Missing METALLICA Fan's Parents: Don't Blame Her Friends

October 27, 2009

Hawes Spencer of The Hook reports: The parents of missing Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington urge would-be sleuths not to blame the 20-year old woman's friends for failing to report her disappearance during an October 17 METALLICA concert in Charlottesville.

"They're not to blame," says father Dan Harrington. "Everyone wants to make them out to be the bad guy, but they're not the bad guy."

The woman's disappearance didn't get reported to authorities until the next day when her father called police after she failed to show for a pre-arranged visit home to study math and balance her checkbook.

But should the friends at the concert have reported her missing?

"I wish they had," says her dad, "but I don't know that it would have changed anything. She's not a 7-year-old. They wouldn't have put out an Amber Alert."

Read the entire report from The Hook.

Morgan Harrington's parents interviewed on this morning's (Tuesday, October 27) edition of NBC's "Today Show":
