There are several new developments in the case of the missing 20-year-old Virginia Tech student.
State police say Morgan Harrington may have a scratch on her face. However the mark is not from an assault but from an accident.
Her family and friends are making sure she's remembered in Charlottesville where she disappeared almost two weeks ago.
Flowers, poems and other mementos are being left at the Copeley Street Bridge. That bridge has special significance in this case because police say it is the last place Morgan was seen before she disappeared.
The makeshift memorial is near Lannigan Field, where Morgan's purse was found by a passerby the day after a Metallica concert Morgan tried to attend.
Morgan's parents, Dan and Gil Harrington, were in town Friday in an effort to continuously bring attention to their daughter's disappearance.
They hung missing person signs and placed flowers to remind people they are still looking for Morgan, and they won't stop searching.
Dan says, "Friends and family have been bringing us flowers and we thought they'd be better noted here at the bridge."
The Harringtons also put flowers in front of the police station. They are thankful to the efforts of the police and the people who have been calling in tips.
Still, while they remain hopeful, they had a message for their daughter.
"I love you Morgan. We're trying to get to you," says Gil. "Stay strong!"
However, they also had a message for the person responsible for Morgan's disappearance.
"Whoever has taken Morgan, I am relentless," says Gil. "I will turn this world apart to find you."
The Harringtons say they're up and down, every minute, every hour of every day, but their one hope lies in that one special tip that could lead them to their daughter.
Latest Comments
Has anyone checked with the railroad company about checking the rail cars that are in the area? Sometimes rail cars are set aside for severval weeks unattended.
Has the local media put out a help call for all people that parked their vehicles in the parking lot where Morgan's purse was found? I makes sense to me that whoever took her came from that parking lot, followed her tho the bridge area, dragged her back to the parking area where the struggle with her continued. An all points call needs to be publically made to all peoples that parked in that area. Reward for that alone to get call backs. Also, someone please ask Nancy Grace to pick this up again. Have the girls go on her show, the parents, the peoples from the parking lot. The more publicity the better. You may actually find her. Also, what about FBI special unit dogs? What about Tim Miller from the Texas Search Team. Try everything you can. You are in my prayers.
