of unsteady on her feet. 593 00:33:15,411 --> 00:33:19,711 And then you see him loop around, 594 00:33:19,811 --> 00:33:24,446 come behind Hannah Graham, and then, all of a sudden, 595 00:33:24,546 --> 00:33:28,114 you see him put his arm around her, 596 00:33:28,214 --> 00:33:31,313 almost as if he knows her. 597 00:33:31,314 --> 00:33:32,915 But he doesn't. 598 00:33:33,015 --> 00:33:35,215 Augenstein: He puts his arm around Hannah, 599 00:33:35,315 --> 00:33:37,415 and she's continuing to walk. 600 00:33:37,416 --> 00:33:39,814 She doesn't push him off. 601 00:33:39,815 --> 00:33:41,815 And another passerby notices it 602 00:33:41,816 --> 00:33:43,715 and realizes something's not right. 603 00:33:43,716 --> 00:33:47,951 So, she walks up and says, "You don't even know her." 604 00:33:48,018 --> 00:33:51,818 And he looks at this individual and says, "Hush." 605 00:33:52,752 --> 00:33:56,020 In that moment, so many people knew something wasn't right. 606 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,820 Bryan-Campos: So, we know from surveillance video 607 00:33:59,921 --> 00:34:01,619 and witness accounts 608 00:34:01,620 --> 00:34:06,321 that after this man strikes up a conversation with Hannah, 609 00:34:06,322 --> 00:34:11,223 they go into a bar, where they order two drinks. 610 00:34:12,324 --> 00:34:15,257 French: The person that had confronted this man 611 00:34:15,324 --> 00:34:20,658 follows him in there with a friend and is watching him. 612 00:34:20,724 --> 00:34:23,824 Augenstein: At one point, they get ready to leave, 613 00:34:23,825 --> 00:34:25,560 this guy and Hannah, 614 00:34:25,626 --> 00:34:28,526 and one of the women who had had one of these run-ins 615 00:34:28,527 --> 00:34:30,561 with the guy earlier says, 616 00:34:30,627 --> 00:34:34,128 "He is gonna [bleep] her up tonight." 617 00:34:34,229 --> 00:34:37,228 French: At the very end of the night, 618 00:34:37,229 --> 00:34:43,230 the last person that would see Hannah Graham witnesses her 619 00:34:43,231 --> 00:34:47,932 next to this individual's car and hears her say... 620 00:34:48,032 --> 00:34:50,065 "I'm not getting in that with you. 621 00:34:50,132 --> 00:34:53,032 What is it, stolen?" 622 00:34:53,033 --> 00:34:55,933 Hannah does get into the car. 623 00:34:57,667 --> 00:35:01,168 The guy across the street, who heard this exchange, 624 00:35:01,235 --> 00:35:03,368 he drives by a few minutes later, 625 00:35:03,435 --> 00:35:07,069 and Hannah and this guy and his car are gone. 626 00:35:07,835 --> 00:35:11,437 This is the last time anyone sees Hannah Graham alive. 627 00:35:11,537 --> 00:35:17,038 ♪♪ 628 00:35:19,071 --> 00:35:20,637 Stuart: Within a couple of days, 629 00:35:20,638 --> 00:35:23,738 because of those videos and witness accounts, 630 00:35:23,739 --> 00:35:26,838 they have developed a person of interest. 631 00:35:26,839 --> 00:35:29,740 Charlottesville police have now identified a person of interest 632 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,308 in the Hannah Graham case. 633 00:35:32,175 --> 00:35:37,741 So, that person isn't in custody, but we know who he is. 634 00:35:37,742 --> 00:35:39,576 Others know who he is. 635 00:35:39,642 --> 00:35:44,144 At the point in time the evidence began to mount 636 00:35:44,244 --> 00:35:46,444 against a particular suspect, 637 00:35:46,445 --> 00:35:50,245 time was of the essence either to find Hannah 638 00:35:50,313 --> 00:35:51,779 and bring her home alive 639 00:35:51,845 --> 00:35:55,447 or find the evidence sufficient to sustain a prosecution. 640 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,745 The last person seen with missing University of Virginia 641 00:35:58,746 --> 00:36:01,947 student Hannah Graham is wanted by police this morning 642 00:36:01,948 --> 00:36:03,847 on unrelated charges. 643 00:36:03,949 --> 00:36:05,647 A week after Hannah's disappearance, 644 00:36:05,648 --> 00:36:07,948 police would identify the person of interest 645 00:36:07,949 --> 00:36:10,349 as Jesse Matthew Jr. 646 00:36:10,350 --> 00:36:14,050 Longo: The video evidence certainly was the mechanism 647 00:36:14,051 --> 00:36:16,585 by which his identity surfaced. 