Graham’s case is receiving a lot of media attention in the hope she will be found quickly and safe. Police have named Jesse Matthew as the last person believed to have seen Graham, 18, and have issued a warrant for his arrest on a reckless driving charge. Police say that the disappearance of at least three other young women in the same area over the past five years is not linked to the current case.
