[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why couldn't this woman have searched her property, as the authorities had asked and emphasized; likely knowing that there are several "abandoned" properties or reason to believe property owners should be helping?

Are citizens of the Charlottesville area really so dense, as to not see the importance, or care enough, to help others?

Is this some sort of backwood, hillbilly, feigning ignorance (rather poorly) mentality?

I don't mean to compare, but at least in the Boston Marathon case, we saw the public do what they were told, and help out; which is what led to the capture of the criminals.

This property owner is only 74 years old.  Certainly she was capable of either searching her property, or helping out in some way - any way.

What the hell is wrong with people?  How would she feel if it were her daughter?  Would she even notice she was gone? Wow.  [/quote]

I lived in Charlottesville before moving to the DC area.  [b]It is not as densely populated as Boston and the surrounding area (even just a few miles away from downtown) is hilly, heavily wooded and there's plenty of land that no one lives on.

My understanding is that thousands of volunteers have helped with this search.  I found Charlottesville to be a warm, friendly community and I know many friends who feel devastated by this news without knowing Hannah Graham personally.  This is an absolutely awful situation and I don't think accusing people of being ignorant hillbillies is helpful to anyone.[/quote][/b]

+1 Well stated! Plus, I can't imagine most women aged 74 being able to search that type of landscape thoroughly.[/quote]

+2 I looked at that property on Zillow. Dense forest cover. Charlottesville is in the mountains and likely that streambed is rough and down a ravine. If it weren't for the buzzards (awful!) no one would have searched there... Even the neighbor was not willing to walk down there alone. We have a stream bed in our yard ... you can't even walk in it... so easy to break an ankle...and we do not live in the mountains.[/quote]
