Thank you! I wish we knew what kind of physical evidence was found! This gives me hope! I hope the killer is caught soon!

The picture shows how gutted the house is...could be just nothing but could be something..

Well, the comments say it was 5 miles from where she was found and burned at 2AM the day she was found. I don't see how that could be a connection in and of itself.

Examining the topographic features of the satellite imagery, anyone else notice the faint "tracks" made in the otherwise featureless field that leads directly to where the body was found?

Not sure what you mean but after 3 months and the heavy rains and snow we've had around here in that time, I doubt tracks would still be there from when she was killed/dumped.

If Le had pictures or her actually at the concert, and even being in front of the building, I don't think it would have taken them weeks to finally go "with an abduction story".

Here goes my theory to what happened...
There has been no drug connection so far but here is what I think.
The plan was to score some weed or something to have for the concert. She drove to Harrisonburg and left from there the night before the concert..the plan was to meet with her there...(that's why they didn't make it clear who rode where and how many people.
These are 20 year old's shouldn't be that hard a question.)
She never showed up and her friends didn't know what to say or do.
They went into cover-up mode.The knew something wasn't right, and never said a word .Never called to ask about her, and didn't say anything until asked by Mr. Harrington where she was.
I don't know if they actually knew what happened but they "knew" something was wrong and didn't want to rock the boat hoping she would show up and everything would be OK.
I think now that she is recovered there will be more about that night come-out.
I don't think she was randomly abducted.I think what ever happened, she was with someone she considered :"safe"
I hate to even mention my thought's about her scoring drugs as I have nothing to base this on, no conformation about partying at all...but it's not that hard to believe that students going to a Metal concert might try to get their hands on something.

Is it just me or is it kinda depressing so many are being found dead now? wow just sad.

I think the drug theory has legs, but I still say with friends like those who really needs enemies! I wonder how they feel now that MH has been found? Has any one of them released a statement or said anything to the media? Facebook? anywhere??? Just wondering. If my friend was found dead I think I would have been right there by her parents. Just kinda cold blooded the friends seemed to disappear.

 

[amysmom]

Didn't Morgan have a camera and it's supposedly still missing?
Maybe she was the one who was taking the pics that night until she went missing.

She did have a camera (red) that LE was asking the public to look out for awhile back..If there were pix of them all at the concert surely her 'friends' would know this & tell LE.

Is this why the camera is so imp to them? Do they really need to confirm they were ALL there?

These 'friends' made NO attempt to stop her from finding her own way home..Whaaaat? I have a very hard time buying what they're selling on this one issue most of all.

Nothing has come of it. I'm sure the police have looked into it.

The police have everything under control. They and the Harrington family have more information than we do. . I'm sure they looked into sexual predators, parolees, and recent felons that have served out their terms recently. We just have to trust that everything will be okay during this investigation. In an investigation such as this, there are to be bumps on the road I live in C-ville and get all the updated information as it comes through.

I'm not clear on your post/last sentence. Can you be more specific, please?

Probably not. (Sigh.)

BTW, "Happy Anniversary, Calliope!" (in case no one already beat me to it!).

My understanding is the camera is still missing. Has it been stated if the Swarovski crystal necklace and charm bracelet were found?

I agree with you that this crime doesn't seem to have been random.
The drugs part seems irrelevant. Even if she asked some guy for weed or something, what would give him the motive for murder?

A very good thought. However night vision is somewhat romanced by television and novels. A decent pair of true night vision goggles is upwards of $4000. A bit much for the majority of us. Yes, you see them advertised for a few hundred dollars but they are Gen 1 or generation one. LE, the military and other search and rescue use Gen 4 or generation four. Big, big bucks!

About 10 years ago you could get them from $100 to $200, including some sort of camera aspect. (Again hunting mags, or detective mags.) Only know b.c a friend of mine was flipping out that his 11 year gf was leaving him in a very bad way, he was flipping out, I tried counseling instead I got an education on these things.

ETA: They can come as binoculars too.

(SCARY!!!)

Former Greene Sheriff Morris dead by apparent suicide

It didn't take long for the rumors (not gonna post) to FLY! Some claim a connection that I don't see (not even with the S name) but it was bound to happen..It always does!

ETA--So SORRY for all the previous duplicates I just deleted..WS is acting up for me today..Anyone else?

I am one of the few. This should be checked out. :twocents:

As far as photos pre-concert. I am no expert, but I would think everyone is too busy getting ready, pretty, driving to JMU, changing cars, talking, just in it for the experience and no time for photos. If there were photos, I would think all of the friends involved have had to turn them over to LE along with whichever device took them, cell phone, camera, etc... I just think they were all too stoked to drive there and arrange all that driving and switching cars to think of it. JMO.

So far the NECKLACE has not been found. That much I know. Reading too many websites now. I think all else has now been found. Don't quote me on that point, lol!

What else do we know about the burnt house? This can’t all be coincidence..

No one is certain, you can share your theory here though. :blowkiss:
