Since that time, the Charlottesville Police department, in cooperation with the county of albemarle, and jurisdictions throughout the commonwealth of virginia engaged in an unprecedented search in an effort to find her. And return her to her family. Countless hours, thousands of hours, have been spent by let literally hundreds of Law Enforcement and volunteers in an effort to find hannah. We think perhaps today proved their worth. Sometime before noon today, a search team from the Chesterfield CountySheriffs Department was searching an abandoned property along old lynchburg road in southern Albemarle County when they discovered what appears to be human remains. Now, fairly shortly after that discovery, at a time that was most appropriate, detective Sergeant James mooney of the Charlottesville Police department made a very difficult phone call and reached out to john and susan graham to share with them this preliminary discovery. Again, these are human remains, and forensic tests need to be conducted to determine the identification of those remains, but nonetheless, we wanted to be quick and timely to share that information excuse me with the graham family. Now, as colonel sellers will point out in just a moment, this investigation is complicated. Its a complex criminal investigation, and its unlikely well have any information in the very near future, and perhaps the days to come that well be able to share with you about what we learned today. And what well likely learn in the days to come. But again, we know youll be patient. We know youll be respectful, because there will come a time when well be able to tell you more. But thats not today. Hannah graham was last seen just after midnight last month in downtown charlottesville. She was captured on Security Camera video, as was Jesse Matthew. And Police Believe he is the last person to see her alive. Hes already been charged with abduction in connection with the case. We have complete coverage of these new developments, former fbi assistant director, tom fuentes joins me, along with criminal defense attorney, danny cevallos, and uva professor, coy barefoot. Coy, i wonder if you could talk a bit since you have been deep in this case from the very beginning and you are from there. You could hear in the words of chief Timothy Longo there just the emotion. This was a Community Tragedy in many ways, and a Community Effort to find, hopefully, her alive. But now it looks like her remains. Hundreds of miles away, just as a father, i can see how wrenching this must be for the community, and certainly her parents. Can you describe how much of this was was group suffering there, in effect, as they lost this young girl . Jim, thanks. Yes, it absolutely feels like this community has been wounded. Of i mean, hannah was stolen from us. Morgan was stolen from us. A number of young women have gone missing here in central virginia, and hannah, this tragedy of Hannah Graham, is just an insult to injury here. Its just amazing. I can say that tim longo, the chief of the Charlottesville Police department, is a good friend of mine. I have talked to him on and off the record many times over the last few weeks, and the world should know how absolutely committed he has been to marshalling every resource at his disposal to find Hannah Graham and bring her home to her mom and dad. He has everyone that works on his team, the Virginia Department of emergency management, the entire community, has been so laserfocused on this goal. Lets find hannah. Lets find hannah, and hopefully, we all hope that we would find her alive. It appears today five weeks to the day that she was last seen in downtown charlottesville. It appears that they have found her remains. I do have a Police Source that confirmed to me late today that they did find a deep decomposed body taken to richmond to the medical Examiners Office for i. D. Everyone who was on the scene believed that was Hannah Graham. Let me tell you exactly where were talking about. This is about ten miles south of charlottesville. Old lynchburg road is a direct shot, straight south of town into a very rural, heavily wooded part of Albemarle County outside the city of charlottesville. Walnut creek park is in this area, that is 525acre park with 15 miles of trails and a 45acre lake. This body these remains were found on what chief longo said was an abandoned property off of old lynchburg road, just south of walnut streak