Missing From UVA : Hannah Elizabeth Graham
Charlottesville, VA- Second year University of Virginia student Hannah Graham texted her friends last Saturday morning at approximately 1:20 AM- saying she was lost in the area of Wertland Street.
She has not been heard from since. According to Charlottesville Police Captain Gary Pleasants, it is believed Ms. Graham was intoxicated at the time of her disappearance and may have been on her way to a party but did not arrive.
In recently released images of Graham leaving her apartment at approximately 9:30PM Friday evening, she is shown wearing black skinny pants and a gold and black mesh crop-top, beige shoes or sneakers.
Ms. Graham’s disappearance is not related to a 2013 teen runaway from Indiana with the same name.
The disappearance of Ms. Graham comes on the heels of the recently adjudicated murder trial of Alexis Murphy , the disappearance on the same date as Ms. Graham in 2010 of Samantha Clark and of the course the unsolved murder of Morgan Harrington, who disappeared from John Paul Jones arena in October 2009 and later found murdered in January 2010 on Anchorage Farm in Albemarle County.
In Ms. Harrington’s case, the DNA profile and sketch of the suspect in her murder as well as a rape in Fairfax county in September 2005 was released, but he has not been identified by name or captured.
Harrington Murder Suspect Sketch
Ms. Murphy’s remains have never been recovered and Ms. Clark is still missing, also believed to also be a victim of Randy Allen Taylor, currently serving a life sentence for Murphy’s kidnapping and murder.
Hannah Graham is described as 5’11 tall, with light brown hair and blue eyes. Police are asking anyone with information regarding her disappearance to call the Charlottesville Police Department at 434-970-3280 or CrimeStoppers at 434-977-4000.

It seems strange to me that there have been a rash of unsolved missing persons cases in the last 5 years (all of them women) in the Charlottesville area. Has anyone ever considered the possibility that they are unsolved because the person committing the crimes is with LE? This would make sense as he would know the area and know how to cover his tracks, etc. He would also not be viewed as a threat to these women, rather someone who’s there to help. Would make it very easy for him. Perhaps LE should take a look at members who have joined in the last 5 years or so. Just a thought . . . prayers that she is found safe and alive.
Why would the white guy have not just caught up to her and asked if she needed his help in any way? Could he have been intentionally following, frightening her to force her into arms of AA man? Also, I wish there were more images of Sketch – maybe shaved head, glasses, narrower face from possible weight loss.

I have reviewed the first video a few times, and I see the AA male in what looks like kitchen “whites” pass first in the foreground, and then loops around in the same direction behind Hannah and the white male. Not sure if that means anything.
B
I am curious to know if the WM in the video came forward before or after the video was found/released.
CPD Chief Longo, in his press conference yesterday, indicated that Hannah did not seem to be running from anyone when she was detected by the surveillance camera at the Preston Shell Station. I have to believe that she was spooked by something. I’ve tried to run off a buzz before; maybe she was doing that. If she was running from someone, they likely backed off since it would have drawn too much attention during a relatively active time in a relatively well-traveled area. I have to believe, or at least wonder, if this same person was the one who made her feel comfortable after the man who was seen on video following her and who contacted LE to identiy himself. In the meantime, this guy needs some scrutiny, because there isn’t any other person shown interacting with Hannah other than him so far.
They are getting closer. My fingers are crossed and I’m sending loads of mojo in hopes of a positive outcome.
Got my answer, he came forward after it was released.
They do not her on video with the AA male. The white male following her said he saw an AA male come up to her and put his arm around her. He could be lying to cover for the fact the HE ducked into a doorway, waited for her to pass him, and then followed her. I hope they are following this man. What would it take to get a search warrant to search his car and home??
And when is LE going to do a much bigger search, allowing the community to help? She has been missing going on 6 days. We are so sick and fed up with young girls going missing in Charlottesville and there would be a huge amount of citizens willing to help search as soon as we are allowed. When is the CUE Center for missing persons going to be involved in the search? The Laura Recovery Center? It was weeks after Morgan went missing before the public was involved in the search. Why does so much time have to elapse before this occurs?
