I guess I'm just surprised that no one in that area took it upon themselves to check that property themselves. I can't imagine being in that situation and not going over to investigate.

I suppose the important thing is that she has now been found.

The neighbor did look a little bit, but felt uncomfortable so he called the police instead. Given the location (close to where JM grew up), I'd put this one on the police for not investigating earlier. Not the neighbors.

This is the DCUM way:

Learn of situation that will likely NEVER happen to you (e.g. Body buries in your property's backyard, being captures and beheaded by Isis), castigate those involved, detail all the ways the DCUM would have done everything right and been the superhero of the situation!

+1. All written in the most harsh and smug language imaginable.

+2 I was appalled by the posters who are criticizing the owner of this property and suggesting that it be taken by eminent domain. Really? I can only think that those posting are very young 20-somethings (or younger) with limited life experience.

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.

I lived in Charlottesville before moving to the DC area. 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.

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

Can they charge the property owners for something?

How can someone that owns property in that area close to his elementary school and high school and close the abduction site, NOT search their property. 5 weeks of this. Constantly on news channels. Thousands of people helping the search.

And some idiot owns so much property that they can't be bothered to search it.

Something does not seem right to me, that it can be that close, and that decomposed, that no one smelled it or did anything about it.
