Heavy metal band Metallica have added $50,000 to a reward fund for a female fan who went missing at one of their gigs.
Morgan Harrington, 20, has not been seen since she left John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia, before the start of a Metallica concert to use the toilet on Saturday October 17th.
When arena staff did not let her back in she called friends to say she would make her own way home, but the Virginia Tech student never arrived.
Morgan's parents Daniel and Gil have already offered $100,000 for information that leads to her return.
A statement on Metallica's website said the band was "deeply concerned" about the disappearance.
"Our thoughts are with Morgan and her family for her safe return," they said.
A description on the findmorgan.com website says the 20-year-old is blonde with blue eyes and 5ft 6in tall.
She was wearing a black Pantera T-shirt, a black skirt and black boots when she disappeared. She was apparently not carrying ID or a mobile phone when she went missing, despite managing to contact friends inside the arena shortly before 21:00 local time.
