Medical Examiner Positively Identifies Remains As MORGAN HARRINGTON

January 27, 2010

WTVR.com reports that the state medical examiner has confirmed the remains found on an Albemarle County Farm Tuesday are those of 20-year-old Morgan Harrington, who was last seen at a METALLICA concert in October.

Virginia State Police say the confirmation was made using dental records provided by the family and say the investigation continues into the time and cause of death.

Meantime, Morgan Harrington's father talked to CBS 6 about the discovery of his daughter's remains and what the revelation means to his family.

Dan Harrington told Catie Beck, "This may sound strange, but we have found some peace in all of this. It wasn't the outcome that we wanted but we know now where our daughter is and there is peace in that."

Harrington said he felt that God had answered his prayers in a way after last week telling his wife he couldn't take much more of the "not knowing."

He said, "Now we have to figure out how to honor Morgan in death, how to have her life mean something."
