Remains Confirmed to be those of Hannah Graham
Snip:
The remains found Saturday were identified (as those of Hannah Graham) after a review by the Virginia Medical Examiner's office. After the discovery, police called off searches for Graham and re-classified the case a death investigation.
In a statement, Graham's parents thanked Charlottesville police chief Timothy Longo, along with those who participated in the searches and provided them support.
"When we first met Chief Longo he promised to find our precious daughter, Hannah, and during five long weeks his resolve to fulfill that promise never wavered," wrote Hannah's parent John and Sue Graham, in a statement. "When we started this journey together we all hoped for a happier ending. Sadly that was not to be, but due to the tenacity and determination of Chief Longo, Hannah is coming home to us and we will be eternally grateful to him for this."
Graham's parents said they were "devastated" by their daughter's loss.
"Put simply, Hannah lit up our lives, the lives of our family and the lives of her friends and others who knew her. Although we have lost our precious Hannah, the light she radiated can never be extinguished."

Hannah's parents are class acts. Chief Longo struck me as being personally invested and very determined to keep his promise to the Grahams -- I'm glad they can at least bury their daughter.
Matthews hasn't been charged with Hannah's murder yet. There are serious other charges pending against him that will keep him caged for a good long time while investigators get all their ducks in a row to file murder charges for Hannah and Morgan Harrington (and maybe more).
