Family continues to seek clues

Daniel and Gil Harrington, parents of Morgan Dana Harrington, released a statement yesterday thanking the Virginia State Police Department, the University Police Department, Metallica band members and other supporters for their efforts to help locate the couple's missing daughter, who disappeared from a concert at John Paul Jones arena Oct. 17.

"We appreciate your prayers and ask that you continue to share any information you can with law enforcement so that we can find our daughter," Mr. and Mrs. Harrington stated in the press release.

The Harrington family also stated that followers of the case should refer to a new Web site, www.FindMorgan.com, or the Virginia State Police Department's Web site to access the most up-to-date information about the case. Two days ago, police authorities released a detailed timeline of events that officials believe outlines the moments leading up to Harrington's disappearance.

Harrington is 5-foot-6 and 120 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a black T-shirt that read "Pantera" in tan letters, a black mini skirt, black tights and black knee-high boots. Anyone with any relevant information is asked to call the police's tip line at (434) 352-3467.
