On this Thanksgiving, a Virginia family is mourning the absence of one of its members.

Dan and Gil Harrington and their son Alex began the holiday Alex on the Copeley Street Bridge in Charlottesville where Morgan Harrington disappeared almost six weeks ago.

They were there to make a public plea for help to find her.

Gil says, "End this immense suffering that we are feeling. Please."

The family has a tradition of going to Charlottesville for Thanksgiving every year.

However, this year, they placed flowers and knick knacks on the bridge where Morgan was last seen.

There have been no new leads since police released information that members of the University of Virginia men's basketball team were among the last people to speak to Morgan before she vanished.
