GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - An arrest warrant was issued for the daughter of blues artist Muddy Waters in the 1996 murder of a 19-year-old man, authorities said.
Timothy Harrington was shot and his death was linked to a drug deal, according to court records. His remains weren't found until 2000.
After determining the identity of the remains, detectives focused on Waters' daughter, Rosalind Morganfield, 34, and David Myhand, 38, of Gainesville.
Myhand was arrested Wednesday for first-degree murder and is being held without bond.
Authorities believe Morganfield lives in the Hillsborough or Pinellas County area, although she has been seen in Gainesville in recent weeks. Alachua County Sheriff's Lt. Jim Troiano said investigators have talked with family members, friends and artists such as musician Bo Diddley.
Muddy Waters, who was born McKinley Morganfield, died in 1983. |

Irony here is lyrics to Muddy's "Deep Down In Florida" from his great lp "Hard Again" clearly state:
Yeah, well I think I'll go down in Gainesville,
just to see an old friend of mine
Well, I believe I'll cut down in Gainesville,
oh, just to see an' old buddy of mine
Wonder what his daughter was thinkin?

Was she mentioned in the Muddy bio by Robert Gordon? Don't have a photographic memory but many of his children were mentioned. |
