The remains were discovered Oct. 18 in a heavily wooded area in rural Virginia where Hannah Graham, the 18-year-old University of Virginia student, disappeared more than a month ago.
A pair of dark, tight pants–like those Graham was wearing the night she disappeared–were found near the body.
“I don’t know how else to explain it. Something inside me just told me continue to look. I do believe God wanted us to find what we found,” said Dale Terry, Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Department.
Graham was last seen in the early morning hours of Sept. 13. Surveillance video captured her with 32-year-old Jesse Matthew Jr.
Police tracked him down in Texas and charged him with Graham’s abduction.
