A skeletal female body was found this morning in a remote part of Anchorage Farm, on Route 29 south of the I-64 interchange. Police have not identified the remains yet, but the parents of Morgan Harrington, who has been missing since October 17, when she was last seen in the vicinity of the John Paul Jones Arena, are reportedly on the scene. A press conference is expected at 5 p.m. with the Virginia State Police.

Anchorage Farm is just over 10 miles from JPJ, a journey by car of about 19 minutes.
