Missing Person 6 Month Old Northern CA Girl

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is among a host of agencies assisting Shasta County authorities in investigating the disappearance of a 6-month-old girl.

The case involving Ember Graham was reported earlier this week, according to the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office.

Just before 5:30 a.m. Thursday 24-year-old Matthew Graham called 911 to report his daughter missing from his residence in Happy Valley.

Graham told authorities that he last saw the baby at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, and when he woke up at 5 a.m. Thursday she was missing from her crib.

Shasta County Sheriff’s investigators interviewed family members – including Matthew Graham and Jamie Lee Graham, the baby’s 19-year-old mother – and searched the area surrounding the residence where she was last seen.

The agency also deployed a multitude of various agencies, including the Child Abduction Response Unit, Shasta County Search and Rescue, California Office of Emergency Services, Redding Police, Anderson Police, California Highway Patrol, Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office, Tehama County Sheriff’s Office, Shasta County District Attorney’s Office and Shasta County Child Family Services.

An Amber Alert was not issued in this case due to the lack of information needed to meet the criteria, such as a witness to the incident, a suspect or a suspect vehicle, authorities said.

On Friday, authorities said Matthew Graham was identified as a person of interest in the case. The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office report said he had given inconsistent statements to investigators about the child’s disappearance.

That led investigators to shift their focus from the area near Graham’s home to the Clear Creek Road area – from Cloverdale Road east to Hwy 273 – also in Happy Valley.

The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office said it has increased the number of outside agencies to assist in the search for the missing infant, with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Butte County Sheriff’s Office, Napa County Sheriff’s Office, Trinity County Sheriff’s Office and Glenn County Sheriff’s Office joining the effort.

Investigators releasing a photograph of Matthew Graham’s pickup truck and are asking the public if anyone has seen the vehicle parked or driving in the Clear Creek Road area in Shasta County on Wednesday evening.

The vehicle is described as a 1990 dark blue, full-size extra cab, Chevrolet fleet side pickup with flat black paint on the side panels, black rims, no license plates and a cow bell hanging underneath the front bumper.

Shasta County Secret Witness has sent out a new reward posting up to $10,000 offered to anyone who could provide information on Ember Graham’s whereabouts or information about what lead to her disappearance.

Graham was brought into the Shasta County Jail by sheriff’s Investigators Thursday evening for a no-bail felony probation violation after he failed to disclose medication he took, pursuant to his probation terms. His probation stems from a driving under the influence and forgery conviction, officials said.

Graham has not been charged with any crimes related to the disappearance of his daughter, officials said.

Ember Graham is considered to be missing and at risk due to a seizure disorder.  According to family members, the child needs medications for her condition.

Anyone with information leading to the whereabouts of Ember Graham is asked to contact the Shasta County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit at 530-245-6135 or Sheriff’s Records at 530-245-6025.

Information also can be sent to the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit at mcu@co.shasta.ca.us.
