VA - Hannah Elizabeth Graham, 18, Charlottesville, 13 Sept 2014 - #3

[Biggles]

Anyone agree with this speculation? The bloodhounds lost her scent in the Water Street Parking Garage (indicating that she left in a car with someone). Survelliance videos of the parking garage were reviewed and vehicles that left the garage that evening with drivers/passengers fitting the descriptions of the POI were investigated. The car was traced to an owner residing in Hessian Apartments . . . . . yielding the need for search warrants.

To a point... because that garage closed at 1:00am on the night Hannah went missing. But that doesn't disallow a number of related possibilities, such as Hannah and the POI walking through that garage, and/or the POI's car being parked on a street adjacent to the garage. And then either a camera captured his license plate or a witness (as yet unreported) did so. That's really all it would take to get probable cause for a search warrant on the vehicle (and properties associated w/ the vehicle, i.e. the address on the vehicle registration.)

From Hawes Spencer's twitter:
#HannahGraham Chief Longo says that "descriptors" released yesterday led to vehicle parked here at 164 Hessian Hills Way.
@HawesSpencer

So sounds like someone recognized the POI description?

The water street garage closes at 1am so maybe this perp was parked outside of the garage on the street. I do recall mention that you can leave after hours with a credit card tho. So can anyone confirm this? Maybe it just closes at 1am for people entering not leaving?

That FB page is all over the place...as per usual.

Good point! I didn't realize that the garage closed at 1am on Friday night.

However, there IS street-parking and a lot, adjacent to the garage entrance. She could have gotten into a car from any of these areas.

The Water Street Garage has gates that come down at or around 1 am. You can't get in there...or out. I've learned the hard way.

The parking garage on Water St. is directly across from another paid parking lot. If the garage was closed after 1AM, perhaps video footage could still show those leaving the other lot. Just a thought.

I think he could be very tired. Exhausted even. He's doing an amazing job.

After this is over, we'll have to start a Parker fan club. LOL

Longo Fan Club FIRST! No offense Parker! or is it Parceur...lol

I believe you can leave the garage after closing hours (the gate will rise to let you out, if you have a valid ticket), but the entrance is closed . . . . you cannot bring a car into the garage, or take a ticket after closing hours.

I will say that Chief Longo is not only a really good cop, but an amazing person. Personal note...the guy is a BEAST in the gym. Whenever he's there, I just watch in amazement. :blushing:

Interesting thought, Bakerlady, and I do recall a local pointing out that the adjacent Water Street *parking lot* went 24 hours CC only as of the first of this month. But it sounds like you cannot leave the Water Street Parking Garage after it closes without the assistance of the garage personnel. Here is language from the Charlottesville Parking Center webpage:

"If your car is locked in either the Market Street Garage or Water Street Garage after hours, please proceed to the parking attendant booth near the front of the garage to find the appropriate number to call to retrieve your car. There will be a $100 charge if you request to have someone unlock the garage after hours. If you need to retrieve your car after hours, please call 434.295.4131. "

I'd rather see news released fast (even if it has typographical errors) . . . . . all the media and PD have got to be exhausted!

One of them is way out there but interesting

That is really weird!

Depending on the size, I wouldn't be shocked if it took all day. I also hope maybe they will find something of Morgan's..... Like maybe a necklace?

Morgan's case was one of the first I followed at WS. I remember that necklace. Swarovski with 3 chain links as I recall.

 

[steelman]

Does it sound as though the POI is on the run ??

 

[Saccas85]

Does anyone know what unit at 164 they are searching?
