Arrest Warrant Issued for Jesse L. Matthew for Traffic Violation, Person of Interest in Case of Missing Hannah Graham

An arrest warrant has been issued for  Jesse L. “JL” Matthew, the person of interest in the disappearance of missing UVA student Hannah Graham. The arrest warrant is not for his connection with the case of missing Hannah Graham, but instead  for a traffic violation for reckless driving. Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said at a news conference Sunday that Virginia State Police have issued warrants for Jesse Matthew on a charge of misdemeanor reckless driving. Police Chief  Longo went on the say, “I believe Jesse Matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face of the Earth because it’s been a week and we can’t find her. I’ve made no mistake about it. We want to talk to Jesse Matthew. We want to talk to him. We want to talk to him about his interaction with this sweet, young girl we can’t find.” 18 year old Hannah Elizabeth Graham has been missing since September 13, 2014 in Charlottesville, Virginia.

An arrest warrant has been issued for a person of interest in the disappearance of University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, but he is not being sought for anything to do with the case.

Charlottesville, Va., police said today they are looking for Jesse L. Matthew, 32, on two counts of reckless driving, because he sped away from the police station Saturday after showing up there and asking for a lawyer.

Police say Matthew was seen driving at a high rate of speed, before he evaded capture by authorities monitoring his whereabouts.

Matthew is still a “person with whom we would like to talk to about the whereabouts of Hannah Graham,” Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said.

Jesse ‘LJ’ Matthew has confirmed he met the 18-year old in Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall and bought her drinks, but says she never got in his car. She went her way and he went his. Hmm, sounds an awful lot like he just left her on the beach, doesn’t it?

According to accounts, she was last seen by her husband, Julio Lango, when she left their Delano apartment to walk to a friend’s house. Lango never made it to her friends house and did not show up for work the following day on Thursday, October 10. Court records show Julio was recently charged with spouse abuse and assault.

Erika Padron Lango is a Hispanic woman, 5-feet-4-inches tall, weighing 125 pounds, with brown eyes, long brown straight hair, and a tattoo to her right shoulder blade of “Julio.”

On Wednesday, October 9 at 10 p.m., Erika Padron Lango was last seen by her husband, Julio Lango, as he said she left their Delano apartment to walk to a friend’s house, officials said.

Lango never made it to her friends house and did not arrive to work Thursday, October 10, officials said.

“I don’t think she ever did intend to walk to somebody’s house because that was not like her to walk at that late night,” said Lorena Contreras, Erika’s aunt.

Erika is a mother of four children, aged 9 months to 6 years old.

Police said they seized the SUV belonging to Julio Lango with questionable items inside.

Erika’s family alleges that the sweater Erika was wearing and a bloody baseball bat were inside the seized SUV.

Fliers are being posted all over the south valley city of Delano. The 26-year-old mother of four, Erika Lango, has not been seen or heard from since the middle of last week.
