00:00:13,046 --> 00:00:19,736
Augenstein: The way he saw her,
turned, and followed,
3
00:00:19,745 --> 00:00:23,975
I understand what he's thinking.
4
00:00:24,047 --> 00:00:27,047
He's thinking,
"I have a victim here."
5
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,380
He's sizing her up.
6
00:00:32,447 --> 00:00:38,847
At some point, he realizes,
"Yes, this is the one."
7
00:00:38,847 --> 00:00:57,377
??
8
00:01:00,882 --> 00:01:02,852
Welcome to "Very Scary People."
9
00:01:02,848 --> 00:01:04,248
I'm Donnie Wahlberg.
10
00:01:04,350 --> 00:01:07,480
The 2014 disappearance
of student Hannah Graham
11
00:01:07,550 --> 00:01:09,850
sent shock waves through
the close-knit community
12
00:01:09,948 --> 00:01:11,548
of Charlottesville, Virginia,
13
00:01:11,650 --> 00:01:14,780
in part because it felt
all too familiar.
14
00:01:14,849 --> 00:01:16,179
Five years earlier,
15
00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:18,280
another college student
had vanished nearby
16
00:01:18,350 --> 00:01:20,350
under similar circumstances,
17
00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:22,880
and DNA later found
on her discarded shirt
18
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:26,450
was linked to a third brutal
attack four years earlier.
19
00:01:26,451 --> 00:01:29,151
With so much time passing
between attacks,
20
00:01:29,151 --> 00:01:31,351
investigators can't help
but wonder,
21
00:01:31,451 --> 00:01:34,051
"Are there other victims
yet to be discovered?"
22
00:01:34,151 --> 00:01:37,481
This is part 2 of
"The Back-to-School Killer."
23
00:01:46,985 --> 00:01:49,345
Hannah Graham
is a second-year student
24
00:01:49,452 --> 00:01:51,092
at the University of Virginia.
25
00:01:51,153 --> 00:01:54,553
She is out having fun
with friends.
26
00:01:56,852 --> 00:02:01,992
French: So, Hannah started
the night on September 13, 2014,
27
00:02:02,053 --> 00:02:05,553
out to dinner,
and from that restaurant,
28
00:02:05,554 --> 00:02:08,554
they went to a few parties
that evening.
29
00:02:08,554 --> 00:02:13,054
Augenstein: And then she decides
to meet some other friends
30
00:02:13,154 --> 00:02:15,894
and starts walking
down Market Street
31
00:02:15,953 --> 00:02:17,853
towards the downtown mall.
32
00:02:18,554 --> 00:02:23,464
The last text that Hannah sends
to her friends is at 1:20 a.m.
33
00:02:24,488 --> 00:02:27,258
She tells friends
that she's lost.
34
00:02:28,488 --> 00:02:29,748
Longo: That was the last time
35
00:02:29,754 --> 00:02:33,164
that anyone saw Hannah Graham
alive.
36
00:02:33,255 --> 00:02:37,385
I can't imagine what her parents
are going through.
37
00:02:37,455 --> 00:02:40,685
I mean, they drop their daughter
off at college.
38
00:02:40,755 --> 00:02:43,055
And now they're waking up
every morning wondering,
39
00:02:43,056 --> 00:02:46,086
"Am I ever gonna see
my daughter again?"
40
00:02:46,156 --> 00:02:48,786
The Hannah Graham case
was huge
41
00:02:48,856 --> 00:02:51,356
because this was part
of a larger picture
42
00:02:51,357 --> 00:02:53,357
of a serial predator.
43
00:02:53,457 --> 00:02:58,657
Hannah Graham's disappearance
was an eerie reminder
44
00:02:58,657 --> 00:03:02,557
of the disappearance
of Morgan Harrington.
45
00:03:06,358 --> 00:03:10,288
Tonight, where is
20-year-old Morgan Harrington?
46
00:03:11,757 --> 00:03:14,357
Gil Harrington: Morgan had
20 fantastic years,
47
00:03:14,458 --> 00:03:16,688
and she had one hell
of a bad night.
48
00:03:17,857 --> 00:03:20,057
It's the night
of October 17, 2009.
49
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:22,789
Henderson: Morgan told me she
was going to the concert,
50
00:03:22,858 --> 00:03:26,158
and she was really excited
for a fun night out
51
00:03:26,259 --> 00:03:28,859
in Charlottesville.
52
00:03:28,858 --> 00:03:32,188
Vance: The question of what
happened to Morgan
53
00:03:32,260 --> 00:03:35,360
is something
we don't know exactly.
54
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:36,560
At some point, during the show,
55
00:03:36,660 --> 00:03:38,890
Morgan has to go
to the bathroom.
56
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:40,889
And she'd fallen.
57
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:43,389
She was disoriented.
58
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:46,690
Somehow, she ends up outside.
59
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:54,460
Morgan is outside the venue,
and they have a rule
60
00:03:54,461 --> 00:03:57,491
that you can't go back in
if you leave.
61
00:03:57,561 --> 00:04:00,061
The roommates called Morgan
and said,
62
00:04:00,061 --> 00:04:01,491
"Morgan, where are you?"
63
00:04:01,561 --> 00:04:03,401
And Morgan said,
"I'm outside the building.
64
00:04:03,462 --> 00:04:05,002
I can't get back in."
65
00:04:05,061 --> 00:04:09,801
And she told her friends
that she would find a way home.
66
00:04:09,861 --> 00:04:12,901
So, right next to
the John Paul Jones Arena,
67
00:04:12,961 --> 00:04:17,361
there is a section
where taxicabs can park
68
00:04:17,462 --> 00:04:22,102
and wait for people
to come outside of the venue.
69
00:04:22,163 --> 00:04:24,463
It's not beyond the realm
of possibility
70
00:04:24,563 --> 00:04:28,303
that a cabdriver would see
a pretty blonde
71
00:04:28,363 --> 00:04:31,263
with her thumb up in the air,
needing a ride,
72
00:04:31,364 --> 00:04:34,704
and swing by
and offer her a lift.
73
00:04:38,164 --> 00:04:40,264
Stuart: There was something
incredibly terrifying,
74
00:04:40,264 --> 00:04:42,904
that Morgan could
disappear like this,
75
00:04:42,963 --> 00:04:44,663
just vanish into thin air.
76
00:04:45,465 --> 00:04:48,495
It really left
the community terrorized.
77
00:04:49,863 --> 00:04:53,703
I think the most vivid image
I have in my head
78
00:04:53,798 --> 00:04:56,558
is of her being alive
in the field
79
00:04:56,565 --> 00:05:03,955
and being cold ...
it's dark ... with this monster.
80
00:05:03,964 --> 00:05:06,804
A frantic search is under way
for a beautiful, young woman
81
00:05:06,865 --> 00:05:10,365
who vanished during
a packed rock concert.
82
00:05:10,366 --> 00:05:12,066
Bryan-Campos: Thirty days
after Morgan disappeared,
83
00:05:12,066 --> 00:05:15,796
her black Pantera T-shirt
was found on top of a bush
84
00:05:15,866 --> 00:05:20,396
outside of an apartment
building in the UVA campus.
85
00:05:20,467 --> 00:05:24,467
Investigators tested
that Pantera T-shirt,
86
00:05:24,467 --> 00:05:29,367
and the DNA on that shirt
matched an attempted rape
87
00:05:29,467 --> 00:05:33,697
of a woman in Fairfax, Virginia,
88
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:37,797
that had happened
several years earlier.
89
00:05:37,867 --> 00:05:40,897
It's Fairfax, Virginia,
September 2005.
90
00:05:40,967 --> 00:05:42,797
Stuart:
A woman that we'll call R.G.
91
00:05:42,868 --> 00:05:44,868
was walking home
with her groceries
92
00:05:44,867 --> 00:05:49,697
when a man came up
behind her and grabbed her.
