Police Issue Wanted Poster for 'Person of Interest' in Hannah Graham Disappearance

Police have issued a wanted poster to try to find Jesse Matthew, the person of interest in the disappearance of UVA sophomore Hannah Graham, who is from Northern Virginia.

Graham is a 2013 graduate of Fairfax County’s West Potomac High School just south of Old Town Alexandria.

Matthew was the last person seen with the college student, 18, at a bar in Charlottesville Saturday, Sept. 13. Graham’s parents went before cameras Sunday to talk about the nightmare they are going through after their daughter vanished more than a week ago.

Matthew came to the Charlottesville police station on Saturday accompanied by family members and asking for a lawyer after police ID’d him on surveillance video, and searched his car and apartment on Friday. But he left the station without talking to police, Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo said Sunday.

After he left the station, Matthew was followed by federal and state police, who said he was speeding in Albemarle County. They said they did not pull him over because it would have endangered others.

Since then police have not been able to find him and have issued the wanted poster. The poster notes that Matthew has contacts in Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York.

NBC-29 in Charlottesville also reports that police are searching Matthew’s apartment again Monday.
