A special episode from Meg & Amy's other podcast, Campus Killings while Meg & Amy take some time off for the holidays. In this episode, we explore the 2014 disappearance and murder of Hannah Graham; an 18 year old student at University of Virginia. She vanished on September 13 of that year. A large scale search for her was conducted, which to this day, is still the largest missing persons search conducted in the state of VA. Unfortunately, nothing was found. Then, five weeks after she vanished, her body was found on an abandoned property. She had been murdered. Police had a potential suspect early on; an unknown man who was captured on surveillance cameras leaving a bar with Hannah. He was finally identified as Jesse Matthew, and when police investigated him, they discovered that he was a serial predator.
