"I was shocked. I couldn't believe it," said Nancy Banks, neighbor. "She was a gorgeous lady, and to find out that somehow she came here and died so mysteriously, I mean, they haven't said anything. I'm interested to find out if there was foul play."
Kalamazoo County officials could not be reached Monday evening, March 25, however, multiple media outlets in Michigan reported Hanover also went missing in March 2018 when she was living in Arizona. She was found in New York.
At the time, Hanover's mother told the media her daughter began to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder after an attack in 2017.
"I wish the family...I give my sympathies for such a horrible thing for such young person," said Banks.
