appreciate that. the next hour of cnn newsroom begins right now. hello, i'm fredricka whitfield. these are the stories topping this hour. we are waiting for two live updates to begin at any moment. one from pennsylvania state police, chasing an accused cop killer. and the other one in virginia where the search for missing uva student hannah graham continues. we'll bring you those press conferences as they happen. first we begin with hour with security lapses at the white house. two incidents in two days. the secret service arrested a young man who tried to enter a barricaded entrance yesterday in his car before being stopped. and then we have learned more about the man who breached security on friday. as you can see in this video that we just received. take a look at the highlighted area.

there he is, jumping across the north lawn and then barging through the front door as he goes up to the steps right there. and guess what? he was carrying a knife and he is an iraq war veteran. erin mcpike is at the white house for us and what is the latest and what more do we know about the two men and what secret service will do now? >> well, fred, what secret service is going to do now, they are accepting up patrols and surveillance around the white house to maricopa sure that there is more security. they are also ordering a review. but from the latest video, you can see omar gonzalez jumping over the bushes to get into the white house, making this act all the more surprising. >> everybody out. right now. everybody back. everybody into the park. >> reporter: two incidents at the white house within 24 hours, raising serious questions about security. friday night the man captured on this cell phone video not only scaled the fence at 1600

pennsylvania avenue, he went up to the building and barged through the front door. he is identified as 42-year-old omar gonzalez. >> they are going to have to do something with the fence. even if it is as simple as curving the bars over toward the street side, the pennsylvania avenue style. and remember time buys you options. right now they don't have time. you are almost to the door. >> reporter: secret service members yelled at him to stop but didn't shoot. according to a law enforcement official, he didn't appear to be yearing anything and -- to be carrying anything and may have been disturbed. but he was carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon, a folding knife like this in his pants pocket. and he told a secret service agent that he was concerned the atmosphere was collapsing and needed to get the information to the president. the incident happened just four minutes after the first family had left the white house grounds for the weekend. once he got inside, officers

apprehended gonzalez. an ambulance took him to george washington medical center for evaluation. he is an iraq war veteran who retired on disability in 2012. the washington post is reporting that no canine teams chased down the intruder which is the stand artd procedure. >> is an overhaul at the white house. and meantime let's go to the press conference for the search for the cop killer. we are aware that archery season is right around the corner and hunters might be setting up equipment. we are asking those hunters to refrain from going into these areas at this point in time just until frein is captured. we're also asking, though, that if any members of the public do have any photos or videos previously taken from trail cameras that would have been placed in those areas, if they would review those images and we

are looking for photos of frein or other suspicious activity they may have captured with the cameras and we ask them to contact law enforcement to assist in the investigation. also if the public is aware from past times spent in the woods of any shelters, bunkers, anything else that might be used by frein or was possibly constructed by him to also please let us know about that so we can follow up and investigate to determine if that is pertinent to this matter at hand. up until this point, we have had several possible sightings. each are being investigated and followed out. the pennsylvania state police has received hundreds of tips over the past week. many offering credible information. we will continue to pursue each and every one of those. in the interim, we are still recommending a number of precautions to the public. first and foremost he want the public to be alert and vigilant.

if you see anything suspicious or believe they may have seen frein, we're asking them to report it to 911 or tip line at 866-326-7256 and do so immediately so it can be followed up on. we're asking the public not to approach oren counter any suspicious person or vehicles but rather to report those immediately and we'll be glad to have someone follow up on it as soon as possible. the suspect is still considered armed and dangerous. we ask and remind residents to lock all doors and windows as well as their vehicles. at night, keep the exterior of their homes well-lit and we ask them to look for any open shed doors, those kind of things, garages and if they do find something to give us a call and we'll check it out. lastly, i would like to thank the communities in this area for the outstanding support they have shown to the pennsylvania state police throughout this very difficult situation. the men and women of the state police truly appreciate it.

