The body of missing Virginia college student Hannah Graham has been discovered and identified, according to breaking news reports. She was only 18. Hannah Graham Search: Human Remains Found A landscaper was heading to a job site outside of Charlottesville, Va., actually called the police tip line September 30 when he made a startling discovery. “There was buzzards on the rooftop, as well as on a tree on the back left corner of the property,” Bobby Pugh said. “Not a normal amount, 20 to 30 at least.” About an hour later, Pugh made a phone call, as did hundreds if not thousands of others calling in with any shred of intel that could help law enforcement. Hannah Graham was last seen September 13, on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall. Jesse Matthew Jr. has been charged with the college student’s abduction. Nearly three weeks after Pugh’s call, volunteers from Chesterfield searching for Graham discovered human remains near an abandoned property. The site was right around where the landscaper had spotted the birds . “I wish it could have happened faster, but it couldn’t,” lamented Pugh. “They were getting 200-300 tips a day, my tip couldn’t be the one on the top.” Regardless, Pugh is heartbroken by what happened to Graham. “That’s not the way anyone should be left,” Pugh said. The state medical examiner’s office in Richmond conducted forensic tests on the remains to identify them, and reportedly did so just moments ago. Matthew is being held on charges of abducting her with the intent to defile, and was charged Monday with attempted murder, abduction and sexual assault in a 2005 case.
