Does anybody know what happened with Matthew Harper after he was convicted of killing his sister in Burke? This was in 1995 where he stabbed her and torched the house. Is he in prison? I knew him in high school and he is a punk ass bitch.

Go to VA Corrections offender locator and you will see Matthew Harper is in Greenville facility and has a release date of 2029. He was convicted in 1997 so do the math. 32 years for murder and arson? This punk bitch got off relatively easy. However Greenville is the largest facility in VA and is very rough. I am pretty sure he has been licking and sucking many of black dicks and assholes.

This was so sad. I was friends with Ann. Her brother robbed her of fulfilling her dreams and aspirations. To make matters worse her mother defended Matthew feverishly. Matthew is locked away until 2029 if he makes it until then. From what I have been told about prison you never know when your time is up.

Fuck you assholes! I know Matthew is innocent. He was railroaded by a bitch detective. He was a good student at James Madison University and had a bright future. Why would he do this? He didnt.

I remember it took 2 years to catch him. Great police work to catch this sleazball. Shocked the community. I think she might have been his stepsister. I hopw he is getting his justice at Greenville. From what I understand he isnt that tough and nobody like woman killers or child molesters in prison.

I was just a kid back then and I don't remember any of this. Where exactly in Burke did this take place?

Do you think it was disclosed to the current owners that a murder took place in that home?

I lived in Burke Center behind Lake Barton in High school and my mom still lives there and this fucker's mom lives a few doors down. I never spoke to her in the 5 years I lived there but I do remember some media vans and shit for the news filming her front door for some fucking reason when the kid got convicted and sentenced.

I was prob 8th grade when he went away so I don't remember the story....he stabbed his sister to death and then lit the house on fire and almost killed grandma or something like that??? In middleridge?

He did it for money for his college, yes. He was jealous of Ann because she was smarteer and the better student. Now look where Matthew is, in prison with a new ass hole and having to perform sex acts or be killed and have his mom killed. Prison is not kind to woman killers and chomos. This guy is not a tough guy so he is a full fledged PRISON BITCH.

Any of you true friends would go visit Matthew at Greenville prison in Jarrett VA. He is doing fine. He still maintains his innocence. Feel free to write him or put money in his prison commissary account. God bless.

Can I send the Monster some KY jelly and a dildo? I know his asshole is hurting pretty bad from being rammed daily by big black men.

For everyone reading this STOP POSTING ABOUT MY SON. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW AND I WILL BRING YOU DOWN.

Thank you all for your interest in me. I am currently appealing my case and hope to out this year.

I remember Anne with great fondness: she was a bright part of my life. She was beautiful in every sense of the word and still remains in my heart. And yes she was brilliant--one of the smartest people I ever knew--and a gorgeous woman. She was talented, musical, fiery, gifted and smart. I still miss her. I loved her dearly.

The best way to honor her is to NOT dishonor her family.

Beth and Matt: God be with you--stay safe and know you are in my prayers.

What do you know about prison other than the bullshit television you watch? You don't know shit. You sound like a fucking moron.

I knew both Matt and Ann - such a loss. For those who say he's innocent, well, I assure you he is not. And for his mother to defend him is very sad as he tried to murder his mom and grandmother too. They almost didn't escape the fire with their lives. But I guess that's what you do when you've lost one child and the other rots in jail....you defend the one you have. I believe it was her or the grandmother that heard the two of them arguing and then woke to the fire....both of these kids had issues - stemming from a nasty divorce and I believe both were adopted. Ann shared many of these issues with her youth group advisors in church - I was one of those she confided in. So sad, I think of both Anna and Matt often. I hope he can come to terms with what he's done.....and that his mother can accept that one of her children murdered the other, and it could have been avoided had the children not been put in the middle of adult problems.

Matt was framed by that bitch detective. I am almost 100% sure he is innocent.