i know that it is a trying time for everyone, people are concerned, their lives are being disrupted. i want them to know that we are working as quickly and efficiently as possible to resolve this matter and their patience again is very much appreciated. do you have anything at this point? >> we're open to questions. >> there were reports that shots were fired on friday night. were there any shot fired related to the search and were those possible exchange of gunfire with the suspect. >> there has not been an exchange of gunfire with the suspect. i'm aware of the reports that you are talking about. at this point we can't confirm those shots were related to this matter. there was another report that i'm aware of that may be the source of those gunshots. >> you said you are pushing hard, you have been very close to him, do you think? >> i know that, again, from our investigation we are finding things, our trackers are -- both dogs ab human tra-- and human

trackers are getting indications that we are on the right trail. so i know how many people we have put into that area, i know the kinds of sweepers we are doing, that there is no doubt we are pushing him hard. he is losing items, and based on other sightings that we've had reports of, we have every reason to believe we're pushing him. >> and there is no doubt in your mind that he is nearby. >> i'm confident he is in that general area that i'll show you on the map. but again the pike road border area. >> you said there have been possible sightings. can you show us. >> i won't give you specifics of where the sightings have been but in that general time and over time there have been sightings but i'm most concerned that in the immediate past and current time, all of the information that we have, whether it is sightings or items we have found, whether it is information coming back from the trackers, we have strong reason

to believe that we're in the right area right now. >> [ inaudible ] food and ammo? >> you said that he planned that attack for months and years? how do you know that? >> again, we're talking to people and looking at a lot of information and that confirms for us that there was significant planning. >> are you finding food and survival equipment other than the weapons and the mag? >> at this point i don't want to disclose what we have or have not found. in the event he is able to hear the news reports, i don't want to tip him to everything we have found but there are a number of items we have confirmed. >> has there been a confirmed sightings. has there actually been a confirmed sighting? >> i will characterize them as sightings. we evaluate all of the information but until we have him in custody, i won't say that is a confirmed sighting? >> do you know how he got from

here to where he got down currently? >> we believe on foot. >> are you still tracking information on his cell phone? >> i won't disclose the techniques we are using to track his movement but we are using every tool available to us and i believe we are doing everything we can to track him right now. >> is it safe enough to reopen schools? >> there are individual decisions the school district will have to make. we are in consultation with various district officials, community officials in the affected areas. we'll certainly provide them all of the information that we can to allow them to make an informed decision and ultimately, though, the decision is theres? >> would you send your kid to school in the zriks that were close. obviously they are looking to police for guidance? >> i understand they are. but they have to make np individual decision based on what is going on in their area and we'll provide them with as specific information as we can while they make the decision, but ultimately it is their decision. i will tell you that, as i've

said in the past, we have every reason to believe that frein is focused on law enforcement and specifically the state police. there is no indication that he is a danger to school children. i believe there is an opportunity to hurt others if he so choose to. >>. [ inaudible question ] >> i'm not aware of an application. not to say that he hasn't? >> [ inaudible question ]. >> they were recovered. whether they were dropped or ch >> [ inaudible ]. >> no, these are items that we believe he had with him at the time of the shooting. >> what makes you believe those are his items?

>> investigation follow-up on the items, we are confident these were his. >> and the two guns that you knew he had -- >> i'm sorry? >> is this one of the two guns you knew he had with him? >> this is a gun that we had knowledge that he has with him, yes. >> is this the gun used in the shooting? >> we don't have all of the results back at this point. >> how many other items, roughly, have been recovered? >> i couldn't give you a number right now, but there have been several. >> but you are certain that what you are finding out there is stuff he's been carrying with him that night? that he carried with him into the woods that night. >> no. i'm not saying that. i'm saying these are items left by him since the time of the shooting. >> any idea now, any better idea now why he did this and why he is targeting lawmak ining law e? >> no, and i'm talked in the past as his desire to display

himself as a serbian soldier and to live in that world and beyond that i can't speculate until why he has done something until we speak to him and he provides additional insight. >> so there is no writings or conversation that he had with anybody? >> no, we are aware of some conversations and things and the way i would characterize those is that it is clear that he has been planning this for some time. i really don't want to go beyond that with specifics of what he has told other people but it is very clear to us that he has been -- that he's held these beliefs sand i think others just -- and i think others didn't believe he would act on. this but he's talked for some time about it. >> and you said he's talked. he's all over social media. his friend said he doesn't have social media and doesn't use it. can you elaborate on where you are finding him writing about

what he's saying about? >> no. >> from police? >> no. not right now. >> you have tried to contact his father or his family. >> there is no contact with his family that point. >> do you still think that he is acting alone? >> everything that we have looked at to this point has only identified him as a suspect in this matter. but as i've also said in the past, we remain open to reviewing any piece of information that comes to light and would certainly discuss that with the district attorney in weighing any other charges. along with that the district attorney has been clear that anyone who aids frein during this manhunt would be charged as well. but in terms of the actual shooting, we have only identified him as a suspect. >> is there boundy hunters coming into the area, if that is discouraged or even legal in pennsylvania? >> we've heard rumors to that

