It's been two years since Bethany Ann Decker disappeared, leaving a young child and a heartbroken mother desperate for her return.

Parents of Slain Student Remind Predator Remains At-Large

Mother of missing woman finds comfort, purpose in Harrington campaign.

More than two years after Morgan Harrington's body was found on a farm southwest of Charlottesville, her parents continue the search for her killer. On Saturday, Dan and Gil Harrington, with a group of volunteers, set up a booth and passed out flyers outside of Giant in Fairfax City, reminding grocery shoppers that Morgan's predator is still at-large.