93
00:05:49,768 --> 00:05:51,598
Augenstein: He throws this woman
down on the ground.
94
00:05:51,702 --> 00:05:54,972
He's ripping at her.
He's taking off her clothes.
95
00:05:54,968 --> 00:05:57,598
He's punching her.
He's threatening her.
96
00:05:57,702 --> 00:06:00,372
Stuart: R.G.'s life was likely
saved by the fact
97
00:06:00,470 --> 00:06:02,170
that a car went by with lights
98
00:06:02,170 --> 00:06:07,500
and caused the assailant to stop
the attack and leave her.
99
00:06:07,570 --> 00:06:11,370
She sits down with police,
and she is able to provide
100
00:06:11,470 --> 00:06:16,070
to police a sketch composite
of her assailant.
101
00:06:18,171 --> 00:06:23,871
??
102
00:06:23,870 --> 00:06:29,700
The search for Hannah Graham
was one of the most extensive
103
00:06:29,770 --> 00:06:32,970
and largest searches
in Virginia history.
104
00:06:33,072 --> 00:06:36,372
Augenstein: The public was
watching this like it's a ...
105
00:06:36,472 --> 00:06:38,972
you know,
a Hollywood thriller.
106
00:06:39,072 --> 00:06:42,212
And that creates a sense
of urgency in you
107
00:06:42,272 --> 00:06:43,772
as an investigator.
108
00:06:45,173 --> 00:06:47,973
Bryan-Campos: We received
surveillance footage
109
00:06:47,972 --> 00:06:51,572
within days of the announcement
that she was missing.
110
00:06:51,673 --> 00:06:53,113
Police have already gathered
111
00:06:53,173 --> 00:06:57,113
all of the security footage
from the mall,
112
00:06:57,174 --> 00:07:00,174
and they're trying to
put together a timeline
113
00:07:00,273 --> 00:07:04,613
of where Hannah had been
on that evening.
114
00:07:04,707 --> 00:07:08,507
They are able to trace
her steps.
115
00:07:12,808 --> 00:07:14,808
I think I'd seen the video
several times,
116
00:07:14,874 --> 00:07:18,974
and I'd seen the guy in
the big white outfit walking by.
117
00:07:18,974 --> 00:07:22,614
I didn't realize, at first,
that he turned around
118
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:27,178
and was walking behind Hannah.
119
00:07:27,176 --> 00:07:30,706
Watching that deliberate
crossing of the mall
120
00:07:30,809 --> 00:07:33,909
and then following
right behind her,
121
00:07:33,975 --> 00:07:36,505
that was chilling.
122
00:07:36,576 --> 00:07:39,976
It still gives me chills,
thinking about that video.
123
00:07:41,910 --> 00:07:44,910
Anchor: Police believe
that Jesse Matthew
124
00:07:44,976 --> 00:07:48,076
is the man seen in this video,
following Hannah that night,
125
00:07:48,077 --> 00:07:51,507
the last person to perhaps
have been seen with Hannah,
126
00:07:51,577 --> 00:07:53,977
and they want
to speak with him.
127
00:07:54,077 --> 00:07:58,277
Longo: We knew intuitively
that was Jesse Matthew.
128
00:07:58,378 --> 00:07:59,878
This was someone
very well-known,
129
00:07:59,977 --> 00:08:02,877
and we had an internal source
that was familiar with him
130
00:08:02,877 --> 00:08:05,407
and was able to look and say,
"Oh, I know that person."
131
00:08:05,478 --> 00:08:07,578
There were people
who felt very strongly
132
00:08:07,678 --> 00:08:10,878
that this was not behavior
that this individual
133
00:08:10,877 --> 00:08:15,077
could be capable of,
that this wasn't who he was.
134
00:08:15,179 --> 00:08:18,809
It was contrary to the person
they knew him to be.
135
00:08:22,212 --> 00:08:25,712
French: I think there's a
disconnect on what you'll hear
136
00:08:25,779 --> 00:08:27,079
about Jesse Matthew.
137
00:08:27,180 --> 00:08:29,910
His friends never wanted
to go on camera,
138
00:08:29,979 --> 00:08:33,479
but the conversations I had
with them were so powerful.
139
00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:38,980
His friends knew Jesse Matthew
as the godfather
140
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,080
that would take care of their
kids without them present.
141
00:08:44,181 --> 00:08:47,381
They trusted Jesse Matthew
with their children.
142
00:08:47,980 --> 00:08:51,010
And then you have the reports
like you did on the night
143
00:08:51,081 --> 00:08:54,111
that Hannah Graham disappeared
of this individual
144
00:08:54,182 --> 00:08:57,582
that was abrasive
and that touched women
145
00:08:57,581 --> 00:08:59,111
when they didn't want
to be touched
146
00:08:59,182 --> 00:09:02,122
and that would just walk up
to them and grab them.
147
00:09:02,682 --> 00:09:05,722
So, you know,
who is Jesse Matthew?
148
00:09:06,815 --> 00:09:11,675
He could be a person who is
everyone's favorite son,
149
00:09:11,682 --> 00:09:14,522
favorite teacher,
favorite mentor,
150
00:09:14,583 --> 00:09:16,083
and, at the same time,
151
00:09:16,083 --> 00:09:21,883
have a dark side from the demons
that he's dealing with.
152
00:09:21,982 --> 00:09:27,622
??
153
00:09:29,484 --> 00:09:32,884
Jesse Matthew is a local guy.
154
00:09:32,883 --> 00:09:35,683
He grew up in this community.
155
00:09:35,684 --> 00:09:39,024
He had some learning
disabilities growing up,
156
00:09:39,084 --> 00:09:40,884
some difficulties with literacy,
157
00:09:40,883 --> 00:09:45,383
and he suffered some abuse
in his childhood.
158
00:09:45,385 --> 00:09:51,085
He grew up with a father
who was a convicted sex abuser.
159
00:09:51,984 --> 00:09:55,124
It was reported
that Jesse Matthew
160
00:09:55,185 --> 00:09:59,185
was also a victim
of sexual assault.
161
00:10:02,719 --> 00:10:04,489
Titus:
The fact that Jesse Matthew
162
00:10:04,486 --> 00:10:08,486
was a victim of sexual abuse
at a young age,
163
00:10:08,486 --> 00:10:14,986
the fact that he was bullied,
had a severe stutter as a child,
164
00:10:14,986 --> 00:10:19,686
all of these things
compiled created Jesse Matthew.
165
00:10:20,687 --> 00:10:25,717
And the impulses that he acted
out throughout his life
166
00:10:25,787 --> 00:10:29,217
were a result
of those things happening
167
00:10:29,288 --> 00:10:32,388
and not being addressed
at a younger age
168
00:10:32,388 --> 00:10:35,018
and festering it
and then getting to the point
169
00:10:35,088 --> 00:10:38,118
where he could
no longer hold it in.
170
00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:44,089
French: Despite his troubled
home life, at times,
171
00:10:44,089 --> 00:10:47,789
he made the most
of different situations.
172
00:10:47,788 --> 00:10:50,088
Stuart: Certainly football
was a ticket for him
173
00:10:50,089 --> 00:10:51,889
to get out of Charlottesville.
174
00:10:51,988 --> 00:10:54,088
He left Charlottesville
to go to college.
175
00:10:54,090 --> 00:10:57,220
Augenstein: Jesse Matthew wasn't
at Liberty University
176
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:58,320
for very long.
177
00:10:58,390 --> 00:11:01,590
There were pretty quickly
some allegations
178
00:11:01,590 --> 00:11:03,490
of a sexual assault.
179
00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:05,790
Bryan-Campos: So, no charges
were ever filed
180
00:11:05,789 --> 00:11:07,289
at Liberty University,
181
00:11:07,290 --> 00:11:10,390
and he goes to
Christopher Newport University.