They really don’t have a perimeter established to begin outside of where she was last seen, unfortunately. From what I can see so far, their best lead is the man following her who says she ends up with an AA man or words to that effect. I have to believe he is being scrutinized heavily. Not understanding how she texts friends she is lost, I believe they knew she was intoxicated and nobody calls LE until Sunday.
B
The news this morning is exhausting, she was with a woman, she wasn’t it was just her reflection, man waiting to come forward that he followed her, AA male comes up to her and puts arm around her…How would she only have a reflection and not the man following her on the videos? They need to look into the AA male with dreads shown at bottom of video. She was seen on this video at 1:08am, 12 mins later the text that she was lost near her apartment. Where is the other footage for those 12 mins, there has to be more businesses hopefully.
The media there should be all over the ID of the man who was clearly following her.
B
It’s always hard to tell what’s in someone’s mind from those videos but it sure looks like she was walking through the mall with a purpose. There were plenty of people around to ask for help or directions and there would have been cabs also. Some of the people around would have been very non threatening appearing (couples etc). It’s hard to believe she wouldn’t know where she was anyway once on the actual mall, but she kept going further away from her apartment to the far end of the mall.
The video I posted earlier may not have been chronological. The shot showing the guy start to follow her, which I still think was weird, may have been before the shot where she seems to be walking with someone. Maybe that is the black guy he was talking about. I read that the white guy had phoned in his info before meeting with police.
I have no idea if this is connected to Morgan’s offender, however, it can be said if this was a crime of opportunity of this young woman it is not uncommon for criminals to use the same MO or tactics to engage a victim- and one would think *very aware* of camera placements.
I would like to know if he called in when they announced they would be releasing that footage, or if he called in that he saw her and that necessitated the retrieval of that footage.
B
Redly, I agree that at this point, the man’s story should be questioned. It’s often the case that an anonymous AA male is blamed. As you said, that’s what Nelson did in an effort to deflect attention and blame away from himself. And that mother who killed her children, Susan Smith, initially claimed that they were taken in a carjacking by an AA male.
The video of this white man following Hannah is VERY creepy. The last 10 seconds he definitely appears to be waiting for her in a somewhat concealed fashion, only to step out and follow her.
Praying for more video footage, more leads, and that Hannah is found.
——
Tiberious, “AA” stands for African American
I agree that the white guy’s actions are creepy. I think he was following her so he could approach her but then was interrupted by the second guy. That is why he gave up and left. And to answer someone’s question, I believe the gas station was closed as is the McDonalds on McIntire and most businesses in that corridor. The mall has open bars but of course Hannah could not go in. My take is that she was fast walking in what she thought was the right direction to go home but she was turned around. Many students are really not familiar with the downtown area but she would probably know that if she could get on the mall, that is main street which eventually takes you back to the corner if you head west. But she went east instead. Very sad to watch.
Are local LE the only ones to provide security around the downtown Mall area? Are private contractors hired either by individual businesses, the corporation or business group that owns/operates/governs the Mall district (if there is one), or local LE?
Could the man seen following her be a contracted security guard? Or be posing as one?
I believe Cville LE can contract off duty LEO’s for P/T security work, but each business can also hire their own security providers. That would include uniformed or plain clothes and bouncers. Does anyone know what restaurant she had dinner with her friends? I wonder if she did not circle back there thinking she left something behind?
B
skepticsleuth, can you specify which video you’re talking about where you see an AA man with dreadlocks at the bottom of the video? I’ve watched over and over but don’t see anyone I would ID as AA. Thanks!
about where Hannah may have been going heading east in the mall area with a purpose. I think she was going to the extreme east end of the mall where the bus stop is for the jolley trolly. That bus runs up water street to main and then to university ave toward her apt. area. At least that is what I recollect from the last time I took that bus about four years ago. I don’t know the time of the last bus, but I’m sure there is a schedule posted somewhere. There is a stop I believe near the west end of the mall but I am not certain. I think that some more video surveillance will be released today. Incidentally, the police station is at the bus stop area. If there are any locals with some better info about the bus, please weigh in.
