Dan and Gil Harrington, the parents of missing Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington, joined her brother, Alex, and a handful of reporters on Charlottesville's Copeley Road bridge this afternoon to thank the public for their assistance in helping to find their daughter since her October disappearance.
Harrington's body was discovered yesterday morning in an Albemarle County field. She had been missing since Oct. 17, 2009, when she disappeared from a Metallica concert at John Paul Jones Arena on the University of Virginia campus.
While her parents declined to discuss the specifics of the case, her mother told the crowd of reporters who had gathered at the bridge that, from what the family had gathered through their conversations with police, "it's very likely that Morgan did not live through the concert."
Gil Harrington discussed the agony of the three months since her daughter had gone missing, not knowing where she was or who might be harming her. Not knowing, she said, was more painful than knowing.
For the first time in 101 days, she said, "I'm not thinking every minute, 'What is he doing to my daughter?'"
The Harringtons told reporters that, now that their daughter's body has been found, they're focused on finding her killer.