182
00:11:10,391 --> 00:11:13,421
And a couple months
into the school year,
183
00:11:13,491 --> 00:11:16,121
there are more allegations
184
00:11:16,191 --> 00:11:21,291
that Jesse has committed
a sexual crime.
185
00:11:21,391 --> 00:11:24,831
Gil Harrington: If you looked
at R.G.'s case,
186
00:11:24,891 --> 00:11:26,991
if you looked at Morgan's case,
187
00:11:26,991 --> 00:11:31,831
at Hannah's case, the rapes
that he did at Liberty,
188
00:11:31,891 --> 00:11:35,091
at Christopher Newport,
I was trying to think,
189
00:11:35,092 --> 00:11:36,392
"Why are all these things
190
00:11:36,493 --> 00:11:39,193
happening at the same time
of the year?"
191
00:11:39,193 --> 00:11:41,293
You have new female students
192
00:11:41,293 --> 00:11:44,033
who don't really have
a cadre of friends yet.
193
00:11:44,093 --> 00:11:46,393
They don't really know where
the kind of not-safe places
194
00:11:46,493 --> 00:11:47,993
to go in a town.
195
00:11:47,992 --> 00:11:51,832
So, they're vulnerable
for that very reason.
196
00:11:53,426 --> 00:11:55,926
Augenstein: In the four years
between 2005,
197
00:11:55,993 --> 00:11:57,693
when R.G. was attacked,
198
00:11:57,694 --> 00:12:01,494
and 2009,
when Morgan was attacked,
199
00:12:01,494 --> 00:12:05,494
Jesse Matthew was never charged
with any other crime.
200
00:12:06,427 --> 00:12:09,927
There's been a lot of
missing-girl cases in Virginia
201
00:12:09,994 --> 00:12:11,834
in the past 20 years,
202
00:12:11,894 --> 00:12:13,434
and I think
that it's safe to say
203
00:12:13,495 --> 00:12:17,325
that almost every one
has been checked to see
204
00:12:17,395 --> 00:12:22,325
whether Jesse Matthew could have
possibly been involved in them.
205
00:12:24,396 --> 00:12:27,096
Bryan-Campos: So, there are
women who went missing
206
00:12:27,096 --> 00:12:31,496
the same time that Jesse Matthew
was at Liberty University
207
00:12:31,496 --> 00:12:34,296
and at Christopher Newport
University.
208
00:12:34,397 --> 00:12:37,027
Those cases have never
been solved.
209
00:12:39,697 --> 00:12:41,497
Stuart: There were questions
about what Jesse Matthew
210
00:12:41,497 --> 00:12:45,327
was doing between Morgan
Harrington's disappearance
211
00:12:45,397 --> 00:12:47,897
and Hannah Graham's
disappearance.
212
00:12:47,997 --> 00:12:52,197
He was in a relationship,
and it's been speculated
213
00:12:52,298 --> 00:12:55,998
that that is perhaps
what prevented him
214
00:12:55,997 --> 00:13:00,297
from committing other crimes
in the intervening years.
215
00:13:00,398 --> 00:13:04,128
When there is a large gap
between serial killings,
216
00:13:04,198 --> 00:13:06,128
it shows
one of two things ...
217
00:13:06,199 --> 00:13:09,629
either there are other cases
that have occurred
218
00:13:09,732 --> 00:13:14,002
that we have not been able
to tie to the serial killer,
219
00:13:14,099 --> 00:13:17,629
or something crucial
in the perpetrator's life
220
00:13:17,732 --> 00:13:23,102
happened that allowed him
to move away from this behavior.
221
00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:30,599
Jesse's relationship ended,
and Hannah Graham disappeared.
222
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:34,300
So, it seems that perhaps
the end of that relationship
223
00:13:34,401 --> 00:13:38,601
may have been a trigger for him
to resume his violent behavior.
224
00:13:38,701 --> 00:13:42,001
With the needs
that Jesse Matthew has,
225
00:13:42,101 --> 00:13:45,931
it's just a matter of time
before he acts out again.
226
00:13:52,502 --> 00:13:55,502
French: A hundred and one days
after Morgan's disappearance,
227
00:13:55,602 --> 00:13:57,302
during the dead of winter,
228
00:13:57,402 --> 00:14:03,002
Dan and Gil get a call
that no parent should ever get.
229
00:14:04,802 --> 00:14:07,202
Gil Harrington: A farmer
was checking his fence lines
230
00:14:07,303 --> 00:14:09,843
and came upon
what he thought initially
231
00:14:09,902 --> 00:14:13,342
was a deer carcass in his field.
232
00:14:13,403 --> 00:14:17,603
But he quickly saw that
there was a human skull there.
233
00:14:19,203 --> 00:14:21,903
And it was our Morgan.
234
00:14:22,604 --> 00:14:24,504
Dan Harrington: Gil and I drive
to Charlottesville,
235
00:14:24,504 --> 00:14:29,604
and we demand to go to the place
where Morgan's body is.
236
00:14:32,305 --> 00:14:34,495
The helicopters from Richmond,
237
00:14:34,504 --> 00:14:36,344
from the state
police headquarters,
238
00:14:36,405 --> 00:14:39,795
came and picked us up
and took us to the site.
239
00:14:39,804 --> 00:14:43,244
We did not land, but we were
able to see sort of
240
00:14:43,305 --> 00:14:47,105
where Morgan's body was,
which was very isolated.
241
00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:52,799
It was miraculous
that she had been found.
242
00:14:52,805 --> 00:14:56,535
It was such a big place,
and she was such a small girl.
243
00:14:56,606 --> 00:15:01,036
I really believe that Morgan
wanted to be found.
244
00:15:03,407 --> 00:15:07,407
Morgan's autopsy is done,
and what it tells investigators
245
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:10,707
is that Morgan fought
her killer till the very end.
246
00:15:10,707 --> 00:15:16,037
She has fractures in her wrist,
her ribs, head injuries.
247
00:15:16,108 --> 00:15:18,008
Her teeth are knocked out.
248
00:15:18,007 --> 00:15:19,837
And in interviewing
investigators,
249
00:15:19,906 --> 00:15:23,836
I was told that, you know,
her killer may not have set out
250
00:15:23,907 --> 00:15:27,307
to kill his victims
on the night that he attacked,
251
00:15:27,308 --> 00:15:29,908
but he was going to
sexually assault them,
252
00:15:30,008 --> 00:15:34,208
and if that meant killing them,
he would do it.
253
00:15:36,042 --> 00:15:39,212
The killer was likely
a large person,
254
00:15:39,309 --> 00:15:41,209
somebody who could have
overpowered Morgan,
255
00:15:41,209 --> 00:15:42,809
who was not large.
256
00:15:42,808 --> 00:15:45,738
She was 5'6"
and I believe about 120 pounds.
257
00:15:45,843 --> 00:15:51,743
I know that when Morgan realized
that she was in over her head
258
00:15:51,809 --> 00:15:54,909
and that she was
with a killer, she fought.
259
00:15:54,909 --> 00:15:58,539
And I remember a time
when her mother learned
260
00:15:58,610 --> 00:16:03,110
that it wasn't hair
or semen on the shirt,
261
00:16:03,111 --> 00:16:07,211
it was blood, his blood,
and Gil Harrington said,
262
00:16:07,311 --> 00:16:09,441
"Good girl, Morgan.
You fought.
263
00:16:09,511 --> 00:16:14,011
You had so much to fight
and live for."
264
00:16:14,111 --> 00:16:16,451
French:
Now the next chapter starts.
265
00:16:16,511 --> 00:16:19,511
Now they want to know
who did it,
266
00:16:19,512 --> 00:16:22,452
and they want to start finding
justice for their daughter.
267
00:16:22,512 --> 00:16:24,412
Gil Harrington:
I just wanted to stop him.
268
00:16:24,512 --> 00:16:26,312
That was a huge motivator.
