me either - it would be wonderful if someone watching it could synopsize what they are saying for us on here.
Interesting. I remember all the news stories at the time about the Route 29 stalker, but I never had heard if he was ever caught.
I found this lengthy two-part article in The Hook:

The prime suspect was in jail for an assault on a bicyclist until 2007, then released on probation. According to the comments thread, he was sent back to jail for probation violation in April of this year. He had been living in Maryland. The second most likely suspect is dead. So probably a red herring -- but you never know. It is creepy.
I feel so bad for her mom. You can just tell this is really getting to her.
Hello, I am new here, I hope you don't mind me joining you but I find this case so heartbreaking. It just does not make sense to me. I have been to a lot of concerts in my time and you don't mistake a toilet door for the main door, so why did she end up outside. I know this has been discussed many times, but I think it is the crux of the matter.
We have a case here in England, (I'm from London), which is headlines here at the moment, of a 17 year old girl who was in college, who arranged to meet a chap she met on Facebook. She didn't tell her parents about him but told them she was going to stay with her friend on Sunday night and would be back home at lunchtime Monday. She didn't come home and unfortunately her body was found in a field on the Monday night. A 37 year old known sex offender has been arrested for her murder.
I just wondered if it was something like this with Morgan. (I hope not) Maybe she arranged to meet someone she had been communicating with for a while on Facebook.
Just putting a thought out there. I pray for her every night.
Still missing: Ed Smart joins Harrington parents; new details emerge
"She did make a few attempts to get back into the arena at different entrances, says Virginia State Police spokesperson Corrinne Geller in an email, declining to elaborate on which entrances or exactly how many times she tried. Previously, police had confirmed only one attempt before Morgan spoke to a friend inside and reportedly told them shed find her own way home.
In addition to that 8:48pm call, Geller says, police have thoroughly reviewed the phones history, including any texts. While Geller refused to elaborate on the number and source of texts sent or received, Morgans father, Dan Harrington, told national crime show anchor Nancy Grace that his daughter texted that night with a young man but that he was not in the Charlottesville area and was not considered a suspect. Morgans purse and battery-less phone were found Sunday morning, October 18, in the RV parking lot adjacent to the UVA track, where Morgan was seen, according to a police timeline, between 9:10 and 9:20pm the previous night. The phones battery, says Geller, has not been recovered."

Geller says police have reviewed hours of surveillance footage both from the Arena and from area businesses but have found no images of Morgan.
According to the owner of the closest convenience store to John Paul Jones Arena, the 7-11 on Ivy Road, it was several days before investigators reviewed her stores tapes.
I believe it was Wednesday, October 21, says 7-11 franchisee Sabiha Raja. An employee of BB&T bank declined comment on investigators reviewing surveillance at the bank, and the manager of the Cavalier Inn Best Western on Emmet Street did not return the Hooks call by posting time.
Morgans friends who also attended the concert her Blacksburg roommate Amy Melvin and JMU student Sarah Snead have not responded to the Hooks repeated requests for comment and appear to be maintaining complete media silence. But as chatroom criticism of the friends decision to head back to Harrisonburg the night of the concert without Morgan has mounted, Morgans parents, Dan and Gil, have publicly defended them.
