​Morgan Dana Harrington, the Virginia Tech student last seen on October 17 when she went missing at a Metallica concert, has apparently been found. A farmer checking his fences in a hay field near Charlottesville made the discovery yesterday.

Though police say they still must await an autopsy, it seems that evidence found with the body makes them relatively sure it's Morgan.

"We're fairly confident that the remains are those of Morgan Dana Harrington," State Police Superintendent Col. Steven Flaherty told the Augusta Free Press. "Until we receive word from the autopsy, we can't say with 100 percent certainty that this is truly Miss Harrington. However, there were some significant items of evidence that makes us confident that that scientific procedure will confirm that ID."

The body was found on a remote area of the farm used to grow hay. Unfortunately, it would have made a perfect place to hide the young woman, since the hay was waist-high at the time.

Police won't say what other evidence they discovered at the crime scene.

Morgan's body was found 10 miles from the arena and more than a mile from any road.

UPDATE: Dental records positively identify the body of Morgan Dana Harrington.

Morgan was last seen at a Metallica concert in October when she apparently left her friends to go to the bathroom. She somehow ended up outside, and since security wouldn't let her back in, she phoned her friends to say she would find her own way home.

Witnesses who saw her outside the arena said she wasn't with anyone. About an hour later, someone matching her description was seen walking on a nearby bridge. That was the last sighting of her.

Farmer David Dass found her body while driving his tractor on a distant portion of his 700-acre farm yesterday morning. The instant he saw the body, he believed it was Morgan's.

But it remains a mystery how she got to this final resting place. The farm is 10 miles from the arena, and the location where she was found was more than a mile from a road. There is no public access to the area.
