There were reports early on that Hannah was very familiar with McGrady's as that is where her ski team frequently went, rather than the Corner. Also Hannah frequently went out running in the morning as per her twitter so a mile walk is nothing for an 18 yr old athlete. There was also mention (not sure if it was rumor or confirmed) that there was a frat party at McGrady's that night.
Thank you, I was not aware that she was a frequent at McGrady's. That does perhaps explain why she may have been comfortable with trying to enter that bar. However, it leaves a lot of questions as to why she would go there that night, but if there was indeed a frat party there, maybe?? I just know how long that walk is, and how it is in the opposite direction of the college bar/party area. If there was a frat organization at McGrady's that night, it would've probably been established and known to the police by now, and it probably wouldn't be something they would keep from the public. I understand that a mile long walk is nothing to an 18 year old athlete, but knowing that area, trust me - it is a very long, quiet walk that she took. Not a walk that would be amidst people, bars and parties. It would make sense if she was trying to get to McGrady's, but still, most people would take a cab from the Corner to McGrady's. If indeed there was a frat party there that night, I hope that rumor is confirmed, as it would make a lot more sense as to why she told her friends she was going to another party and ended up so very far from where the students hang out.
