Noisecreep has issued the following report from Chris Harris:
One week after the grisly discovery of missing METALLICA fan Morgan Harrington's skeletal remains in a remote hayfield 10 miles south of Charlottesville, VA., medical examiners have ruled out the possibility that her death was, as some have speculated, accidental. Harrington was murdered. The news was revealed February 2nd, but officials have yet to determine just how she was killed. That information should be released in the next few weeks.
According to reports, Harrington, who was a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student, did not wander away from Charlottesville and die from exposure to freezing temperatures. She was likely abducted and her life taken from her. Morgan vanished from Metallica's October 17th concert, after she was separated from friends and ended up outside the venue, which has a no re-entry policy.
The medical examiner's office says they're not yet able to release information on how Harrington was killed. Forensic experts revealed that it could take weeks to make that determination, due to the rate of decomposition of her body. Officials say that if Morgan's body was, as her family suspects, left in the hayfield the night she disappeared, it endured warm and cold weather, rain and snow storms and possibly, animal and insect activity.
