S3 Episode 3 – Intertwined: The Story of Morgan Harrington and Hannah Graham

Listen to full episode :

In October of 2009, 20-year-old Morgan Harrington disappeared after attending a Metallica concert in Charlottesville. Months later, her remains were discovered in a remote field a few miles away. Fast forward to September 2014 and the story repeats itself with 18-year-old Hannah Graham who went missing after leaving a party. Her remains were found exactly five years and one day after Morgan’s disappearance. It wasn’t long before security footage revealed these two young women had something in common: the last person who saw them alive. Join us today as Briana goes through the details of these cases, how they connected, and how Hannah’s disappearance helped solve not only Morgan’s case, but another that had gone cold.
