:waitasec:
btw, I'm not trying to offend you.
To me, I understand the no-reentry but I would like to know if she actually was in to begin with because yes, it would matter because it would tell me that something happened to make her leave.
A person her age has probably been to the arena before so she probably knew about the policy ... I think she was there, I'm just not sure if she was ever inside
JMO: Technically it is possible (though unlikely) that MH never entered the arena.

The VSP report implies that a friend stated that MH was trying to get
back into the arena. We don't know which friend they spoke to or if this person's statement was corroborated by other potential witnesses; however, this account was considered reliable enough to include in an official report.
Quote from the same link:
Official Virginia State police summary investigative Case #: 09-83020523 :
8:20 - 8:48 PM: Someone matching Morgan Harrington's description was seen outside John Paul Jones Arena parking lot by the ticket office and on the University Hall side.
8:48 PM: Morgan calls a friend inside the arena, discusses trying to get back in. Tells her friend that she will get a ride home from friends around Charlottesville.
According to LE's summary, the "group" (consisting of MH, AM, SS and DC) wasn't necessarily together inside the arena. They could have all split up on arrival. Perhaps they did not enter the arena together. DC may have left the girls off in front of the arena as he went to park the car. One or two of the girls may have accompanied him. At this point, MH may have separated herself from any or all of her companions; for example, she may have wanted to interact with some acquaintance in the crowd & promised to meet up with the others later.
MH may later have called one of the companions
falsely claiming to have been inside the arena. Maybe MH wanted an excuse for not meeting up with her companions at all. Claiming to have been locked out would work.
Other possible evidence:
1. No photographs of her inside the arena have been released.
2. The accounts of the events of the evening 10/17/09 made by her companions have not been released, leading to a lot of unanswered questions; such as,
where exactly was MH's car parked?
3. No one who knew MH personally has stated that they definitely saw her or interacted with her inside the arena (unless this info has not been released).
