The parents of a missing Virginia Tech student urged their daughter to come home.

“If Morgan is out there and can hear this, please come home,“ Dan Harrington, father of missing 20-year-old Morgan Dana Harrington of Roanoke County, pleaded at a press conference in Charlottesville on Monday.

Harrington was last seen at around 8:40 p.m. Saturday during the Metallica concert at the University of Virginia’s John Paul Jones Arena.

During the concert, Harrington was separated from her friends and has not been seen since. Her parents reported her missing the following afternoon.

It is unusual that Harrington - a junior education major at Virginia Tech - would disappear in such a fashion, her mother said.

“This is not her typical behavior,“ Gil Harrington said. “This is a girl who calls home almost every day and asks things like, ‘How do you make macaroni and cheese?‘ And I tell her to read the box.“

At Monday’s press conference, held in front of the UVa Police Department’s headquarters, Virginia State Police Lt. Joe Rader said investigators are treating the situation as a missing person case.

“We have no evidence that a crime has been committed,“ Rader said.

According to police, Harrington and a friend traveled from Virginia Tech to meet a friend at James Madison University to meet a third friend. They then drove to Charlottesville to see the Metallica show at JPJ.

Harrington was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with “Pantera” written on the front in tan letters. She also was wearing a black mini skirt with black tights and black knee-high boots. She is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs 120 pounds and has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Police said that Harrington does not have her identification card or cell phone with her, though they declined to elaborate.

Rader also said that investigators are not searching for Harrington’s car because she rode in a friend’s car when they went to the concert.

Anyone with information regarding Harrington is asked to call Virginia State Police at 352-3435 or by e-mail at . UVa police can be reached at 924-7166.
