Virginia State Police said Monday that a suspect charged in the disappearance of a University of Virginia sophomore is linked through forensic evidence to the abduction and murder of a another college student five years ago.

Jesse Matthew Jr., 32, was arrested near Galveston, Texas, last week and charged with abduction with intent to defile in connection with the disappearance of Hannah Graham, 18, who is still missing.

Police confirmed Monday that forensic evidence links Matthew, a University of Virginia Hospital worker, to the disappearance and death of 20-year-old Morgan Harrington in 2009.

Harrington, a Virginia Tech student from Roanoke, Va., was abducted and killed after leaving a Metallica concert in Charlottesville, Va.

3. There are a couple of other unsolved cases

in Cville that I'm sure they are looking at as well. So glad they got this guy.

4. From the beginning

I had a suspicion all along that there were some links between the two cases. I remember the Harrington case well. (I lived in Richmond then, live in Harrisonburg now. Charlottesville is sort of halfway between.) Harrington was a JMU student but disappeared from the arena on the UVA campus. Her remains were found but not her killer.

5. And to a rape at Liberty University
