Suspect in case of missing University of Virginia student charged with abduction

Authorities investigating the disappearance of a University of Virginia student said Tuesday that the man believed last seen with the teen has been charged with felony abduction in the case and they will seek an arrest warrant.

Charlottesville police have identified Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr. as a person of interest in the case. Police searched his apartment twice since Hannah Graham vanished in the early morning hours of Sept. 13, and were seen Tuesday removing clothing from the premises.

Police have been tight-lipped about the investigation and did not specify how they determined there was probable cause to charge Matthew under the felony abduction statute, which includes "intent to defile."

On Saturday, Matthew, 32, stopped by the Charlottesville police station with several family members, after he was identified by police on surveillance video that included Graham, and asked for a lawyer, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said. More