park. The police have set up a command center at the park and are currently working at what is now a crime scene, where this decomposed body was found. And there is just such a mix of emotions here in charlottesville. You know, i have seen people crying. I have cried tears myself. But you are also in the same moment so relieved that there might be some closure for such a wounded family. Such a wounded community. But lets remember too, we never found samanthas body. We have yet to find bonnies body. We have yet to find janet. We have yet to find alexis. There are a number of people. And sage, as well. There are so many people who are still missing. And now we are all wondering to what extent might mr. Approximate matthew, the prime suspect in the abduction and possibly now the murder of Hannah Graham, were all wondering to what degree he might be eventually linked to these other cases. Jim . Of course, the ultimate closure will come what closure is worth, if they can find the perpetrator and bring him to justice. As you have been speaking, coy, we have been showing the smiling pictures of Hannah Graham that have become so familiar and such a contrast, of course, to the truth of the story, the facts of the story and the developments we heard today. We were also showing pictures from google earth that showed that location, that park ten miles outside of charlottesville, where these remains were found. Clearly, rural trees, roads, remote roads there. A difficult place to search. And that gets at this effort thats been under way for these 35 days with a lot of local volunteers, difficult, as we zoom in from google earth now. You see what a large area this was, and where they apparently may have found these remains. This was not an easy task, was it, coy . Not at all. We all know that they identified this eightmile radius around the city of charlottesville, and they got that number because, look, when a kid goes missing, theyre usually found within five miles. When an adult goes missing, theyre usually found within ten miles. Hannah graham is a teenager, so they split the difference. They also now that morgans remains were found 7. 8 miles from where she was last seen on the copily road bridge at uva. So it would appear now that they were right in that area. At ten miles, this is probably 10 or 11 miles straight southern shot just out of the city of charlottesville. And you are right. This is an absolutely this is tough terrain, this is very heavily wooded. It is very rural. Old lynchburg road, for those who arent familiar with it, is a country road that winds through the woods, up and down the hills. I have done triathlons down at Walnut Creek Park so i have run and biked those roads many times. And i can tell you theyre hilly, very wooded, very thick woods with a lot of very rural properties. And longo says today, chief longo says, that they found this decomposed body in what is an abandoned property. I dont know, and i cant confirm, does that mean a structure, does that mean an old house, an old barn . I have also heard from other Law Enforcement sources of word of a shallow grave. That is unconfirmed at this time. But i have heard that from a couple of other sources mentioning a shallow grave on an abandoned piece of property in southern Albemarle County. But this has been an historic, unpre unprecedented search effort by the Virginia Department of emergency management. Look, weve never seen anything like this in the history of virginia. There has never been a search more complicated, more extensive, and now the longest running search, five weeks to the day, to find Hannah Graham. But everybody i talked to over the last five weeks looked me right in the eye, and said, we are going to keep looking until we find her. Everyone has said that. And it would appear today that they did. Unfortunately, it appears that they have found her remains, but there is some closure, at least, hopefully, for the family in this terrible, terrible tragedy. And we have word that they have called off the search for Hannah Graham for tomorrow. Another indication that they believe they found, sadly, what they were looking for in this case here and really remarkable piece of police work to find within that tenmile radius in fact, exactly ten miles away from where she disappeared. Weve got a panel of legal experts with us. Were going to continue to follow this story. There is much more ahead at this hour.

