CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - The parents of a Virginia Tech student who went missing in Charlottesville last month are asking the community to help search for her this weekend.

Dan Harrington told a news conference Wednesday the three-day search will be coordinated by the Laura Recovery Center, a Texas-based group that helps to recover missing children.

Twenty-year-old Morgan Dana Harrington was last seen on a bridge that crosses railroad tracks after she became separated from her friends at a Metallica concert Oct. 17.

Searchers will get instructions at a meeting at the Cavalier Inn Thursday night.

Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller says police have received 350 tips so far, and have followed up on every one.

She says Metallica has added $50,000 to the reward for Morgan Harrington's return, bringing it to $150,000.
