Am I reading this correctly?!?!? :waitasec:
The woman is/was ready and willing to give a description of the 3 men and the cops didn't/wouldn't take the info!?!? But then the cops say there was not any significant lead?!?! Please, please tell me I'm reading this wrong!! :help:

Good question-I have no idea about this -surely it must be a mistake-they would have taken a full description I would think?
Also surprising they never called back the couple who had a chat with her at 9pm...

Or maybe the info got mixed up as it was passed on from source-maybe it should read "she was not able to give a description"?

so 3 men-college age or older? what were they wearing? what do they look like...so she went to party with them and they promised to go back to h-burg? or checkin somewhere? was their car parked near jpj or somewhere else? sounds like the brit drexel case. so now we know she had to have been seen at a party or a bar? with several dudes-the perps i guess? these dudes frequent the uva area i wonder? but from h-burg? has their description been circ'd in h-burg/jmu? uva? who had the party? what bars are in the area? people partying after the concert might have seen her.

Problem is how can we know for sure.
Here are the sightings we have:

Initial sighting arriving in car excited to be at concert
1. We have a sighting of her inside taking pictures with her phone
2. of her falling and injuring her nose
3. of looking upset as if she had been hit in the smoking area
4. alone outside arena frustrated at being locked out by 2 or 3 sets of people
5. a sighting in an altercation with one guy
6. a sighting of her dropping her purse multiple times in the car park
7. a sighting with 4 guys in black t-shirts
8. a sighting on a bridge, by the railroad tracks
9. beside a black vehicle on side of road
10. and now one with 3 guys much later in night.

We just don't know which is true and which isn't or which was another girl. I imagine LE know who is credible. It's sad no one is able to give a proper description of the guys.
I know a couple of witnesses are absoluteley positive it was her as they had a conversation about her t-shirt. But then maybe it didn't help LE much since they saw her and then went in and that was it
 
Take a peek at this set of comments ... read the 2nd story (Oct 22) the 8th comment, from Angela. She is a friend of Morgan's. http://tinyurl.com/yjxftt7 It's nice to read some insight from someone that actually knows her!

Thanks wadahoot! yes nice to hear from a friend of hers-there are a few comments from her friends on the FB page too plus they have their own page up for her.

Wow and completely off topic-those other headlines of crimes on that page are scary!-the mug shots of those people! -wow I wish I'd never seen those-leaves me sick in the stomach
 
Below is an excerpt from the linked article from the comments section.

This poster writes of her parents submitting, "only older pictires" of Morgan. Wha? Are they OLD pix? from.... "...when she weighed more?"

And I would tend to agree that Metallica is not mainstream, but Im not sure what kind of judgment call the poster (below from the linked site - not here) was trying to insinuate ... or rather what he/she wanted the reader to infer from that last little remark. IDK.


" Regarding Morgan.... I am far away from Virginia but logic might help in this case. There would likely only be 2 reasons she would wander away from her friends before the concert began... a boy or drugs...perhaps a combination of those 2. If boy, she was using this concert as a front to be with him during the show and catch up with her friends later asking "Where were you?" If this is the case, they would likely know about it through internet correspondenses. More likely, she had a little wild streak in her and wanted to experiment with narcotics. She overdosed and whomever it was she met ditched her ID and removed the phone battery. They then disposed of her.

By the fact that her parents are offering only older pictures of her when she weighed more, they are refusing to acknowledge who she has become which was a gorgeous young, adventerous women.

Metalica concerts are not mainstream events. "

If Morgan was supposed to "Get a ride back" -- WHERE was she to get a ride back TO?
Her apt that she shares with concert-go-er/slash/roomie, Amy in Vtech? She didn't have her keys. Or was it a ride back to JMU Harrisonburg? Why does a person need to, "get a ride" period when their own car is right there?

I'm having a huge, huge problem buying that whole, "she said she'll get a ride OR meet us after the concert" business b/c frankly that does make a lot of sense. It's vague and indefinite and screams loose ends imo. "Home" is not down the street for cryin out loud.

And unless Morgan's, "I'll get a ride OR meet you after the concert" message was texted - which I suppose would be proof, (would it? Im not a techy) ....well.. I just cant seem to wrap my brain around any of that bologna. (sorry.)

And how did they HEAR to talk to each other on the phone anyway in there? HOW? You guys saw the clips. sheesh

GMAFB

I'm telling you, this just blows. I don't know how exactly - but it definitely blows.

Please correct me here, you guys;

So Mr Harrington buys the tickets for the whole group six months in advance; they take Morgan's car there to the arena. She doesn't see the main act b/c she's outside and barred re-entry, on a cold rainy night in an out of town location, no one pools their funds to purchase a cheap ticket just to get her back in the door so she can return to her original seat; No one takes the car keys to her at the gate/exit, the keys to her own car so she can wait it out;

Then afterwards they drive HER car "home" or wherever home was for the night -- JMU etc but nevertheless they drive her car out of C'ville ....without her in it. and they call NO ONE -- EVEN THE NEXT FREAKIN DAY???

Got it.


and it blows....

Well, the issue of the car is still all over the place. We are back to what we originally thought at the very start now-it was her friends' car after all -hers parked half way in the other town. As per Jessica's link above

Morgan Dana Harrington was reported missing by her father after not returning home from a Metallica concert at the University of Virginia. Police found her purse, with her ID and cell phone, in the parking lot of the University of Virginia's John Paul Jones Arena. Her car was still in the lot but there was no trace of Morgan. (UPDATE: Previous news reports of her car being in the parking lot are false. Police corrected the record stating that she road (sic) with firends)

OK thanks, Waddles.

So we are back where we were initially with the car; Her car was only to go the first leg of the trip from Vtech to harrisonburg/JMU.

But I still say it blows for all the same reasons imo. I mean it's still really really BAD.... RE the car not being hers vs being hers.... is like IDK -- being hit in the head with one hammer instead of two. KWIM? Iow, it still blows.

Another thing I don't understand, all of the info we have so far keeps somehow changing, remember they even changed the location of her purse once saying

He says a passer-by found her purse and cell phone between the arena and an athletic field at the University of Virginia.

....not to mention they keep changing the story about the friends saying she was leaving. First she was and then she wasn't.....ugh which is it now?

Hmm not sure who wrote that article or how accurate this story is? The word road is misspelled. It should read ...

Hi Heroine

no kiddin! ;)
Hence my addition of "sic"

But yeah no idea which dummy wrote that on the article.
If you recall at the very start though we were told it was not her car and that hers was parked back at the other place on the way there.
 
Just thought I'd check in and see if there's any news. Now there are reports that someone witnessed her falling and busting her nose/face inside the arena? Oh, no, this really isn't looking good. Morgan, where are you??? : (

Yes I know, this is really frustrating-I guess it's due to rumours and people being told not to release info? The press don't seem to be given very much info so they write what they heard.
