Okay, this is creepy. Compare NK with the stalker drawing.... Of course the stalker is around 5' 10",
I do not know how tall NK is....

Wow! That is a very eerie match up there! It is possible that NK lied about his height on the FB for whatever reasons.. Unless we could see more pics of him next to people or things to try and get an idea how tall he is, he may have lied about his height, even his age on there..

Well I guess this answers our questions about if you could possibly sneak marijuana into the concert. i'm not implying anything, just giving info that we had wondered about...

did anyone else notice that the entire arena smelled like weed

Look at post #17... just wondered if maybe she wrote that. That person hasn't logged on since Sept., was going with three friends, their first Metallica show, and seated in section 312.

Wondering if LE is aware?? Perhaps they could check into it, see if the user's email matches Morgans, and if so, see if she exchanged pm's with anyone on the board regarding the show? In that thread, pre-date, for the C-ville show, a lot of people were mentioning the hotels they were staying at, meeting up, or asking about local pubs/restaurants. Just a thought.

One of Morgan's friends (maggie) posted (post #72) on the forum about Morgan being missing. Someone responded (post #74). That is as far as I have read.

i feel bad for this guy, i think we should give him a break until there is actually a connection between him and the case, not just we think hes weird

That's very common at big concerts, also another reason i doubt she went outside for a cig, she could have smoked in her seat if she wanted, they don't care if people smoke weed, they sure won't care about cigs.

"I was there. Drove in from Lynchburg. Got a speeding ticket halfway there... Great show by all the bands!
I was way up in sec. 312. TRIED to make it to the floor. One lady wouldn't let me and I was anxious to get back in the arena."

I posted the same information on the findmorgan.com site. I'm sure there were alot of groups of 4 going to that concert for the first time, but I really feel it is worth looking into. I wonder how big section 312 is? If by chance that was Morgan's post, it would definitely be worth searching for private messages.

Is Charlottesville considered to be a big city? What's the population? It doesn't strike me as the kind of town where prostitutes would be roaming the streets looking for a date. I'm not saying that kind of stuff doesn't go on in a college town, but it's probably behind closed doors/over the internet. With all the college students roaming around at all hours I somehow can't see this scenario happening. Also, though Morgan was wearing a "miniskirt" she was also wearing black tights, so in the dark one probably wouldn't have even been able to tell she was wearing a skirt.

I'm so lost on what happened to Morgan. At first I didn't think the friends had a thing to do with it but some of your (my fellow posters) arguments in that direction have been pretty persuasive. And I do agree they are acting strangely. But I just can't come up with a scenario in my mind that would make sense re: her friends. The only thing that would even kind of make sense is if she OD's on alcohol or drugs while with them, but even if this did happen, I just can't see those girls trying to cover it up - I see them as the type that would most definitely call 911. After all, an underage drinking or possession charge is one thing - improper disposal of a corpse, conspiracy, obstruction, etc is a whole other.

That guy NK has predator eyes, by the way.

I'm not sure the friends are directly responsible for what happened to her, i think they may know more than what we know and may have fudged what they told LE for some reason, which is causing a mess and LE trying to corroborate reports of witnesses seeing Morgan that night. They may have been fighting with Morgan, something like that, idk..
I don't think that they killed her, IMO, i just think they may know more than they have said to LE for some reason. They certainly didn't act like close friends do..
If Morgan had OD'd on something while with them, it would have had to been before the concert. If it was during the concert, there would have been a ton of witnesses to that. I see them as calling 911 type as well, unless it wasn't an overdose and something else happened and they are covering for someone..
There's some proof that Morgan did make it to the concert, why she went to the bathroom alone and then left is beyond me..
Then again we never know.. this case is such a mystery.. i am glad statements were made to clear the BB players, i didn't think they had anything to do with this aside from Morgan talking to them asking something or other (directions, possibly the time, to borrow a phone).

There are a few threads about Morgan on the Metallica forum. I can't remember which one, but one thread a person gives an account of getting locked out the arena when his wife was inside, but claims others were able to get back in. The post is full of expletives, so I didn't copy it here. But it is interesting.

Other people who posted on there drove from West Virginia, North Carolina, to see the show. Metallica has been around a long time, and brings in fans of all ages, not just around Morgan's age. Parents with their children were there (thats 2 generations of Metallica fans) older people, younger people. Metallica i think had albums out around the mid 1980's..

On page #4 of those comments, post #80
"d
I was in 313 row G - there was a girl sitting in the second seat that fit the description of the missing girl .. my friend I was with is the one who first saw the story on Monday morning and he contacted the authorities. The news stories are saying that she was separated at 840pm, before Metallica took the stage, and before I first arrived at my seats so i dont think its her but we did contact the authorities "

Also someone else mentions in post #77 that the Econolodge across the street was jumping with parties before and after the concert..

Not sure what he means that he tried to make it to the floor. Was the "lady" a security guard? Surely the "floor" is not outside the arena. I don't understand what he means.

He got a speeding ticket halfway between Lynchburg & Charlottesville? LE surely would have a record of that incident. Maybe Cofinail saw something up there in 312.

It is hard to imagine in this day and age that a girl of Morgan's age would even think of hitchhiking. Girls used to do it all of the time but not anymore. It is to dangerous. If Morgan was hitchhiking it is hard to tell who she ended up with and where he might have taken her. I don't understand why she didn't just hang around outside the arena talking to people until the concert was over. I don't understand why she went outside in the first place. None of it makes sense.

Did Morgan leave her car in a different town and ride with the girlfriends or did they all ride with her to the concert. It was said that one of the girls had her car keys. Why would a girlfriend have her car keys if she had left her car in another town? If one of them did have her keys it wouldn't have done her any good to hitchhike to where her car was. She couldn't have driven on home. So confusing.

There's streetwalkers in the malls even,I never see them,that I know of,but it's in the paper some have been arrested,wierd.I don't know where she was walking,but I know those Ladies like that hang out at the cheaper hotels.

It's actually the nicest city in Virginia,about 40 to 50,000 people,last I heard.I was just offering a scenario of what a perv might think.It also has Amtrak there,and a bus system,she could have been looking for that,unless she knew where they were already.But,if I was walking and saw,say a school,I would figure more responsible people would be there like teachers,to get help with a ride or something.She's a student,so why I thought that.

I forgot to mention,Charlottesville has a very high violent crime rate,it's ranked very high.