269
00:16:26,412 --> 00:16:27,912
Help save the next girl,
270
00:16:27,912 --> 00:16:32,052
because there was inevitably
going to be another victim
271
00:16:32,112 --> 00:16:34,252
for him if he wasn't stopped.
272
00:16:35,812 --> 00:16:39,912
If you're an apex predator,
if you have already
273
00:16:40,012 --> 00:16:42,512
done abduction,
rape, and murder,
274
00:16:42,514 --> 00:16:45,514
it's unlikely you go
and steal Chiclets
275
00:16:45,514 --> 00:16:49,514
from 7-Eleven
as your next crime.
276
00:16:49,614 --> 00:16:53,454
I think that those crimes
tend to escalate
277
00:16:53,514 --> 00:16:56,914
and become either more savage
or more frequent.
278
00:16:57,013 --> 00:17:00,013
I was very worried.
279
00:17:00,014 --> 00:17:05,754
??
280
00:17:05,848 --> 00:17:09,448
We want to talk
to Jesse Matthew.
281
00:17:09,515 --> 00:17:10,845
We want to talk to him.
282
00:17:10,914 --> 00:17:13,254
We want to talk
about his interaction
283
00:17:13,315 --> 00:17:16,005
with a sweet, young girl
that we can't find,
284
00:17:16,116 --> 00:17:19,016
'cause he was with her.
285
00:17:19,616 --> 00:17:22,646
It was only a couple of days
after his name
286
00:17:22,749 --> 00:17:24,549
had been put out
in the public
287
00:17:24,616 --> 00:17:27,806
that Jesse Matthew
surprised police
288
00:17:27,815 --> 00:17:32,315
by showing up
at the police station.
289
00:17:32,317 --> 00:17:34,747
He came, and he walked
into the police station.
290
00:17:34,816 --> 00:17:35,846
As soon as he got there,
291
00:17:35,916 --> 00:17:38,346
he asked to be represented
by a lawyer.
292
00:17:38,417 --> 00:17:39,847
He was not in custody.
293
00:17:39,916 --> 00:17:41,746
He was free to walk out
of that building.
294
00:17:41,850 --> 00:17:43,620
He was not under arrest.
295
00:17:43,718 --> 00:17:46,018
That attorney came out
of the room, and he said,
296
00:17:46,016 --> 00:17:47,616
"He doesn't have
anything to say."
297
00:17:47,618 --> 00:17:49,148
And he left.
298
00:17:49,218 --> 00:17:51,948
And Jesse Matthew left with him.
299
00:17:52,017 --> 00:17:54,217
He was followed when
he left the police station,
300
00:17:54,218 --> 00:17:55,948
and then he took off
at a high rate of speed,
301
00:17:56,017 --> 00:18:00,817
but his driving behavior
was so incredibly reckless
302
00:18:00,818 --> 00:18:04,018
that the trooper who made
the observations
303
00:18:04,018 --> 00:18:05,318
secured an arrest warrant,
304
00:18:05,419 --> 00:18:07,149
charging him
with those driving offenses,
305
00:18:07,219 --> 00:18:09,119
and that was the first
charging document
306
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,619
that would exist
for Jesse Matthew.
307
00:18:12,719 --> 00:18:16,419
French: When investigators went
to charge Jesse Matthew Jr.
308
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,950
with reckless driving,
309
00:18:18,019 --> 00:18:22,519
they were able to get a search
warrant on his apartment,
310
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,720
and they were able
to look inside.
311
00:18:28,421 --> 00:18:30,921
So, police search
Jesse Matthew's home.
312
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,120
They take enough items
from his apartment
313
00:18:35,121 --> 00:18:38,421
and from his car to run DNA.
314
00:18:39,721 --> 00:18:42,321
Augenstein: Police were tailing
him surreptitiously,
315
00:18:42,421 --> 00:18:44,921
but, believe it or not,
one night,
316
00:18:44,921 --> 00:18:47,961
they're watching him leave
a family member's house,
317
00:18:48,021 --> 00:18:49,521
and they lose him.
318
00:18:49,622 --> 00:18:52,562
He speeds away, and they
don't know where he is.
319
00:18:52,622 --> 00:18:57,922
This afternoon,
we reached that point
320
00:18:58,021 --> 00:19:02,921
where the Commonwealth felt
we had sufficient probable cause
321
00:19:03,022 --> 00:19:07,862
to seek an arrest warrant
for Jesse LeRoy Matthew Jr.
322
00:19:07,922 --> 00:19:09,222
of Charlottesville.
323
00:19:09,323 --> 00:19:15,023
There's a nationwide manhunt
for him at this point.
324
00:19:15,023 --> 00:19:17,423
Dan Harrington: One morning,
it was a Saturday morning,
325
00:19:17,524 --> 00:19:20,224
I got up,
and I got on Facebook.
326
00:19:20,324 --> 00:19:23,124
And this person
from Charlottesville
327
00:19:23,124 --> 00:19:27,364
put a picture
of Jesse Matthew.
328
00:19:27,425 --> 00:19:31,255
And then they put up
the composite picture
329
00:19:31,325 --> 00:19:34,015
that the police
had put together.
330
00:19:34,125 --> 00:19:36,525
And it was the same person,
331
00:19:36,625 --> 00:19:40,625
and so I immediately
texted the investigator
332
00:19:40,726 --> 00:19:43,856
who was working
with the Virginia state police,
333
00:19:43,924 --> 00:19:48,164
and I said, "We have the person
who killed our daughter,"
334
00:19:48,226 --> 00:19:52,016
and he said, "I know."
335
00:19:52,025 --> 00:19:53,455
Stuart: Jesse, just like Hannah,
336
00:19:53,526 --> 00:19:57,326
and just like Morgan years
before, has now vanished,
337
00:19:57,326 --> 00:20:01,856
and investigators
don't know where he is.
338
00:20:01,926 --> 00:20:07,426
??
339
00:20:09,228 --> 00:20:12,128
??
340
00:20:12,128 --> 00:20:14,358
Anchor: The FBI now joining
the search
341
00:20:14,428 --> 00:20:15,928
for missing Hannah Graham ...
342
00:20:16,027 --> 00:20:19,727
the investigation focusing
on this man, Jesse Matthew,
343
00:20:19,728 --> 00:20:22,128
who police believe is
the last person to be seen
344
00:20:22,128 --> 00:20:24,628
with the University
of Virginia sophomore
345
00:20:24,728 --> 00:20:28,128
before she vanished
over a week ago.
346
00:20:28,129 --> 00:20:31,929
This was a national manhunt
at this point.
347
00:20:32,028 --> 00:20:36,128
And the national media
was all over it.
348
00:20:36,129 --> 00:20:37,859
Blitzer: Police today put out
a "wanted" poster
349
00:20:37,928 --> 00:20:40,028
for a man they're describing
as the last person seen
350
00:20:40,028 --> 00:20:41,628
with missing University
of Virginia
351
00:20:41,630 --> 00:20:44,130
sophomore Hannah Graham.
352
00:20:44,130 --> 00:20:48,130
French:
Two days, 1,300 miles away,
353
00:20:48,130 --> 00:20:53,160
a lady is on a beach,
walking her dog,
354
00:20:53,230 --> 00:20:55,430
and her name is Karen Monk.
355
00:20:55,530 --> 00:21:01,330
??
356
00:21:01,331 --> 00:21:03,561
The weather was beautiful.
The water was calm.
357
00:21:03,631 --> 00:21:05,761
So, it was a nice day
to be there.
358
00:21:08,665 --> 00:21:10,625
She pulled her car up
on the sand,
359
00:21:10,632 --> 00:21:12,032
which you're allowed to do.
360
00:21:12,132 --> 00:21:15,832
And this guy in a vehicle
drives by.
