We can agree to disagree.
I don't think it was a serial killer, either, otherwise we'd here other reports in that area.
Not an ex either.
An acquaintance of some sort whether through her friends, or elsewhere.
The reason i say the attack is personal, is due to the fact that the killer had "hands on" with Morgan. As opposed to a drive by shooting, which would be impersonal.
I do believe that Morgan knew her killers, however vaguely, and that the killer certainly knew of her. I think she had come across her killer before, whether it be in class, or at a party. I would be surprised if the killer(s) chose her randomly, saw a random attractive Morgan and decided to attack her. This is all IMO.
If it is a stalker, he most likely wouldn't want to target her at school or in her own apartment. That's her turf, not his. She would have the upper hand. She also shared an apartment with her friend. School there would be others around.
In the area of the concert, either by chance, or knowledge, the perp(s) were there when she was, whether they saw her walking around, or were inside and followed her out.
A concert there is likely a huge event for the surrounding colleges, and it's likely many kids from colleges, high schools, and just plain fans from the surrounding area attended it.
So for her killer to have been at the concert is not that unlikely a conclusion.
I do agree with you that it's possible he's date raped girls before.
Perhaps she knew him somewhat and he offered her a ride to somewhere, and from the knowledge of knowing him through whoever or whatever she got in his car. Maybe he is the cocky egotistical type that when she rebuffed his advances he got offended as he had a crush on her.
Maybe he is the type that comes from wealth and power and is used to getting what he wants.
When Morgan denied him what he wanted, he took it.
Normally in a case, especially like Morgans, being that her parents are so on top of things and pushing to keep Morgan in the headlines, keep her remembered, LE would have caught the perp by now.
IMO, i believe LE knows who the perp(s) are. They are probably working to build a rock solid case against him, especially if he may come from wealth.
We see the $150,000 not touched as no one is coming forward. Most would out of moral obligation and want of money, especially that sum. That is why i'm sure our perp comes from wealth.
It's likely his family would hire one of the best defense lawyers in the country. LE needs to nail this guy, they can't have some attorney get him off on some technicality.

I know that many on here do not like how some of this article is worded, and railed Kopacki about it.
"The likely absence of significant concrete evidence, however, may not prevent law enforcement officials from narrowing in on suspects and advancing the investigation. Kopacki said most criminal cases today like Harringtons do not rely on physical evidence.
Most cases are circumstantial cases, which can be just as strong, but nowadays are hard to get through court, he said.
If the autopsy indicates that there was any sexual contact between Harrington and her killer, the likelihood the two knew each other beforehand increases significantly, Kopacki said. Police officials have not yet released details regarding whether the killer made any such advances toward Harrington."
LE doesn't release everything to us within good reason. Why many got upset that Kopacki and maybe misread how this was stated, in Morgan's case, it remains true that Morgan and her killer knew each other prior to her murder.
IMO, we're not looking a known RSO or serial killer, there would be other reports if it was a serial perp. Why it's true the perp may have date raped girls before, yet it remains unreported.
Kopacki states about the trouble getting some circumstantial cases through court. In the case of a perp(s) coming from wealth and power, this would stand true. It reinforces my belief that the perp comes from wealth and power.
We also see the perp seeking "power" through what he did to Morgan. Is he used to getting everything he wants and if he doesn't he will just take it.
Lack of anyone close to him turning him in, they don't need $150,000, they already have money. They have stand by their murderer children instead of turning him in for the murder and rape of Morgan Harrington.
They can't hide their killer forever. They will come to find this out. The Harringtons and justice will prevail.
