thanks paulr i just find it hard to believe that someone would have tickets posted on the fridge for 6 months which i am assuming had printed on them NO REENTRY with same ticket or something similiar.i am assuming it would have been posted on the doors.and according to jpj patrons are told if they exit there is no readmission.so M waits 6 months for this concert drives 3 hrs to get there then just walks outside RIGHT before metallica to get fresh air or lost im sorry i dont buy it.unless she was REALLY out of it.i would like to add that maybe this old friend or whomever didnt plan an abduction or murder maybe it just ended that way.jmo
Here are some ways Morgan may have left JPJ inadvertently that would not be inconsistent with being a Metallica fan and awaiting the concert for months, ranked kind of by my estimation of how likely:
1. Misunderstood where the smoking area was (or, less likely, imho, where the restrooms were), maybe even mis-directed (or so she thought) by a security guard, or pointed outside to get cell phone reception..."you can only get reception outside," e.g. (with her subsequent anger being directed at having been so directed by an "official")
2. If an announcement was made to "go outside and get some fresh air" (as was reported for a more recent JPJ concert), and she didn't realize the no re-entry policy; again, anger could be at the "official announcement"
3. She needed to get outside quickly, due to nausea or other physical reaction (could have been caused by drinking, smoking for the first time in awhile, head injury, etc.), and ignored any posted or spoken warnings in her haste
4. Ignored posted or spoken warnings to go outside for whatever reason, and thought that she'd be able to get back in (note, I don't think she was getting anything from her car, if indeed the DD still had the keys, unless she forgot she didn't have them)
5. Was lured outside with some promise, and was told she'd get back in a different way (e.g., backstage pass to meet the band)
6. Left to meet someone, ignoring the Metallica show
In my own opinion, #5 and #6 are the least likely (though plausible), because she was reportedly not seen with anyone in particular right around the arena in the 8:20 - 8:48 time frame, and she tried to get back in fairly quickly, then went walking away from there.
If she was "stood up" in either scenario, then the walking may have been purposive, I agree, but why the interactions first with the four guys, then the basketball players, moving increasingly away from JPJ (and with no calls/texts to set up a meeting place)?
Of course, #5 and #6 more neatly point toward who might have done this than the happenstance of Morgan's getting barred by mistake from JPJ and then coming to harm.
