Kenny Jarels first met the Harringtons two weeks ago in Charlottesville when he helped with the volunteer search for new leads in the disappearance of Morgan Harrington.
"During this time, I saw the anguish and the pain that Dan and Gill Harrington were going through,” said Jarels.
Jarels says as the holidays get closer, he knew it would get tougher and tougher for them, so he and another supporter organized a candlelight vigil called "Lighting the World with Candles for Morgan" Saturday night.
Students at Tech leave for fall break today so Jarels says there probably will be only a small group participating in the vigil, but he says there will be people lighting candles all over the world.
People on findmorgan.com have responded from Canada, England, France, China, Japan, New Zealand, and 25 other states saying they would participate in the vigil.
"It's amazing to me the outpouring that people all across not just the United States but across the world are showing these people,” said Jarels.
He's encouraging everyone talks to on the website to go outside at nine pm, light a candle, and pray for Morgan and her family.
"It doesn't matter if you're in your backyard, in your front yard, if you're on the beach, it doesn't matter,” said Jarels.
Jarels says he wants the Harringtons to come outside there home and see dozens of candles all around to show that everyone is supporting them. He says he hopes the vigil will reach someone, somewhere in the world that will help bring Morgan home.