648 00:36:16,651 --> 00:36:18,750 Very early on, as I recall, 649 00:36:18,751 --> 00:36:20,585 there was a member of our department 650 00:36:20,651 --> 00:36:25,686 who knew of him from high school and recognized him. 651 00:36:25,752 --> 00:36:30,954 So, we knew pretty early on that the person in the image 652 00:36:30,955 --> 00:36:32,588 was Jesse LeRoy Matthew. 653 00:36:32,654 --> 00:36:36,056 In fact, I believe that Jesse Matthew 654 00:36:36,156 --> 00:36:37,689 was the last person she was seen with 655 00:36:37,755 --> 00:36:40,490 before she vanished off the face of the earth. 656 00:36:43,057 --> 00:36:44,691 People would say later to me, 657 00:36:44,757 --> 00:36:47,258 "Longo, I really thought you got the wrong guy. 658 00:36:47,358 --> 00:36:49,159 This is not this guy. 659 00:36:49,259 --> 00:36:51,459 This guy is a big teddy bear. 660 00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:56,460 He's fun. He's gregarious. He's social. He's lovable. 661 00:36:56,461 --> 00:36:58,261 He's not this guy." 662 00:36:58,328 --> 00:37:00,694 But, yeah, he is. 663 00:37:00,761 --> 00:37:02,562 Yeah, he is. 664 00:37:05,761 --> 00:37:11,463 Jesse's dad describes him as a gentle giant. 665 00:37:11,464 --> 00:37:19,464 Jesse is extremely tall, built, thick man. 666 00:37:19,465 --> 00:37:22,365 He is a very large man. 667 00:37:22,366 --> 00:37:25,367 He towers over most women. 668 00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:29,867 Augenstein: It depends who you ask who Jesse Matthew Jr. is. 669 00:37:29,968 --> 00:37:34,068 Some people refer to him as a big puppy dog, 670 00:37:34,069 --> 00:37:40,503 a very friendly, sort of goofy kid who was athletic. 671 00:37:40,603 --> 00:37:43,371 He was offered the chance to go to college, 672 00:37:43,471 --> 00:37:47,472 and he was a standout football player. 673 00:37:47,572 --> 00:37:53,273 And Jesse Matthew took his athleticism skills 674 00:37:53,340 --> 00:37:56,672 to Liberty University. 675 00:37:56,673 --> 00:37:59,573 Stuart: Students at Liberty would likely be more sheltered, 676 00:37:59,574 --> 00:38:01,375 perhaps, than at other schools. 677 00:38:01,475 --> 00:38:03,975 It is a Christian university. 678 00:38:03,976 --> 00:38:07,509 They have a code of conduct for students. 679 00:38:07,609 --> 00:38:10,576 Jesse Matthew may have started at Liberty University, 680 00:38:10,577 --> 00:38:12,378 but he did not stay there long, 681 00:38:12,477 --> 00:38:18,178 because he would be accused of sexually assaulting someone. 682 00:38:18,279 --> 00:38:19,912 He was never charged, 683 00:38:19,979 --> 00:38:23,913 because I don't think the young lady wanted to press charges, 684 00:38:23,980 --> 00:38:26,280 but he did leave Liberty. 685 00:38:26,347 --> 00:38:28,281 The next school for Jesse Matthew 686 00:38:28,348 --> 00:38:31,615 was Christopher Newport University, 687 00:38:31,714 --> 00:38:34,715 but history sort of repeated itself there. 688 00:38:34,781 --> 00:38:37,782 There were allegations of sexual assault, 689 00:38:37,882 --> 00:38:41,350 and Jesse Matthew left that school, too. 690 00:38:41,351 --> 00:38:43,483 Stuart: And the same situation occurred, 691 00:38:43,484 --> 00:38:46,018 where he was able to leave the school. 692 00:38:46,085 --> 00:38:48,218 That history stayed hidden. 693 00:38:48,285 --> 00:38:53,353 Bryan-Campos: So, here's a person who's had two passes, 694 00:38:53,354 --> 00:38:57,020 who has tested the waters, 695 00:38:57,088 --> 00:39:01,088 and found that he can get away with sexual assault 696 00:39:01,188 --> 00:39:02,888 without legal repercussion. 697 00:39:02,989 --> 00:39:04,922 He's lost his football scholarship, 698 00:39:04,989 --> 00:39:07,989 he leaves Christopher Newport University, 699 00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:10,990 and he's back in Charlottesville. 700 00:39:11,090 --> 00:39:14,391 Psychologically, criminals gain traction 701 00:39:14,491 --> 00:39:16,390 when they see that they're not caught. 