Morgan Harrington Case: Lack Of Leads Frustrates Search Efforts
Charlottesville, VA– With Morgan’s disappearance entering it’s fourth week, an eagerly helpful public shows signs of frustration at the lack of information being clarified by both the Virginia State Police and the Harrington Family.
Dr. and Mrs. Harrington will be appearing on Dr. Phil tomorrow afternoon, but at press time there are no scheduled press conferences for them or for Corrine Geller, PIO for Virginia State Police.
Over the weekend, The search efforts coordinated by the Laura Recovery Center had as many as 1600 volunteers scouring the surrounding areas where she was last seen, with no results tied to Morgan’s disappearance or possible whereabouts. The areas designated had been searched previously at the direction of Charlottesville PD and VSP.
Was Morgan At The Concert
Although there are numerous alleged sightings of Morgan, some appearing to be credible, there is not a single image of her caught on camera at the John Paul Jones Arena.
How is it that Morgan goes through three seperate buildings and annexes, at least twice, multiple areas for re-entry, and not a single image of her exists? On the facebook created to help find Morgan, there are a growing number of associates beginning to doubt Morgan ever made the concert at all.
Ticket For Seat #312
One of the quickest ways to tell if Morgan attended the concert with her friends would be for Dr. Harrington, the purchaser of the tickets, to review his account with livenation or ticketmaster, which utilize ticket return and request the scan data for all the tickets he purchased. This would reveal if the tickets were scanned and presented together as alleged by the friends.
According to the livenation policy, the ticket will only scan once at it’s original presentation, even if there is a duplicate bar code.
The timing on Morgan’s ticket scan is critical to the investigation into her disappearance, as is confirming her attendance in the first place. Could LE be looking in the wrong place?
What the Friends Know
The rumor mill has been buzzing non-stop about the possibility that Morgan’s friends may be the key to understanding what happened to her.
We know that Dr. Harrington was told by one of her friends that Morgan’ s car was NOT at JPJ arena. Following her disappearance, one of her friends, Amelia “Amy” Melvin, who was with her and Sarah Snead the evening of the concert had her myspace mood set as “I dont have time for myspace”. It has since been removed. There are numerous pictures of the friends at almost every outing they attend all over the web. Were there any taken that evening?
What She Was Wearing
We have seen no less than 8 different Pantera tshirt styles on the FB site, and not a single confirmation from Police or the family as to what it actually looks like. No image of the black skirt or black boots to jog anyone’s memory from that night. WHY?
It was also stated that Morgan was wearing a “distinctive” gold knecklace that evening. Every pawn shop within a 60 mi radius should have been faxed a photo of it within 24 hours. Pawn shops are required to file certain sale reports that would definately list such an item if it had been sold. Has this been checked?
Inside Sources
Sources wishing to remain anonymous, have confirmed to blinkoncrime.com that LE is aware of a woman matching Morgan’s description was visibily intoxicated outside the JPJ arena and was seen dropping her purse and upset while talking on her cell phone. She allegedly engaged briefly with a few UVA basketball players as she was crossing the parking lot.
Why am I feeling like Charlottesville is the new Aruba?
One thing is clear. The fastest way to turn an active case cold is to frustrate the public with inconsistencies and unclear information.
Generating leads is the only way to keep Morgan’s case in the spotlight and at this point it is this editors opinion there are some serious questions in need of answers in order to progress this case before it stalls.

I have not trusted the “alleged” Morgan sightings from the beginning. I’m sure we can’t begin to imagine how many blonds were at that concert matching her description.
I just wondered if anyone has looked into the Brittanee Drexel case? Not too terribly far from this case and with a lot of similar circumstances.
Maybe a truck driver or someone with a job that requires travel? Spring break on Myrtle Beach and a concert near a college would provide easy pickings to someone looking to abduct a girl.
Just a thought…
There is coverage on here on it, I would like to keep the comments as case pertinent as possible please
B
Is LE even sure the friends made it to the concert? Almost 4 weeks later and still so many unanswered questions. The friends are the key to cracking this case.
I am sure they checked the ticket stub by now right? If they didn’t, how stupid would that have been. Were Morgan and her friends drinking? Reports say Morgan seemed having a hard time walking. Is it possible they were all drinking before at someone’s RV? Have they talked to the
UVA players? I still say her “friends” know more then they are saying. If they are SHAME on them. Did an RV pull out of the parking lot close to the time Morgan was “seen”. Did a RV leave the parking lot at all? has anyone even addressed this RV parking area? I agree with you Blink, this is starting to sound more and more like Aruba. Only difference being is that, Natalee Holloway ended up as excuse me…fish food. No disresepct intended. I thought that from the very beginning. No body no crime….Never found a thing. Only speculation.
