Summary

Sixteen year old Hannah Truelove had her whole life ahead of her, but it was all taken in a night of madness. On August 23rd, 2012, Hannah was reported missing when she failed to return home. Police initiated a search but a heavy rainstorm delayed their efforts. Less than twenty-four hours later, Hannah’s body was found a quarter mile from her home, in the woods surrounding the apartment complex.

Mysterious tweets in the days leading up to her murder led many to speculate that Hannah may have known she was in danger. After investigating, police told the media that they believed Hannah knew her killer. Who it could have been, no one could guess, and for the past eight years, Hannah’s killer has remained at large.
