I miss you Morgan. Constantly, daily, in an ever streaming cascade of memories, I grieve. I contemplate and mourn your infant self, the tiny milky baby teeth - like new corn. Morgan, your toddler starfish fingers clasped waxy rods and you smelled like Crayons. I soothed teen aged fears with rhythmic strokes, brushing your hair, thick and heavy after bath. You don't get over it. If you are lucky, you might recover. That's what we hope to do. To recover the raw open wound caused by the murder of our beloved daughter, Morgan Dana Harrington. That severing, the amputation of Morgan from our family still excruciates. Feeling this pain for two years makes us determined to Help Save The Next Girl and prevent such devastation in other families. We are most grateful for the love and compassion of our community of supporters. Their strength carries us as we continue to clamor for atonement, for justice. 241 The Harringtons

The beautiful, shiny, loving Morgan Dana Harrington was a true original. She brought much joy and fun to family and friends for 20 years. Her light and potential were extinguished when she was abducted from a Metallica concert 10/17/09 in Charlottesville Virginia.

Morgan’s skeletonized body was found at Anchorage Farm, Albemarle County on 1/26/10. The person(s) responsible remain at large, presumably still in the Charlottesville area. We ask that any information that might help in the investigation of this case be directed to: Virginia State Police tip line (434) 352-3467.

It is important to us that Morgan’s killer(s) did not erase her from the world and that she continues to create a positive legacy. To honor that we are moving forward with several educational projects that Morgan, an education major at VT, was personally involved with:
