New tips have led police to update their timeline in the case of missing Virginia Tech student Morgan Dana Harrington, who has been missing since Oct. 17.
According to Virginia State Police Lieutenant Joe Rader, Harrington was last seen alone at approximately 9:30 p.m. on the bridge along Copeley Road, which goes over a set of train tracks located a short walking distance from the University of Virginia’s John Paul Jones arena. Harrington was at the arena that night for a Metallica concert.
Police released the tentative timeline in a short press conference in Charlottesville on Wednesday morning. Rader called on the public for more leads on Harrington’s whereabouts, especially after 9:30 p.m, when Harrington was last seen.
“Perhaps you saw this young lady get into a vehicle, Rader said. “Nothing is too trivial.”
From approximately 9:10 to 9:20 p.m., Harrington was seen in the grassy overflow parking area at Lannigan Field, which hosts UVa men and women’s track and field teams. Harrington was last seen at the Copeley Road bridge between 9:20 and 9:30 p.m.
Police do not have any leads after that point.
The 20-year-old Harrington, who has long blond hair and blue eyes, was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with tan letters that read “Pantera” across the front, a black mini skirt with black tights and knee-high black boots.
A reward of $100,000 for information has been established through the Jefferson Area Crimestoppers.
Those with information about the whereabouts of Morgan Harrington are encouraged to call 434-352-3467.
