Parents plead for return of missing Virginia Tech student
The case of missing Tech student Morgan Harrington has drawn nationwide attention.
From today's Roanoke Times:
The search for Morgan Dana Harrington stretched into its second full day Tuesday, drawing national attention to the disappearance of the Virginia Tech junior during a weekend Metallica concert in Charlottesville.
Harrington's parents took to the television, appearing on HLN's Nancy Grace show [watch clip] and other broadcasts to ask for Harrington's return and bringing camera crews to their Roanoke County home.
Postings about the missing 20-year-old spread across online forums, and a Facebook group dedicated to her had more than 2,100 members by Tuesday evening. On the official Metallica Web site, the band posted an article titled "One of our fans is missing."