Something has to break and fast. Someone knows something….Time to squeeze her buddies a tad harder. Have they checked their cell phones?
Yep.
B
Blink,
Did they find any images of her friends entering or exiting the concert?
NO
B
Something about the friends has never felt right to me — I’ve grown up going to concerts (I have even seen Metallica in concert), theatre, etc. — and I would never have let a friend leave a venue under these circumstances. I’ve even explained to a few friends the claim of the friends — how Morgan was supposedly stranded outside and said she’d find her way home, and they were shaking their heads before I could finish the story.
The first defense of the friends is that this is a college town and Morgan knew a lot of people — if that’s so, why didn’t she call someone and wait at the arena to be picked up? Why was she meandering around in the dark, etc.? Either she was totally wasted and her friends knew and left her to fend for herself which is absolutely unconscionable, or she was in her right mind, cold, and alone and they left her to fend for herself which is irresponsible at best.
If my child was missing I’d be telling the public everything they needed to know to help find her — if she was intoxicated, I’d say that she was because someone might remember, “Oh, that girl.” Most of the public will not judge poorly a lively, beautiful college student for having a few beers before a heavy metal concert. Neither the parents nor the LE have to say she was on drugs, but her frame of mind is relevant. Also, the confusion about Morgan’s car is ridiculous.
Also, another red flag is that her father reported her missing. We’re supposed to believe these girls have been friends for most of their young lives, Morgan got shut out of a concert, was possibly upset, said she’d find a ride home, and no one ever checked up on her? What the hell? Just what the hell kind of friends are these? It makes NO SENSE.
I forgot to add to the second paragraph, “or she was never there.”
It’s my understanding that a postal carrier (I think?) reported seeing a girl resembling Morgan/outfit in teh early morning hours of the 19th on campus w/3 males. I understand she said the girl had bare legs and so everyone was discounting this sighting since Morgan was known to be wearing tights….but could she not have taken her tights off at some point. Gotten them snagged on soemthing and removed them, or taken them off for other reasons and not bothered putting them back on…
Additionally the alleged sighting at a Sheetz convenience store in Orange, VA should be looked into. The woman reporting it said the Pantera shirt specifically stood out and that the outfit seemed odd for a Sunday morning. If the store had video surveillance it should definitely be reviewed.
This might not be a popular opinion, but I think the search area should be around Crozet,Va instead of Charlottesville. Is there anything that says absolutely Morgan made it to the concert?
Fanny, my opinion is not very popular either. I dont think she is anywhere near Charlottesville
B
Blink — do you think she was at the concert?
I do, but admittedly my team does not.
B
Do you personally believe that Morgan did make it to Charlottesville?
I do. If her car was not there, I would probably have a different opinion. Also, because of my theory on the “who” part, does not support her not being there. Again, the other Blink contributing editors have been hitting me over the head with this for 2 days. I trust them as well.
B
Do we know if the friends have given sworn statements? Why would the roomie and friend not put out concerned messages about Morgan?
As in Aruba, Morgan not appearing on surveillance camera causes me to wonder if the all the cameras were working at JPJ arena.
The family appearance on Dr. Phil has an eerie resemblance, also…Hopefully Gil can describe the shirt and necklace. Or would that be info the police don’t want released? (I never really get that part…)
Thank you, Now maybe I can sleep tonight.
See what a thankless job this is?
Kidding, but seriously, as Kate is a contributor to this piece, she is adamant the friends are witholding information, which I agree.
B
blink:
Are you aware that LE are withholding very important specific information? Or do they just not have any? Are they not investigating this case intensely because they have no evidence of foul play? Or do they know exactly what happened regarding the burning questions everyone has? It’s starting to just become irritating…NO video footage of any of them?? Do they think this girl went off with someone willingly?
They are witholding info, yes.
B
lamb of god was the opening act,they are from richmond va,(friends of friends of friends?),they would be finishing their set around the same time as her exit,perhaps,i dont know exact lineup.also craigslist still has some -tickets for sell-listings up that are in the vicinity of her seats.
