Don't you think this is extremely unlikely?If they had pants and underwear maybe that's where the intent charge came from..
Would he leave something like that in his car or house?
Plus, that is not enough to support a crime, is it?

Lol. So true. I feel like my opinion is swinging back and forth because of all these different interpretations. I would be an awful juror[emoji33]
To those who wish to convict Jesse Matthew based solely on the fact that he's been charged by the authorities..........I hope to never have you as a "jury of my peers".
It is a possibility. Inebriated persons have choked and aspirated on their own vomitus in the past.
Nope, I have no idea if she normally wore panties or not, or what kind she might have worn if she wore them. BUT, her pants are missing as well and searchers weren't asked to look for those!! Which leads me to believe that it's possible LE has possession of those pants. But I don't know that as a fact!!
The police cannot put out a warrant for his arrest if they do not believe he is responsible. That would be the end of all of their careers--LE, judge, etc--and set the city, state, FBI up for enormous lawsuits.
Supposedly COY BAREFOOT was to publish an article today about interviews he had with people who saw her at Tempo with Matthew.........he went on and on about it yesterday on his radio show to hype it but I still have not seen it. His show is on InsideC'ville at 4pm...............but as I said I have not seen this "article". Perhaps LE asked him not to publish???? I am confused. JMO.
But don't you think the Main Street area is an area freshmen frequent often?
How do we know the police briefed the searchers?
The charges only indicate what LE thinks happened. A lot of people have speculated that this is just a charge that they can later update, but who knows.
That, or he once dyed his dreads a lighter color a while back and his roots have since grown out. Dyeing and dip-dyeing dreads is very common. He may not have done that either. The ends of my sister's hair are a lot lighter than the roots even though she's never colored her hair. Oh and when dreads are tightened, gel is used and also makes the roots appear darker and texture smoother.

The charge is based on the specific code section below. I also have a strong hunch they have some hard evidence of a sexual assault.
§ 18.2-48. Abduction with intent to extort money or for immoral purpose.
Abduction (i) of any person with the intent to extort money or pecuniary benefit, (ii) of any person with intent to defile such person, (iii) of any child under sixteen years of age for the purpose of concubinage or prostitution, (iv) of any person for the purpose of prostitution, or (v) of any minor for the purpose of manufacturing child *advertiser censored* shall be punishable as a Class 2 felony. If the sentence imposed for a violation of (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) includes a term of confinement less than life imprisonment, the judge shall impose, in addition to any active sentence, a suspended sentence of no less than 40 years. This suspended sentence shall be suspended for the remainder of the defendant's life subject to revocation by the court.

At the very least he could say he has spoken with him.
So they can charge him with this without any evidence? Just what they "think" happened? I'm not being snarky, seriously questioning.
That tweet a few pages back about searching Hannah's home, is this first time they are doing this? I would think one of the things from the start would be to check her computer to see if there was indication of her meeting up with a person she met online, or anything else that might help. A diary, if girls even do that anymore?
Unless they were specifically told to search for OTHER pieces of clothing, it means nothing.It was in the media. Searchers had to preregister in order to search. There was a meeting on Friday before Saturday and Sunday searches. They were again briefed before each time they went out on a search of the do and don't, what to look for, what to do if they found something that might be part of the case, etc. Some posters from here were part of the searches as well.
Sure they can. The question is what is the basis for their belief. It might simply be video showing the two of them together for a period, and then they interpreted his nervousness at being interviewed subsequently as evidence of guilt. That is all they would need to get a warrant. Until we actually see something else, assuming that they have other evidence is a leap.