Thanks Mike. Obviously it has been a long time since we worked on Morgan’s case and I am revisiting her files as we speak- but I agree you are probably correct.
B
I think the Tuel Jewelry footage shows that the AA man in culottes and dreads (who clearly circled around in front of Sals) caught up to her and it is him walking with her. That would mean that the White Man who stopped in a door way, waited for her, and then followed her — and continues following her as she talks/walks with the AA man in white culottes is lying that he stopped following her as soon as he saw her embraced by the AA man.
In the surveillance video where it looks like she is walking with a woman – I think that is the guy with dreads that looks like a female from far because of the hair. You can see long dark hair and white shorts like the dread guy is wearing.
It is creepy watching the guy post up, watch Hannah, and then follow her in a very casual way as to not draw attention to himself. It is also creepy how the guy with dreads is walking the opposite direction and then cuts to the other side and blends in behind the group of guys walking in the same direction as Hannah. I can’t help but think they, working together, were scouting out young women on both sides of the walkways and then got their prey. Then again, that’s what it appeared with the Vanessa Pham surveillance videos and it was not the case.
Could Hannah have been trafficked? Or
to LuckyBlackPearl: you can find this video on one of the posts on facebook Help find Hannah Graham. Somebody with a spanish sounding facebook name posted it. It may have come from nbc29 in c’ville
“Does anyone know what restaurant she had dinner with her friends?” B
Reports say she ate dinner on “The Corner” with friends…could be anywhere from Mellow Mushroom to Littlejohn’s Deli. There are probably up to 15 restaurants that could be in that description. A couple of them have bouncers in that area, one in particular, had security from a certain company we have mentioned before.
With you Jme.
Lastly, I am pretty sure she was looking for the CAT stop. 14th & Wertland.
Like the running thing- someone told her where to get a ride and what time the stop is.

‘Pleasants then said that the man in the video came to the police station, and said he had also left his story on the tip line.’
‘Police had planned to release this new video Thursday, but may not since the male came forward.’
’11: 50 p.m. Friday — Graham last seen by friends at Camden Plaza Apartments, in the 200 block of 14th Street NW.
12:45 a.m. Saturday — Graham seen on surveillance video outside of McGrady’s Pub on Grady Street.
12:55 a.m. Saturday — Graham seen on Shell station surveillance video on Preston Ave.
1 a.m. Saturday — Witness reports seeing Graham on Downtown Mall
1:06 a.m. Saturday — Video captures Graham in front of Sal’s, continuing to walk east along the mall.
1:08 a.m. Saturday — Graham seen in front of Tuel Jewelers.
1:20 a.m. Saturday — Graham sends a text to friends saying she was lost in the area around 14th and Wertland Streets.’
From this article it appears the man came forward before the video was released and he says he left the info on the tip line.
I’m no longer confident she was lost at all. She may have been going to meet someone at the mall all along. She took the wrong way on Grady initailly but figured it out when she hit mcgrady’s and then went the right way to make the mall. The chief said they had not heard from the person she may have talked to in front of mcgrady’s yet, but hopefully they will soon. It could be she was asking him which way to the mall. On the other hand, mike’s thought about her heading to the trolley also makes sense. It just doesn’t seem realistic to me that she could have been lost once she got to the mall. I don’t know what to make of the reported 1:20 text.
All just a guess of course. I do think LE is moving towards solving this.
Six days in – statistically speaking, the situation is exceedingly bleak. A quiet call might be in order for rural landowners to check their fence lines, creeks and culverts before the leaves fall and the grass falls over with the 1st freeze. Businesses should be on the lookout for discarded clothing in dumpsters and trash cans. I know that’s a tacit admission she is likely not coming back but quickly finding usable offender DNA and a recent undisturbed scene would be invaluable in helping to make a case against this animal. I hope I am proved wrong and that Hannah appears today.
I have read that was done- to what extent and to whom exactly, I do not know. Your entirely correct that the dumpster scene is critical, most especially if this might be connected to Morgan’s offender. In some way he would want LE to keep the trail in the opposite direction.
Worked for him before. I hope we are all wrong- my prayers are with the Graham family and friends of Hannah.
