This is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but for the family of missing Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington it’s the most difficult.
Her friends plan to use the holidays to remind people she’s still missing.
The Holidays came alive Thursday night for the annual Christmas parade in downtown Vinton.
It’s always fun time but this year it takes on a more serious tone.
Friends of Morgan Harrington are out of in full force raising awareness, in the parade and along the parade route.
“I’m not going to stop searching until we find her,” says Morgan’s friend Maticia Ruffner.
That’s because the missing 20 year old touched many of the people you see here marching.
“Oh my gracious. That’s really hard to even quantify,” says Diane Kelly, a friend of Morgan Harrington.
Harrington volunteered with the Forgotten Victims Group which helps kids effected by domestic violence.
Those she helped are taking her disappearance really hard.
“It’s been very tough just not being able to know where she is or how to find her,” says Morgan’s friend, Adam Brown.
They hope marching in this parade will help find her.
Volunteers drove a car plastered with Morgan’s picture.
They also passed out fliers about her disappearance.
The group says it’s smart to be here because there are several thousand people in attendance and members hope to reach those who haven’t heard about Morgan Harrington and remind those who have in hopes of generating leads.
