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.

Prayers for Hannah.

A separate comment, not meant to be disrespectful: How do ride services like Uber screen to minimize the likelihood of events like this?

This is the girl with the funny eyebrows.

[NormsRevenge]

Damn. Virginny still zaps serial killers, I hope.

Poor Baby-my heart breaks for her family.How many others did he kill.

[Chainmail]

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?

[Dog]

Serial killer....they need to search that area really good...that is his dumping ground.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Horrible but not unexpected..this monster also murdered Morgan Harrington, both found in the same general area(About 5 miles apart) at least now the Graham family knows what happened to their precious daughter..RIP Hannah

Remember...... terry the corrupt Clinton minion is governor. Unless there is money in it he will not sign a death warrant

[potlatch]

This is heartbreaking each time it happens. I have ‘five’ granddaughters within the ‘college age’ group and always worry about them. Prayers for Hannah’s family.

There goes another rap star aspirant.

[potlatch]

I don’t think she meant it in a bad way Chainmail. Just like we mention Wendy Davis with a large ‘mole’ on her face.

[dfwgator]

So much for the “only Whites are serial killers’ meme.

[Chainmail]

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.

I will remember her and pray for her parents.

I lived on Old Lynchburg road in ‘90..

[When do we get liberated?]

VA isn’t quick to kill, but they do and in this case not many would argue.

[potlatch]

I understand. I lost my oldest daughter two years ago this month to illness and can’t even imagine how much worse it would be to know they were tortured or murdered by someone. The death of ones child is the worst loss to bear.
