To the family…..I am praying for your daughter’s safe return. Her disappearance hit me hard because at her age I was a frequent concert-goer and she reminds me a lot of myself. So many similarities. It could’ve happened to anyone, I am so sorry it was your daughter. Praying constantly that she will be found safe. God bless.

My prayer for Morgan,

Father, I pray for Morgan Harrington. I pray that your would surround her with your angels. I ask that you would make a way for her to break free from her situation so that she can be reunited with her parents. I ask that you would keep her safe ….may she have peace and hope. Give her wisdom, Lord, to do what ever it is that she needs to do. May she feel your presence and your protection. I also pray for her parents that they may find a way to trust in You. Please give them your peace which passes all understanding. I ask that you would give the law enforcement personnel special wisdom and insight so that they can find Morgan. In Jesus Name

I agree with Lis. Even though smart people may do stupid things, this story just doesn’t seem right. She “wonders” outside, calls her friends and tells them NOT to help her – next thing you know her purse and cell phone WITHOUT a battery are in the parking garage, then she “hitch-hikes” without her things for a ride home. No… this is not a timeline. This is a wrong direction.

What about the guy in New Jersey? Has he been located and questioned? I don’t even know Morgan or her family, and I find this mystery very frustrating. I can’t even imagine how her family and friends are feeling…

From what I understand and my son went to school with her at Northside. She was not the type to go hitch hiking. She was a straight A student and very smart. Someone that smart does not hitch hike. She either knew the person in the car or she was forced in there. Yes this does not make any sense. Why would she leave her pocketbook some where else.

Please God let them find her.

Just by reading Morgan’s description, just by listening to her parents, her friends story, the cell phone call, and hitchhiking? doesnt make sense to me at all
My heart goes with Morgan’s family, just pray for her safe return.

Did Morgan grow up with anyone, formerly date anyone or know of someone who now lives in the Charlottesville area who she could call upon for a ride? Have friends brainstormed who she may know in that area and compiled a list for investigators? Are there any pay phones in that area any more? If so, have police checked those?

I was so sad to read and see this video that this poor child’s parents have had to make. Can you post any pictures of what she looked like that evening? Pictures from friends phones or any security photos. It might help anyone/someone remember if they saw her,even if they didn’t think that they did. I mean look at the Elizabeth Smart case Someone took a picture of the three of them crossing the street in Lakeside California because they might have thought that three people in white/covered robes were weird. That person didn’t even know that took a picture of a missing young girl. And what number did she call her friends from when she couldn’t get back in the concert? I know you all know how to do your jobs please don’t take offence. I am just typing out loud. Thank you for reading. I would be devastated if anyone of my children went missing.

I was so upset when I first read about this story and have been following it ever since. None of the events make sense but I do hope this new information might bring the Harringtons closer to finder Morgan. Please let’s find her soon!

I pray and hope that Morgan will return to her family but I agree that too much of what we’re being ‘told’ doesn’t sound right. Although, IF Morgan was seen hitching a ride on the bridge and IF she was in the spot that the memorial has been set up, that MAY mean that she was picked up either voluntarily or forcibly by someone heading in the direction of JPJ. IF forced, then the perps may have quickly turned into the U-Hall parking lot and threw her purse/cell out the window and MAYBE then, the battery flew out elsewhere. But…I also wonder about one post a friend saw somewhere that mentioned someone fitting Morgan’s description being spotted around 3:30 am near Pavillion 5 with three men? Maybe it was with these men that something went horribly wrong and again her purse/cell were ditched because most likely whomever was involved knew she was supposed to be at the concert that night and in a panic thought best to ditch her purse/cell in that area? All just speculation but what more do we have to go on right now. I’m a mother of a 24 year old daughter and my heart just aches for this family. I just pray that closure of some sort happens sooner rather than later. *sigh*

Why didn’t police give out that very important info in the first few hours/days – it may have helped! Hopefully, it still will a month later…
