CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (October 27, 2009)--The parents of a 20-year-old Virginia Tech coed who disappeared outside a Metallica concert say they fear their daughter is the victim of foul play, but they still hold out hope for her return.

The band has posted photos of Morgan Dana Harrington of Roanoke on its Web site and contributed $50,000 to a $150,000 reward fund for her safe return.

Harrington's parents said Tuesday on NBC's "Today" they are devoting all their energies to finding Morgan, who was last seen Oct. 17 outside a University of Virginia arena in Charlottesville, Va.

Dan Harrington called his daughter's disappearance "a parent's worst nightmare."

Gil Harrington said she is worried that Morgan was the victim of foul play.

Police have said they are treating the search as a criminal investigation.

Can't be a runaway and 20yoa. Missing person only. After reading all about this young lady and what happened, I feel that time is running out. Someone abducted her and she is probably already dead. I pray not though. Local authorities need to step up the hunt for anyone of interest in this case.

I think they meant "metal" head, which does not mean you are a devil worshiper. I doubt seriously if her parents read message boards in Waco. I've been keeping up with this at InSession and it is one bazaar case. I do hope she is a runaway and is safe somewhere, but it doesn't look like it.

I have been listening to Hard Rock for most of my life and have NEVER once worshiped the devil! I cant believe that people stereo type "metal Heads" that way! It just goes to show how ignorant SOME people are!
