Morgan Dana Harrington’s killer will be found. R.I.P. Morgan! Your parents, your brother, and your dog will see you later, but right now, they, along with the help of VA state police are quite busy. Your faithful friends are with you Morgan. God forgives people in the media. They are not acting as Jesus, and so, may we pray for them. Morgan, your life was not in vain. You have helped to raise awareness. You will be remembered Morgan.

Nancy Grace is a drama queen. An ambulance chaser. I can think of a few other harsh words, but I will not put them in print. You get my drift.

Nancy Grace is a sick sensationalist. She makes her money by acting like an angry advocate of something- all the while profiteering from other people’s suffering.

If she was true advocate her show would be more like “America’s Most Wanted” instead of all the “blips and flashing title bars saying BREAKING NEWS.”

She’s like Fox News except with less morals.

This article just pisses me off!! Sure Morgan is a beauty and deserves the media attention….BUT this is a serious case! I feel like NG is poking fun at it! Listen up b%&*h… many people care about Morgan…because of who she is not because she is blonde and beautiful. Grow up Nancy!..and if you can’t habndle that, then get the hell off of TV!

ever who has morgan-please let her go home to her family and those who love and know her. This is a terrible thing for her family to be going through. True she is pretty but that matters not. She is a young lady with her whole life ahead of her or we hope that is still an option for her sake and her parents.

go to hell. how can you even make a comment like that? i am friends with morgan and her family and friends are going thru hell right now.. if it was someone you knew or even your own child you would go thru anything and spend any amount of money to get his/her face out there! wouldnt you hope your dad/mom would do the same to get you back? this case has nothing to do with her being “pretty” or “blonde” the main reason is b/c she is attends Va Tech with the shooting and the behedding there lately its going to get news. she is a great bubbly person with an awesome personality and a great inner spirit. think before you make a comment like that.. if it was your friend or family you would have a different thinking, i never wish this on anyone now that i have experienced the feeling i dont want anyone to ever feel this way.

Nancy Grace calls all the missing girls and boys beautiful or handsome. Not just Morgan. I think she does this for the heart broken families, and because she knows what it is like to lose a loved one to violence. When she says beautiful, she may also be referring to the innocence inside of a person. A victim of an evil person.

As long as Morgan is seen on the media,it doesn’t matter what they say. her face is everywhere now, that was the family and friends intent.
Society is not going to change just because we want them to. I understand the sexualisation of it all. It can be quite disgusting. However, we want her home, so at this point it truly matters not.
2-4-1 Morgan, we love and miss you. Come home!
If you have Morgan let her go,let her come home to her family.
We will not quit you Morgan!

but the reality is that it is motivated parents, not the police or media who drive the uber-coverage in these missing persons cases.

Sorry to derail, but Smith is most definitely NOT gender integrated at the undergraduate level, unless I missed some major news. You might be thinking of Vassar.

What in the world is the difference between
co-ed beauty and Nancy’s other
usual attention getting names such as
Little Caylee, Tot Mom, Baby such and such.
SO WHAT?????????
This is American TV and is sensationalism
but in these cases a Good Thing because
it draws the public in and helps the
victims to be discovered.
How about balloon boy and his circus of a
family.
Who cares?

I understand your viewpoint, but the reality is that it is motivated parents, not the police or media, who drive the uber-coverage in these missing persons cases. I live in Cleveland and the women who were killed were usually drug and/or alcohol addicts. Their family members often did not pursue their abscence other than alerting the police. Often the victims had a pattern of not being around as part of their lifestyle using drugs and alcohol. It is a horrible thing to imagine what the Cleveland serial murderer did to those poor women and their lives are valuable too. But you can’t blame Morgan Harrington’s parents for getting her story out there as often and as big as possible in the hope it will lead them to their daughter. I would do the same thing.

It was very interesting watching and reading the news coverage of a spate of killings of sex workers a few years ago in the UK. The language evolved almost universally from calling them prostitutes to talking about them as young women who had problems. As they became humanised because information about their families and life came out.

So if Nancy Grace goes missing, how will the chyron describe her?