361
00:21:15,831 --> 00:21:19,871
The individual that was in
the car looked directly at me,
362
00:21:19,931 --> 00:21:22,771
which was about 10 feet from me.
363
00:21:22,832 --> 00:21:27,532
And I thought I recognized
this person from a newscast
364
00:21:27,533 --> 00:21:29,033
that I'd been following.
365
00:21:29,666 --> 00:21:31,326
Time stands still.
366
00:21:31,433 --> 00:21:33,033
You're holding your breath,
367
00:21:33,133 --> 00:21:37,773
and you just hope
they just keep going.
368
00:21:37,866 --> 00:21:39,426
It was very, very scary.
369
00:21:39,434 --> 00:21:42,634
Luckily this person
keeps driving.
370
00:21:42,734 --> 00:21:45,774
She just remembered, like,
seeing his eyes on TV
371
00:21:45,833 --> 00:21:50,233
and it was a face ...
it was a face you can't forget.
372
00:21:50,234 --> 00:21:52,234
I was shaking.
373
00:21:52,234 --> 00:21:56,274
I was scared because no one ...
there was no one else around me.
374
00:21:56,335 --> 00:21:59,765
I did call my family to see
my description of him,
375
00:21:59,834 --> 00:22:02,274
if I was correct,
and they sent me a picture
376
00:22:02,335 --> 00:22:05,235
from the local news,
and it was him.
377
00:22:08,735 --> 00:22:11,135
French:
So she calls Crime Stoppers.
378
00:22:11,136 --> 00:22:14,136
And she's like,
"This is the guy from ...
379
00:22:14,136 --> 00:22:15,666
that they're looking
for in Virginia."
380
00:22:15,769 --> 00:22:18,969
And they didn't believe her.
381
00:22:19,035 --> 00:22:21,435
Monk: Crime Stoppers told me
that he is
382
00:22:21,436 --> 00:22:23,736
not being looked for in Texas,
383
00:22:23,736 --> 00:22:26,666
and I assured them that
"Yes, he is.
384
00:22:26,770 --> 00:22:29,140
He is here on the beach
in Texas."
385
00:22:29,870 --> 00:22:32,440
French: So, she looked up
the local sheriff's office,
386
00:22:32,437 --> 00:22:36,667
and she reports that there is
a wanted criminal
387
00:22:36,770 --> 00:22:38,440
on the same beach as her.
388
00:22:38,538 --> 00:22:40,138
They're like, "Okay.
We don't know where you are.
389
00:22:40,138 --> 00:22:43,238
Meet us
at the local fruit stand."
390
00:22:45,171 --> 00:22:46,971
Monk: While I was sitting
at the fruit stand,
391
00:22:47,037 --> 00:22:49,567
waiting on the sheriff's
department to arrive,
392
00:22:49,638 --> 00:22:52,268
it was about 45 minutes.
393
00:22:52,339 --> 00:22:55,339
It did seem like forever,
and they did show up,
394
00:22:55,339 --> 00:22:57,739
and the officer asked me
several questions like,
395
00:22:57,739 --> 00:22:59,569
who I saw,
who I thought it was.
396
00:22:59,639 --> 00:23:01,939
I gave him the description
of the car
397
00:23:01,938 --> 00:23:04,238
and the description
of Jesse Matthew.
398
00:23:04,239 --> 00:23:06,539
Sheriff's deputy goes,
and they arrest him.
399
00:23:06,639 --> 00:23:08,439
In other breaking news tonight,
authorities have arrested
400
00:23:08,540 --> 00:23:10,240
the man they have been
looking for in connection
401
00:23:10,340 --> 00:23:12,870
with missing college
student Hannah Graham.
402
00:23:14,540 --> 00:23:16,840
Stuart: When Jesse Matthew
was arrested in Texas
403
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:18,439
and then extradited,
404
00:23:18,541 --> 00:23:21,771
that was the first time
I had seen or heard his voice
405
00:23:21,874 --> 00:23:24,144
and seen sort of ...
seen video of him,
406
00:23:24,141 --> 00:23:26,771
other than the grainy
surveillance video
407
00:23:26,874 --> 00:23:29,244
where you couldn't really
make out much
408
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:31,971
of the night that
Hannah Graham disappeared.
409
00:23:32,975 --> 00:23:36,275
Sir, I got a question
for you.
410
00:23:36,341 --> 00:23:37,481
Okay.
411
00:23:37,541 --> 00:23:40,041
Like, they took
all my clothes
412
00:23:40,041 --> 00:23:44,241
and they got me sleeping
on a hard thing.
413
00:23:44,342 --> 00:23:49,042
I feel like I ...
414
00:23:49,143 --> 00:23:54,383
I should be able to have
some kind of clothes.
415
00:23:54,443 --> 00:23:56,283
It was really jarring to see him
416
00:23:56,343 --> 00:23:59,783
because although
he's a very large man,
417
00:23:59,876 --> 00:24:04,036
he actually has sort of
a youthful-looking face.
418
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:08,242
And to imagine looking
at this person
419
00:24:08,244 --> 00:24:11,044
and realizing this is likely
the person that has committed
420
00:24:11,043 --> 00:24:16,743
these vile, horrific acts
of violence was striking
421
00:24:16,744 --> 00:24:18,344
and, you know,
kind of sickening.
422
00:24:18,843 --> 00:24:20,353
Welcome back.
423
00:24:20,444 --> 00:24:22,044
More breaking news tonight,
what Virginia state police
424
00:24:22,043 --> 00:24:23,253
say there is a significant break
in the disappearance
425
00:24:23,345 --> 00:24:25,775
of University of Virginia
Hannah Graham ...
426
00:24:25,844 --> 00:24:27,154
a new forensic link,
they call it,
427
00:24:27,245 --> 00:24:29,245
to another Virginia woman,
Morgan Harrington,
428
00:24:29,345 --> 00:24:32,035
who vanished nearby
five years ago.
429
00:24:32,778 --> 00:24:34,038
French: The DNA taken
430
00:24:34,044 --> 00:24:36,084
from Jesse Matthew Jr.'s
apartment
431
00:24:36,146 --> 00:24:39,646
was a match
to the Pantera T-shirt,
432
00:24:39,646 --> 00:24:43,146
was a match to the 2005 rape.
433
00:24:43,146 --> 00:24:44,876
It was a match to everything.
434
00:24:48,146 --> 00:24:55,646
??
435
00:24:55,647 --> 00:24:57,547
Longo:
It was a Saturday morning,
436
00:24:57,647 --> 00:25:00,377
and about 10:00 that morning,
437
00:25:00,447 --> 00:25:03,547
we received a call
at the command post
438
00:25:03,647 --> 00:25:05,577
from some sheriff's deputies,
439
00:25:05,648 --> 00:25:09,748
that they thought they
had discovered human remains.
440
00:25:09,748 --> 00:25:11,048
Detective Sergeant James Mooney
441
00:25:11,148 --> 00:25:12,878
of the Charlottesville
Police Department
442
00:25:12,947 --> 00:25:15,247
made a very difficult phone call
443
00:25:15,348 --> 00:25:17,878
and reached out to John
and Susan Graham
444
00:25:17,947 --> 00:25:21,377
to share with them
this discovery.
445
00:25:21,449 --> 00:25:24,779
Chief Tim Longo got
very emotional
446
00:25:24,848 --> 00:25:27,378
delivering the news to us
in the media.
447
00:25:27,449 --> 00:25:30,849
But he made a promise
to John and Susan
448
00:25:30,848 --> 00:25:33,378
that he would not give up
until he could bring
449
00:25:33,450 --> 00:25:37,250
their daughter home
one way or another.
450
00:25:37,250 --> 00:25:39,650
Stuart: Morgan and Hannah's
remains were both found
451
00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:41,450
in the same area
of Charlottesville,
452
00:25:41,450 --> 00:25:44,550
about five miles
or so apart from each other,
453
00:25:44,550 --> 00:25:47,480
both rural areas.
