Just to clarify, after the concert Sarah, Amy and Dan rode back to JMU in Morgan's. (Car)

There has been quite a bit of outrageous discussion on this forum regarding a comment that Sarah Sneed made about four drove up and two rode back.
SS actually claimed that
three drove to C'Ville that night & two returned to Harrisonburg. Here is the quote:

I talked with two Roanoke area people who came up to help with the search.
Roanoke County Police Sergeant Jim Herrick told me he took the day off from work to come up to search. Herrick says his daughter is one of Morgan Harringtons nine close friends from Northside High School.
I also spoke with current JMU student, Northside High School graduate, and close friend of Morgan Harrington, Sarah Snead.
Snead told me she was one of the three people in Morgans car on the way to the Metallica concert, and one of the two people in the car on the way back from the concert to JMU. Snead talked about Morgans phone call from outside John Paul Jones Arena the night of the concert, as well as how Dan and Gil Harrington have been pillars of support for her since Morgan disappeared.(end of quote)
Seems strange to me that DH would make an error regarding SS's public statement to WSLS; although he and his family must be suffering terribly from the strain of this situation. They need to get a really good private investigator to examine all the facts with detachment & objectivity.
This comment has been interpreted in all sorts of ways as meaning that one of the people, i.e. Sarah, Amy or Dan stayed behind that night.
Or that one of them got a ride separately, which would not have been unusual or suspicious in any way.
Such was never the case. The only thing Sarah is guilty of was being nervous when this comment was made to the press.
Yes, SS may have been confused or nervous. Given the horrible circumstances, WSLS would have been willing to add a correction or a clarification to her November 6th statement to reporter Scott Leamon.
She was not trying to hide anything or talking in riddles.
SS's statement did not clarify who exactly traveled with MH's party to C'ville that night & who exactly returned.
How exactly would DH know whether the group were hiding something? They were certainly less than forthright in volunteering any info regarding the whereabouts of the car during the relevant time period.
BTW: We Americans seem to have a taboo against suspicion, which sets us up to be victims of serious crimes.
All along she was referring to the girls as it relates to the number that came back. She was not including Dan the driver in the comment about the number who came back. Today, Dr. Harrington posted this comment on the family forum on page number 17 of the Hitchhiking and Picked Up thread. The family wants to make certain everyone understands the actual facts as to what occurred that night as it relates to the return trip to JMU.
Clearing these details up will be helpful. The more actual facts are presented, the more the public may be able to help. A more detailed timeline including MH's activities previous to the concert in Harrisonburg might also be helpful. Still, we don't know her educational history (JMU?) or if she were involved in any particular social groups or events.
Thank you. Interesting comments.
