Hannah Elizabeth Graham (February 25, 1996 – c. September 13, 2014) was an 18-year-old second-year student at the University of Virginia who disappeared during the early morning hours of Saturday, September 13, 2014, after last being seen on the Downtown Mall. The following Thursday, thousands of members of the University and local communities gathered in the McIntire Amphitheater for a “Bring Hannah Home” candlelight vigil.[1]

On September 23rd, police charged a Charlottesville man with Graham’s abduction. Weeks later, on October 18th, a search team discovered Graham’s remains on an abandoned property in Albemarle County. In October 2015, Jesse Leroy "LJ" Matthew Jr. pleaded guilty to murdering Graham and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Mathew was also found guilty and given three additional life sentences for other, previous crimes.