One, developments in the case of the missing uva student, Hannah Graham. Possible remains found in the investigation in that case. We also continue to follow the National Response to the ebola outbreak. The plan now, to combat the farreaching effects of ebola, and that is to leave no stone unturned. Cnn has just learned that the tsa officer who patted down ebola patient, amber vinson in cleveland on october 13th is now self monitoring as a precautionary measure. Meanwhile, Frontier Airlines is scrambling to contact as many as 800 passengers who may have flown on the same plane that vinson flew on. And, a cruise ship is steaming back to galveston, texas, with a Lab Supervisor who may have come into contact with ebola via a specimen from Thomas Eric Duncan. Amber vinson and nina pham, still recovering at specially equipped hospitals. The monitoring period for the 48 people in dallas who had contact with liberia patient Thomas Eric Duncan is almost over. Thats 21 days. That will be up tomorrow. He died last week, youll remember. And now the question remains, are there any other people who need to be under observation . Cnns Alina Machado joining us live from dallas. Alina, let me start with duncans girlfriend and her family. Will they be allowed to go back to their apartment now . Have they reached the end of that 21day monitoring period . Reporter jim, Dallas County judge clay jenkins tells us the family will not be returning to the apartment, because their lease was already up. Instead, several Community Leaders have stepped up and they have found her a new place to live. So once that monitoring period ends for her, she will be going to a different place. Now tomorrow could be a promising milestone, because you are at the end of the 21day period, the incue Obama Administration period for this virus, and if they dont show it in that period, that means theyre not going to get sick. There were 48 people who came into contact with duncan. So this means tomorrow, alina, they will no longer be monitored, assuming they get past that 21day benchmark . Reporter thats our understanding. Dallas county judge, the judge who i mentioned, clay generjenk told us the incubation period for the 48 people will end tomorrow night and monday, so midnight monday. And once thats over, theyre supposed to be out of the red zone, so to speak. Each of those markers, it would mean at least in the case of the first patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, he did not cause anymore infections, i suppose. But you have these other patients infected, nina pham, amber vinson, and then they have 21day periods, right . So those people came into contact with them and they still need to be monitored for some time. Reporter right, right. There are already dozens of Health Care Workers who are being monitored, because they came into contact with those two nurses. And as you mentioned, there is a 21day incubation period, so they will be monitored for 1 days 21 days after their known exposure. Hopefully you pass all those 21day periods with all the cases and then youre declared ebolafree, which has happened, incredibly, perhaps, before the u. S. For countries like nigeria and senegal. And i imagine, alina, thats what everybody is aiming for, you have no cases and everybody is past the 21day period. Reporter absolutely. Thats what everybody is hoping for here in dallas. Thanks very much, Alina Machado. He want to turn to dr. Alexander garza, Health Affairs for the department of homeland security, associate professor of epidemiology at st. Louis university. We have just learned that a tsa officer who patted down ebola patient amber vinson, a nurse who contracted it from thomas duncan, has now decided to self monitor as a precautionary measure. To your knowledge, no signs of the disease, right . This is a precaution. Right, right. This is just what you said it is. Its a precaution. So patting down amber vinson in the airport when she was not having any real signs of infection she had that elevated temperature. But again, you have to be in contact with bodily fluids to really be at risk of contracting the disease. Now dr. Garza, we have had some discussion on this program earlier with Health Experts about you need reaction, right . You need to be on top of this, but there is the possibility of overreaction. And i was recounting the story at the pentagon yesterday, someone got sick outside the back bathroom and they brought in people with hazmat suits to clean it up. And you just wonder, at what point youre allocating or we as a country are allocating resources that could be better allocated elsewhere, where there really is a threat. How do you get that balance right . Right. And so it has to be a prudent response, right . Otherwise theres no upper limit. And so its easy to understand, though, in the early days of an exposure to something thats new and novel and really sort of unknown, that you would the pendulum swing in such a far direction. But i think as more people get used to dealing with this issue, they become if they ever become more comfortable in dealing with this issue, you can start ratcheting it back, and really start thinking about this from a riskbased perspective. What is my risk, and then how can i respond appropriately to that risk. Well, one question that i imagine our viewers have is this. You have amber vinson, getting on the plane, she is patted down by a tsa officer. He, as a precaution, self quarantin quarantines. He then presumably patted down other passengers afterwards. Now, we know medically that youre not contagious until you develop the disease and have symptoms. But does anyone think of then taking that next step just to make sure that everybody feels comfortable . I mean, how far do you carry each of these precautionary steps . Right. Exactly. And i think that was the you know, what i was trying to get across. Whats the upper limit now . So presumably, the contact was very minimal. I mean, ive been patted do you know at the airport before as well. And you know, its usually your outer garments, theyre wearing gloves, they change their gloves. But again, you have to be exposed to bodily fluids in order to contract the virus. And so the risk of exposure to anyone else who is patted down by this tsa officer is virtually nil. Youre aware that the president just yesterday appoi
