As the investigation continues into missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, there is now new evidence in the investigation into the murder of Morgan Harrington, the Virginia Tech student who went missing in Charlottesville back in 2009.
The arrest last week of 32-year-old Jesse “LJ” Matthew of Charlottesville, on charges of abducting 18-year-old Hannah Graham, provided a new forensic link to the Harrington Case, according to the Virginia State Police.
In a news release, State Police say there’s still a great deal of work to be done, and the public’s patience is appreciated.
In Blacksburg, Harrington’s former professor at Virginia Tech, Jane Vance, says while this could represent future closure, the Help Save the Next Girlorganization she helped to start with Harrington's parents has no plans to stop in its effort to educate young women about safety and predatory danger.
The reward for information leading to Hannah Graham has grown to $100,000. If you have information email it to CPDTips@charlottesville.org. The phone number is 434-295-3851.
