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

[2Hope4]

I'm the one that posted about this day or two ago. Any and all movement she made that nite is important She had to go somewhere in the 45 mins heading to mcgradys. 15 min walk max. Also time stamps can be collaborated and mistakes corrected if LE does it. They only say she traveled on foot. I think it could be important because it's a straight shot to downtown mall. One road it a ways. She wouldn't ended up on mall iost. It's was up steep hill halfway there. Darkest area. Much more lit areas if she would have went slightly different way she passed many bisinesses whether on foot or in car actually police station is on same street. On foot she could have crossed onto well lit all well before the area she walked to before doing so. Close to parking garage. Just thinking if time doesn't add up. Possible she caught ride. Maybe cars on video or her walking

She was spotted walking at 1st and Main Street I believe it what a witness said at 1am. So that would put her coming in on that end of the mall, versus where the map shows. I'll try to find the link to that statement. Some quotes only said downtown mall area at 1am, but one quoted the area.

(I hope this comment is ok, if not, mods please delete:

I gotta say, the screenshots posted on Parker's fb from AM's ask is TRIPPING ME OUT. Coincidence? Maybe, but my heart sure is beating faster! Dreads? Leggings? Pumping gas? It says "one year ago".. I really do think RAT's our guy, but geez, what if he really did have an accomplice? It really would be wonderful if this case also broke Alexis' case (and Morgan's, Samantha's, etc) wide open, and Alexis was found!)

Also interesting is somebody on the Parker's fb about an address and possible tip. I did a search of the address and the name Jessee and sure enough it is associated with JM and lists his phone number. She stated that he was a cab driver and creeped her out. Enough of a response to make her look back at his number and do a search. All she went off was that he looked the same and how he talked about being a massage student. Don't completely know the rules so don't know what I can post or the links that were found.

Tripping me out too... for real. 6 ft dreadhead? Hmm...

RAT pointed the finger at someone else, but I can't remember the details or description of who he was blaming. Does anyone else remember?

Yep. Guy with dreads. (I could be wrong, but I thought they tracked down this person, who maybe worked at Walmart? Had a "burgundy" car, iirc? eta: Maybe that was a rumor...its been a while, forgetting stuff...)

RAT's our guy, I'm pretty sure (AM's dna, phone, etc)... Just wondering now if some of his story was in fact based on some truth...

eta: it was "corn rows, but as Chipmunk mentioned in AM's thread just now, maybe RAT wasn't good at deciphering the difference)

Geez.. This case and all it's tidbits keep on getting more odd by the minute.

Hannah Graham disappearance: Virginia police charge man with abduction
Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., 32, charged with abduction with intent to defile"

 

[RSC]

Yep. I think the 2005 victim IDed him this weekend, then they had probable cause to get his dna, so went back to the house for his clothing. Now it is only a matter of time.

I don't want to believe this, but it seems at least probable.

The bolded above:
There it is....preparing the public for the possibility that the suspect is responsible for the attacks on other area women!

 

[margarita25]

Foxfire, anything stand out to you specifically about our suspect here in terms of him possibly committing other crimes? What about ideas on possible disposal, etc? TIA

Hoping the link is ok - assuming it is since you asked and you've posted a few times. http://www.facebook.com/ParkSlaybaugh His latest post - read ALL the comments.

Thank you!

VERY interesting! All speculation but interesting nevertheless.

 

[SuperTmo]

Yep. Guy with dreads. (I could be wrong, but I thought they tracked down this person, who maybe worked at Walmart? Had a "burgundy" car, iirc?)

But, if RAT offered to give up AM's body in exchange for a lesser sentence, then he was obviously in on it! RAT's our guy, I'm pretty sure. Just wondering now if some of his story was in fact based on some truth...

Interesting. No wonder those Ask screenshots are significant! Maybe JM has a part in that crime too. And then he looks just like that sketch from 2005. I hope this is the break LE needs to finally find the person who has been stealing women from that area. The community deserves some peace.

You guys have to take this discussion to the RAT/Alexis Murphy forum, just like the Morgan Harrington discussion has been directed to Morgan's thread.

This could still be a ruse. I have read that statistically, people who dispose of dead bodies almost always return to them. Either they have a compulsion to visit their "work" or a compulsion to move the body to find a better hiding place.

Thanks Bessie, will do! Sorry about that!! :wave:

I don't think we can post links to blogs, but I am hopeful that sharing this sort of info is okay...if not, sorry mods for extra work and snip away, if need be.

I came across a blog that I can best identify as The CTH and with a title of serial abductor? as the headline when doing a Google search a short while ago.

Most of the info there is not unlike comments and thoughts here...except for this.

A man on the blog said that he is very sure that he saw JM yesterday in Wilmington, NC (he mentioned, too, that it is a college town), that he was extremely polite and even held the door open for him. He said that he never forgets a face and it was (in his opinion) the same guy -- and that he was wearing khaki shorts.

His comments about the demeanor made me think of the landlady's comment about how he had been "extra nice" lately.

The man said that he called the tip line and that his wife was giving him heck for getting involved.

And, therein, lies the problem...in my opinion. Nobody wants to get involved, or those who do want to get involved are discouraged by family and friends.

Just think if all those people seen on the video where JM and WG first appeared got involved. Maybe the outcome would have been different.

Something else that is haunting me is a post that HG made on her twitter account on 8/29 -- "Got an alone drunk girl to a bus tonight #hoosgotyourback"

Sadly, nobody had Hannah's back that night. No wing woman. No involved person to help her to the bus. So very, very sad.

Praying for Hannah and her family.

 

[SuperTmo]

I wonder how probable it is that LE actually knows exactly where JM is but played their cards to make it appear that they don't so that they can hopefully catch him off guard and take him down over night. Perhaps they think he won't be expecting them and that it will be safer for the officers and agents involved. I hope!

 

[snarkymalarkey]

Foxfire, anything stand out to you specifically about our suspect here in terms of him possibly committing other crimes? What about ideas on possible disposal, etc? TIA

Being a cab driver, would give him lots of awareness and opportunity to visit abandoned and/or low key places, being in a hospital environment could potentially give him access to an incinerator or low traffic areas that are more in regards to facility maintenance/heating...even if was only to dispose of some small shred of evidence.

This could still be a ruse. I have read that statistically, people who dispose of dead bodies almost always return to them. Either they have a compulsion to visit their "work" or a compulsion to move the body to find a better hiding place.

That's why I was hoping that LE really knew all along where he was this weekend...and that they were waiting for him to do just that.