B
About Hannah running- For what it’s worth, when I worked late in a dangerous city I would often walk to my car alone and would be a little uneasy (so, so dumb & naive looking back but I was the only one who left at that time and was too stubborn to ask someone to walk me).
Many times when I would get to a dark area I would run or sprint to my car. Sometimes it was because I heard something and sometimes it was just because I was paranoid and wanted to get to my car QUICK.
It almost seems that Hannah was on a mission to get to that mall area. Maybe she was hoping to find some friends there to hang out with or find someone she knew to give her a ride back home Last call was coming up so maybe she wanted a night cap and wasn’t able to get into McGrady’s pub as she didn’t have a fake ID? I think back to college and if we couldn’t get into a bar bc of a bouncer we would bounce out of there and find another bar that would serve us.
I have watched several different videos several times. I tried to block out looking for Hannah and look at different things. The WM walks in first from the right side of the video so he is not following Hannah as how would he know she would come that direction yet still he stops, steps back and looks to be looking at something in his hand. Next another guy comes in and passes by and then Hannah walks by. WM steps out and follows Hannah. The group of people that enter next has dreadlock guy following relatively close and they follow WM who is following Hannah out.
How did WM know Hannah would come that direction? Yet his action are weird and if his states he was going to try and help her what took him so long to contact police (if he did or did police track him down)?
At this point I think MOO she was either looking for a ride, maybe someone playing games with her to find that ride, or she was on some kind of weird hunt.
LuckyBlackPearl here is the link, it’s the 3rd video with Parker Slaybaugh, about 1:06 into video and then again moments after, it’s as if he looks over and sees her and crossed to her side.
http://www.wric.com/story/26562114/police-new-video-shows-man-walking-behind-graham
And yes we really need to know where she had dinner with her friends.
And I am sure she is not alone in the video from the jewelry store and it sure looks to me like the same dreadlock guy from the restaurant…MOO
Sorry LBP, I submitted before I finished, but the AA at bottom at 1:07 is then shown behind the group that is behind the man following her. He clearly notices her though at 1:07, he doesn’t appear to be hanging with the group he’s shown with. I’m not accusing, I just think he should also be questioned since he’s the only AA male seen based on the other sketchy mans explanation.
I’m having a hard time believing the account of the guy who’s visibly following her.
If he was sincerely concerned for her, why didn’t he report seeing her IMMEDIATELY on Tuesday when her picture was headline news in Charlottesville?
He was following her to help her, and two days later when her face is in the news he’s no longer there to help?
Not believing it.

I have reviewed the first video a few times, and I see the AA male in what looks like kitchen “whites” pass first in the foreground, and then loops around in the same direction behind Hannah and the white male. Not sure if that means anything.
B
___________________________________________________
He does look like he may have looped around (pretty quickly) and is just behind the big group of people who are behind her in the initial video. He is wearing clothing that could be similar to the person who seems to be walking with her in the second video, though that is hard to see clearly. I assume LE will be able to identify him from the first video and would at least want to ask him what he saw that night.
Am I wrong? On the video taken from Sals restaurant it looks like Hannah is alone, then the man starts following her. The man appears to be wearing white shorts and ankle socks. On the video from Tuels jewelry, it looks to me like Hannah is in the company of another female with white pants. The man appearing to follow her/them has on long pants which appear to be blue. It also looks like the man has some sort of item on his left hip which could be a holster.
Frankly, I am not getting much from the Tuels video despite its better clarity. The police have already said that Hannah was by herself at this point and the apparent female companion was merely a reflection. However, it does appear clear to me that the man has on long pants and not white shorts. Anybody else seeing this?
They will be able to identify the guy with dreads from the first video. Some people will recognize him. He does cut across and get behind her. If it turns out he knows the white guy somehow . . .
I hope you are right Redly and the link between the two must be explored. The two are nearly lateral at one point when the W/M steps back out of the doorway. What are the chances?
B
I’m not seeing the trolley angle – it’s a long walk (but doable, obviously) from Grady east to the downtown mall. The university area is all the other direction from Grady, so she would’ve been going a long way out of her way in the opposite direction. Makes more sense that she was headed to the mall, or just honestly, got really turned around but continued to travel basically straight-arrow for a good distance.