I happened to view last night a media interview with one of the girlfriends – S.S. The first thing I noticed was how similiar her hair colour and style was to Morgan’s. Her mannerisms and words struck as extremely odd considering the “closeness” of this group of 9. I don’t personally know S.S. so I can’t speak to how she reacts, but to an outsider looking on, she appeared “off” is some respect. Her words “we wouldn’t have done it” – - “done” what? Leave her to fend for herself? Play a “joke” on her that went wrong? Was she left behind earlier and not at the arena?
This articles’ theory is interesting and plausible. Morgan’s ticket being proven as used does not mean she was the one that actually used it, unless some form of ID had to be presented, which would have been contained in her purse, which was eventually found some time the next morning. Was the battery kept initially to show ping movement to and at the concert, but removed once it served it’s purpose? Was Morgan the one to actually use her own phone to text the Don’t worry, getting a ride with friends?
And the finding of her purse and cell phone in an area closer to a street than the arena itself, could indicate she did not get to the arena as opposed to leaving it.
Darn if this article doesn’t open more possibilites.
Absence of images of Morgan there is curious. Do we know if there are pictures on the girls’ cell phones taken of each other at the concert?
Kate/Candace are going to fall over when they read this. That was their observation as well
B
Blink
I do agree with you that she perhaps is not in Charlottesville.
So, we know for sure there were no images of Morgan or her friends on the video surveillance? The only reasons I can think of why there are no images of her are
a. She was not there
b. The cameras were not functioning or focused on something other than Morgan (If the exteriors were PTZ cameras). If the cameras are PTZ’s on the exterior, an operator could have been viewing something else of interest rather than where Morgan was. A woman struggling to re-gain entry should have stood out with an image captured if they have security constantly viewing video. I would assume they have extensively questioned the PTZ camera operator that night. To find no video is highly suspect, and you can’t just erase video. It’s watermarked to prevent tampering.
Blink IIRC…wasn’t it said that her car was left at friends place and when they got back home they noticed her car was still there, so they called her parents or am I confusing it with something else? I just can’t believe there are no pictures of the group before they left .
So…. a girl missing after a night out with her friends. One of which is very close to LE and would be well aware of a few simple ways of manufacturing signs that point to an abuduction. This same person takes charge of the damage control for the events that transpired that evening, and then acts as the ‘spokesperson’ for the group (i.e. can’t trust the others to get their stories straight.)
No leads, a plausible story, a bevy of confused eye witnesses muddying the chances of developing an accurate timeline.
I doubt that 8.30pm – 9pm is the last time Morgan saw the others. I think Morgan waited until the concert was over and her phone call fell on deaf ears, and I don’t think Morgan was too happy about it.
It would be hard to say with cetainty if she kept the Pantera shirt on. From my experience most people that attend a concert are collectors and often buy the shirt being sold at the venue. Morgan was a good looking girl so if she made it back stage somehow she may have been given one, who knows? Purchases from debit or credit cards might prove useful as well.
Blink is it normal for the FBI to become involved in a missing persons case such as Morgan’s? Can we infer anything at all based on their involvement?
TR
I have not heard the FBI has been called in, is that confirmed? There is a very big difference between VSP utilizing FBI resources as opposed to asking them into the investigation.
B
You indicated (#12) that you have a theory on the “who” part of this case. Is the “who” someone who has been discussed on this forum?
Not by name, but by profile, yes.
B
I thought that there was video of her inside the arena — and it was this video that revealed the blood on her chin?
#17 – my impression of “It” (as in SS saying “we wouldnt have done it”) was that she was talking about leaving the arena in Morgans car w/o Morgan. This leads me to believe that Morgan had planned all along to meet someone and not stay with the girls…also explains Morgan leaving her keys with them and not in her purse. What seemed the weirdest to me when SS was talking was that she never used Morgan’s name, only said her, she, etc.
I just wish LE would release more info about what the girls have told them.
http://www.readthehook.com/stories/2009/10/29/cover-findMorgan-E.aspx —hmm was just reading this ,thought to share ,can someone give a link to the ss interview video?
Just a quibble, but it seems odd to me that she’d take her cell phone, wallet and purse to the event, but leave her keys behind with the car. If she’s willing to take all the other stuff with her to a concert, why leave the keys?
Maybe it’s possible (if not probable) that Morgan could walk all over the venue without ever being caught on camera, but her friends, too? And no pictures? I’d be curious if any of them made them to the concert, and what time all of their tickets were scanned. Sorry, but when was the last time a friend and you were seperated at a major event, and you didn’t at least call them later to check in? Something’s not being said.
Geeze Louise as my mother would say!
