Metal band Metallica joins hunt for killer
Metallica is doing its part to help the FBI solve the murder of a 20-year-old college student after a 2009 concert by the rock band in Charlottesville, Virginia.
In a one-minute announcement on YouTube, Metallica frontman James Hetfield urges anyone who knows anything about what happened to Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington to contact authorities.
"Remember, any information, no matter how small you think it is, could be that crucial piece investigators need to help solve the case," Hetfield says in the video, with guitars and amplifiers in the background.
The band offered $10,000 in 2010 for information leading to an arrest in the case; the reward fund since has grown to $150,000, Hetfield says.
"This crime we feel was horrific in nature and what we want to do is bring closure to Morgan's family," Virginia State Police Capt. Timothy Lyon says in a video on the FBI's website. "We want an arrest, and that's what we're committed to doing."
Morgan Harrington
The FBI says Harrington was last seen hitchhiking on a Charlottesville bridge after leaving the concert before it was over on October 17, 2009. Her body was found in a field four months later. She had been wearing a distinctive silver necklace with Swarovski crystals, which has not been recovered.
The FBI says DNA evidence links Harrington's case to a 2005 sexual assault in Fairfax, Virginia. The bureau issued an enhanced composite sketch of an unnamed man they think may be responsible.
The suspect is described as an African-American male with black hair and facial hair at the time of the 2005 attack. He is about 6 feet tall and was believed to be between 25 and 35 years old at the time of the attack, making him 32 to 42 now.
Information can be conveyed by calling Virginia State Police at 434-352-3467; Fairfax police at 703-385-7959; or the FBI at 800-225-5324.

I've been a Metallica fan since they started. I've never had my mind destroyed by the lyrics in their songs, as Truth puts it. The lyrics are an expression of frustration and anger that we all feel time to time, about you name it, war, religion, life and death. How about this, the next time you hear the song "Seek and Destroy" or "Kill Them All" assume they are talking about the enemies of the United States, if you want to take it so literal.
Jody Mullins!!!!!!!!!! are you that naive?? so when i listen to a song just thing of something else right?? RIGHT?? I would have to repeat myself again ..adios amigos
soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell
21, only son, but he served us well...
Bred to kill, not to care.. do just as we say
Finished here, Greatings Death... He's yours to take away...
yeah, how are you gonna put a positive spin on that?
PS: God Bless Cliff Burton!
nada
Call me crazy but I dont think it is a good idea for a young woman to be hitchiking home from a concert. Sounds like she lacked good parenting which contributed to her death.
You would be wrong about the parenting part. Not a valid assumption in this case.
someone above suspcion did this.
You know Jeff, she might have had to leave the concert to get home to take care of her parents. The Dude would know that...
Or the effects of getting roofied. Do your research.
Do you REALLY think ANYONE in their right mind would take parenting advice from a loser who calls himself "the_dude" ??? Now THAT is truly entertaining!...
Try to live out a hateful Metallica song... and youll end up dead or on death row. You fools just listen to it, but practice it and you know im right!@
Do me a favor and name one Metallica song that is full of hate, and I and many others will tell you just how off base you are.
name 1 song
Do me a favor and name one Metallica song that is full of hate, and I and many others will tell you just how off base you are. Having a loud guitar and a voice lower than Justin Beiber does not make a band hateful.
5/10 for getting me to respond
You have no clue about the metallica lyrics. They are fine people playing fine music.
pn.............the guilty will ALWAYS defend the guilty.
"fine music"? I think not. Talentless musicians they are.
Talentless? What do you listen to? Chris Brown? Rihanna? mayeb some Gaga? I bet that is what you think talent is. Pick up an instrument and play some Metallica or should I say try to play it.. Let us know how that goes for you..
Actually, they are quite talented, just not your cup of tea.
some bitter tea.
You don't have to like their music, but to call them talentless is absurd and shows that you clearly know nothing at all about music of any type. Time to shut 'er down and go back out on the front porch of the trailer and grab another cold one.
