Howard County police say they're charging the teenaged daughter and her boyfriend with Friday's early morning murder of the girl's father.

Police say they found the body of Dennis Lane at his home in Ellicott City after getting a 911 call around 4:20a.m.

Jason Anthony Bulmer, 19, of the 8800 block of Town & Country Blvd. in Ellicott City and Morgan Lane Arnold, 14, of the 8100 block of Winding Ross Way in Ellicott City, will both be charged this evening as adults with first- and second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Police believe Bulmer and Arnold have discussed killing Lane through electronic communication for the last two months, and that yesterday they discussed finally committing the murder during the night. Investigators believe Arnold told Bulmer that she would leave the basement sliding glass door unlocked so he could make entry during the night to commit the crime.

Investigators believe that once Bulmer was inside the residence, Arnold encouraged him to stab her father and Bulmer committed the act. Police have learned that Bulmer began stabbing Lane, and an adult resident inside the home heard the commotion and called 911 around 4:20 a.m. She was not injured.

Both Bulmer, who had blood on his hands and clothes, and Arnold were sitting in an upstairs bedroom when the police arrived. Officers found Lane deceased with multiple stab wounds in a different upstairs bedroom.

Detectives believe Arnold told Bulmer they would run away together after the murder. It is unclear what motivated the two to kill Lane.

Slain Ellicott City Blogger's Daughter, Boyfriend Face Murder Charges

Howard County blogger Dennis Lane's 14-year-old daughter and her 19-year-old boyfriend have been charged with murder and conspiracy in Lane's death, according to police.

The two had been plotting the killing for months, according to police, and now face charges after Lane, 58, was found dead at his home in the 8100 block of Winding Ross Way. He had suffered multiple stab wounds, according to police.

Lane ran the Howard County blog Tale of Two Cities and co-hosted a Howard County Podcast "... And Then There's That" with Paul Scalny.

Lane's daughter, Morgan Lane Arnold, 14, and her boyfriend, 19-year-old Jason Anthony Bulmer of the 8800 block of Town and Country Blvd., will both be charged as adults, according to police.

Police are charging the two with first- and second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Lane's coworker Bill Harrison told the Howard County Times that Lane shared joint custody of Arnold and that the two were very close; she stayed with him during the week and her mother on the weekends.

"He never shared with me anything that would have led to me believe that such violence could?ve happened," Harrison told the Times.

According to a statement released by police, investigators believe Arnold and Bulmer had discussed, through "electronic communication," killing Lane for the last two months.

They went through with it overnight Thursday, according to police.

Arnold told Bulmer that she would leave the basement door unlocked so that he could get into the house, according to police. Once Bulmer was inside, police say, Arnold ?encouraged him to stab her father? and he did. A woman who lives in the house with Lane heard a commotion and called police about 4:20 a.m.

When police arrived at the home, they found Bulmer - with blood on his hands and clothes ? and Arnold sitting in a bedroom. Police said they found Lane dead with multiple stab wounds, in a different bedroom.

Police say they believe Arnold told Bulmer they would run away together after the killing.

The two were students at Mt. Hebron High School, according to a statement by the Howard County Public School System. Counselors will be made available for students and staff who need emotional support Monday.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim?s family and everyone affected by this terrible tragedy," the statement read.

To make a guess, age difference between daughter and boyfriend probably didn't have father's approval. Way too sad.

that`s what jumped out at me....a 19 year old dating a 14 year old...

if the relationship had been consumated,wouldn`t that be considered statutory rape?...not sure what the age consideration in the eyes of the law is...