Was the phone call from Morgan to her father confirmed the afternoon before the concert? She was at least in Harrisonburg then, yes? (See phone interview with Morgan’s father and Nancy Grace below)
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0910/20/ng.01.html
“D. HARRINGTON: I actually did not see her that day. She was at our house. And I was working. And her mom and Morgan picked out outfits that she would wear to the concert that evening. And so Morgan left alone about 12:00 noon, and I did speak with Morgan prior to her leaving. And then she called me. The last time I spoke with Morgan was at 2:00 on Saturday, when she called me after she arrived safely in Harrisonburg and it was in Harrisonburg, where she hooked up with her friends, and they drove with one of the friends to the concert in Charlottesville.”
Dr. Harrington says “and it was in Harrisonburg”….seems very sure of himself at this point.
My question: Does Dr. Harrington have GPS tracking capabilities between his phone and Morgans? If so, and her friends were “covering” for her as Dr. Morgan himself stated during this same phone interview with Nancy Grace (statement below), his statement would make sense if, at the last minute, Morgan did not intentionally go to the concert and removed the battery in her phone so her family would not know where she truly was, leaving the mystery of how it ended up near the JPJ arena:
“G. HARRINGTON: You know, Morgan has this group of good friends, and she doesn`t have any biologic sisters, but these girls are kind of her chosen sisters, and they do cover her back. And they all would do anything for each other.”
The below discrepancies bother me, though I don’t know if witness Dave Gardner’s story has panned out, as I have not read much else about him:
“(Dave) Gardner says Harrington only spoke to his group for a few minutes before heading toward the arena, but he says he remembers seeing the car after the concert without Morgan. “There were definitely just three people in the car.”
http://www.wdbj7.com/Global/story.asp?S=11369010
Then we have this statement from Amy Snead to report Scott Leamon at WSLS:
http://www2.wsls.com/sls/news/state_regional/article/new_search_effort_for_morgan_harrington_begins/60473/
12:05 p.m.
From Scott Leamon, in the field
WSLS Reporter
“………Snead told me she was one of the three people in Morgan’s car on the way to the Metallica concert, and one of the two people in the car on the way back from the concert to JMU.”
First off, I thought it was four people in the car on the way from Harrisonburg to the JPJ arena. Morgan, Amy Melvin, Amy Snead, and Amy Snead’s boyfriend (though nothing has been said about Amy Snead’s boyfriend — and I go “hmmmmm”). Dave Gardner is adamant about seeing “definitely just three people in the car” leaving the concert that night. However, Amy Snead herself says in the interview with WSLS Reporter that she was one of the three people in Morgan’s car on the way to the Metallica concert (3? I thought there were 4 attending the concert). Then Amy goes on to say that she was one of the two people in the car on the way back from the concert (2? – Gardner says 3 which would mean that Amy Snead’s boyfriend did attend the concert). If Amy Snead’s boyfriend did not attend the concert, then why the big “hush hush” about him…what’s the big deal here?
Who’s statement is incorrect…Dave Gardner or Amy Snead?
I have reservations for various reasons about the Orange, VA sighting and the mailman (both on Topix website posted by #174 Reese on the previous thread). The cities they live in listed under their names and the locations they both speak of, just don’t make geographic sense to me. However, I can only trust that LE is checking out ALL leads.
Thanks for yet another great article Blink.
I thought for sure there would be some substantial leads to follow at this point; through friends, phone, maybe FB messages.
Wpg – I was wondering the same thing. If perhaps her friends played a joke on her, or just left her somewhere, and haven’t been the most forthcoming because they realize what their cruel joke may have led to.
I wouldn’t be surprised if during the drive to the concert some sort of alcohol induced fight ensues. The angry friends somehow ditch Morgan at a rest stop/gas station then finish the drive to the show sans Morgan. Maybe there was a pre-party they stopped at, and not being in a rush to see the opening act Morgan was left to find her own ride the rest of the way.
I mention the above because being the regular designated driver I’ve had several altercations with my “passengers”. I can think of one time in particular being within 2 miles of a friends’ house, and not being able to tolerate any more drunken idiocy I pulled the car over and said “get the F out”. Not my finest hour, but I’m a much safer driver when I’m not being hit or yelled at while driving.
The friends have to know something valuable. Unless Morgan had some reason to run away from her life (doubtful) then her friends will know something useful. Anything, from where they stopped along the way, to where they parked at the concert.
Thanks again B
i wasnt even aware of farmville,when i was linking the myspace ,horrorcore,serialkillermusic,angle.
