VIDEO: Parents of Missing UVA Student Hannah Graham: 'Help Us End This Nightmare'

John and Sue Graham make plea on video for someone to come forward with information about their daughter's disappearance.

The parents of missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham have created a video asking for information about their daughter to ”help us end this nightmare.”

Their 18-year-old daughter went missing Saturday, Sept. 13 from downtown Charlottesville, where she was last seen late at night in the company of Charlottesville resident Jesse Matthew, 32. Matthew is in jail, being held without bond after he was arrested and charged with her abduction. Matthew left the area after Graham’s disappearance and was found more than 1,000 miles away camping at a beach near Galveston, Texas.

Graham is a 2013 graduate of West Potomac High School in Fairfax County.

A $100,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Graham’s return. A dedicated tip line for the case can be reached at 434-295-3851.