effect. i think mostly from the media that that is occurring. our operations people have not encountered anyone who has identified themselves in that kind of activity out there. typically bounty hunters would try to apprehend someone who has absconded and jumped bail as in terms of trying to get someone for a reward. if someone would come hoar, we would discourage it. they would be putting themselves in harms way and get in the way of us catching him and they have no authority. >> where was the a.k. found? >> closer to the where the jeep was recovered. >> how far apart are the things that he left? >> i wouldn't say it was a

trail. i would just say it was recovered near the jeep. >> were there other items too? >> i will not disclose that because we can't tell you. >> can you tell us about the map? >> this depicts the area. the media has been down in the canaddenses area. this entire area that is enlarged is our primary search area and we are following up on tips and not all of our people are following this. we have significant resources, we have secured this area and we have done sweeps and aviation in the area to allow us to search it, but again we are following it up. we are not soly focused on -- >> what type of area are we

talking about? >> this is a few square miles but the larger area is 200-250 square miles. >> you said there has been no contact between him and his family. has he attempted to contact them? >> we can't common comment on whether -- comment on whether he has or has not. >> does he have a cell phone on him? >> i don't want to comment on that. >> the weapons, were they found that way. >> the weapon was suspended so it could be seen better. >> was it hidden? >> no. >> isn't this fugitive 101, don't go back home. do go -- don't go back home. everybody knows you. >> again, i don't say it was well-planned, but it was planned. >> why is the shelter in place lifted and is it because you

feel you moved out of the area? >> we constantly balance the obvious concerns with disrupting people's lives with trying to ensure their safety. we've swept through the majority of the areas where the residences are located. now be aware, though, he can always slip through a perimeter and get back into there. we can't guarantee anyone's safety 100%. what we can say is that we've done thorough searches through the areas and we are doing our absolute best to try to ensure that he is not in the immediate area of where the majority of the residents are loeblgt cated. it is up to the individual whether they want to remain in their residence or move while the search goes on. >> if you could speak to him, what would you say? >> i would reiterate that he needs to turn himself in.

the state police will apprehend him. it is a matter of time. and for the safety of lawmaker and the public at large, he needs to turn himself in. >> has anybody taken down his facebook or twitter page. he seems to be a ghost online. >> i kosht tell you about -- i couldn't tell you about the status of his facebook or twitter. >> how long do you allocate searches to this? >> the state police will stay focuses until he is apprehended. >> what about the fbi? >> i have commitments from the agencies to stay just as focused and our agency as well as theirs will dedicate even more resources if we believe it is necessary and appropriate at any point in time. >> is this just state troopers? i heard you are recruiting local law enforcement from around the state to come and help out? >> we are using primarily state troopers. we have utilized some specialized teams from other law enforcement agencies but not typically uniformed patrol

officers or anything from other agencies. so we are not recruiting. we have a lot of resources within the state police. i have pulled troopers from stations across the commonwealth so as not to too negatively impact their obligations but i have pulled troopers over the last several days and we continue to concentrate our efforts here and we'll pull resources from where we need to to do a good search. >> you have a picture. you believe that to be one of the two rifles the assailant had on him at the time of the shooting? >> i believe that is true. >> can you talk about his state of mind right now? that he might be getting desperate, not having been able to sleep in days [ inaudible ]? >> as i said, we are pushing him hard. i wouldn't want to speculate. i talk to my experts on what his state of mind might be and we factor that into our efforts as

we go forward but i don't want to speculate publicly about what that might be. >> you said it was about a 250 square mile zone you are focusing on, so most people are trying to determine when can i get back to my normal life, quote unquote, depending on where they live -- >> you've been listening to a press conference of pike county from the state police saying they continue to intensify the search for the suspected cop killer eric matthew frein. they are still asking for people to be very vigilant and look for anything or anyone who seems unusual, however, they have lifted the lockdown on the area. >> and now you see a press conference about hannah graham. >> the tenacity of the people that were there, what they found and didn't find. the relevance to the

