Metallica's James Hetfield makes PSA to find fan's murderer

Let's do our best to keep this one out of PRSI, everyone.

I caught this one on NPR this morning, and barring the Napster fiasco, no-one can say that metal heads, or the bands don't care or look out for each other, especially after Dimebag Darrell's murder. I think this is cool.

Metallica's James Hetfield Makes PSA For FBI To Help Find Fan's Killer

James Hetfield, lead singer and guitarist for the heavy metal band Metallica, makes a straight-forward appeal for help in finding a fan's killer in a new public service ad produced for the FBI, Virginia and local law enforcement agencies.

Morgan Harrington, 20, was last seen alive on Oct. 17, 2009, when she left a Metallica concert at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. As the FBI writes, "her remains were discovered the following January in a remote field on a farm in Albemarle County, Va."

Since then, DNA evidence has linked her murder to an unknown suspect in a September 2005 sexual assault in Fairfax, Va.

How to contact authorities about the Harrington case:

Along with the Hetfield video, authorities today released "enhanced" composite sketches of the suspect in that 2005 sexual assault.

There's a reward of up to $150,000 — $50,000 of it from Metallica — for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for Harrington's murder.

"Remember, any information — no matter how small you might think it is — could be that crucial piece investigators need to help solve the case," Hetfield says in the new PSA.

I'm embedding the PSA here, as I think it would do some good, especially for those in the area of where this happened. Again, I think this is really cool.

It's great to see this. I'm sure there would be fewer unsolved cases if they had more exposure. Celebrities can provide this.

Imagine Lohan ran around with a picture of a missing girl on her t-shirt. Girl wouldn't be missing for long.

I think you meant a picture on her panties either front or back. That seems to be all we are seeing. However there are those times when she isn't wearing any, so yup a shirt would do!
