Deputies in Laurel County charged a woman with murder after her granddaughter was killed in a crash Monday night.

The Laurel County Sheriff’s office said deputies arrested 46-year-old Melissa Worstell of London on December 1st just before midnight.

Worstell was arrested on Esquire Lane outside of London after deputies were sent to a single vehicle crash on Parker Road. When deputies arrived on scene, they determined that a 2005 Ford Mustang was traveling westbound on Parker Road when it ran off the shoulder, hit a culvert, overturned, and came to rest against a utility pole.

Investigators said Worstell tried to swallow part of a cigarette pack that had several pills inside. Deputies said Worstell told them she had taken neurotin and methadone earlier.

Investigators also said Worstell’s six month old granddaughter was killed because she had not been properly restrained.

Worstell was charged with murder, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, tampering with physical evidence, wanton endangerment, and other charges.

Worstell was taken to the Laurel County Detention Center.

Police have followed several possible leads, but were still looking Monday for a 17-year-old girl with a diminished mental capacity who has been missing for a week.

Olivia Graham was last spotted Nov. 24 leaving her house. She was supposed to go by bus to a treatment center, but did not show up. The girl “suffers from several mental disabilities and functions at a 12-year-old level,” according to Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal.

Detectives believe Graham went back to her house when her parents were not home, took money and two backpacks filled with unspecified items, and left, Hoyal said.

Police believe Graham has not taken her medication for one week and “can become violent,” putting herself and others in danger because of her mental condition, Hoyal said. Because of this, the endangered missing person alert was sent out.

Graham is 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighs 140 pounds, has shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. According to police, she could be wearing a black coat and pants and carrying one blue and one black backpack.

The teen does not have a cellphone or credit cards, Hoyal said.

She often uses TRAX stations near 2100 South, Valley Fair Mall and the Salt Lake Main Library, he said.

This is not the first time Graham has run away. In 2012, Unified police asked for the public’s help to find her. She had been staying at a friend’s house, Hoyal said, and returned home about 36 hours after she went missing.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 801-743-7000.

State police have identified the person killed in a single vehicle accident in Madison County, Monday evening.

Richard A. Tillery, 18, was driving on South US 25 in a BMW near the Rockcastle County line.

Tillery lost control of his vehicle and crossed the oncoming lane of traffic, before leaving the left side of the road and colliding with a tree. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Madison County Coroner. It does not appear that he was wearing his seatbelt and speed appears to be a factor in the collision.