454
00:25:47,550 --> 00:25:50,580
Morgan's was on this farm,
455
00:25:50,651 --> 00:25:56,381
and Hannah's remains
were found in a creek bed.
456
00:25:56,451 --> 00:26:00,351
They did perform an autopsy
on Hannah's body.
457
00:26:00,451 --> 00:26:05,251
And, like Morgan,
Hannah fought ...
458
00:26:05,352 --> 00:26:07,392
fought hard until the very end.
459
00:26:07,452 --> 00:26:12,592
To say that it brought finality
to the task at hand
460
00:26:12,652 --> 00:26:14,252
would be accurate.
461
00:26:14,353 --> 00:26:16,853
And now there's
an equally heavy lift
462
00:26:16,852 --> 00:26:18,592
and that is
a criminal prosecution.
463
00:26:18,652 --> 00:26:22,552
And so we go from one phase
to the next.
464
00:26:22,553 --> 00:26:24,753
Reporter: The cases build
against the prime suspect,
465
00:26:24,753 --> 00:26:26,353
Jesse Matthew.
466
00:26:26,453 --> 00:26:30,093
It was hard to imagine how Jesse
was going to be able
467
00:26:30,153 --> 00:26:34,953
to get out of the legal
ramifications of his crimes.
468
00:26:35,053 --> 00:26:38,453
Even though police
and prosecutors did suspect
469
00:26:38,454 --> 00:26:41,254
Jesse Matthew in connection
with Morgan Harrington
470
00:26:41,354 --> 00:26:46,454
and Hannah Graham's murders,
they decided to go forward first
471
00:26:46,455 --> 00:26:50,585
with the rape of the woman
R.G. in Fairfax County.
472
00:26:50,655 --> 00:26:54,445
The reason was that
was an easier case to make.
473
00:26:54,455 --> 00:26:56,645
They had DNA evidence.
474
00:26:56,655 --> 00:27:01,045
They had a good witness
who was willing to testify
475
00:27:01,156 --> 00:27:03,256
who was alive.
476
00:27:07,356 --> 00:27:09,086
This was the first time
Jesse Matthew
477
00:27:09,156 --> 00:27:11,456
was physically
in a Virginia court room,
478
00:27:11,456 --> 00:27:14,256
and his only two words today ...
"Not guilty."
479
00:27:16,256 --> 00:27:18,586
I've done a lot of thinking
about why Jesse Matthew
480
00:27:18,657 --> 00:27:24,257
didn't plead guilty
to the R.G. attack.
481
00:27:24,357 --> 00:27:26,957
I think he was willing
to roll the dice
482
00:27:27,056 --> 00:27:29,986
and willing to bet that R.G.
wouldn't show up
483
00:27:30,057 --> 00:27:32,187
and testify against him.
484
00:27:33,591 --> 00:27:35,561
Porcher: I genuinely believe
that the defense
485
00:27:35,558 --> 00:27:36,658
looked at the discovery,
486
00:27:36,758 --> 00:27:38,888
meaning the evidence
against the defense,
487
00:27:38,957 --> 00:27:42,957
and they saw an area
that they were able to exploit.
488
00:27:43,057 --> 00:27:47,357
This trial would hinge
on R.G.'s testimony.
489
00:27:48,659 --> 00:27:54,059
??
490
00:27:56,058 --> 00:28:00,958
??
491
00:28:01,460 --> 00:28:03,960
Welcome back
to "Very Scary People."
492
00:28:04,059 --> 00:28:06,789
Even though Jesse Matthew
had been conclusively linked
493
00:28:06,859 --> 00:28:09,859
to the murders of Hannah Graham
and Morgan Harrington,
494
00:28:09,859 --> 00:28:13,359
the first case to go to trial
would be for the 2005 rape
495
00:28:13,461 --> 00:28:15,561
and attempted murder
in Fairfax, Virginia,
496
00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:19,260
of the woman known publicly
as R.G.
497
00:28:19,261 --> 00:28:21,791
Now, a decade after
that harrowing night,
498
00:28:21,860 --> 00:28:25,290
she'll make a dramatic return
from halfway around the world
499
00:28:25,361 --> 00:28:28,891
to testify against the man
who shattered her life.
500
00:28:30,994 --> 00:28:32,804
Stuart: For some of the court
proceedings,
501
00:28:32,861 --> 00:28:36,561
the hearings were held in
a very, very small courtroom.
502
00:28:36,562 --> 00:28:39,862
And Jesse Matthew had
to be led in, and in so doing,
503
00:28:39,861 --> 00:28:45,201
he literally had to brush up
against Gil and Dan Harrington.
504
00:28:45,263 --> 00:28:47,563
And he stopped,
and he looked down at them,
505
00:28:47,663 --> 00:28:51,263
and I will never forget seeing
Gil Harrington look up
506
00:28:51,363 --> 00:28:53,163
and not look away.
507
00:28:53,263 --> 00:28:55,563
Gil Harrington: And that
one time, as he came by,
508
00:28:55,563 --> 00:28:58,003
Dan and I could have
been incinerated
509
00:28:58,062 --> 00:29:00,462
with his eye contact.
510
00:29:00,464 --> 00:29:03,564
And it was not a moment
of remorse
511
00:29:03,564 --> 00:29:05,604
that I could see
from Jesse Matthew.
512
00:29:05,664 --> 00:29:08,304
It was almost an act
of intimidation.
513
00:29:10,897 --> 00:29:13,157
Bryan-Campos: I became very
uncomfortable every time
514
00:29:13,165 --> 00:29:17,895
I posted a picture
of Jesse Matthew on our website
515
00:29:17,964 --> 00:29:22,274
because of how dead
and cold his eyes were.
516
00:29:22,365 --> 00:29:25,355
There wasn't much there to see
517
00:29:25,365 --> 00:29:28,695
because it was just
the cold eyes of a hunter.
518
00:29:32,199 --> 00:29:33,369
Augenstein:
R.G. made the decision
519
00:29:33,366 --> 00:29:35,666
to come back to this country
520
00:29:35,766 --> 00:29:38,766
to testify against
Jesse Matthew.
521
00:29:38,766 --> 00:29:41,966
She had been embarrassed
to tell her family
522
00:29:42,066 --> 00:29:45,966
that she had been assaulted,
but she did.
523
00:29:45,966 --> 00:29:50,366
She knew that her name
would be given in the courtroom,
524
00:29:50,367 --> 00:29:55,897
but she decided to testify
against Jesse Matthew.
525
00:29:55,966 --> 00:29:58,496
Bryan-Campos:
R.G. knows the stakes.
526
00:29:58,567 --> 00:30:03,667
Not only does she get to
have this personal closure,
527
00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:07,368
but I think she understands
how this conviction
528
00:30:07,468 --> 00:30:11,398
also sets into motion
other convictions.
529
00:30:14,102 --> 00:30:15,272
Vance: She was tiny ...
530
00:30:15,369 --> 00:30:17,099
she must have weighed
95 pounds ...
531
00:30:17,169 --> 00:30:18,399
but not soft-spoken.
532
00:30:18,469 --> 00:30:19,899
She was powerful.
533
00:30:20,802 --> 00:30:24,972
And her insistence
to tell her story?
534
00:30:25,068 --> 00:30:26,668
She came back and she said,
535
00:30:26,670 --> 00:30:29,670
"This is what
my attempted murder looked like.
536
00:30:29,770 --> 00:30:33,470
This is what
a serial killer does.
537
00:30:33,570 --> 00:30:35,800
This is how he bent my legs
backwards
538
00:30:35,903 --> 00:30:41,973
and rearranged my face and
broke my ribs and bloodied me."
539
00:30:41,970 --> 00:30:44,370
He almost killed her, as well.
540
00:30:45,070 --> 00:30:49,800
He was interrupted
in the assault by a passerby
541
00:30:49,904 --> 00:30:54,404
and that probably is the only
reason that she survived.
