CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Human remains discovered Saturday are believed to be the body of missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, police said.

A press conference is underway.

The remains were found off Old Lynchburg Road today during a search for Graham, who was last seen Sept. 13 in an area of Charlottesville known as the Downtown Mall. Police have been asking owners of large parcels of property in surrounding counties to search their land and report back.

Jesse Matthew, 32, is now behind bars, arrested in Texas as a suspect in Graham’s disappearance. He was transferred to Virginia and charged with abduction with intent to defile, and is being held in a Virginia jail.

How do ride services like Uber screen to minimize the likelihood of events like this?

They can minimize them by the fact that the driver's picture and name is sent to the rider, along with vehicle information. All that data is tracked by the company. It also links the passenger to the driver. The cars are also tracked real-time as to position, so you can find the closest driver to you.

VA governor is one term and you’re out. This guy won’t fry till McAwful is gone. But fry he will.

Two other, older, women in the Charlottesville area ‘went missing’ last summer. I hope their families can also know that remains have been found, rather than that lingering ‘not knowing.’

And the liberals are more concerened about WHY he did it and maybe there was no love in his life, broken home, no father figure, a victim of being black and poor in America. Did I get this right?

I guess I missed seeing it that way and thought of it more as a descriptive comment. We’re so used to seeing really ugly comments about people anymore that we become immune to it - sadly.

If he told them where the body is, could they have plea bargained the death penalty away?

No I didn’t mean it as cruel. There was a discussion on the topic of her eyebrows on this board. They were shaped in an unusual way and some people felt it pegged her as a certain kind of woman.

I guess I missed the humor in the occasion. I’m a parent and I can’t imagine how catastrophic it would be if I lost one of my children this way.

Agree. I was referring to a previous thread discussing her brow grooming choices and what some people thought it represented.

Wow. No human feelings at all, huh? The “girl with funny eyebrows” was murdered. Most likely suffered greatly before dying too.

Feel like making a funny joke for her grieving parents too?

Did not mean it meanly, but I was thoughtless. Sorry. Was referring to a discussion about her eyebrow grooming and its meaning that was on a previous thread.

Sadly, once again, another young woman underestimated the perils in our society. Gee, I could take one look at this freak and know I could be in trouble, let alone get a drink with him. Prayers for her family.

I know. It's just that I hoped above hope that this young lady would be found safe somewhere and this discovery wiped that hope away. I have two lovely daughters and I can't imagine the horror of this kind of thing happening to them.

I guess I'm a bit thin-skinned.

He raped two other women that we know about.

Now he'll tell them where the other bodies are in an effort to spare his life and close some cold cases.