investigation, if any, all of those things. but before i start, if you are here in this room if a person e-mailing us or the thousand plus people who showed up to search for hannah, you rose to the occasion. you stepped up to the plate and you rose to the occasion and that is what i asked you to do. that is all i ask ud to do. that is all mr. and mrs. graham asked you to do, just rise to the occasion and help us find their little girl and you did. i'm so proud of this community and every person who has touched the community by their thoughts or prayers over the last week. so you've been through this road map or this chronology of how this started. and i'm just going to touch on it at 30,000 feet and not at the level of detail we have in previous press conferences but to remind you how we got from friday night to today. and all of you know that on

friday night, habba -- hannah left her apartment, had dinner with friends and went to a few other places and socialized and then she left. and her world begins to get turned around at that point, i think. she makes her way to mcgrady's pub and we learn that she interacts with the doorman there single-digit she's turned aw -- and she's turned away. and she went down press don avenue, the world saw that video, playing this video over and over again. and then she finds her way to second street and market next to the restaurant. an eyewitness sees her make that turn. she is southbound on 2nd street and begins eastbound. and we know that because surveillance cameras tell us that. at least two tell us that she's walking up that mall. and in one of the images, one of

which i thought frankly at first blush was a reflection because of how the image was taken, we now look closer and she's walking with a man. i believe that man was jesse matthew. i really do. and i believe jesse matthew and hannah found their selves at the tempo restaurant and i believe that. eyewitnesses told us so. and i believe hannah graham left mariny's restaurant with jesse matthew. i believe that. in fact, i believe that jesse matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face of the earth. let me say that again. i believe jesse matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face of the earth. because it has been a week and we can't find her.

but somebody knows where she is. somebody has got to know where she is. and we want to know who that person or persons are. i've mentioned the name jesse matthew a couple of times. in fact, some of you knew the name jesse matthew before it ever came out of my mouth. we confirmed you had the right name. a lot of you have broadcasted that name. but i don't want to get tunnel vision. i don't want any of you to get tunnel vision. i don't want anybody out there in the community stop looking for hannah graham just because we have a name and saw her with a particular person. we were so interested in jesse matthew we found our way to his apartment, armed with a search warrant, to seize a car. you will see that car on this screen. i want you to take a good look at that car.

if you were in charlottesville, virginia, friday night a week ago and into saturday morning, i don't care at what time, if you saw that car, we want to talk to you. we want to know where you saw it. and who was inside the vehicle, if, in fact, you saw someone inside of the vehicle. hey, if you saw somebody get in that car at about 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, we really need to talk to you. because this is a critical piece of a puzzle where there are a lot of pieces missing. we searched that car. we searched the apartment of jesse matthew. those searches are over. they've been completed. we're waiting to hear back from the department of forensic science as to whether or not any evidence was recovered from either of those two venues.

and a hope and pray that such evidence was. i've made no mistake about it. we want to talk to jesse matthew. we want to talk to him. we want to talk about his interaction with this sweet young girl that we can't find. because he was with her. so jesse matthew showed up at the police station yesterday. walked right through the front door. i might add a couple of minutes while the cameras walked away. walked right through the front door. right after a couple of family members. he asked for a lawyer, and we did. i won't tell you the name of the lawyer because he was never retained, but i know they talked

and i know they walked out that door. and i don't know any more about his interaction with hannah graham than i did the moment he walked in. detectives don't know any more about the interaction he had with that young girl any more than the moment he walked in. so i hope and pray that we might have an opportunity to talk to jesse matthew again. because i think he can help us find hannah graham. because that is -- that is what we want to talk about. we want to talk about where hannah graham is. it is just that simple. um, when mr. matthew left, at some point thereafter state and federal authorities who were overtly -- overtly, not covertly, monitoring his movement, saw him get into a

car, leave the location at a high rate of speed, driving in a man thaer was reckless and placed others in danger, so much so they had to disengage. for their protection and the protection of other people. so the virginia state police have obtained arrest warrants for jesse matthew charging him with reckless driving. two counts because he had somebody in the car with him. that is a class 1 misdemeanor. so there is kind of where we are. now, that might not be interesting developments for you. but here is the deal. i wanted to hear about those things from me. i wanted you to hear that he walked through the front door by me. i want you to hear that we engaged him and he fled in a vehicle. i wanted you to hear that by me. i wanted you to know that he was

wanted on two class 1 warrants by me, not a search of the magistrate records. because i promised we would keep you up to date as best as we can so it wouldn't jeopardize the efforts. if i think it might jeopardize our efforts i might have to hold on to that. but to the extent i think this information will help us find hannah, because this is what this is possible, we are going to be as transparent as we can possibly be. but always asking for your continuing cooperation and patience when we are not able to answer your questions directly at the time that you ask them. so i talked about yesterday's search and now mark is going to do that in just a second. but, again, a thousand plus people from all over come to the community, they spend all day yesterday, they spend all day today, they found things not knowing whether they were relevant or not but they did and asked us -- but they did what we

