Dan and Gil Harrington visited the Copeley Road Bridge Sunday to clean their daughter's makeshift memorial and place fresh flowers at the sight where Morgan was last seen alive. The Harringtons say they used to visit the Bridge to try to feel their daughter's presence. Now, it is a place to share her memory.
One way Gil says she "conjures" Morgan today is by wearing the bracelet her daughter was killed in.
Morgan's remains were released to her family by the medical examiner in Roanoke. The medical examiner says that the toxicology report and cause of death will take months to determine.
For now, Morgan has been cremated and her ashes sit on her family's coffee table at home. The Harringtons say they will eventually scatter the ashes but temporarily are keeping them. That's because after months of not know where their daughter is, she is finally at home with her family.
However, the Harringtons say that the final puzzle piece is finding justice. Dan and Gil believe there are multiple people involved in Morgan's death and say they are confident police will find the persons involved.
Until then, they say they will not rest. Not only for their daughter's sake but for the safety of the women in Charlottesville.

The coronor collects all the evidence that they can and then they release the body. Determination of her death is already known in part. In the remote area they are probably looking at the different ways to get to the spot they are thinking there are perhaps 2 to 3 people involved and that could be part of the forensic evidence.
If her body has been cremated, how can they determine the cause of death? Everything I've read suggests that the Harringtons and the police already know how she died, and a lot more, but just aren't publicizing it. I hope they're close to an arrest.
why do they say it's more then one killer, They still don't the cause of death yet
