Police Say They’ve Positively ID’d Body As Hannah Graham, Missing UVA College Student

32-year-old Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., left, has been charged with abduction with intent to defile Hannah Graham, right-top, whose body police now say they’ve found.

DEVELOPING: – Police have confirmed that remains found in a rural Virginia area have been identified as those of missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham.

The Medical Examiner’s Office in Richmond said the remains that were discovered on Oct. 18 approximately 12 miles from the UVA campus were those of Graham. She vanished from central Charlottesville on Sept. 13 after a night out with friends, and was last seen with 32-year-old Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr.

Matthew has been charged with abduction with intent to defile Graham. And now the evidence against him is mounting.

The remains were discovered roughly six miles from where the body of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington was found after she vanished in 2009. Police have said forensic evidence connects Matthew to Harrington’s killing, which in turn is linked by DNA to a 2005 sexual assault in northern Virginia.

Matthew has also been charged in the 2005 case.