Wow Tom Jackman in 1988-

Victim's Words May Be Used in Murder
Trial
Diary Depicts Trouble With Suspect -- Her Brother
By Tom Jackman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, November 23, 1998; Page B01
In hundreds of journal entries, Anne Harper recorded the details of her life
as a Fairfax County high school student. At the time, her candid
observations about her friends, her classes and her family were meant to
be as private as those in any teenager's diary.
But six years later, Harper's writings may become pivotal in the trial of the
man charged with killing her -- her younger brother, Matthew. He is
accused of stabbing her to death at the family's home on Thanksgiving in
1995 and setting the house on fire to try to cover up the crime. Her diary
portrays Matthew Harper as a volatile youth who had bitter, sometimes
violent arguments with her and their mother.
"Matt and I had a major fight -- one of the biggest in years," Anne Harper
wrote in one entry. "He's been so damn aggressive toward me lately," she
wrote on another date. "Why? I haven't done anything."
Fairfax Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Raymond F. Morrogh declined
to comment on the diary last week. But the writings appear in court
records because he has provided a copy of the journal to defense
attorneys, an indication that he probably will try to use it at Matthew
Harper's trial, which is set for Jan. 25.
Arthur M. Schwartzstein, Harper's attorney, also declined to comment,
saying he could not discuss a pending case. He said his client and other
family members also would not comment.
Courts typically have ruled that the diary of a murder victim is inadmissible
because of the prohibition against hearsay testimony -- a witness testifying
about what someone else said. But in several high-profile cases across the
country, prosecutors have persuaded judges to bend that rule.
Such diaries often produce emotional courtroom moments, evoking both
the humanity and the vulnerability of the trial's absent victim. But the
journals usually prove very little about the crime and serve more to inflame
the jury than inform it, many defense lawyers contend.
In the O.J. Simpson murder trial, Judge Lance Ito prohibited the use of
Nicole Brown Simpson's diaries of alleged abuse, prompting the California
legislature to craft an exception to the hearsay rules after O.J. Simpson's
acquittal. Her journal was then admitted into evidence at his civil trial, a
factor that some legal observers cited in explaining why the jury in that case
ruled against him.
Anne Harper, who was 20 when she died, was found by firefighters who
responded to the blaze at the family's house in the 10900 block of Ryers
Place, just south of Fairfax City. Her body was discovered on the first
floor, and an autopsy later revealed that she suffered a deep stab wound in
the back.
Matthew Harper, then 18, was a suspect from the start, but not until three
years later did investigators believe they had enough evidence to charge
him. At the time of his sister's death, he denied any involvement and told
investigators he had been sleeping at a girlfriend's home when the fire
started.
When detectives asked him whether there were any problems in his family,
Harper said, according to police: "No, no fighting, no arguing. I have never
met a brother and sister that don't fight every now and then. On the whole,
the three of us [he, his sister and his mother] are a lot closer than almost
any family I have ever known, especially my sister and I."
But Anne Harper's diary, much of it written in 1992, paints a different
picture.
In February 1992, after her parents had separated, Anne wrote: "Mom
and Matt raised voices 'cause he wants to stay with Dad. . . . Matt
punched a hole in the wall and cracked a door. Scary."
In another set of entries, which have month and date headings but no year,
Anne Harper wrote: "Mom and Matt got into an awful fight today. . . . It
got physical. Mom has an awful red mark on her R eye, and for a while her
lower face (R) was swollen."
Such diaries "generally would not be recognized or admitted" at a trial, said
Marvin D. Miller, an Alexandria lawyer and director of the National
Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. An obvious problem, he said, is
that the defense attorney can't cross-examine the author.
William B. Moffitt, a defense lawyer in the District and vice president of
the defense lawyers' association, said the truth of such journals is always in
doubt. "There's no way to establish that the diary is a reliable reporting of
events," Moffitt said. "I am certain that it's not admissible in a Virginia
court."
Court records indicate that the diary is far from the only evidence
prosecutors will seek to present. Analysis of a bloodstain on Matthew
Harper's jeans indicated a DNA match with a blood sample taken from
Anne Harper's body, and a firefighter reportedly saw soot on Matthew
Harper's face consistent with being present at a fire, the court records say.
Using a victim's diary backfired on prosecutors in a 1986 trial in Prince
William County. Kristi Kauffmann, 14, committed suicide by throwing
herself in front of a train in Manassas. Her father, Paul James Kauffmann
Jr., was later charged with aggravated sexual battery on his daughter.
In her diary, Kristi Kauffmann wrote that her father was an "incestive
molesting jerk." She also made comments to a friend about her father.
Both the diary entry and the comments were admitted as evidence, with
prosecutors arguing that they showed her state of mind at the time of the
crime.
But the Virginia Court of Appeals said her state of mind was irrelevant and
reversed her father's conviction. Kauffmann was not retried.
Other prosecutors have had more success. Experts said California is
believed to be the first state to specifically allow hearsay evidence in cases
of domestic violence, such as the Simpson case.
But in Texas, prosecutors recently used a much older law to introduce the
diaries of an 11-year-old murder victim in the trials of her mother and the
mother's boyfriend.
Bobby Wayne Woods was charged with killing Sarah Patterson in April
1997, and Sarah's mother was charged with child neglect. In both trials,
Hood County District Attorney Richard Hattox had witnesses read from
Sarah's diary, in which she described her dislike for Woods. Both trials
resulted in convictions.
A long-standing Texas law allows both the state and the defendant in
murder trials "to offer testimony as to all relevant facts and circumstances
surrounding the killing and the previous relationship existing between the
accused and the deceased." Hattox noted that defense lawyers could turn
the law to their advantage by trying to show a loving relationship between
suspect and victim.
And this month in a Wilmington, Del., courtroom, jurors are hearing
excerpts from the diaries of Anne Marie Fahey, a 30-year-old secretary to
Delaware Gov. Thomas R. Carper (D). Fahey was killed two years ago,
and her boyfriend, prominent Philadelphia lawyer Thomas J. Capano, is
charged with her slaying.
The diaries describe Fahey's loving feelings about the relationship, and later
her disgust. "What a controlling, manipulative, insecure, jealous maniac,"
she wrote in her final entry.
When prosecutors suggested using the diaries, defense lawyers didn't
object. Instead, at the start of the trial, the defense revealed a surprising
new theory: that Capano disposed of Fahey's body but didn't kill her.
"The diaries help both sides," said Eugene J. Maurer Jr., one of Capano's
attorneys. "Due to our defense, her state of mind is relevant. We did not
object to the [diaries'] admissibility."
Capano's attorneys have not revealed their theory of how Fahey died.

