When I watch Sarah Snead speak in this video, I do not see anything in Sarah’s behavior that concerns me.
While Sarah isn’t stressed out or showing deep concern for her friend, she may believe that Morgan simply ran off by her own choice. When you are young, you feel invincible, and Sarah could feel (it is not implausible) that foul play is unlikely. She may be more inclined to believe that Morgan ran off intentionally, but may not be willing to say that publicly. Hence, I can’t put much weigh on her lack of emotions here as this could be a logical explanation for her response.

I was like, “Oh she always talked about running away. She wasn’t happy. She probably just did it. She’ll be back.” I didn’t even blink an eye. How wrong I was. She was murdered and they finally found her body in a cornfield. Had I been interviewed at that point, and been the last person with her, I would have likely been much like Sarah, or worse.
Furthermore, while Sarah laughs in this video and smiles while talking another time, that in and of itself is not a red flag for me either. Sad people and worried people laugh, even in difficult times, especially when they are distracted in a group setting. The timing and content of laughter makes all the difference. More importantly, I do not see her laughter or smiles as “inconsistent” or contradicting.
When I listen to the facts, I do, however, find it odd that her friends would leave Morgan there, outside alone and not worry about her. To think that she would simply find another ride home 150 miles away (if my calculations are correct) is highly unlikely — especially if her car was in the parking lot (even if she didn’t drive it).
I would think Morgan would have (a) asked her friends for the car keys and waited for them in her car, or (b) told them she’d meet them back there later, but her friends don’t say that. I mean Morgan had a car there, her car, if I understand it right and all she had to do was get the keys and she could have gone to a coffee shop. Why would she set out on foot, in the dark? That makes no sense–especially in an unfamiliar place.
I’d be curious to know if there are cell phone records of Morgan’s friends trying to find her after the concert to make sure she is okay. Did they ever call her cell phone? Did they ever get worried? That is odd and unusual. That fact piques my interest more than anything else.
From what I have read in the news, the first time anyone knew Morgan was gone was when she didn’t show up at home the next day.
Could Morgan have planned to run away? It’s possible. Could her friends know? Of course, but I can’t discern that from this video. I’d need to see more.
