When Morgan Dana Harrington went missing and was then found dead in a Virginia field, her parents' world was shattered. When her parents found out about the long string of crimes that went unpunished by her killer, Jesse Matthew Jr., they turned their outrage into a fight to "save the next girl."

Morgan was a vibrant 20-year-old college student attending a Metallica concert in Charlottesville, Virginia, when she disappeared in 2009. She wanted to be an educator. Five years later, Matthew would be arrested for the abduction and murder of another college student, 18-year-old Hannah Graham. Now, her parents, Gil and Dan Harrington, have honored her death by fighting to protect others and her life by educating students all over the world.

Dan and Gil join me to discuss Morgan's life, death and legacy, their grief and their triumphant aftermath in the second of two episodes.
