Morgan Harrington’s parents on NBC’s Today Show: Worried about abduction possibility

The parents of missing Roanoke County Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington appeared on NBC’s today Show Tuesday morning, hoping to keep the search for their daughter fresh on a national level.

Morgan’s mother Gil told NBC’s Meredith Viera that the couple has directed their energy into finding Morgan, and not into despair.  Gil Harrington also said she’s “very worried” about the possibility that Morgan was kidnapped.  Gil added that with Halloween approaching, she’s also fearful for the safety of other women in the Charlottesville area if someone is taking women.

Morgan’s father Dan said the family is holding out out that Morgan “will come back to us,“ and called the situation a “parents’ worst nightmare.“
