$100,000 Reward In Missing METALLICA Fan Case

October 23, 2009

Lindsey Henley of WSLS 10 reports: Morgan Harrington's parents confirmed to WSLS Thursday evening that there is a $100,000 reward for information that will help police find her.

The new tip line is (434) 352-3467.

Officers from State Police, the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office, and the Greene County Sheriff's Office re-searched parts of the University of Virginia campus Thursday. Investigators searched the area near University Hall where someone found Morgan Harrington's purse this past Sunday morning. That search included looking through thick underbrush.

We also have a better picture of the timeline that lead up to Morgan Harrington's disappearance.

Investigators say Harrington's trip to UVA's John Paul Jones Arena this past Saturday began with her and her friends driving to Harrisonburg, where they picked up more friends.

The group then drove Morgan's car to the arena in Charlottesville for the METALLICA concert.

After the concert started, but before METALLICA took the stage, police say Harrington went to the bathroom. Somehow Morgan ended up outside the arena, and she was not allowed back inside due to a "no re-entry" policy for the concert.

Police say 8:30 p.m. Saturday is the last contact that Harrington had with her friends. Investigators say Morgan told her friends that she would either wait for them, or get home safely. Police say Morgan's friends had no reason to believe that wasn't the case.

According to police, Morgan's friends drove Harrington's car back to Harrisonburg, and spent the night there.
