Metallica Offers Reward for Missing Fan Morgan Harrington [Photos]

Heavy metal band Metallica has added 50,000 dollars in reward money for a fan Morgan Harrington (photo above)who went missing during one of their concerts on October 17.

The 20-year-old Virginia Tech student went with friends to the Metallica concert in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday.

Sometime between 8:30 and 9 p.m., she called her friends to say she had gone to the restroom and ended up outside the building without her ticket. She told them she wasn't allowed back in and would find a ride home.

That was the last time anyone spoke with Harrington. The next day, her phone and purse were found in a parking lot near the arena.

Harrington's parents have already announced a $100,000 reward for the safe return of their daughter or for information leading to the arrest of whoever is responsible for her disappearance.

Metallica has also posted an appeal on its official website asking fans: "If you or anyone you know shot video footage or took photos of the concert or audience, please check to see if there is anyone in your photos who might resemble Morgan."

"Morgan has blond hair and blue eyes, is 5'6", 120 lbs., and was wearing a black 'Pantera' T-shirt, black skirt, and black boots. She was not carrying ID or a cell phone. Morgan was separated from her friends shortly before 9:00 pm at the venue."

So sad. We hope Morgan is found soon.