702 00:39:16,391 --> 00:39:18,791 So, when we look to Mr. Matthew, 703 00:39:18,891 --> 00:39:22,192 I believe that he felt a level of emboldedness 704 00:39:22,193 --> 00:39:26,893 because he was not convicted in the prior two offenses. 705 00:39:26,994 --> 00:39:29,228 Stuart: He comes back to Charlottesville 706 00:39:29,294 --> 00:39:32,894 and finds work as a cabdriver. 707 00:39:32,895 --> 00:39:35,895 Jesse is also an assistant football coach 708 00:39:35,996 --> 00:39:38,930 for one of the private schools in the area. 709 00:39:38,997 --> 00:39:42,731 He was fooling so many people and living a double life. 710 00:39:43,130 --> 00:39:47,198 We want to talk to Jesse Matthew. 711 00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:48,498 We want to talk to him. 712 00:39:48,499 --> 00:39:50,598 We want to talk about his interaction 713 00:39:50,599 --> 00:39:53,399 with a sweet young girl that we can't find, 714 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,000 because he was with her. 715 00:39:57,501 --> 00:39:58,799 Gil Harrington: When Morgan was missing, 716 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,635 I reverted to something that I do often 717 00:40:02,735 --> 00:40:05,302 when I am stressed, is I do journal. 718 00:40:05,403 --> 00:40:09,836 In a way, I felt that it was almost like pulling 719 00:40:09,902 --> 00:40:16,903 shards of glass or a pain out by putting them on the paper. 720 00:40:16,904 --> 00:40:22,739 This is an entry from June 28, 2010. 721 00:40:22,805 --> 00:40:27,840 "Reckoning, note to a monster. 722 00:40:27,906 --> 00:40:29,041 Listen up. 723 00:40:29,108 --> 00:40:33,108 There is karma or fate or destiny. 724 00:40:33,109 --> 00:40:38,376 Evil may rule for a while, but eventually, inevitably, 725 00:40:38,377 --> 00:40:41,644 without fail, the pendulum swings 726 00:40:41,744 --> 00:40:44,444 and your reign will be over. 727 00:40:44,512 --> 00:40:46,611 I'm ready. 728 00:40:46,612 --> 00:40:48,812 Your clock is ticking down. 729 00:40:48,911 --> 00:40:52,113 Any time now, good will prevail." 730 00:40:55,647 --> 00:40:59,381 It's just a matter of time before he acts out again. 731 00:40:59,382 --> 00:41:03,215 We received a call that they had discovered human remains. 732 00:41:03,316 --> 00:41:05,015 Stuart: Jesse, just like Hannah, 733 00:41:05,016 --> 00:41:06,515 and just like Morgan years before, 734 00:41:06,516 --> 00:41:08,117 has now vanished, 735 00:41:08,217 --> 00:41:11,017 and investigators don't know where he is. 736 00:41:11,117 --> 00:41:13,917 I was shaking. I was scared. 737 00:41:14,018 --> 00:41:16,117 There was no one else around me. 738 00:41:16,118 --> 00:41:18,818 Gil Harrington: I just wanted to stop him, 739 00:41:18,918 --> 00:41:20,419 because there was inevitably 740 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,754 going to be another victim for him if he wasn't stopped. 741 00:41:26,388 --> 00:41:28,154 He is the source of information 742 00:41:28,221 --> 00:41:29,821 that can bring this to conclusion. 743 00:41:29,921 --> 00:41:32,522 French: Now the next chapter starts, 744 00:41:32,622 --> 00:41:37,222 and they want to start finding justice for their daughter. 745 00:41:37,223 --> 00:41:40,024 Now that police have identified the man on the security cameras 746 00:41:40,124 --> 00:41:42,623 with Hannah Graham as Jesse Matthew Jr., 747 00:41:42,624 --> 00:41:44,391 the hard work begins. 748 00:41:44,392 --> 00:41:46,758 Prove he's guilty of abducting her. 749 00:41:46,824 --> 00:41:48,924 But with no evidence, and no body, 750 00:41:48,925 --> 00:41:51,659 it'll take old-fashioned detective work, 751 00:41:51,725 --> 00:41:53,327 as well as an unexpected assist 752 00:41:53,427 --> 00:41:57,927 1,300 miles away, to bring a predator to justice. 753 00:41:58,028 --> 00:42:00,762 Part two of "The Back-to-School Killer." 754 00:42:00,828 --> 00:42:02,228 I'm Donnie Wahlberg. 755 00:42:02,229 --> 00:42:03,762 Thanks for watching. 756 00:42:03,828 --> 00:42:06,663 Good night.