Blink – Do you know identity of young man that was interviewed or his background? Does he have a criminal record or was his name ever mentioned in any way re Morgan Harrington’s case? I would think if in fact he were with the AA fella, it would be easier to identify a pair of friends – one black, one white. Also, like ATG, I was wondering if a drug had impaired Hannah.
Nothing confirmed, but for me, scanner traffic indicative of executed search warrants.
B
Blink, I am glad you are covering this. One thing both Morgan and Hannah have in common–extraordinary disorientation. Makes me wonder whether this is a coordinated effort between two predators. One who drugs and tracks and one who “rescues”.
The other is the need for transportation, and setting off on paths that seem incongruent- or if one buys into my theory that Morgan had secured a ride and turned around back to JPJ when that was not forthcoming. The first confirmed sexual assault by sketch- same thing- conversation about a ride outside of the convenience store and next she knows he is behind her.
I have been saying this for nearly 5 years now- this suspect (sketch) will have some mobile access or component to his work and I dare say, is the method by which the attack on Morgan and God forbid Hannah take place. I believe that 1000%.
B
The fallibility of relying on text messages as POL in a missing persons case is that one does not know with certainty who sent them.
Agreed Redrock- and given the sighting timeline now corroborated by video- my concern is that Hannah’s goal was to find a CAT stop- as we have not seen a quote of the actual text.

—
Yes I agree Blink-
If you notice in the first vid- (thanks Rose)
http://wtvr.com/2014/09/17/police-unknown-man-seen-walking-behind-missing-uva-student-hannah-graham/
the two women walk thru the fore ground- and seem to halt for a half a second to get around dreads- (it appears he is waiting there for something…the group to come up?) then he looks across the court yard and begins to walk he and the watch guy cross the area on opposite sides at the same moment- then he follows behind group to cont path…
the next vid Does show Hannah walking with a man or woman in long white shorts with white socks- the hair is dark and longish- could be dreads or not BUT iTS definitely NOT her reflection-
Dreads in the first vid seems to match up with this description long white shorts slightly dqrker shirt white socks and darker maybe tan tennis shoes…
By the looks of the video LE must find at least 15 people other than Watch guy
Those in first group- lady couple in foreground who moved around dreads- the lone man walking before hannah appears in first vid and the second video- first guy duo in foreground then at least two different groups and so on …
–
Blink- sigh I had not thought of Kickee… Remembering now, She put her arm around him and said “lets go”…heres another weird thought- that yours brought to my mind- Where have we seen or heard of “dreads” before? In Morgans Disappeared show remember the ticket taker?
—If such a horrible tragedy wasnt taking place right before our eyes (Poor Hannah may she be found safe soon) Id think someone was reenacting everything we thought we knew or saw or contemplated in Morgans case and was playing it on a loop
Before anyone asks no Im not saying Kickee is this guy- nor am I saying the actor was an accurate depiction of TTaker
Just pondering over the weirdness of the whole thing.
-
AJMO Peace
I believe the actual motion alleged was that she put her arm through his like a square dance move or vice versa- but not around.
B
correction
By the looks of the video LE must find at least 15 people other than Watch guy
should have read by the looks of video/s at least 15 people other than Dreads
Re
Mike yes Im seeing the other person Hannahs and UK strides do not match up perfectly you can see the flash or long white shorts and whit socks- etc- cant tell if it is “dreads” or even that it is a man or a woman-
still My fervent opinion is that Hannah IS NOT walking alone with her reflection in 2nd vid
ajmo
peace
I’ve found the video showing the AA male with dreads, thanks.
IMO, it really looks like the AA man and the white man are working in tandem. At 21 seconds in the video, you can see in the lower lefthand corner a shadow appear. You can see the shadow (and person) stop at the lower left corner of the courtyard for a few seconds, and then the AA male begins walking again at 25 seconds. This pause seems to be purposeful and not coincidental. If you notice, the AA man resumes his movement at the exact same time that the white man enters the courtyard via the corner located exactly opposite of the AA man. They start out at opposite corners/catty-corner from each other and move in a way that places Hannah between them. White man hides out, lets Hannah pass him as AA man catches up with her from behind, then white man steps back out and continues following them both.