asked them to do. they stopped and called experts and we came and look and made an evaluation. but regardless of whether those searches yielded anything of value to our investigation, we're going to continue our work. we're going to continue to work relentlessly until we find hannah graham. until we find hannah graham. we're going to work relentlessly. when i say "we", i just don't mean the charlottesville police department, i mean every law enforcement agency that stepped up to the plate and said what do you need? when i say "we" i'm talking about all of you and everybody in the country who has been touched by hannah graham. so mark, if you would come up and talk about the efforts over the weekend and the next steps over the weekend. >> my name is mark eggerman, i'm the search coordinator for the

department of emergency management. on monday we received a request from the chief and his staff requesting our assistance with a missing persons mission. on average, we get a request -- similar request about 80 times a year. most of those do not turn into what we are looking at here today. i came to charlottesville and we began to work with the chief and his staff looking at the information they had, the leads. we were putting search teams, ground teams, canine teams, working through the city, a highly urban area which brings its own challenges. into tuesday we began to realize if we are going to cover the city, there is going to have to be a much greater effort. more man power that what we could provide than what it would take to cover the city to some reasonable measure that we are certain that we have looked

everywhere that we could possibly find. so on wednesday chief longo and i began to discuss a plan of what it would take at that time to bring in the community and engage the community, which at that time was already -- there was some push from the community, excuse me, wanting to be involved and we knew there was an interest. clearly there was an interest. the question was how are we going to do it? so we spent two days planning, logistical coordination at the same time we are still running search tasks with our own people and the various search and rescue teams and we work toward that plan, working with the university of virginia, uva which is a fabulous partner. we could not ask for my greater support. they gave us at -- the arena. once we had at rena, we knew what we had to bring in. and then we had to gage the number of volunteers who may be interested and may want to participate.

we have to figure out how many people we're going to feed, how many safety vests we need, we have to have all of the details wired down. so with develop talented university of virginia students, they set us up with very little effort an online registration system. we asked everyone in the community to register -- pre-register in the registration system to give us those numbers to figure out how we would do that. and so we were going to put that together and move forward. that turned out to be almost 2,000 people that registered on that. not all 2,000 actually came out, however i'm proud to say that the community of both uva, the city of charltsville, there were over 200 people that stepped forward and they gave us two glorious days.

yesterday was a good day. by the end of yesterday we had covered 65% of the city. we still have teams out there right now, search efforts are still continuing and they will continue until at least about 1800 hours, i'm sorry, 6:00 p.m. tonight, and we estimate by the time we finish we'll get 85% of the city. that is very close to our objective of the 100%. at this point, i can't, first of all, just say enough. chief talked about the volunteers and they come out for their own reasons and the parents. i don't know how many parents i ran into looking for their own child in their own mind's eye i believe. i heard the stories of the citizens of the community coming out to the sidewalks to replenish those teams with water and bring them lemonade and offer them food and drink. there were stories of them being cheered on as they move add long and it just touches my own heart. ly tell you that friday was my own daughter's birthday and as much as i love my daughter,

there is no place else i would rather be than right here. hannah has birthdays and i'm sure mr. and mrs. graham want to spent that with their daughter. so at the end of today, we're going to have to line down on the community effort. we can only sustain that for so long. we've come very close to achieving the goal. we're going to scale back to our trained search and rescue teams, we do have a plan to continue forward in a more limited way but also in a much more focused way. one of the greatest benefits that we came up with over last two days, we have generated more leads, new information, and one piece always leads to the next. i was asked at one time, well what are the volunteers going to find? they're going to find all kinds of junk and spurrious things out there. yes, there is a lot of trash in the city. we know that. this is not the first time we've done this. and i know we're going to have

to sort through 90% of everything that we find it will be irrelevant, it won't really matter, but we have to go through the 90% to get to the 10% of things that are possibly relevant to get down to the one thing that will turn this mission on a dime. there is always one thing and that is what we have to get to and it takes work to get there. and i'm proud of the people who stepped forward to come out to be a part of this, who gave us their hearts, their time, their feet, their eyes, their efforts, to help us get to this point. i'm equally as proud as the search and rescue teams who were also volunteer organizations under our agency who participate through this, over 16 agencies and we can give you specific names later, but over 16 different agencies have participated. and we have trained personnel here as far away as maryland, virginia beach, west virginia,

