Wanted: One Man and One Woman

Arrest warrant issued in case of missing Virginia student-- CNN.com

An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday, September 23, 2014 for a man suspected in the disappearance of Hannah Graham, a University of Virginia student who has been missing since September 13. This man, Jesse Matthew, is the last-known person to see or talk to Graham prior to her disappearance. Graham was last seen by friends at an apartment complex following a party, but was traced by surveillance tapes to a pub and then the Charlottesville downtown mall. Graham and Matthew supposedly had drinks at a bar before she is assumed to have gotten into his car which surveillance cameras show sped away. Although Matthew walked into the police station a few days ago, he could not be arrested because police did not have a warrant. He has not been seen since the warrant was issued today.

This event impacts Graham and Matthew and their families; with this news report, one family is hopeful of their daughter's return and one is scared for their son's arrest. However, other people who have seen either Matthew or Graham are also impacted because this article calls on them to give information to the police officers. This article also highlights the events leading up to this disappearance, and the places where Graham was before going missing. Inhabiters of this city and other young women who read this article can be informed of these happenings; hopefully, some good can be done by spreading this story to those who could be affected in the future.

This article saddened me by informing me of the missing Hannah Graham, but I found that it gave lots of information about her last known movements, which helps bystanders assist the police in piecing together the night she disappeared. It also made me very suspicious of Matthew, as he has not been seen since news of his arrest warrant. I will be following this case closely and praying for the best outcome-- the finding of a safe Hannah Graham.