After this, do they literally work together physically to abduct her? Or do they play off of one another– good/safe guy versus bad/scary guy in an effort to force her to accept the company of one of them– perhaps the one who *appears* less threatening— not realizing they’re working together?
I wonder how sure anyone is at this point that the text message actually came from Hannah herself. It seems odd that a text message would be sent and then the phone goes off the grid. Anyone who ended up “seeing” her or “checking” on her certainly had the capability to send a false message. I am sure the police however, have looked at the location the phone last pinged at, but that still doesn’t mean she sent it. Also, if the man seen in the video came forward prior to the video being released, couldn’t he still be covering his own tracks, or those of someone else if there had been an accomplice?
Morgan Harrington’s mom was just interviewed on Fox cable. She states that the area along 14th was very close to where Morgan’s shirt was found.
I am now wondering if the two guys in the security videos could have been working together. I have always thought that more than one person was responsible for the abduction of Morgan.
At this point, I think Hannah is deceased. LE needs to get the search parties organized to search the area including asking property owners in the nearby rural areas to check their fence lines and drainage structures.
There are so many areas along Hannah’s route that are not well lighted and contain vegetation that can conceal things. Charlottesville should think about doing a better job of lighting the areas near the mall and asking property owners to thin out some of the plants that provide concealment.
Police patrols cannot be everywhere, but I think it is time to reorganize the patrols around the mall and apartments near the UVA campus. Patrols should be extended in the hours from 10:00 PM till daylight on weekends with officers on foot, on bicycles and in autos.
If Hannah is actually 5’11″ barefoot, with heels on she would be over 6′ and would stand out wherever she went.
Just a little off topic. The recent video of the football player hitting his then girlfriend in the elevator should be used as a teaching tool to show young women what can happen with one punch from a strong male or one who knows how to hit.
http://www.newsplex.com/news/headlines/80632892.html
This is about the death of the UVA student that had a terrible tragedy happen to her when she was younger. I think she was studying law enforcement or something similar. She was found dying behind a McDonald’s in Zions Crossing where the police are now searching. There was at one time a statement made from Blink something like “How did you enjoy your Mcdonalds”. Excuse me Blink that I can not link but do you remember this.
I remember Ms. Fox’s case well. She had a history of drug problems, as did other young women associated with her- could never move her death past that particular horror.
B
Blink, is there a known time of death in the MH case? In other words did the coroner’s report give an indication of time of death related to time of disappearance?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmfLTWEuQEU#t=16 Look a this video at 7 seconds. You can clearly see BM with arms around Hannah in front of the white male.
I do not think any of the public transportation runs that late. I have never seen the trolley or a cat bus in the early morning hours. The garages close at 1:00 and you cannot get your car out—learned that the hard way. Things close earlier here than a bigger city. On another note, remember when she first appears at McGradys, she is coming from the east already and is heading west so she already was lost imo because the party locations were west of mcGradys so she had to have traveled through the nrighborhood on a less main road in order to first appear on camera coming from the east. The intersection at McGradys is a three way fork in the road. I think she got really confused there—she stumbles off the sidewalk and onto the grass. And then loops ending up back on the corner where she first appears. This area and the mall are not usual hangouts for uva students so it is very possible for her to be completely turned around at night and not even know it. Then along comes guy and asks her “hey where are you going?” In a friendly, flirty way. She says wertlamd, he says “you are going the wrong way, let me help you” and just like that, she is in the clutches of a bad guy. Just my local two cents from too many late nights in cville.
The have issued a description of a person of interest and it isn’t the guy with dreads.
Black male 5’10-5’11, 250-285 lbs goatee close shaved head, beer belly.
LE would certainly know if kickee and the white guy were one and the same. I think it is safe to say they are not.
Potentially agree- I was more referring to a multi-offender strategy or lure.
Serial offenders are pretty static with that overall.
B
WOW!!
