Virginia State Police said last week the necklace worn by slain Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington has not yet been recovered.
When police initially reported Harrington missing in October 2009, they emphasized the unique characteristics of the Swarovski necklace she wore in hopes that the necklace's physical description would help with recovery efforts, Virginia State Police spokesperson Corinne Geller said.
"We released information early on because it was distinctive," Geller said. "We thought it might help someone jog their memory."
Police discussed the necklace's status last week while Harrington's parents visited for the first time the farm on which her remains were discovered.
Police are continuing their efforts to recover the lost piece of jewelry. Officials have been scouting local pawnshops and online stores that sell jewelry in an attempt to find the necklace.
