CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Sept. 19 (UPI) -- The search for missing UVA student Hannah Graham led police to search the vehicle and apartment linked to the "person of interest" in the woman's disappearance.

Three people were present at the apartment during the warranted search. One of them matched the description of the "person of interest" and was connected to the car searched, but they were unable to confirm whether he was the owner.
