CHARLOTTESVILLE -- The FBI has joined the search for a Virginia Tech student missing since she became separated from her friends at a Metallica concert Oct. 17.
Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said yesterday that the FBI will be able to investigate tips from around the country in the disappearance of 20-year-old Morgan Dana Harrington of Roanoke.
Harrington was last seen near the University of Virginia concert site. She had gone outside and was denied re-entry under arena policy.
Montgomery County Sheriff Tommy Whitt says the task force investigating the killings of two Virginia Tech students in August checked for similarities with Harrington's case. He says they've found no connection between Harrington and the couple killed in the Jefferson National Forest.

I think the FBI SHOULD BE involved! It is very important to get photos and information out ASAP. This does not sound like a vounteer missing person.
WC, you are probably unaware of a news report yesterday which quoted a witness who said she saw a young woman matching Ms. Harrington’s description in what seemed to be a physical altercation with a male at the site of the Metallica concert.
