Reports of a girl being loud, mouthy, cursing and combative (to an extent). And reports of her covering a lot of ground - Arena to parking lot to RV lot to bridge...
Possibly upset with a friend...the fall could have been embarrassing to her...maybe even disorienting her somewhat or makes her even more PO'ed... Maybe MH just said the heck with it. Friend was being a "downer" and not as hyped about the concert...I've fell and messed up my face...screw it...
Gets outside and realizes she's locked out, doesn't have her keys to her car...she gets even more mad. With the coldness and yukky weather it's kind of snapped her back to reality...And maybe she realizes at some point it's her fault for getting herself locked out...
But what I don't get is her moving away from a relatively safe area - that being the arena and walking to places where she may not be helped if needed. Then again, she may have felt that false sense of security of being in a college town and basically in or around campus. If someone were following her or she felt was attempting to do her harm...why would she go further away from the JPJ instead of running back towards the arena? A place where she knew people were...where her car was...
Okay...I'm rambling...sorry...just kind of thinking out loud...
Respectfully Snipped..
If was a way to verify the combative girl actually was Morgan, and not some random that looks like..
I agree the distance she covered is pretty far.
The only reasons i can see her leaving the zone of the arena is if someone there was making her feel unsafe..
She might travel away from whatever is making her feel unsafe and in the opposite direction.
I wish we knew what was said between her and the BB players, there had to be some context of convo other than just "hi". Did she ask how to get somewhere, ask them for directions? For the time? To use their phones?
What i don't understand is why didn't one of her friends go with her to the bathroom? That is something i would never let a friend do alone in a huge venue like JPJ. Its not like they were at a small bar. People usually stick to the buddy system at concerts like these, heck a lot even do at regular bars. Her friends didn't seem to care she was going to the bathroom alone, which leads me to believe they were to intoxicated to care, or they got in a fight, or they just were plain ignorant towards Morgan (which goes along with not caring about their friend). There was 4 of them who went together. One could have went with Morgan while the other stayed with her boyfriend.
Something happened during Morgan's trip to the restroom and to smoke.
What ever happened made her end up outside the arena.. Maybe she forgot she didn't have her car keys on her, as others have mentioned.
Could she have just bought another ticket to get back inside? Once outside it is possible something else happened to her to make her leave the "safety zone" of the arena. Perhaps someone outside there was making her feel uncomfortable which caused her to travel farther away from what we would consider safe.
She travels farther away from what is bothering her, we see her go towards the RV lot which looks dimly lit and isolated, then the last sightings, #5 near where her purse was found, or #6 on the bridge and or supposed hitchhiking.
If her cell phone was working and her friends actually cared, i'm sure she wouldn't be missing today.
I really do think there was some hostility between Morgan and at least one of the friends there.. They should have used the buddy system. I can't imagine just accepting that your friend is locked outside and not even bothering to try to help her get back in. Especially being they were "9" and all the carp. Such good friends wouldn't act like that unless there were tensions. I would be an emotional wreck if a good friend went missing on my watch. I wouldn't be able to focus on schoolwork, i would be too busy blaming myself, helping with the case, until there was closure.
What was really said on the phone call to the friends? Even if Morgan did tell them not to worry about her, they should have worried about her anyway. They just accepted that she would find a ride home hours away while they take her car back? That's ridiculous.
Has her roommate Amy spoken out at all? We've seen Sarah speak nonchalant in a video already.
