   Related to Morgan’s case? No way. Not with the two cities 200 miles or so apart.

   Latest local news on Morgan (who’s father works for the hospital across the road from my previous employer) there’s a movement to release the video from the arena in hopes someone will recognize either Morgan, or persons of interest from the area of the farm where she was found.

   Portsmith is HUNDRED of miles from Charlotte. Why anyone would think the 2 are related? Very, very strange indeed.

   SM: Laura lives in Warrenton. The distance between Warrenton and Charlottesville is approx 72 miles. The fact they both went messing from concerts makes them similar. I think it’s strange that someone wouldn’t wonder if the two are related (klaasend)

   They could EASILY be related. Any competent police officer will be able to tell.

   Ted Bundy killed girls from Seattle, WA to Gainesville, FL.

   72 miles is just over an hour’s drive, can easily be made by someone stalking and killing girls from concerts. A concert is the perfect place for a predator of this sort.

   The highway is interstate quality all the way between the two cities. An hour and fifteen minutes plus the time to drive to the concert venue. Not long at all.
   LE needs to determine if any type of service group is common to both places. There are companies that travel all over the United States to provide epuipment such as lighting,special effects, staging and other services.
   I hope that there is survelance video both inside and outside of the building.
   This young woman was probably seperated from her party by some reason and that allowed the predator to operate.