Products of divorce. Not unexpected.

Wait til the children raised by "gay unions" grow up. I know two already... totally messed up.

>Products of divorce. Not unexpected.
>Wait til the children raised by "gay unions" grow up. I know two already... >totally messed up.

What's your excuse?

Anne was NOT his step sister. I loved that family like my own. The entire thing still brings me grief. Matt has apparently gone on and gotten a college degree and as I understand it, is on a track to Episcopal ordination.

When a family gets divorced, it hurts everyone who was in relationship with the family. Collateral damage. It's very sad. You grieve the loss of the family and the loss of the girl and the loss from the girl's suicide or murder. Destruction. Although, your loss, as a neighbor or friend, is never really recognized which makes it harder somehow. Except, grief is a lonely passage. A passage we all must take at different times and for different reasons. If we don't walk the path of grief, the lonely mournful sadness, we will never move beyond our losses. We all have losses. Many of them. And when sadness comes, let it come. Go through it. Then you will be able to move on.

Life. Make it good.

Still wont prevent gang rapes from big black niggers who want to fuck white people up the ass because it is whitey who sent them to prison.

Why did he kill his sister? Also the police took 3 years to finally arrest him? Should have gotten him that same day. Weird case.

Money dumbass. Read the case files and you will see he wanted to kill his mom also for life insurance and for the house. He also had a history of filing insurance claims for a stolen motorcycle and other stuff that he actually frauduantly got rid of. Bad kid who was greedy beyond belief for a 18 year old. Probably should have gotten life but did a plea deal will be about 53 when he is released in 2029.

Matt's family attended the church that I and my family attended. My children went to Robinson Secondary School where I also taught. When this tragedy happened, my family was in the midst of its own tragedy, but I was immediately in mourning for this family.

My oldest son was convicted of dealing drugs and sentenced to 25 years in the Federal system. He was released in 2014 after spending 21 years in prison. Like the Harper family, we continued to love and support our son. One does not require one's children to be perfect to be loved. We love them unconditionally. That doesn't mean that we approve of their actions, It means that we forgive them and continue to love them.

I just read Matt's essay in which he accepts responsibility for his actions and expresses remorse. He is being punished for his actions by the state. We do not have to continue punishing him and his family by writing nasty words about him and his family. Matt is working to redeem his and his family's image. The rest of us can show compassion to him and his family as easily as we can continue to denounce him.

There is life after prison. My son is almost 46 and is accomplishing work that he started while in prison. He is also catching up on all of the years he missed out on. His wife of ten years is sharing in his new life. Hang in there, Matt. I am praying for you and your family.

Sorry to hear about what the criminal governemnt did to ruin your son's life. Drugs should be decriminalized, eliminating the illegal drug trade and allowing for appropriate treament for addicts. Or WAR ON DRUGS FOREVER!!!! (seems to be working well...)

BTW, If he spent 21 years in prison what the fuck was he selling? Part of that huge LSD bust at Robinson in the 90s?

Regardless, your point about Harper is stupid. He's a fucking murderer. Planned and murdered his sister for money and then burned the house down trying to kill his grandmother???

You can save your Christian forgiveness for the other sheep who can't think for themselves. Forgiveness for worthless monsters in not a redeeming quality in my world. Execute that scumfuck and help improve the gene pool.

Totally agree. Fuck Matthew Harper and his Christian fairness. Let the tapes continue

Of course he is sorry now and wants forgiveness.

I mean dude just had a bad night can't we cut him some slack. It's not like he's a sociopath or anything....

lolz at christians defending this puke.

RIP to the innocent victim who died for no reason other than her brother's greed and/or insanity.

I knew him personally at the time of the murder and then had a front seat to what happened at JMU during his arrest. For who he was then, it never surprised me one bit.

I haven't followed the story. The last time I researched it, I think he was still saying he was innocent, so if it is now that he has come clean and asked for forgiveness, I wish him well. I certainly would hate if I had to still pay for bad mistakes I made when I was a teenager (mind you, they certainly were not this bad) and am in no sense close to the same person I was then.

To Anne F - "One does not require one's children to be perfect to be loved," I'd definitely question my love for one of my children if they killed the other. I suppose no one wins here but if Matt can take his experience and positively impact the lives of fellow convicts and/or people who could make similar bad decisions, then hopefully he can still make his life have some sort value. It's a better response than those who let a prison experience further divulge themselves into a worthless, wasted life so I wish him luck.

Not only was he convicted after a thorough and lengthy investigation, he's admitted to it:

https://prisonlectionary.net/2016/09/02/essay-insights-17-years-in-prison/

"I have murdered my sister, and I am loved and supported by my parents."

Yo!

Niggers don't care if you are a "good Christian" in prison. They still want that white boy meat for payback from slavery. That's how prison in VA works. I know. I did 8 years in Sussex 1, Sussex 2, and Indian Creek.
