"We don't think it's been proved definitively yet, but it's most likely," Gil Harrington 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."

Tuesday afternoon, Gil and Dan Harrington rushed to a farm in Charlottesville, Va. about an hour's drive northwest of Richmond, to determine if remains found there were of their 20-year-old daughter who vanished during a Metallica concert Oct. 27, 2009.