542
00:30:54,471 --> 00:30:57,771
He did strangle her
and told her,
543
00:30:57,772 --> 00:31:00,672
"Don't move, or I'm going
to snap your neck."
544
00:31:02,971 --> 00:31:08,911
And we assume that Morgan was
also strangled in the same way.
545
00:31:11,606 --> 00:31:19,566
The fact that R.G.
was so compelling, so narrative,
546
00:31:19,673 --> 00:31:26,773
so specific about his violence
and his lack of humanity
547
00:31:26,773 --> 00:31:31,613
gave us what really is
a rare portrait of a predator
548
00:31:31,674 --> 00:31:33,774
in action destroying.
549
00:31:33,774 --> 00:31:36,914
I mean, he had
no more compassion
550
00:31:36,974 --> 00:31:39,614
than a trash compactor.
551
00:31:39,674 --> 00:31:42,414
And he was doing
that much damage.
552
00:31:44,275 --> 00:31:45,605
The prosecution rested,
553
00:31:45,675 --> 00:31:48,575
and it was now up
to the defense.
554
00:31:51,008 --> 00:31:55,908
??
555
00:31:59,109 --> 00:32:01,509
Jesse Matthew is being tried
in Fairfax County, Virginia,
556
00:32:01,576 --> 00:32:03,676
for a 2005 rape.
557
00:32:04,909 --> 00:32:06,279
Reporter:
The victim, now in her 30s,
558
00:32:06,376 --> 00:32:09,906
came all the way from India
to testify in this case.
559
00:32:09,976 --> 00:32:12,706
Augenstein:
R.G. was willing to re-create
560
00:32:12,810 --> 00:32:14,910
and tell the very intimate,
561
00:32:14,976 --> 00:32:18,976
very horrifying story
about what happened
562
00:32:19,076 --> 00:32:21,906
the night
that Jesse Matthew attacked her.
563
00:32:23,177 --> 00:32:29,177
And she was willing to put
herself through the agony
564
00:32:29,178 --> 00:32:31,208
of re-creating that evening
565
00:32:31,278 --> 00:32:36,008
to make sure that Jesse Matthew
was held accountable.
566
00:32:36,078 --> 00:32:41,578
At that point I had no idea
what defense they might use.
567
00:32:41,579 --> 00:32:44,679
And the decision
stretched on and on.
568
00:32:44,679 --> 00:32:47,509
In fact, the judge
called a recess.
569
00:32:47,579 --> 00:32:50,209
The recess stretched on and on.
570
00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:55,782
French: Two days into the trial,
Jesse takes the Alford plea,
571
00:32:55,780 --> 00:33:00,410
which means that he is
not admitting guilt,
572
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:07,080
but he realizes that there is
enough evidence to convict him.
573
00:33:07,181 --> 00:33:10,211
Gil Harrington: After Jesse
pled guilty,
574
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,180
his mother did break down.
575
00:33:13,181 --> 00:33:17,711
And I'm sure that was
a hideous experience,
576
00:33:17,814 --> 00:33:22,584
to see your son admit
to such a crime
577
00:33:22,581 --> 00:33:24,681
and to hear
that he had been sentenced
578
00:33:24,681 --> 00:33:28,081
to multiple life sentences
in jail.
579
00:33:28,081 --> 00:33:33,781
And she lost it.
I did feel badly for her.
580
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:43,383
It's March 2016,
and Jesse LeRoy Matthew Jr.
581
00:33:43,383 --> 00:33:44,783
pleads guilty to the murders
582
00:33:44,783 --> 00:33:47,823
of Hannah Graham
and Morgan Harrington.
583
00:33:48,483 --> 00:33:50,683
Longo: I was in the courtroom
that day when Judge Higgins
584
00:33:50,783 --> 00:33:52,423
qualified the plea.
585
00:33:52,484 --> 00:33:53,884
And there's a series
of questions
586
00:33:53,882 --> 00:33:55,922
that are asked
during that qualification.
587
00:33:55,983 --> 00:33:58,523
And one of those questions
is something along the lines is,
588
00:33:58,584 --> 00:34:02,584
"And are you pleading guilty
because you are in fact guilty?"
589
00:34:02,584 --> 00:34:04,084
That's a very different plea
590
00:34:04,185 --> 00:34:06,075
than the previous plea
in Fairfax city,
591
00:34:06,185 --> 00:34:09,815
the Alford plea, where he's,
"Nah, I'm not saying I did it.
592
00:34:09,884 --> 00:34:11,284
I'm just saying
you've got enough
593
00:34:11,285 --> 00:34:13,915
to prove that I did it" ...
a very different plea.
594
00:34:13,984 --> 00:34:16,694
It's a plea without
accepting responsibility.
595
00:34:17,285 --> 00:34:20,585
To hear him say in response
to Judge Higgins' question,
596
00:34:20,686 --> 00:34:21,986
"Yes.
597
00:34:22,084 --> 00:34:24,394
Yes, I'm pleading guilty
because I am guilty,"
598
00:34:24,486 --> 00:34:26,216
it was incredibly powerful.
599
00:34:28,186 --> 00:34:31,976
Man: Guilty to the first-degree
murder of Hannah Graham.
600
00:34:31,985 --> 00:34:33,715
Guilty to the abduction
with intent
601
00:34:33,819 --> 00:34:35,879
to defile Hannah Graham.
602
00:34:35,885 --> 00:34:39,315
Guilty to the first-degree
murder of Morgan Harrington.
603
00:34:39,387 --> 00:34:41,817
And guilty to the abduction
with intent
604
00:34:41,886 --> 00:34:43,916
to defile Morgan Harrington.
605
00:34:44,287 --> 00:34:46,417
Reporter: Jesse Matthew Jr.'s
plea deal
606
00:34:46,487 --> 00:34:48,087
sends him to prison for life
607
00:34:48,187 --> 00:34:51,187
with no possibility
of ever being released.
608
00:34:53,788 --> 00:34:56,788
French: Through all of this,
Gil has always said
609
00:34:56,788 --> 00:35:00,418
they're all part
of this horrible club,
610
00:35:00,488 --> 00:35:05,218
and everyone that has been
involved in this is a victim.
611
00:35:05,289 --> 00:35:10,089
And even Jesse's family,
Gil has said, is a victim.
612
00:35:11,988 --> 00:35:14,718
Gil Harrington: After Jesse had
pled guilty
613
00:35:14,822 --> 00:35:16,922
and received his sentencing,
614
00:35:16,988 --> 00:35:22,288
his family came from the
defendant side of the courtroom
615
00:35:22,390 --> 00:35:26,120
and came up to me and Dan
and all shook our hands
616
00:35:26,190 --> 00:35:27,920
and said,
you know, "We are so sorry.
617
00:35:27,989 --> 00:35:30,089
We are so sorry.
We are so sorry."
618
00:35:30,723 --> 00:35:39,093
And his mother came last,
and we just hugged each other.
619
00:35:39,191 --> 00:35:43,191
And his mom said,
"Will you always pray for me?"
620
00:35:43,191 --> 00:35:46,791
And I said, "Yes, I will, if you
will always pray for me, Debra."
621
00:35:46,792 --> 00:35:49,832
And she said, "Yes, I will."
622
00:35:50,890 --> 00:35:53,190
Stuart:
And it was an act of grace.
623
00:35:53,292 --> 00:35:55,832
Mother to mother ...
I think Gil understood
624
00:35:55,925 --> 00:35:57,085
that for Jesse's mother,
625
00:35:57,192 --> 00:36:00,632
this is also an enormous,
devastating loss.
626
00:36:00,692 --> 00:36:04,492
And it was a generosity of
spirit that you don't see often.
627
00:36:06,593 --> 00:36:09,693
Gil Harrington: Justice
is a very abstract thing.
