Hall County authorities are asking for the public’s help finding a vehicle possibly connected to the death last month of a Gainesville teenager.
Hannah Truelove’s body was found near Lake Lanier on Aug. 24, the day after her mother had reported her missing and 12 days after the 16-year-old had posted a message on Twitter saying that she felt she was being pursued by a stalker.
Her family has been tormented in the two weeks since her death.
“It’s just so devastating. She’s my little baby,” her father, Jeff Truelove, told Channel 2 Action News.
Friday, Hall County Sheriff’s Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks said investigators are looking for a late 1990s- to early 2000s-model four-door passenger car, possibly a Chevrolet or Dodge, that may have been seen the evening of Aug. 23 in the area of the Lake Lanier Club Apartments, where Truelove lived.
“The car is light silver in color, with substantial front end damage and a driver’s door that is either white or a lighter shade of silver,” Wilbanks said in an e-mail.
“Investigators believe the occupants of the vehicle may have important information that will aid the investigation,” he said.
Wilbanks asked that anyone with information regarding the vehicle or with further information about the case call the sheriff’s tip line at 770-503-3232 or the GBI tip line at 800-597-8477.
