This post is similar to some previous posts but with more information about the case of Hannah Truelove, a 16 year old female that was murdered near the Lake Lanier Apartments in Gainesville, GA. Prior to her murder, Hannah was seen in her apartment complex up until 7:30 pm on August 23, 2012. Some witnesses say that they saw her hanging around a manhole drain with some other teenagers. The next day, her body was found in a wooded area behind her apartments. She had been stabbed to death. Much of this information is easily accessible on the internet, youtube, and through her FB and Twitter pages. One working theory that the GBI and Police have is the Hannah knew her attacker and voluntarily went into the woods with him/her, due to no signs of a struggle.
Based on information taken from her Twitter account, many thought that Hannah had a stalker and this was the person who killed her. This information was proven false by Police and GBI and chalked up to teenage drama. I have looked over the same Twitter posts and agree with them. Even though they have not put out their own theories, I believe that in the week leading up to her death, Hannah was having trouble with a boyfriend along with trouble from an unknown female. Through her tweets she randomly posts about messing up the relationship and wanting someone back and it appears that she is trying to post so someone can see that she misses them. She then has a few posts where she is responding to some drama from a female that may have been trying to steal her prior boyfriend.
Shortly after all this, Hannah begins posting that she is scared and that she can't do something by herself and that her "tummy hurts". She then posts that she is getting a little tummy. These posts make me believe that she found out she was pregnant or at least wanted someone that was looking at her tweets, to believe she was pregnant. My working theory is that whoever killed Hannah:
1): Knew her
2): Met her at the Apartments on August 23rd.
3): Hannah went into the woods with this same person because she trusted them.
4): Hannah was murdered because she was pregnant or the killer believed she was pregnant.
Without seeing the actual police and GBI reports none of this has been confirmed but just based on her actions the week prior is makes sense. I would also be very interested in seeing the autopsy report to see where all the stab marks where. Many times a killer with stab a pregnant woman in the stomach and this may have been the case with Hannah too. The GBI has stated that they have suspects in the case and that they are working leads but it has been almost 6 years since the murder. Someone knows something and needs to come forward with their information. Anyone can reach out to me with information as I am actively investigating the case from the private sector.
 
Was there a trail in the woods that led to another apartment complex? Or, she might have gone into the woods to smoke pot with a friend. When I was that age we used to go into the woods to drink.
 
From the information that I read, the area behind her apartments led down to the lake. Not sure about any trail but I DO believe that she willingly went into the woods with someone she trusted. She was possibly with a boyfriend that may have murdered her because she was (or thought she was) pregnant...or a girl that was jealous. She had a recent spat on Twitter with an unknown female who may have been upset that Hannah was dating a certain guy. Without the police and GBI records it is hard to say or prove any of this but based on the information I have found, it seems the likely answer. Some of her friends are associated with the Gangster Disciples also which is a very well known street gang so it could have also been a initiation killing for a new member.
 
Silentghost963--I have been following and gathering info on this case for about 5 years now. Most of the information is the same as I have gotten over the past years. The "boyfriend" angle is pretty accurate. There was a love triangle going on between Hannah, a boy (withholding name, but can be easily figured out), and one of Hannah's close friends (withholding her name, but again, can be also easily figured out). I have actually had an online conversations with some of her friends to verify these rumors; including the "close friend" that was involved in the triangle that verified that. I believe this is a case that the police already know who was involved, but because of evidence being lost due heavy rains, little can be done. This is a solvable case, but it may come down to having to have someone confess. If you would like to talk more about the case let me know. I have a 5 inch binder on all the research I have done. Let me know if you have any questions. We can do info swap if you'd like.

"A teenage girl is murdered just yards from her home in woods on the bank of Lake Lanier. A heavy rainstorm washes away much of the evidence and leaves investigators on a search for clues in this cold case. Producer: Becky Kellogg; Reporter: Vinnie Politan; Photograph: Pete Smith."
 
I sent an email to the original poster. I had a question about a boy who followed Hannah about a month exactly before and stopped tweeting on about 8/19/12. He had made the account in June 2012.

I only noticed because for my work I use Twitter a lot and have had stalkers and the posts about creepy people only started a day or two after that.

Why describe her as "at risk" but then refuse to say more?

Hi,
I am new here and am very interested in this case.
I know it remains unsolved , I know her father very well. AND know he needs a resolution on this.
I knew Hanna as a young girl.
Would you have any advise on how to get this case active again. Or can you point me in a direction.
Thank you for your time.
 
Bumping with this 2012 comment from article. rbbm
Wondering if anyone similar to HT has since gone missing? Stalkers do not give up imo, speculation.

Cold case Hanna Truelove.


Thank you all who are responding to
my inquiry about this case. It took a long time to find this case in the websleuths cold case list. Now it as on the first page of the list. Wow, I am impressed.
Reading through the latest from the news, I found that the same Hall County Deputy has had this case on his desk from the start until now , see proof below.

My thoughts are that maybe a cold case unit could take the case with fresh eyes and new angles. Perhaps come up with some new leads.
I would like any feedback and or advice on how to proceed.
Thanks