628
00:36:09,793 --> 00:36:11,833
When the case comes to an end
629
00:36:11,892 --> 00:36:15,132
and even
with multiple life sentences,
630
00:36:15,193 --> 00:36:20,993
I mostly was seeking
a stop to his rampages.
631
00:36:20,993 --> 00:36:22,393
And so, he's in jail.
632
00:36:22,394 --> 00:36:24,994
He's never going to hurt
anyone again.
633
00:36:24,993 --> 00:36:27,933
But just because
there's been a trial
634
00:36:27,993 --> 00:36:32,733
and he's in jail
doesn't make us whole again.
635
00:36:32,827 --> 00:36:38,227
At one point we created
a map of Virginia
636
00:36:38,295 --> 00:36:43,425
with all the missing persons,
almost all girls,
637
00:36:43,495 --> 00:36:46,425
since R.G. was abducted,
638
00:36:46,496 --> 00:36:51,226
and it's like a scatter pattern
of bodies,
639
00:36:51,296 --> 00:36:55,396
and I wonder
if Jesse is responsible
640
00:36:55,496 --> 00:36:57,096
for some of those missing girls,
641
00:36:57,196 --> 00:37:00,496
many of whom still have
not been recovered.
642
00:37:01,396 --> 00:37:03,926
French: I think there's still
so much to learn
643
00:37:03,996 --> 00:37:06,896
from Jesse Matthew Jr.,
644
00:37:06,896 --> 00:37:11,096
and that's why I reached out
to him in prison.
645
00:37:12,430 --> 00:37:17,400
??
646
00:37:19,297 --> 00:37:22,097
??
647
00:37:22,198 --> 00:37:27,098
French: In 2020, I spoke
to Jesse Matthew in prison.
648
00:37:27,097 --> 00:37:31,027
I wanted to speak to him
because I made a promise
649
00:37:31,097 --> 00:37:35,597
to the Harringtons
that I would try to find out
650
00:37:35,599 --> 00:37:37,999
why he did what he did.
651
00:37:44,299 --> 00:37:48,499
Before we learned the name
Jesse Matthew, who were you?
652
00:38:10,201 --> 00:38:12,201
So, you're a religious man?
653
00:38:22,402 --> 00:38:24,842
I said, "People think
you're a monster."
654
00:38:24,901 --> 00:38:28,341
He definitely did not
accept the responsibility.
655
00:38:29,001 --> 00:38:33,341
He doesn't see himself
the way other people see him.
656
00:38:34,503 --> 00:38:39,143
The other part of the interview
that was very powerful,
657
00:38:39,203 --> 00:38:43,043
sometimes when someone
doesn't say anything ...
658
00:38:43,102 --> 00:38:47,802
when I asked him,
"You struck in the fall.
659
00:38:47,804 --> 00:38:50,104
Was there a reason for that?"
660
00:38:50,103 --> 00:38:54,143
And he sighed and took a moment.
661
00:39:01,037 --> 00:39:06,207
To me, that was admitting that,
yes, there was a trigger.
662
00:39:06,305 --> 00:39:09,895
There was a reason why
he struck in the fall,
663
00:39:09,904 --> 00:39:12,844
that there was some trigger.
664
00:39:12,939 --> 00:39:15,639
He was not forthcoming.
665
00:39:15,705 --> 00:39:23,635
To this day, he does not seem
to have any sort of remorse.
666
00:39:25,406 --> 00:39:28,306
Gil Harrington: I would've loved
to see how Morgan turned out.
667
00:39:28,406 --> 00:39:32,936
Morgan was just so full
of potential.
668
00:39:33,006 --> 00:39:34,936
And all I've got is this box
of ashes
669
00:39:35,006 --> 00:39:37,036
sitting on my coffee table.
670
00:39:37,106 --> 00:39:39,206
That's all I've got.
671
00:39:39,940 --> 00:39:43,640
Longo: I never had the privilege
of meeting Hannah Graham,
672
00:39:43,708 --> 00:39:46,738
but I remember thinking
at her memorial service,
673
00:39:46,841 --> 00:39:51,441
every person that got up
and talked about her
674
00:39:51,508 --> 00:39:54,238
talked about how Hannah Graham
made them better ...
675
00:39:54,308 --> 00:39:58,438
better softball coach,
better friend.
676
00:39:58,509 --> 00:40:02,309
She added to everyone she met
in some way, shape, or form.
677
00:40:02,309 --> 00:40:03,609
That was the Hannah Graham
678
00:40:03,709 --> 00:40:06,739
that I came to know
out of this tragedy.
679
00:40:08,342 --> 00:40:11,212
Dan Harrington: As time went on,
we had to figure out,
680
00:40:11,309 --> 00:40:13,939
how do we deal with grief?
681
00:40:14,008 --> 00:40:15,808
And for Gil and me,
682
00:40:15,810 --> 00:40:19,810
the way that we dealt with
our grief with Morgan's death
683
00:40:19,810 --> 00:40:22,610
was to find something good.
684
00:40:23,710 --> 00:40:28,310
??
685
00:40:28,411 --> 00:40:30,211
Gil Harrington: I did indulge
in some self-pity
686
00:40:30,311 --> 00:40:34,711
for a short while, and then,
I said, "You know what?
687
00:40:34,711 --> 00:40:40,611
If we've got ashes, with ashes,
you can make cinder blocks,
688
00:40:40,611 --> 00:40:43,251
and with cinder blocks,
you build."
689
00:40:45,845 --> 00:40:49,705
And I did take some of
those ashes with me to Africa
690
00:40:49,812 --> 00:40:54,252
and mixed them in the foundation
of Morgan's school.
691
00:40:54,313 --> 00:40:57,313
Morgan was going to school
for a degree in education.
692
00:40:57,412 --> 00:41:00,412
She wanted to teach.
693
00:41:00,413 --> 00:41:05,013
? We are happy to see you here ?
694
00:41:05,713 --> 00:41:07,553
Gil Harrington:
Morgan never made it to Zambia.
695
00:41:07,613 --> 00:41:10,213
But more students
are being educated
696
00:41:10,214 --> 00:41:12,514
in the Morgan Harrington
Educational Wing
697
00:41:12,514 --> 00:41:15,354
at Omni Village in Ndola,
Zambia,
698
00:41:15,414 --> 00:41:18,314
than Morgan
would ever have taught
699
00:41:18,414 --> 00:41:20,714
if she lived to be
200 years old,
700
00:41:20,714 --> 00:41:24,714
and that is how we choose
to neutralize evil.
701
00:41:30,615 --> 00:41:31,705
Jesse Matthew Jr.
702
00:41:31,715 --> 00:41:34,415
is currently serving
seven life sentences.
703
00:41:34,515 --> 00:41:36,415
Having never honestly spoken
openly
704
00:41:36,515 --> 00:41:38,045
about the crimes he committed,
705
00:41:38,114 --> 00:41:40,854
the true extent of his reign
of terror may never be known.
706
00:41:40,915 --> 00:41:43,815
Hannah Graham's parents
don't speak publicly
707
00:41:43,816 --> 00:41:45,416
about their daughter's murder.
708
00:41:45,516 --> 00:41:47,906
Morgan's parents,
Gil and Dan Harrington,
709
00:41:47,915 --> 00:41:49,315
have channeled their grief
710
00:41:49,316 --> 00:41:51,816
into a nonprofit called
Help Save the Next Girl.
711
00:41:51,816 --> 00:41:54,716
Their mission is to educate
young women and girls
712
00:41:54,716 --> 00:41:57,846
about predatory danger
on college campuses.
713
00:41:57,950 --> 00:41:59,350
I'm Donnie Wahlberg.
714
00:41:59,417 --> 00:42:01,017
Thank you for watching.
715
00:42:01,016 --> 00:42:03,216
Good night.
716
00:42:03,266 --> 00:42:07,816
