Reward for leads in criminal case of missing Virginia Tech student


Posted on Oct 31, 2009

A 20-year old Virginia Tech student has been missing since October 17 when she was last seen outside of the John Paul Jones arena in Charlottesville.  The student, Morgan Dana Harrington of Roanoke, became separated from her friends when they left the arena and has not been seen since.

 

The reward for leads in her case, which is being treated as a criminal matter, currently stands at $100,000 and may rise, with money being donated by the Jefferson Area Crime Stoppers, from a website set up to find the missing student and with money from Metallica, the band playing at the arena when she disappeared.

 

According to police, Harrington left her friends to go to the restroom and ended up outside of the arena, unable to get back inside.  She called her friends using her cell phone to tell them that she would meet them after the show or find a ride home, but was not heard from again.

 

Harrington’s purse and cell phone were found in the arena parking lot the next day.  She is described as being 5 foot 6 inches tall and weighing 120 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes.  At the time she disappeared she was wearing a black miniskirt, black t-shirt and black tights with black boots.

 

Anyone with information about Harrington’s whereabouts is asked to call the Virginia State Police tip line at (434) 352-3467.
