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.

Could I please read just one forum that doesn't mention race, Obama, Israel etc. How the rejects on these boards find reason on every single subject to bring these things up is tiresome.
The Sandman has entered.
This girl was crucified
Right on Ron!
He should just change his name back to Hatfield, ain't foolin' no one but them dumb McCoys!!
I will get Hetfield if it's the last thing I do.
that makes him look ridiculously racist? get real.
Silly blacks and anyone who comments I'm a silly white.
Mettalica should have quit after Cliff died. Nothing but bubble gum garbage metal out of this band.
No kidding.
After they find the killer they should launch a search for Jame's voice.
You're right if they quit back this would of never of happened. Maybe they should get locked up!
"Anybody who doesn't like the music I like obviously does like REAL music."
Did I get that right?
Obey your Master!
I agree
perfectly said!
Thats a cool thing for Metallica too do
I heard he also pirated some music
That might get him the chair
For pirating music, they offered a $20,000 reward.
Ok, I tried to make sense of this article. First it said that the perpetrator was approximately 25-35 years old and that would make him 32-42 years old today.. So that would be 7 years. 7 years ago was 2005. The murder occurred in 2009.
I hope their investigation can be a little more accurate than these numbers. I hope they find him – no matter how old he actually is.
It's been 7 years since the first attach, which they think may be related.
He was 25-35 at the time of the 2005 attack.
you are not math challenged, it is your reading comprehension that is bad. they FBI said that DNA linked the 2009 murder to a 2005 murder. The original ages given were for the suspect in 2005, and now that 7 years have passed (2005 + 7 = 2012) he would be seven years older.
It said he was 25-35 at the time of the 2005 attack.
They were talking about the 2005 assault when the perpetrator was witnessed to be 25-35 years old.
Hi MathChallenged,
Please read the article again, and you will see where you are also challenged in reading comprehension.
The murder was in 2009, but the killer has continued to age from then to now, 2012. It has been seven years since the assault in 2005.
So, we are looking for a two dimensional floating head...got it.
I hope law enforcement has or obtains DNA sample of a known offender that I am liking for this crime and compares it to Fairfax/GMU perp. If there's a match, investigate his connection to remote, hard to access dump site and black Pantera T-shirt found on bush @ 15th and Grady. We are THIS CLOSE to solving this crime.
That is a good thing wut metallica is doin cuz they did so much wrong in the past mainly james hetfield so let them do what they want to do it has nuthin to do wit there music so SHUT THE HELL UP AND STOP TALKIN ABOUT WUT THERE MUSIC REPRESENTS
