Remains Found on Farm, Missing Virginia Student’s Family Contacted
Virginia state police say human remains have been discovered on a southern Albermarle County farm.
The skeletal remains were discovered Tuesday morning on the Anchorage Farm by owner David Bass.
A representative for the family of missing Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington confirmed the family was contacted and some members are on their way to the body.
The family learned this morning that remains of a female body had been found in Virginia, the family’s representative, Leslie Valenza, told Fox News.
Dan Harrington, Morgan’s father, told WTVR.com that “this is a horrible day” for him and his family.
Harrington, a 20-year-old junior at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, hasn’t been seen since October when she was separated from her friends at a Metallica concert in Charlottesville.
At this time, there is no conclusive report by law enforcement that the body is that of Harrington.
Bass told The Associated Press he was feeding his cattle at the time and saw the remains from his tractor. He declined additional comment.
“I looked down and saw what looked like a human skull and my first thought was that it was Morgan Harrington,” Bass told WTVR.com.
State police say they will not discuss the finding until a news conference that has been scheduled for 5 p.m. EDT Tuesday.
Friends, family and volunteers have dedicated a lot of time and effort to her cause.
Morgan’s parents, Gil and Dan Harrington, say it has been tough for them, but say they have to think positively.
“We’re coming for you baby,” says Gil, as the search continues for her 20-year-old daughter.
On October 17, Morgan disappeared from a Metallica concert at the John Paul Jones arena in Charlottesville.
In a press conference held late last month, Virginia State Police Lt. Joe Rader said clues to her disappearance are somewhere out there.
Gil and Dan have worked tirelessly to keep Morgan’s story alive. They’ve appeared on national television broadcasts, including Dr. Phil. Morgan’s picture is even on the cover of the most recent People Magazine.
Valley residents will receive a picture of Morgan in their mailbox, as part of the Valpak coupon mailer.
Local radio DJ Ryan O’Bryan knows Morgan and continues to speak to listeners about her disappearance. He says it’s tough to deal with something like this, especially when it hits so close to home.
State Police released a detailed time line of Morgan’s whereabouts the night she disappeared. It stops at 9:30 p.m., when she was seen on a bridge in Charlottesville.
However, after receiving more than 300 leads, there’s no sign of Morgan.
If you have any information about Morgan’s disappearance, you are asked to call Virginia State Police at 434-352-3467.