You think not, indeed.
What have you accomplished? Sell a million CD's lately?
Just because you don't like their music doesn't mean they are "talentless"
Bashing Metallica? Go listen to your cold play and maroon five and your other flaming music.
Cold Play isn't bad mate, tho I would join a riot to overturn maroon's tour bus
Why are you hear? You obviously don't like heavy metal so leave please. This article was not meant for you because your taste in music sucks.
and Justin Bieber is so great, right?
@Ibitz, talking like Yoda you are.
Talentless? You are a real joke. You obviously have no idea how difficult that music is to play. Metal music, while loud, is both fast paced and technically difficult to play. Any musician who plays music should be applauded for their efforts. It is ok to not like metal music, but to say they do not play fine, you are a real tool.
What type of instrument do you play?
They haven't played "fine music" since Cliff Burton died
Second that
exactly right.
true!!!
Wrong. And Justice for All was their last good album, if not their best ever. Black album was a Bob Rock sell out, and don't get me started on anything after that. Hetfield is too busy painting daisies with his therapist to get raw and mean again.
"You have no clue about the metallica lyrics"
That's because Hetfield can't sing.
Growling into a mic does not make you a singer.
Better than Rap!
Rap is crap
Lack of singing ability does not necessarily make one a bad musicion. Consider Bob Dylan.
used to be.....
It is always funny to hear that a band who sings about "creeping death", the "Call of Cthulu", "riding the lightning" (the elcetric chair)and has an album named "Kill 'Em All" actually cares about the injustice of one of their brainwashed fans getting off'ed at one of their shows.
ok tomorrow when you wake up go and practice a kill"em all metallica song! Just do it see waht happens.. I am talking about deeds not just words!!
Why do we have to try and 'live out' their songs? It's music... It's to be listened to. I like Billy Joel. Should I get mad at him for playing piano in a bar? I also like Led Zeppelin. It doesn't mean I am going to ramble-on to Mordor, or go to Kashmir.
music sends messages!!! negative or positive..in the case of Metallica is all depressing, hopless messages that can fuel hate in ones mind.
what is mordor
Thank you!
white girl getting into a car with a black guy? metalicca fans really are stupid
commonsensepeople...........you got it and you said it just right...as a matter of fact you hit the bulls eye in saying that metallica fans are stupidos....
It is spelled with one c.
Then you must be a groupie.
Truth...you are welcome to your opinion about music, and the band/bands that make that music, but why are you amping about the band in this particular case? They are trying to help find a killer. That is a noble thing no matter how you cut it so take your hate elsewhere..please. This was someones daughter that died, and your hate of the band has nothing to do with this. Take it elsewhere.
im sure is noble to try to help someone..even the worst can do de best.. one little snowflake can get hold of other snowflakes and turn into a hudge snowball that can role ove you!!! as an ex-fan all am saying is that that kind of trash music do send negative messages.
"Truth" You are SO full of manure that it is starting to get on my screen! We really don't care what a hateful loser like you thinks of anyone's lyrics! Please go spew your pointless vitrol somewhere else! What positive, constructive contributions have YOU ever made to society, Hmm? NONE whatsoever! That is exactly what we thought, please go "master bait" somewhere else...
Shame money can't buy you spell check.
That is simply incorrect.
Kobe!
The caption under the sketch composite is wrong. The victim was a student at Virginia Tech, not University of Virginia
Metallica's music is just an awful bunch of noise. In 20 years nobody will remember them.
They've already been around for 30 years. I attended a concert in 1992. My kids listen to them. I still listen to them. I am your every day average soccer mom. I'll probably listen to them when I'm 80.
Learn to use and carry a firearm, law enforcement will not be there to protect you.
Truth.....
There are more songs about love than anything else. If music could make things happen we'd all love each other.
I give up! Just please don't make me listen to St. Anger ever again!
