on 24 July, 1989. Hope this helps.

Walker, don't take easy way out, sometimes you really have to use google search and you can use the qoutes to bring up direct words that you are seeking.
Sometimes things are in the news section, then once old, they are in the web section.

Good sleuths give up =)

Thank you Ghostmaster.

Where are you Morgan???

bumping to move from 2nd pg

 

[Ghostmaster]

Here is a very useful map done by The Roanoke Times that puts Morgan’s every move into a time line with pictures of the area. You click on the red dot and it explodes into text. I’m sure there have been plenty of maps but I’d not seen one like this. If this is old news to folks then I’m sorry. It gave me a much better picture of the places and the direction she allegedly took that night. Go here;
