Morgan Harrington's Father On Her Murder - "I Am Appalled That We Have Not Been Able To Have An Arrest"
April 28, 2011, 13 years ago
According to Collegiatetimes.com, Dan and Gil Harrington still call their daughter Morgan’s cell phone to simply listen to her voice — a voice they haven’t heard since her disappearance on October 17, 2009.
“It is stupid to keep paying for her phone,” Gil Harrington said. “But we like to keep it and call her and hear her say, ‘I’ll get back to you as soon as I can' — but she never does.”Morgan Harrington’s voice has been silenced, her physical presence diminished. But she remains an integral part of her parents lives, as they are left mourning and endlessly wondering who murdered their daughter.
Morgan, a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student, went missing when she was in Charlottesville for a Metallica concert at the University of Virginia’s John Paul Jones Arena. Her body was found 101 days later on Jan. 26, 2010.
More than a year after Virginia State Police uncovered her skeletal remains on Anchorage Farm outside Charlottesville, there has not been an arrest for her murder.
Dan said justice is important to him — he wants someone to pay for the crime, while his wife wants a dangerous person pulled off the streets.
“I am appalled that we have not been able to have an arrest,” he said.
