Back on October 17th, Dana went missing. Dana, a Virginia Tech student had gone to a Metallica concert. Around 8:40 p.m., she went outside to smoke a cigarette and left her ticket inside. Her friends in the arena called her and she told them she'd find her own ride home. That was the last time anyone saw her.
Police found her purse, ID and cell phone in the parking lot, but said there was no sign of a struggle.
David Bass found the remains on Tuesday in a remote hayfield on his farm approximately 10 miles outside of Charlottesville. There is no public access to the area where the body was found. Police had not searched the area before this morning.
"I was on my tractor feeding cows on a remote part of the farm I don't normally go to," Bass told The Hook, a Charlottesville newspaper.
The remains reportedly have blond hair and were clad in black clothing. Missing-person fliers for Harrington described her as blond and said she was wearing a black T-shirt with the word "Pantera" on it, a black miniskirt, black tights and black boots when she disappeared.
"This is a horrible day" for the family, her father, Dan Harrington, told WTVR in Richmond after the remains were discovered.
Did she know her killer? Had he targeted her as a victim? Will her killer ever be found?
The Harrington family has offered a $100,000 reward for her return or information leading to the arrest of anyone involved in her disappearance. Metallica has added another $50,000 in reward money.
