Harrington’s mother Gil spoke to a local CBS affiliate, saying the remains are “probably” her daughters, and Harrington’s parents were on the scene to assist in identifying the body:
“We don’t think it’s been proved definitively yet, but it’s most likely,” she said. “So, we want to go and be on hand and see if that determination can be made. Or if we can help in making that determination.”
Gil Harrington said she wanted to thank people for all their prayers and the efforts to find Morgan.
“I was hoping we would find her alive, but at least we won’t always be wondering for a lifetime,” she said.
Bass told reporters he found the remains while checking fences around the property that held cows. He called authorities after determining they could be human bones.
The remains have not been positivity identified as those of 20-year-old Harrington, who disappeared from a Metallica concert at the John Paul Jones Arena on October 27, 2009.
