The medical school wasn't some backroom brainstorm to boost the positiion of VT and the region. It was years and years in the making btwn state govt, academia, and private health company.Harrington is a mover and shaker. Johson is a "professional rock star' as VT called her. They are majorly connected. As the leading medical experts at VT, I am sure they were very involved in the crisis management of the campus shootout tragedy 2 years ago.

I believe there was legitimate concern (by family at least) Morgan may have run off initially. Harrington did what he thought was best for finding his daughter. One reporter aptly described Harrington as "carefully orchestrating" the media attention. As with any power struggle, UVA LE and/or VSP had different ideas. Additionally, LE had to notice the startling resemblance between Morgan and the VT freshman coed shot in the Jefferson Nat'l Forest and wonder if a predator was on the loose. Any one of these entities has their own internal poliitics and power struggles. Ugh. It's like watching a mini-series of the town hall /tea party debacle. IOW, if I wanted to watch and discuss politic, I'd be on that thread.


I guess my beef is that money and power shouldn't determine how victims and justice are served. But it does. There is all this outcry over a beautiful, white coed voluntarily exiting an arena of a very elite unversity. Oh the injustice she was left in a lit parking lot fend for herself for a few hours. Meanwhile, in Cleveland...I digress. I hope Morgan is found safe JMT&OO.
I believe Cleveland has been front page news since that story first broke. I have read many many articles so far about it. Only one of the identified was even reported missing by their families. Other families of missing won't even give a DNA sample to try and identify the remaining victims. A lot of blame rests on the victims families for not reporting and not helping to DNA the remaining victims.

Hi n/t. So far nothing..Hmmm I don't know what to think about this one. I'm going back and forth w/it still. So much for Brians predictions, it seems.

It's disappointing nothing was found, but I think many thought she had been taken away from the area by vehicle or if she ran away, is far from there now, so it's not surprising. At a minimum, LE can widen their search parameters.

Still, hoping and praying that some clue or something is found today!

Has there been another missing person connected with Metallica? Or maybe Pearl Jam? Seems like I have heard something in the past.

I know there are quite a few missing that were connected with the Grateful dead. And an unidentified male in Va that was connected to the band.

Just thinking if there is a pattern here somewhere.

I hadn't heard or read about the paper lady until now.
Morning n/t. The newspaper lady is interesting. She says she saw all of thier faces and draws faces. So, did she draw the faces of these boys yet? That could be helpful if she is telling the truth. According to her, Morgan wasn't wearing her stockings anymore.. Was she going into a dorm?

Morning Tam,

The lady sounds convinced it was Morgan, however LE hasn't followed up with her since then. I wonder if it's because the tip wasn't credible or are they following up behind the scenes?

I hadn't seen anything about that before, either. I'm really not sure what to make of it. If it really was Morgan the paper lady saw, that tends to negate the Copeley Bridge sighting -- unless Morgan was all over the place that night. When she says the four people she saw were being noisy, she doesn't indicate what kind of noise; i.e., whether the girl was protesting, seemed to be in distress, etc. Even if it turns out to be nothing, I think the tip needs to be thoroughly investigated.

Good Morning Serena. I got the impression that this group was just being kids. I would think if Morgan was distressed in any way, surely this women would have notified some kind of security.. And if someone were trying to do harm to Morgan, surely they wouldn't have been making all of that noise. I got the impression that Morgan was entering a place w/some guys, but no other girls. This place definately should be checked out w/a fine tooth comb, right down to the walls.

Thanks. That is the case I was thinking about. I do not know how I confused the two.
