Finally…a happy ending.
Whew…. my heart sure skipped a beat there, what a relief she is found safe.
Well, I guess this is exactly what Morgan’s friends were expecting would happen and why they did not panic?
girls! girls! girls!! When will they learn?
Lastly, I thought of you when I saw her pic, and that it would upset you, sorry because I know in your Gini’s case you certainly wanted a different outcome.

Thanks Katie
Makes my heart break every time…
Some how parents and friends are going to have to figure out a way to make these AIR-HEADED girls understand that behavior like this is unacceptable and could lead to their demise. They are apparently so dense and lacking in responsibility that they canot do the right thing and notify friends and family that they are going to go visit with friends somewhere other than the original plans.
What we have here is a twenty-six year old behaving like a ten year old.
This type behavior is exactly what makes LE slow to respond regarding young women who may be missing and need immediate help.
I am glad for her family and friends, who love and care about her, that she was found safe. If I were her grandfather she would have some tall explaining to do when I got her in my presence and she would have to listen to a powerful lecture about proper behavior.
I have been following this story as there are plenty of people who said she had taken LSD before the rock concert. The same people are now saying that she faked the entire thing to boost her modeling career.
Is this a legitimate use of the local police department? What if my child in harms way but they were busy following a phony emergency? This needs to be investigated.
I’ve worked with Laura at Applebee’s longer than I care to admit. When this happened everyone agreed that she did this for attention.
If that is true, and can be proven, I will personally see to it this young lady gets plenty of attention, albeit not the kind she would be in favor of.

B, ask who had to cover her shifts. While she’s out having a great time we have to find sitters.
Texas Grandfather, I think she made need a talking to by her grand father, not everyone is lucky enough to have someone like you in their lives. I am glad she is safe, and I hope she apologized to all those people she worried.

Where are you finding this info, link please? I agree, if Laura was lying about this from the beginning, it should be investigated and if found to be true, she should have to donate her time and money to finding missing people and to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.
Shades of the run-away bride. This girl needs to be prosecuted and charged for all the LE man hours spent on trying to find her. A little jail time maybe 45 days might wake her up.
Then about 2000 hours of community service with a sign hung on her neck telling everyone why she is out in public cutting the grass.
Texas Grandfather, YOU ROCK!
