UNSPEAKABLE FINAL DAY
On the morning of her death, Hannah reached out to her family and said she "was in fear for her life" after her boyfriend allegedly physically attacked her and took her car, according to the statement shared with PEOPLE.
The family said they called the Fentress County Police Department to perform a wellness check, which was performed – and the police left without incident after speaking to Hannah and determining that she was "OK."
Hannah was later found dead by hanging with her boyfriend having called 911.
