I think a huge part of the problem was that Morgan's phone was somehow defective (maybe had been dropped a lot?) and the battery came out...somewhere...and she could not call them back
they had no way to call her...and no way to meet her and give her the clicker, the keys, or whatever...
IF she had money on her debit card she could have called a cab (they take debit/cc)
she could have taken a cab even to a nearby diner or something and waited it out and called her friends to pick her up
no phone....no money....maybe drinking/drugs...bad decisions all the way around
and NO I have not heard that her parents put money on her card...tho I am certain they wished they had...just as I am sure her "friends" wished they had made other arrangements/efforts etc
It's possible her parents gave her cash, or she had cash on her, or that even though overdrafted she may have been able to run something through on credit.
She kissed her friends goodbye, IMO, i think she was planning on leaving them for a spell, maybe going somewhere else or to meet up with someone else and not see her friends until much later on.
If she was in a desperate drastic situation, i truly believe she would have called the police or at least her parents on a
pay phone. Police could have been alerted by her talking to security. She tried to get back inside, yet we don't have reports of security seeing her in distress to the point that she wanted police called. So even though she tried to get back inside, IMO it doesn't seem to me that she was in danger just then.
She did tell her friends in that call that she would find a ride home, i think it's possible she was either meeting someone or had people in mind she knew from around the area. A lot of these kids have tons of friends in the surrounding college area.
Remember that Morgan did also make a text to a young man (not involved LE cleared him) as well that night. I believe, if my memory serves me correctly it was after she talked to SS, however if anyone can find the link to post i would be greatful.
What are you referring to when you say the friends must wish they made other arrangements? That they didn't join her outside when she was stuck out there?
On the FindMorgan site, her father has mentioned that various mistakes my different people made that night have all factored into the equation.
It's been mentioned before on here.
If she had no money as you believe, how could she pay for a cab to a nearby diner?
As for her parents, they feel horrible about this whole thing and my heart goes out to them. I'm sure her friends do as well.
IMO, i don't think the friends, or what people could have, should have done is the issue right now.
In the instance Morgan chose to leave the arena as she was meeting someone or had other plans, possibly she was to meet up with the friends later (for example if she was meeting someone who had their own car). Then Morgan wouldn't need hers, yet her friends would to meet up with her later. (Using this scenario as an example).
The question would be, in this scenario, who did Morgan meet up with? She went outside the arena, most likely with the intentions of leaving and not seeing her friends at least until much later on (kissing them goodbye).
After she does outside, she calls SS and tries to get back in. Maybe if she was to meet someone they didn't show or were late and she was going to try and get back in to kill time. She can't get back inside so maybe she meets someone, a friend, acquaintance, someone who is a friend of a friend, and possibly she goes off with them. That would be were things go bad.
Her friends were supposed to go to a party at JMU after the concert, perhaps Morgan had made plans to meet up with someone and not stay for the whole concert, and then meet her friends at JMU later... just to take a guess at things.
The only reason i can think for her to leave the concert (especially being she kissed her friends goodbye prior) is that she had plans to be somewhere else with someone else. Whatever happened once she went outside wasn't planned, which would explain the call to SS.
The reason possibly behind why her friends didn't go out to her or get her her keys may be due to Morgan telling them she would either meet up with them later or find a ride back there on her own.
To say she would find a ride when her friends have her car, would mean she had someone(s) in mind around the area who she thought she could get a ride with. That also would be why her friends didn't attempt to get her her own keys or go outside to her, IMO. If she told them she was in danger, the situation would be different. At that point in time, Morgan didn't appear to be in danger. After the phone call she tried to get back in, and then Lord knows what happened..
