Hannah Graham: Body Recovered, 18 Oct, 2014 **Awaiting Forensic Confirmation** #5

Yes...any TINY SHRED and we will JUMP!

I am just glad I'm not alone in this! My husband thinks I'm too obsessed.[emoji12]

Where do the black vultures roost? Any local ornithologists? Bird watchers?

Here's a site with information on black vultures in Virginia.

I believe they roost in tall trees or carved out areas of dead trees. I'm sure others with more knowledge than me can weigh in.

OT, but I went behind my office to look at a creek which is similar to where they are searching. There are so many leaves. I even hard time focusing on one spot because of the branches, tall grass, leaves, rocks. As a poster just said, these searchers are doing an amazing job. Clues are so hard to find in this sort of terrain.

Didn't we read that JM missed a ball practice the next morning? Plus Hannah wasn't reported missing for another day. Speculating he could have spent the day in the woods, leaving the next night by dark. Perhaps cleaning up in a stream.

So terribly sad. .

Missed the morning football meeting where he was assisting coaching according to the schools press release.

These pictures break my heart for some reason... So many dedicated people working so hard to figure out what happened. While he sits in jail not helping. So much work and so many hours these human beings put in all to try to help victims, families, and society... All to try to protect others and keep society safe from monstrous acts of violence. Bless them.

It is heart breaking in one way. But on the other hand, I think of the balance of numbers: one accused in jail but thousands who have worked for any good or justice that can be found at a time like this. I try to find hope in that.

Wonder what evidence has been shared. https://twitter.com/NBC29/status/524995704985767936

JUST IN: attorney for #JesseMatthew tells @HenryGraff prosecutors have shared some evidence they have in #HannahGraham case.

I wonder if they'll release it to the media...

latest tweet .......prosectors have shared evidence info with JM attorney in Hannah's case

I hope the evidence they are going to share is that that the remains are Hannah. That was hard to type.

I guess this was geared towards the non-Websleuthing community. :facepalm:

BBM, Not sure if I missed something, but this says "police sources confirm..." I thought we were still waiting on the ME report?

That was an unfair tease. There is nothing new at all in that story!

That was a let down. Is this the tip we have been waiting for at 3PM? Or is there more to come today?

Right? I kept reading, expecting some new information at any point. Definitely nothing new there.

 

[klily444]

The media seems to have backed off that statement since the 18th and are being much more conservative in their wording now.

 

[ksj3]

There is, though. This clearly indicates the DNA evidence tying JM to MH was found on the shirt, not on MH.

That might not be strong enough since the shirt was left out in public (but this is the wrong thread for that....).

 

[SweetT]

Not necessarily. Eventually they have to share everything. It's part of the rules of a fair trial.

In this case, I would guess it's most likely the official notice that the body was identified.

Exactly I wouldn't give the killer any more information than I absolutely had to and not until the absolute last minute either..

 

[Ghostwheel]

That was an unfair tease. There is nothing new at all in that story!

This story implies that there is a forensic link from that T-shirt to Hannah Graham case. Was that already known? BBM:
"The shirt. Morgan Harrington's mother calls it "pivotal" because authorities said it connected her daughter's death-- which in turn was forensically linked to the recent disappearance of Hannah Graham-- back to a 2005 rape in the city of Fairfax."

Or maybe this just says that Morgan's death was forensically linked to the recent disappearance of Hannah Graham. The wording could be better.

Eh. There have been conflicting stories about this for what seems like a long time. This would not be the first article that implies the shirt is the link <mod snip>

Again there has been so many conflicting stories that it's impossible to know which ones are true, but this is most definitely not the first source to say the link is the shirt.

Here's one from a few days ago:
