A memorial mass for Virginia Tech student Morgan Dana Harrington will take place Feb. 5 at 3:30 p.m. at St. Andrew's Catholic Church in the victim's hometown of Roanoke.
Harrington, 20, was reported missing Oct. 17 after leaving a Metallica concert at John Paul Jones Arena. After a three-month search and investigation, her skeletal remains were found in a hay field on Anchorage Farm, located about 10 miles southwest of the arena. Officials have now declared her case a homicide.
A reception at Hotel Roanoke will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, the Harrington family is asking for donations to a memorial scholarship in her name or to an African medical aid organization. Contributions may be sent to:
The Morgan Dana Harrington Memorial Scholarship at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine
