The reward for information leading to the return of Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington -- or the conviction of those responsible for her disappearance -- has reached $150,000, thanks to a contribution from rock band Metallica, according to the Web site findmorgan.com.
 
Harrington, 20, of Roanoke County, vanished during an Oct. 17 concert by Metallica at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville.
 
Last week her father announced at a vigil on his daughter's behalf that the reward had reached $100,000. Metallica has added another $50,000, according to the Web site.

Harrington has blond hair and blue eyes, stands 5-foot-6 and weighs 120 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black miniskirt and black T-shirt with black tights and black boots. According to police, she left her friends to go to the restroom and ended up outside the arena, which has a no re-admittance policy. She phoned her friends and told them she would either meet them after the show or find a way home. Her purse and cell phone were found in a parking lot the next day.
