The search continues for Hannah Graham, the 18 year-old University of Virginia student who disappeared last month.

Drones are now flying over farm fields and woods where public tips suggest she might be found.

Five years ago, another young woman, on campus for a rock concert, also went missing.

Police now say there may be a link between the two cases. And surveillance technology and social media led them to a suspect.
