According to
MSM reports, Morrie says "A friend of ours told me today that 'You won't hear from those 2 girls anymore!"
When Morrie uses the words "a friend of ours", he must mean someone from their group, website, etc. Someone everyone knows, but Morrie leaves out his name for obvious reasons.
What "friend of ours" is Morrie possibly talking about?
Based on my research of UtopiaGuide threads, which I can't link to here, Morrie is the owner of LongIslandErotic.com (the site where the threat against Amber was initially made) as well as a member of a group called the CCC. This group also includes these members:
- teps
- lightweight
- wolf
- billyS
- magicfingersny
One member of the CCC claims that the group regularly uses "backchannels" to communicate with each other outside of the main bulletin boards. My research suggests that this is an e-mail distribution list and Private Messaging through LongIslandErotic.com
They meet up to visit strip clubs, particularly on the Edison Strip in West Babylon, and they review their experiences with different "providers".
They post publicly on the UG boards to share their experiences with non-group members, but it seems much of their communication is over e-mail and private message.
One of their group members, magicfingersny, was kicked out of the CCC group in late 2008. MagicFingersNY claimed that someone from another board (presumably LongIslandErotic.com) had been making physical threats against him, which he claimed "were prosecutable".
Apparently he had been kicked out for a lack of discretion, like calling CCC members at home, work, etc. There was also something going on related specifically to "Morrie's girl".
On January 15, 2010, someone from UtopiaGuide reported that the Suffolk County Police Department had informed them that magicfingersny had died. No cause of death or link was provided.
I researched Suffolk County police news for the days preceding the 15th, and all I found was an unsolved murder of a 44 year old man on January 13, 2010 in North Amityville. Apparently someone shot 3 men in a parking lot, leaving 1 dead and 2 with gun shot wounds. At this point, I have no way of verifying if this victim was magicfingers. It could be totally unrelated, but it seems to me unlikely that SCPD would contact a fellow UtopiaGuide poster if that person wasn't in their immediate family and inform them of a person's death (i.e., overdose, etc.). It seems more likely that there was some type of investigation going on, perhaps that involved police contacting numbers from the victims phone, etc., and that's how this UtopiaGuide poster came to learn about the death of MagicFingersNY.
