There it is...expected and still so sad..

Just got the text alert from WDBJ7. Confirmed.

Awww .... her poor parents, the loss must be excruciating.

 

[tlcya]

At least the confirmation will end the debate about the remains belonging to AM or another unknown victim. Her family has the closure of knowing she will be returned to them so they can bury her and give her a dignified final resting spot of their own choosing. small comfort but it's something.

Wow, how sad to hear something we have long expected but now we have it in black and white. May she finally rest in peace! I guess this thread will cease to exist but it was really nice to lament over our frustrations with how long this was taking.

Statement from parents of #HannahGraham

So heartbreaking, but such a necessary statement. Hannah mattered

 

[ScarlettScarpetta]

I'm glad they found her. I'm so sad she is gone but I am glad they found her for her parents and to help them prosecute this animal.

 

[vthokies19]

No cause of death released.

Albermarle County Police: We remain committed to this investigation and will work to ensure that justice is served.

So sad, though we all felt this coming. May JM be locked away for the rest of his life and never be able to lay his hands on another innocent young woman ever again. Love to her family and friends.

 

[klily444]

I'm so grateful this investigation started with Longo. I can't say that enough.