southwest virginia from all over the commonwealth. and i'm proud of every one of them. this is the best example of work and camaraderie that i've seen in my 30-year career. so with that, as we move into the next few days, we're going to be very focused and very targeted and pursue those leads. that is all i have, chief. >> so let me just be redundant, in the few final minutes i'll speak. in the early morning hours of september 13th you saw -- if you saw hannah graham, i need to hear from you. because as i said before, she wasn't the only person on that mall. her and jesse mathew weren't the only people in the tempo restaurant. we know that. and when they walked out of the

tempo restaurant, and they walked in whatever direction they did, they weren't the only people on the street. if you saw the two of them together, we want to know that. we want to talk to you. once again, if you saw that car, particularly if you saw people get inside that car, between 1:20 and 1:40 in the morning, we really need to hear from you. if you have a child, especially a daughter, how does -- this disappearance should strike at your core. it does mine, mark's and jim's. and i know it does yours because i've talked to a lot of you. sometime between 11:00 and 2:00 a bunch of you were lighting up my phone, burning it up, text messages, missed calls, because at about 10:00 yesterday morning i went home and picked up two

15-year-old girls, my daughter and her friend and we went across the mountain to a soccer game. and as i stood there and watched those young girls going up and down that field, i thought of the two people you are getting ready to meet, john and susan graham. they want to talk to you. they want to talk beyond you. they want to talk to an entire community. they want to tell you in their words, not mine, about hannah. they want to ask you not through me, but through their own hearts to help them find their daughter. because that is all they want. for somebody to tell them where hannah graham is. so i'm going to take a few

questions, and i can promise you, nothing that will come out of my mouth will mean as much as what is going to come out of theirs. before i take a few of your questions, i want to say, mr. and mrs. graham will not be taking questions. they just want to speak to you. yes, ma'am? >> when you saw jesse matthew driving at a high rate of speed from your officers, do you believe he was trying to flee the jurisdiction and since you have warrants for the arrest, why haven't you arrested him? >> let me order it in the state it was asked. it was not my folks that made those observations. i can't tell you what was motivating his reckless driving behavior. i can tell you that he -- it was obvious who they were, i would think. the officers that were there. he got in the car and he drove away at a speed that was at a high rate of speed and engaging

in driving behavior that was reckless but i can't speculate on the rational why he would have done. >> that we are aggressively pursuing a location and once we have determined that location, provided mr. matthew does not surrender himself, we will go there and arrest him. >> what is the time line? when was that after he left hannah? >> it was after he appeared here yesterday. at some point after, yes, sir. >> what time was that? when was he there with you guys in the police station? >> he was at the police station probably over at least an hour. >> when? >> in the afternoon, the late afternoon and the officers encountered him shortly after that. within 15 minutes of when he left the police department. >> do you have a street that he was driving on?

>> no, sir. not that i want to release at this point. it was on the other side of the community. >> do you have a previous mug shot of him? >> at such time as he is charged with a crime, we'll release his mug shot. >> do you have previous ones of him from being arrested in the past. >> not that we are willing to release at this point. we've had many discussions about that very issue. >> is mr. matthew now a suspect or is he still just a person of interest? >> he is a person with whom we would like to talk to about the whereabouts of hannah graham, yes, ma'am. >> and just clarify where you saw him, this was in albemarle country. >> yes. in albemarle county. >> what is the timeline? >> we are hoping tomorrow, by tomorrow at the latest, if we don't hear something by tomorrow, we will reach out to

the crime lab to see if they can expedite the work. >> [ inaudible ]. >> not as far as i know. >> as far as jesse matthew, should people keep an eye out for him and how far? >> to the four corners and beyond. >> what was he driving? >> i can't answer that information. if there is appropriate information, i don't see why we can't share it. this is a vehicle, that is his. >> do you have hannah of her leaving the tempo restaurant and do you have video surveillance of her getting into his car. >> jim, is that something you will share. >> i won't talk about the vehicle but we do have them together after they left tempo restaurant. so he is still with her at that time. >> you guys talk about the [ inaudible ] that was up last night? >> that was to assist in the

