Dan and Gil Harrington speak at John Paul Jones Arena five months after Morgan's disappearance
March 17th 03:22pm
<snipped>
"We come to Charlottesville about every two to three weeks. And we don't always meet with folks like you," said Dan Harrington, referring to members of the press. The family visits Charlottesville roughly every two or three weeks. "But we will continue to meet. And we are meeting with police on a regular basis."
"It is easy to be complacent," added Dan Harrington. "Five months is a long time, and I think it's important for us to remembe that we need to keep it in the forefront of the public. And we will, as much as we can."
Dan Harrington then distributed a list titled "Missing and/or Murdered in Virginia," featuring the names of 18 individuals, including Morgan, reported missing or dead since August 28, 2009. Gil Harrington also shared her perceptions of the person she deems responsible for her daughter's death, saying that there is a "man-monster in Charlottesville" who "makes sport out of killing."

Morgan Harringtons parents talk on 5 month anniversary of her death

State Police officials tell us that Morgan likely fell outside John Paul Jones Arena that night, cutting her chin.
The Harringtons also speculated about a possible connection between Morgans murder and a list of unsolved missing person cases in the Charlottesville and Southwest Virginia area. They even handed out a flier with a list of unsolved cases on it.
There is a man, monster in Charlottesville who likes to hurt young girls, Gil Harrington said. State Police tell us theyve found no connections to any other cases.
Finally, Gil Harrington said the killer broke Morgans bones.
I cannot get the image of Morgans shattered bones out of my mind, nor the jagged feel of the fractures on my fingers.
She ended by reading one of her blog postings to her deceased daughter.
I try not to think about the pain you were in as you were slaughtered. Were you still alive when you were brought to Anchorage Farm to be hunted like a deer running frantically over the hay-stubble, desperate to escape, trying to survive. Crying. Screaming. I see it. I hear it. Or were you brought there already dead like a slab of meat, carrion to be discarded and dumped in the field to rot, another carcass on the hunting preserve. These images haunt me at night.

It's been five months since Morgan Harrington went missing. On Wednesday, her parents talked about their frustration.
The Harringtons also talked about how frustrated they are that it's taking so long to get DNA results back from the medical examiner.
"She'll never have a marriage, she'll never have a graduation, she'll never have a child, she'll never have a career, but there is a person or persons that is here in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area who everyday walks among you all," said Dan Harrington.
To honor Morgan, the family plans to participate in the Charlottesville and Roanoke "Take Back the Night" events, which raises awareness of sexual assault and abuse against women.

They asked everyone to think about anything they may remember about the night their daughter disappeared. The Harringtons also say they want to bring attention to safety at the University of Virginia, and the Charlottesville area; especially for women.
"We do have her body, which is a comfort," said Gil Harrington. "But we don't have answers, and we need answers and we need justice."

Morgan Harrington's Parents Speak to her Murderer
Months after her remains were found the family returns hoping to convince the killer of their 20-year old daughter to come forward.
March 17, 2010
<snipped>
Five months since Morgan disappeared and almost two months since her remains were found on a farm near UVA's campus, there are no suspects and no persons of interest. Police say their investigation in ongoing but they have no strong leads.
"As a mother I beg the women to be prudent," said Gil. "Look after each other."
The Harringtons say other women in the surrounding area are at risk while Morgan's killer remains at large. They say Morgan's remains - indicate the killer broke her bones. They imagine her torture and can't imagine it happening again, not on their watch.
"Whether it be through compassion for Harringtons, whether it be guilt, they need to come forward."

On her blog, Gil Harrington wrote:

"These images haunt me at night. During the day I can usually shake them off and focus on our job, trying to find your murderer. Other girls are in danger while this sadistic monster walks free.

Group taking thousands of pounds of much needed medical and other supplies to Zambia
3/17/10
<snipped>
It's about a place thousands of miles away on another continent. A Roanoke based group known as the Orphan Medical Network International will travel to Zambia to bring help through the smallest of things such as a cough drop or a bar of soap.
The life expectancy there is only 32 years old. It is a place where mothers are dying of HIV/AIDS and children are starving.
So OMNI workers are packing to go on a medical mission near the Congo border. One of the nurses is the mother of murder victim Morgan Harrington.
Morgan's abduction and murder dominated news in Western Virginia for months.
Gil says Morgan used to help prepare for these missions.

Family: Morgan Harrington bones were shattered
Published: March 17, 2010
<snipped>
When Morgan D. Harringtons bones were found in an Albemarle County pasture, they had been shattered and broken into jagged pieces, her parents said Wednesday.
When you view not just a skeleton, but brutal damage to a skeleton, you can imagine what [her mother] must have gone through, the victims father, Dan Harrington, said.
Gil Harrington said she believes the person who killed her daughter caused the damage to her bones. I cannot get the image of Morgans shattered bones out of my mind, Harrington said.
State police spokeswoman Corinne Geller declined to comment Wednesday on the state of the remains.
Police are continuing to investigate the case, and leads are still coming in, Geller said. Police dont have suspects yet, she said. The man who did this and I am confident that it is a man is being protected by his environment, by people in his environment, and that needs to stop, Gil Harrington said.
Officials continue to wait on the results of DNA testing, Dan Harrington said. One thing that we have clearly learned ... is that things do not work as they do on CSI, he said, referring to the television program that focuses on solving crimes.
The Harringtons also highlighted other Virginia murders and disappearances that have happened since August.

Parents of slain Virginia Tech student believe murder is related to Colonial Parkway killings
3/17/10
<snipped>
The parents of the Virginia Tech student who was kidnapped and murdered after a Charlottesville concert are now worried her killing is part of a larger crime spree. Her father said the murder could even be related to the Colonial Parkway killings.
Today Gil Harrington went to the Copley Bridge in Charlottesville, the last place her daughter Morgan was seen alive.
She placed a chrome angel atop a spreading memorial. She chose this sculpture because it is featureless. It's not just for Morgan, but for a number of young women mostly who have vanished or who've been slain in a series of unsolved crimes.
"This is not his first crime. He has upped his game in a significant and disturbing way," Gil Harrington said.
Morgan's father distributed a map showing the disappearances or murders of several people like Morgan in the past year. He's also aware of Alicia Showalter Reynolds, the victim of an unknown highway stalker in the Charlottesville area. In the mid 1990s, a man targeted women on Rt. 29. Morgan's body was found not far from where Reynold's remains were dumped more than a decade earlier. Dan Harrington thinks the cases may be related.
"We have discussed that with police. They have not commented nor committed that Morgan's death is connected to that, but clearly it is being considered. It is also being considered with the Colonial Parkway Murders," he said.
Harrington's parents say if someone does not turn him in, he will surely strike again.
