METALLICA Fan's Parents Continue Clinging To Hope As They Search For Their Missing Daughter

October 22, 2009

Rex Bowman of The Roanoke Times reports: She is known nationwide as the beautiful young blonde in the black miniskirt who vanished from a METALLICA concert in Charlottesville over the weekend, but to her friends and family, Morgan Harrington is the kind woman who volunteered her summers to work with children from violent homes, letting little girls play with her golden tresses.

She is the young woman who enjoyed the "Twilight" novels, the movie "Harriet the Spy" the television show "Real Housewives of Orange County" and the music of Jerry Garcia.

And she is the quirky young woman whose list of what to bring to a recent Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival included a full-length mirror and a hula hoop.

"She loves putting on her makeup and looking good," said her mother, Gil Harrington of Roanoke County. "But she's the kind of girl who's also happy sleeping in a tent for a week. Usually 'makeup girls' aren't like that."

Chelsea Helm, who attended Northside High School with Harrington and attends Virginia Tech with her as well, and others are organizing a vigil for 7 p.m. today at the football field at Northside, where Harrington attended school before transferring to Lord Botetourt.
