Officials alter Harrington search departure location

Volunteer mission will depart Department of Forestry, not Cavalier Inn

This weekend's volunteer community search for Morgan Dana Harrington, originally scheduled to depart the Cavalier Inn, has been relocated. The search will still begin today, tomorrow and Sunday at 9 a.m., but volunteers will meet at the local Department of Forestry office, according to a press release.

The search, aided by the Texas-based Laura Recovery Center and law enforcement officials, is intended to supplement previously completed investigations conducted by the Virginia State Police and University Police. Harrington disappeared Oct. 17 during a Metallica concert at John Paul Jones Arena and was last seen in the vicinity of the Copeley Road bridge, according to police officials.

The Department of Forestry is located at 900 Natural Resources Dr. Participating volunteers must be at least 18 years old.

Anyone with additional information about Harrington's disappearance is encouraged to contact Virginia State Police at (434) 352-3467. Tips can also be e-mailed to bci-appomattox@vsp.virginia.gov.
