Morgan Harrington update: Shirt Found Confirmed to Be That of Slain Virginia Tech Student

Examiner.com- Authorities announced Thursday that a t-shirt found near a Charlottesville, Va. intersection, is that of murdered Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington.

Morgan disappeared outside a Metallica concert Oct. 17 at the John Paul Jones Arena on the University of Virginia campus grounds. Aroung 8:20 p.m. that night, witnesses saw her speaking with friends on her cell phone and walking through a parking lot.

In January, David Bass discovered her remains while feeding his cattle on his Albemarle County farm.

A black t-shirt with “Pantera” written on the front—now confirmed to be Morgan’s—was found in November near an intersection in Charlottesville.

Police urge all those with information regarding Morgan to call the Jefferson Area Crime Stoppers at 434-977-4000 or the Virginia State Police Tip Line at 434-352-3467. A reward of $150,041 is being offered for anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of Morgan’s murderer.
