Virginia Tech Student Vanishes From Concert
Wednesday October 21, 2009
A 20-year-old Virginia Tech junior who kept tickets to a Metallica concert on her refrigerator six months prior to the event, disappeared from the arena Saturday minutes before the concert was set to begin. Police are searching for Morgan Dana Harrington, who vanished from the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville.
Her parents said Morgan checks in with them daily and her disappearance is out of character.
Morgan was with friends at the concert but left them just before the concert was to begin. She later called them to tell them she was outside of the arena. Later, police found her purse and cellphone. The battery had been removed from the phone.
She was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with "Pantera" across the front in tan letters, a black mini skirt, black tights and black knee-high boots.
No Evidence of a Crime
Harrington is 5-6, and 120 pounds. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Morgan is a pretty transparent kid, who's had a really close relationship with us," her father, Dan Harrington, told reporters. "I don't think there are lots of secrets, so this kind of behavior of (her) missing is not something I think we would expect."
Police, however, are treating the case as a missing person case. "We have no evidence that a crime has been committed," said Virginia State Police Lt. Joe Rader.
