Seems very personal. My heart goes out to the family.

I heard KSP feels very good about getting this guy.

Apparently there was scaffolding up on the house, and intruder climbed up and broke into a window.

…what I don’t understand. This is a 200 acre, unbelievable estate with a literal nuclear fallout shelter surrounded by 39in concrete walls, a steel/concrete vault door, world class air filtration system, etc. And the perimeter of this house wasn’t secure? This palace is a literal minute from the interstate in a weird spot. Richmond ain’t “dangerous”, but this place is not secluded or far from anybody.

Witnesses say they saw this homeless looking fellow leaving the crime scene. If you have any idea who he is please contact the KSP.

There’s been reports of surveillance video showing a 6 foot 4, will wade/Amy McGrath lookalike going into the bunker around this time.

There is also speculation going around that it could be related to her time practicing as an attorney and could be considered a revengeful vendetta. Of course, that is pure speculation at this point.

Do not know her at all, but think that firm is known locally for civil defense work, like insurance defense. Would not think they would be involved in the kind of litigation where lawyers get whacked. Just looked at their local office website and their featured practice areas are workers comp, trucking and commercial transportation and securities litigation.

But my comment too is also pure speculation.

Saw that too but not buying it. Total bs for them to even print it. The angle was related to some human trafficking prosecution she worked on years ago. She was only 32 and just got a really nice job. She worked for a prosecutor just out of law school iirc, so she wouldve had nothing to do of substance on the case

Morgan is a Republican. Maybe a pattern will develop over the next few weeks, but I hope not. Why did someone open up on a bunch of Republicans playing softball? There isn't always a rational thought behind such a choice

Meh I'd be shocked if it was political. He was out of office for awhile and did nothing really of note while in there iirc.

Definitely something weird about this though. To so easily breach a compound built to survive nuclear war, fallout, and post apocalyptic social anarchy....is strange
So probably some po'ed associate?

I think I saw this same thing on an episode of Snapped but the kid and the dad got into it, he snapped, shot the kid and then shot himself in a superficial way to make it look like an intruder.

I just think based on everything I’ve read this far it had to be someone who had already been in that house and knew their way around.

I just don’t think this is an instance of some rando going “I’m going to go rob the rich people” and things going wrong.

Which is why I’m thinking scorned lover.

And the sequence. I wouldn't think the daughter would be in the line of fire when they are shooting it out or at least the odds would be low she would get out of bed at the sound of gun shots and get hit. So given that you would have to think she was shot first and then the parents were either targeted to keep them from talking or they confronted the person after the shot and that's when they were hit. Who really knows at this point but that's my theory.

I’ve seen enough murder mystery shows to know “normal” looking people are capable of horrific things.

Press release says this kid was previously caught on camera wondering outside of the house.

I wish the Morgan family the best. I hope they catch this guy and get justice.

KSP said she wasn't targeted. Weird.


It depends on where the shootout with the dad occurred. If she was this target, she would’ve been executed in the bed and the guy would sprint out the window and be gone.....meaning the shootout would’ve likely happened on his way out. If she wasn’t the target.....or at least the lone target.....the guy started to make his way through the house towards the dad....leaving the shootout inside the house.

Why? Is there evidence supporting that. Not that it isn’t true, or more likely than some other scenario. Also, the KSP did sort of go out of their way to say she was not the target.

Im not buying that kid was romantically involved with Jordan Morgan…

…largely because murdercrow sucks and I’ll disagree with whatever he thinks.

News said the shooter had camping gear in his carolla, so be on the lookout in wilderness areas.

The news story says she was shot in her bed. That sounds like a strong possibility of a stalker to me.

Of course this says otherwise, so MoC is wrong again:

Based on their initial investigation, police believe there was not a connection between Morgan and Gilday prior to the incident. Sgt. Robert Purdy said they currently believe she was not the target.

I don’t know how someone can be shot in their bed and you say they’re not targeted unless the person doing the shooting thought they were shooting another person.

Doesn’t add up.

You break in the window, go door-to-door, her door was first.

Could be that simple.

That residence was targeted. All we know. Wesley owned it.
