Please Read: Close to Home.

A few weeks ago I attended a phenomenal Metallica show with some friends. After a four hour drive to the show, I expected nothing less, and my expectations were surpassed. I left the show, pleased, and made it home safely. But unfortunately, one member of the audience didn't.

From www.nydailynews.com:
"Police are looking for a Virginia Tech student who got separated from her friends at a Metallica concert Saturday and hasn't been seen since. Police are looking for 20-year-old Morgan Dana Harrington, who was last seen near the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville [Virginia]... Police say Harrington was wearing a black T-shirt with "Pantera" across the front in tan letters, a black mini skirt, black tights and black knee-high boots.She has long blonde hair, blue eyes, is 5-foot-6 and weighs about 120 pounds."

The concert took place on October 17th. Although some information has been submitted, she has yet to be found. It has been two weeks to the day now, and she still hasn't turned up. Metallica themselves have put up an additional $50,000 reward for any information leading to her being found.

This is a frightening story that is has such a sobering effect: a young fan going missing during a show, with no indication as to her whereabouts or safety. It could've been anyone.

If you or anyone you know have any information whatsoever, or wish to support the cause, please visit http://www.findmorgan.com/. I have no relation or affiliation whatsoever to her or her family, just a fellow fan that hopes for the best for them in such a difficult time.
