Acting on a tip, police shut down access to the Comfort Inn motel at Interstate 64 and Route 250 in Charlottesville Saturday morning and confirmed they were looking for Morgan Harrington.
However, after fingerprinting a blue truck in the motel parking lot and having bloodhounds search the surrounding areas, police say the sighting was a "false alarm."
Harrington is the Virginia Tech student who disappeared last Saturday while attending a Metallica concert at John Paul Jones Arena at the University of Virginia.
Crime Stoppers is currently offering a $100,000 reward for information related to the Harrington disappearance.
