  • Hannah Graham Missing: Parents Beg For Help

    University of Virginia student Hannah Graham is still missing and her parents are desperately searching for more information to lead them to her whereabouts.

    Despite an arrest in the case and thousands of tips pouring in, her parents issued a new statement, pleading for any critical information that could bring their 18-year-old daughter back.

    “Somebody listening to me today either knows where Hannah is, or knows someone who has that information,” Sue Graham, Hannah’s mother, said. “We appeal to you to come forward and tell us where Hannah can be found.”

    “Please, please, please help end this nightmare for all of us,” she added. “Please help us to bring Hannah home.”

    Graham was last seen in an area of Charlottesville known as the Downtown Mall on September 13. Since then, her friends and family members have remained hopeful that she would be found. A $100,000 reward is being offered for her to be returned home safely.

    On September 24, authorities in Texas arrested a suspect in the disappearance of Hannah. 32-year-old Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr. was extradited to Virginia and is being held in jail. He is believed to be the last person who was with Graham before she disappeared and is being charged with abduction with intent to defile. According to eye-witnesses, the pair were last seen entering a restaurant in Charlottesville called Tempo, and later left the bar together.

    Mathew has also been forensically linked to the disappearance and murder of 20-year-old Morgan Harrington, a Virginia Tech student who went missing in 2009 after a Metallica concert at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville. Matthew was working as a cab driver on the night Harrington went missing.

  • Metallica Helps FBI Search for Virginia Killer

    Metallica helps the FBI in their quest to locate a Virginia killer, according to the Associated Press. The band recently released a public service announcement, asking their legion of fans to come forward with any information they may have regarding the murder of Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington. The woman was last seen at a 2009 Metallica show in Charlottesville, Virginia. Her remains were later discovered at on a farm about ten miles from the venue.

    “Remember, any information no matter how small you might think it is — could be that crucial piece investigators need to help solve the case,” James Hetfield says in the video.

    In addition to the PSA, the FBI has released a composite sketch of the suspect, which has been plastered across the East Coast. The unidentified individual in the sketch is also a suspect in a 2005 sexual assault if Fairfax City, Virginia, which is roughly two hours away from where Harrington’s body was discovered.

    Presently, the FBI and FBI and Virginia State Police have very few leads in the case, though they’re hoping the composite, as well as Metallica’s contribution, will help authorities with their investigation. Additionally, Morgan Harrington’s parents and Metallica are offering a $150,000 reward for information that ultimately results in an arrest.