…come to think of it my friend would often slip the new shirt over the one she was wearing. But from what I’ve been reading the last thing you want to do is wear a Pantera T-Shirt to a Metallica concert. To whom it concerns some hard feelings may still linger. To do so Morgan’s Pantera shirt may refer more to a belief, over and above, liking a rock band.
If you ask me, some type of cover up is going on here, but WHY? TALK people. Do you or don’t you want to find this girl.
My theory is quite simple – She met up with some guy or guys that night (that’s why she left the concert and the friends DEFINITELY know this) and then something went awry with these guy(s) and she now has probably suffered the same fate as Natalie Holloway. Her friends didn’t report her missing because they knew of her plans and knew she wouldn’t be back in Harrisburg or Blacksburg that night.
I agree it is very frustrating and I didn’t even know her.
Thanks WPG…just had aha! moment. She wasn’t at the concert and there was someone smart enough to text the friends phone and pull the battery. Damn that’s a good idea. I guess we need you Blink to start picking apart the ’9′ or should I say ’8′?
THANK YOU BLINK !!! You have brought up some of the same issues that I brought up on other websites. I have been berated for daring to ask questions that should have be answered from the outset. You said earlier that law enforcement is withholding information (understatement). Are they withholding what led her OUTSIDE of the area or they withholding if she ever made it ?
By the way I am also one of those who after the punchline of an obvious joke will turn to you and say “I don’t get it”! I honestly appreciate Blink and Co. for creating this site so I can really understand just what is going on and not rely on MSM for watered down or wrong facts. Credit to all those who post here for educating me a little more each day.
Way to go wpgmouse! Absence of info is my favorite research angle – always very telling.
I’ve seen the idea mentioned but haven’t seen a definitive answer… is there a confirmation that Morgan’s ticket and/or any of her friends’ tickets were scanned at the gate of the arena? I assume if Dr. Harrington bought all the tickets for the girls and friends, he could access the info.
LE has made various public statements regarding their confirmation of their “timeline” for Morgan at the arena. They have been pretty tight-lipped about their investigation (IMHO that has not helped find Morgan), so releasing this timeline would lead one to believe that LE had confirmed the reliability of eye-witness accounts enough to put it out into the public.
At the very least, the ticket booth representative, or whomever denied her re-entrance to the arena would definitely have been interviewed to confirm this fact (wouldn’t they? Hope so). Seriously, do we actually think there were so many people that exited and were denied re-entry that evening, that the ticket reps. or security wouldn’t recall this moment? Single attractive girl, alone, outside in temperatures that were beginning to fall, wanting to get back in — most likely not asking politely? I’m thinking that’s a memory for some employee…questioned by the police…believed by LE. I mean, this girl is missing for crying out loud!
Wouldn’t this line of witness questioning happen within the first 5 days once LE begins to think of foul play? Suddenly the “irrate girl” at the ticket window last week (so-to-speak), becomes “OMG, she’s missing? I remember her?!” by whomever refused Morgan’s re-entry.
I believe she was at the arena and denied re-access. I also believe that her friends are not telling the entire story/truth of what happened AT the arena. I also could believe that she was under the influence of a little something, whatever that something was. Knowing her own fathers status in education, the fact that one of the other fathers of the “nine” is a Sgt. Herrick, these friends absolutely, no way would want or would ever tell these parents what they do when they are away from home. It does not make them bad girls deserving of coming up missing.
I just don’t buy that all of these witness accounts that helped create this timeline, were wrong. Well, except possibly for the bridge sighting (and a few other kooky witness stories). But that’s just my personal opinion.
And why is LE so silent on the “text message guy” that apparently happened when Morgan was still inside the arena? Does he have a LE training background? There is a criminal justice free program at the University Morgan attended (oh gosh I will have to find the link again if anyone asks — argh). Is this a former student/boyfriend with some kind of security/criminal justice backround or training?
Oh God!
Who actually drove? Have the circumstances of picking up the last girl/boyfriend in Crozet been broken down. With no concrete evidence from concert, one has to assume she never left Crozet even though her purse and cell phone did.
#24 I gotta ask since everyone from here says they’ll never get out of p—– city are you referring to FL? Curious. Don’t zing me Blink please it’s just a famous saying here usually true.
Posted today from Eyes that Lie
I do not see anything in Sarah’s behavior that concerns me.
While Sarah isn’t stressed out or showing deep concern for her friend, she may believe that Morgan simply ran off by her own choice. When you are young, you feel invincible, and Sarah could feel (it is not implausible) that foul play is unlikely. She may be more inclined to believe that Morgan ran off intentionally, but may not be willing to say that publicly. Hence, I can’t put much weigh on her lack of emotions here as this could be a logical explanation for her response.
