Umm. No. I don't think it's too good to be true. If this turns out not to be Hannah, it's going to be a major set back beyond just a wrong ID, IMO. I think Longo has to be sure this is Hannah but is following protocol. Though I don't think the officer who found the body should have talked so much, I believe he did so without thinking and in the excitement of the find. I also do not think the info he gave was so damning. It's just that LE likes to keep these things as under wraps as possible. As someone who has seen a carcassed reduced to a skeleton very quickly when the carrion birds get to it, I can see that happening. In any case, an ID should be made shortly.
I see no reason to doubt that there was a forensic connection between the Hannah Graham case and MH's. That MH's parents are so involved in her case, is probably why this info was released. I'm sure the Harrningtons way of dealing with their daughter's case has made it difficult for LE who would likely want to keep a lot of what they release private. That's always an issue when family is heavily involved in these cases.
Most of the time, these cases are simple. Last person with the victim, husband, boyfriend are usually the perps. And so the stats show.
I also don't know how this will all play in court when the evidence has to meet certain standards. The forensic evidence has to be specified. The fact of the matter is that JM at the moment is charged with a bunch of driving and flight related charges, and the abduction charge. No rape, no murder. Until there is forensic evidence, that is unlikely to happen. Also, note that the DA is lying very low in this case. Don't know his name even. It's all Longo.