search and i was up in the chopper. >> can you clarify whether her last text was at 1:06 or 1:20 aim? >> not that point. because we are still working on the phone records with the phone companies. >> wire trying -- we're trying to validate the time stamps without assuming they are accurate. anything else? >> how many eyewitnesses have you spoken with at this point? >> jim? >> i would say well over 50 to 75 eyewitnesses. we've received over 900 tips in the last four days. >> i have a question. >> sure. >> so you've seen 85% of the city and is the second the surrounding counties? >> no, the cover of 85% is the city. within the city. >> will you be tenning to search out into albemarle county at

all? >> as needed, if leads pursue that way, we will pursue every lead. >> i'm going to bring the grahams in. jim, just reminded me of something that courtney had mentioned i think at her first news conference and that is again a reminder and particularly to county residence -- residents of land, police inspector search your property. tire tracks for example that were not made by your own vehicles, work vehicles or otherwise. if you find them please call us. the rest of mark -- and i won't speak for the experts, but my direction would be that the rest of mark's work is going to be driven by where the investigation takes us. again, we appreciate you being here. i would like to ask john and susan graham to come and talk with you. so please give them your attention.

ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. my name is john graham. i'm hannah's father. to my right here is sue, hann hannah's mother and my wife. as this nightmare for hannah, for us, hannah's big brother james, her grandparents and her extended family continues, we would like to make this

statement. we have been utterly overwhelmed this week by the generosity of spirits of everybody we have met and many more besides who we've been unable to meet. we understand that over a thousand volunteers have been out combing charlottesville looking for our girl yesterday and today. a similar number of people are out today searching. sue and i were out searching yesterday. so was some of our work colleagues, our friends, our neighbors from our home, hannah's friends from softball and her friends from high school and many others. but the effort is much wider. members of the charlottesville community have turned out in force to help. hann hannah's university friends have been helping. i read this morning that a

gentleman came as far away as baltimore, maryland, to help. thank you, sir. i read that alexis murphy's aunt trina was helping. thank you, ma'am. sue and i are utter ll ll lly overwhelmed by the help for hannah. we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. i think the reason hannah has such marvelous support, is that this is every parents' worst nightmare. i'm certain that everybody in this room and those watching knows that what happened to hannah could happen to their child. we need to find out what happened to hannah and make sure that it doesn't happen to anybody else. you have all, i'm sure, read about hannah. you'll have read that hannah is a second year student at the university of virginia, a skier,

a musician, a softball player. she likes to help people. and she's interested in a career in helping others. and just as a little example, last spring break, instead of hanging around on the beach like other students may have done, she spent a week in tuscaloosa, rebuilding houses and helping the recovery from the devastating tornado. that is hannah. that is one hannah. but hannah is also our little girl. she's our only daughter and she's james' little sister. hannah is also the oldest granddaughter, both of my own parents and sue's patients and she's my parents' only granddaughter and enormously appreciate to us all. and not only think about what we are going through, think of our parents, hannah's grandparents.

they are literally an ocean away and they don't know what happened to their little granddaughter and unable to happen and it is awful for them. now somebody knows what happened to hannah. we don't know who that is, but somebody knows what happened to hannah. and others >> others who may be watching, they may know something about hannah, and they may not even know that they know something about what happened to hannah. we know that hannah was downtown early saturday morning. we know hannah was distinctively dressed. did you see hannah? did anybody see hannah? who saw hannah? somebody did. please, please, please, if you have anything however insignificant you think it may be, call the police tip line. with anything that just might

help us to bring hannah home. sue and i have received countless messages of support since this began. and i would like to read to you one e-mail that we received this morning and from one of hannah's high school teachers. it reads as follows. i am sure you are continuely being inundated with hundreds of people reaching out daily, but i just wanted to touch base, again, to express some of my hope and confidence. throughout the week as i spoke with hannah's friends and teachers and the countless other people whose lives have been bettered by hannah's passion and positivity, one theme shone bright lly through each conversation. not because they felt like this is what they should say but because of who hannah is.

