CHARLOTTESVILLE (AP) – An effort to find a Virginia Tech student who vanished after attending a Metallica concert is turning to holiday parades to publicize the search.
Police say 20-year-old Morgan Harrington of Roanoke became separated from friends after she left the concert arena in Charlottesville on Oct. 17 and was denied re-entry.
A posting on the Web site http://findmorgan.com/ says a “Let’s Bring Morgan Home for X-Mas” float will appear in Roanoke’s Christmas parade on Friday. Floats appeared last week in parades in Vinton and Salem.
According to the posting, the floats were organized by the nonprofit Forgotten Victims. A Find Morgan banner will be carried in the parades by children from the group and fliers will be distributed.
