She chose to drink it

Still illegal to provide alcohol to a minor. And it's possible that someone could have slipped something else into her drink.

Omg. A minor was drinking alcohol?! Call the cops!

Did you see the grief on her parents' faces and hear the grief in her dad's voice as they shared their fears? I'm sure they wish someone had cared enough to not serve alcohol to their minor daughter.

You clearly don't have a child in college and maybe you never went to college yourself.

The girl was an adult. Not old enough to drink, but legally an adult. Unless something was slipped into her drink, she seemed to willingly consume alcohol that night. Just as many, many people do every day who are not yet old enough to drink. It's unfair to blame someone else for buying her drinks, particularly if she lied about her age (not saying she did - but that it's very common).

Now, if foul play is suspected in her disappearance, that's something else entirely. Just because something may have happened to her, doesn't mean it's ok because she was drinking. They're tangential issues, I think, but not really related. But she chose to drink, and I think it's unfair to pin that on anyone else.

Actually the law is that you can NOT provide alcohol to somebody under the age of 21. So they could charge the bar/person/store that gave her alcohol. It happens all the time. In Potomac, MD they just say ... add it to my tab... the $2500 fine that is.

Everything and everyone she was with that night should be investigated- if the cops didn't look into her early evening activities with the ski/snowboard team, they wouldn't be doing their due diligence.

Wrong on both counts. I understand about college, drinking, etc. but it doesn't make it right for those who could intervene (friends, bartender, etc) to look away. I'll say again that I'm sure her parents wish someone had cared enough to not serve her more alcohol when she seemed to have already had too much.

My gut (which I know is anecdotal and doesn't mean anything) is that JM isn't responsible for Hannah's disappearance. I think the police are under public pressure to have to have some direction, particularly given the history of missing girls in the area. JM was no gentleman for buying a drunk girl drinks, but I think people may be getting tunnel vision focusing on this guy, and miss other clues.

The police have to keep an eye on this guy and keep tabs on his whereabouts until forensics come back. If he's innocent, forensics should help to clear him. If forensics does find something they will need to address that.

Easy to keep tabs on him if they put him in jail on the driving charges. And if he is out on bail, he can't just leave the area like he could if there weren't any charges against him. Wonder if he is a flight risk--at the press conference, the officer said that people everwhere including outside the US should be on the lookout for him.

Seems like an impulsive and dumb guy.

I tend to agree.

I agree. It seems too easy. Last person she was with did it ... Maybe she overdosed on alcohol and he panicked.

I would think the responsibility would lie 100 percent on the restaurant. They should've carted her.

I will keep saying this till I'm blue in the face: check Wertland and 14th! Two sexual assaults there shortly after she went missing -- the very spot where she said that she was lost! What's to say this wasn't some gang hanging out on the train tracks late at night?

I just wish JM would calm down and let authorities talk to him!

Yeah, often it was the last person the victim was sen here. She was with him and then she didn't come home. Seems like a strong reason to suspect him. The high speed chase doesn't help. I think everyone is being suckered by the fact that his mother and grandmother love him. Lots of bad people in the world with loving family.

Is there a hotline? Seriously think you should call to suggest this (as I doubt the cops read DCUM). Maybe they're already looking into this, but it wouldn't hurt to check.

Sadly, I keep clicking hoping for good news.

They themselves told the community about the two assaults. That's how I heard about them. Did they make the connection? I don't know, but it would be GREAT for them to explain to the public why they are not taking her last text seriously and focusing 100 percent on JM.
