State Police are searching a grassy median on Interstate 64 outside of Charlottesville today in connection with a Virginia Tech student missing since Oct. 17.
About a dozen troopers and investigators were walking along the median between mile markers 112 and 114. The search is connected to the case of Morgan Harrington, who was last seen at a Metallica concert in Charlottesville.
The search is routine and was not prompted by any particular tip or lead, police said.
Police said it’s common practice for law enforcement to return to areas relevant to an ongoing investigation and re-examine them.
Nothing new of any importance to the case has been discovered, police said.