hannah is brilliant, resilient, determined, and loves life more than anyone else i know. everyone agrees if anyone could get through this, it's hannah. i have been trying to get through my thoughts that with every moment that passes we are one moment closer to getting hannah back. let's hope that today is the day. when i returned home from bringing hannah back to charlottesville for the beginning of term, i found that she had left this little guy behind. this is hannah's favorite white rabbit, bebe. he was given to hannah by one of my friends when she was less than a week old. bebe helped out in tuscaloosa and he was hannah's constant guardian angel, companion, and

friend, until last month when she chose to return to charlottesville without him. constant companion except for about six months when hannah was three years old when he was lost at nursery. we found bebe and now we just want to find hannah. i appeal to anyone who knows anything, please, please help us. thank you. >> thanks. >> incredible the anguish of the parents of hannah graham there out of charlottesville, virginia. you were hearing from the parent, john graham, alongside the mother, julie, who was too broken up to be able to speak

herself, but you heard mr. graham describe his daughter as someone who was a skier, a musician, a softball player, someone who likes to help people. he also talked about feeling very overwhelmed and thanking so many people, the thousands of volunteers who have come out to search for their daughter who is a uva sophomore. talked abhearing from a teacher who wrote a note to them seeing high school friends, university friends, members of soccer teams all coming out to look for this young woman who has been missing now for a week. just prior to that you heard from the charlottesville, virginia police chief who described feeling like they feel very confident about one of the last people to have been seen by way of surveillance tape with hannah graham, but he made it very clear that that person is not considered a suspect. however, that person voluntarily

coming to the police department to answer any questions. now they have a warrant out for his arrest. not because he is a suspect in the case of this missing hannah graham, but because they want to charge him with reckless driving. this has become a very confusing and complicated search. we are there in charlottesville, virginia. investigators are very frustrated that they don't have more. but seeing the anguish and the pain from those parents really did help paint the picture of the urgency of looking for this young lady who has been missing now for a week. jean? >> this is the first time that the parents of hannah graham have come forward and made any type of public statement and a lot of people have been wondering why. we have been hearing that they have been so distraught that maybe they just were not able to come forward. as i sat in this room and saw

her parents, the mother, and the shaking she was undergoing and the inability to understand what the reality is, i think everyone was very, very touched and the country is, i'm sure, as well. one of the things that came out of the press conference today was information that we had not heard before. that jesse matthew, who is the person police are extremely interested in, actually walked into the police department right here in downtown charlottesville, virginia, yesterday afternoon. he asked for a lawyer. they got a lawyer for him. it appears he did not say anything about his side of the story. it could be because the lawyer told him not to talk. we do know that authorities found him going out of the jurisdiction at a very high rate of speed. the police chief would not confirm with me if they thought

he was trying to flee the jurisdiction. they do now have an arrest warrant for him. i was told that we are aggressively pursuing his location. if he does not surrender to us, we will arrest him. this is a misdemeanor. so you can arrest someone but you really can't hold them normally too long. >> but it also sounds like the police chief alluded to once that arrest is made, if it comes to that, then they would have a mug shot and that mug shot will assist in them being able to convey this is the person we want to talk to. it's a very curious sequence of events as it pertains to the ongoing search for hannah graham. >> and the video surveillance, i think, pretty well clearly shows him at this point. i think a key to all of this is the forensic testing that's being done right now on the car

and items that were taken from the home. they believe those results will be in tomorrow. if they find that forensic link, then i think they will have probable cause to arrest. the fact is it appears as though the only person they are looking at is jesse matthew. we heard today we believe that she left the restaurant with him. we believe that he was the last person to see her and i got the police chief to confirm that there is video surveillance of jesse matthew and hannah walking out of that tempo restaurant together. that's important information right there. >> but it's not being described that in that video that the two look like anything is happening beyond two people walking in that video. he doesn't describe that there seems to be any lack of cooperation. it appears as though they don't know each other.

but while the police chief is saying i believe and he says it with all certainly, isn't he also saying that they don't have any forensic evidence as you mentioned because the results are still out. you know, still not being provided. and that there isn't an eyewitness account there are not eyewitness accounts that connect anything with that surveillance video. >> i think they do have eyewitness accounts. i think they do have people who have told them what they believe they saw. but friday night they asked for more people to come forward at the very last critical moments to come and talk to them. today we saw the car. we saw the car on a big projection screen in here broadcast to charlottesville and the country because they want people to see if they saw that car and saw who was driving in that car, who was in that car. yes, they want more information

in that area, but i think they must have something at this point to definitively believe she got in that car. >> he sounds awfully confident but all of those details are not being revealed as yet. this is a little bit of what the police chief said a bit ago. >> i looked closer and she's walking with a man. i believe that man was jesse matthew. i really do. i believe jesse matthew and hannah found their selves at the tempo restaurant. i believe that. eyewitnesss told us that. and i believe hannah graham left the restaurant with jesse matthew. i believe that. in fact, i believe that jesse matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face
