Anyone know why they can't tell us for sure if it is her or not? Seems like with dental records, they would know that by now.

I actually wonder that too. Can't they test for both ID and his DNA on the body within a few days?

Well I think DNA takes longer but the dental records should've given a yes or no answer as to whether it is Graham or not.

And I read somewhere that people think the body is more decomposed than Graham would have been in 5 weeks.

I thought I heard on the news that the only way to get DNA from a skeleton is inside the bones - and that they only took the skull out of the stream bed for ID and left the other parts of the skeleton intact as they continue the investigation there. So - the dental records are the only way to ID the skull.

They were hoping to find DNA on the pants found nearby the skeleton.

If the woman had checked her property, like a decent human being, this would be resolved by now.

OMG WHAT is with the fascination with the old lady who didn't find the body? It's so irrelevant. Nice to know you're such a vigilante, though. Does your arm hurt from patting yourself on the back?

I can't remember the last time I was in my backyard. If there was something back there, it's been there since I don't know when. We really only use it in the summer when life slows down.

So we wouldn't be decent human beings I guess.

I lived it up and sometimes (often) engaged in drunken shenanigans when I was in college. Accepting rides, going places with people I didn't know but they were all other college kids. I don't see myself (or one of my college friends) accepting a ride from an older townie like JM UNLESS I had seen him around before (maybe at the hospital or walking to/from the hospital) and I let my guard down because I was intoxicated...or unless he had fed me a line about being a cab driver and showed me one of his old IDs. I also think it's a little odd that a second year student was lost in downtown Charlottesville. I wonder if it's possible that Hannah KNEW that she was drunk when she got turned away from the one bar and then decided to take a little jog/walk in an attempt to sober herself up a little bit so that she could continue to stay out partying. Maybe she knew that her friends would give her a hard time if she was too toasted and that they would insist on escorting her home. I'm just trying to imagine how she ended up doing what she did that night. How she crossed paths with that monster and willingly got into his car....

But, yes, I can see how I could have EASILY wound up the same way that Hannah did. JM was a predator on the hunt and Hannah was just such an easy, innocent and unsuspecting target. You can see it in the surveillance videos. Hannah has really struck a nerve with so many of us. Such a beautiful, cherished life gone forever.


I agree...can not ever imagine accepting ride from older townie either. I also can't imagine I would have been cool with aforementioned townie just coming up to me and putting his arm around me (no matter how drunk I was...one thing if it was hot college guy but now sketchy dreads dude -- yes, call me a racist, but that's what my 19 year old self would have thought). I wonder if she was just being "nice." That's what gets so many girls in trouble.

Was there a murder nearby, and did authorities make several public pleas for you to check for evidence so obviously needed? That woman is nothing but a lazy yahoo.

So, you are absolutely certain she didn’t check? You are absolutely certain that she is physically able to do so? You are absolutely certain that this woman did nothing?
"Decent human beings" do not make such statement without proof. Where is your proof?

What is the obsession with condemning this landowner? Finding the body earlier wouldn't have helped that person, whomever s/he may be.

Not Hannah, who has been dead since September 13.

What if it's not her but one of the other missing women, who could be victims of the monster?

There are 3 other neighbors that back up to this creek. Not just the one lady but 3 other families could not be bothered to look on the surrounding property. a couple of acres, not mountains, in late summer/fall weather. You know that if someone outside that region ventured on to that land for a night or 2, the local cops would have been called.

Morgan Harrington's mother, Gil, has never met Blaine Eichner. In fact, she never knew the name of the man who found her daughter's T-shirt. "It was pivotal," Harrington tells WTOP. "It was also concerning." The out-in-the-open discovery of her daughter's Pantera shirt is telling, in Harrington's mind. "To have blatantly taken the most obvious, identifiable item that law enforcement was asking for, and kind of draping it like a trophy displayed a certain type of bravado that was chilling to me," says Harrington. "It really seemed like a trophy presentation of a pretty serious predator," says Harrington.

I have a question - if the DNA from the Fairfax rape and the Harrington murder are a match, why hasn't Matthew been officially charged with the Harrington murder as well? I don't know what DNA evidence they found in the Harrington murder but if it wasn't semen could the defense be that she was just a passenger in his cab? Just wondering.