Perhaps I should of used the URL? Still more to read…..
This one of several links where I read that FBI were searching for Morgan.
http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=6318.msg995082….Maybe I’m wrong on the degree of their involvement. Can anybody clarify?
To my knowledge, they are available in a support role, meaning if they recover evidence, or use their SA’s or analysts in reviewing evidence that requires subpoena, etc. They have not been asked to actively investigate the case.
B
Blink, I am bringing this post over from the first story on Morgan.
Comment by Momof3 — November 1, 2009 @ 10:01 pm
Are we sure she went to the concert? You reported Blink, that she called her Poppa from the friend’s house. Are there photos or security tapes of her at the concert? Who found the purse? Maybe,it was purposely placed there.
If it happened exactly how her friends reported it. How sad that they have to live with the constant “if only ” for the rest of their lives.
Yes, she was definately there.
B
To add: check how quickly the myspaces and facebooks of those close to Morgan are disappearing.
B
Blink, what made you believe at the start that she was definitely at the concert? Was there some evidence at that time that did not pan out? Were you relying on a person that has since come under scrutiny? The reason I bring this up is because the easiest answer is usually the right answer.
Everyone that has heard the “facts” surrounding Morgan’s disappearance has not believed the circumstances which led up to her disappearance.
1 friends don’t leave friends go to restroom alone
2 friends don’t drive in a friend’s car who has plans on leaving
3 friends don’t keep keys of car while stranded friend needs them to get home/ keep warm
4 friends don’t rely on a text message that says to stay enjoy the concert I’ll get a ride home
5 friends check-up on stranded friend to make sure she got home alright they call until they get through
6 friends report to Dad/someone if friend never made it home or never answered her phone they do not return car next morning with a -oh and by the way…….
Maybe this was someone’s plan from the very beginning to throw off the time and location of Morgan’s disappearance.
Post #16 susanm…so the concert was not a sell out?? Because if she really wanted to see Metallica, she would of bought a new ticket with the Visa she had in her purse..If denied re-entry..if it was a group I wanted see, came all that way and didn’t get to see them because I screwed up..I would of paid whatever the cost for another ticket. Especially knowing that I could charge it and pay later.
comment by Suz
Did they find any images of her friends entering or exiting the concert?
NO
B
If there are no security tapes showing her or her friends there why are we still assuming they even went to the concert? Do they have satellite/ security tapes of the car there?
Ps My thanks to you, Blink, for bringing to us Kate and your team’s theories.
I had no choice, I am afraid of her.
Teasing, when you work like a “thinktank” so to speak, you learn to strongly value alternative viewpoints and most especially when a group is capable of critical thinking independent of each other, when one is “hot” to the point of really not considering other very plausible scenarios, it means something.
B
My reluctance to explain away her leaving the venue with guys or using the concert as a cover to leave the venue is simply why? Her brother is gay, she’s shown in pictures smoking (so her parents probably knew), and she had her own place. If she wanted to meet up with guys or buy drugs or whatever, she could’ve done it earlier and easier than in the middle of a concert.
Also, I don’t buy that someone lured her outside — if the sightings are to be believed, then she was always alone outside and trying to get back inside, indicating she didn’t want to leave the concert.
Having said that, I’m in the camp that’s beginning to wonder if she ever even made it to the concert. Did someone give her something, she OD, and is this a cover-up?
The other odd thing is how Dr. Harrington insists that these girls are like sisters and that they’d have each other’s backs. I have a sister also, and we go to a lot of events together, including concerts, and there is NO WAY IN HELL that I’d simply let her “find a ride home” if she somehow found herself outside the concert.
the box office listed on craigslist that tickets were still available at the stadium for $69.00 at 5:47pm october17th.
Blink, in your article you state that Morgan’s father purchased everyone’s ticket. In my opinion this makes things even less believable.
If her friends were only at the concert because of her father’s kindness, at least one if not all of her friends should have felt obligated to miss the concert and leave, bringing Morgan her keys and staying with her if not to drive home then to at least make it bearable to miss the concert and wait for the other friends to exit.
Something is very wrong, It was only sort of believable when I thought each person had paid for their own ticket- or did they give their money to Morgan’s dad so that he could make sure they all were sitting together?
It was said that he purchased them, but I do not know if it was his treat so to speak, I would imagine Morgan collected the money and repaid Dr. Harrington, but I honestly do not know.
