Harrington: Familial DNA Could Catch Morgan’s Killer
Dan Harrington believes landmark DNA technology could help investigators connect the dots in the search for his daughter’s murderer.
“With luck and science we hope that the person who killed our daughter will be brought to justice,” Harrington told members of the Virginia Crime Commission yesterday.
Morgan Harrington disappeared in October, 2009, after a concert in Charlottesville. A farmer discovered her body in a rural portion of Albemarle County Jan. 26.
Police have linked DNA from her body to an unsolved sexual assault that happened in Fairfax five years ago. But so far, investigators have been unable to match the sample to a name.
That’s where familial DNA could help.
