18 year old Hannah Graham, who has been missing since September 13 where she was last seen in the Downtown Mall area of  Charlottesville, VA. Authorities are now offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the safe return of  Hannah Graham, a second-year student at the University of Virginia. Police Chief Timothy Longo stated at a press conference on Wednesday night, “We have a person in custody, but there’s a long road ahead of us, and that long road includes finding Hannah Graham.”

The man charged with abducting missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham has been arrested in Texas, police said.

Jesse Matthew, 32, was arrested Wednesday afternoon in Galveston County, Texas, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo told reporters Wednesday evening. He did not provide any details about how Matthew was arrested, or how he got to Texas. Matthew was charged Tuesday with abduction with intent to defile in the disappearance of second-year student Hannah Graham, 18, who vanished after leaving an off-campus party on Sept. 13.

“This case is nowhere near over. We have a person in custody, but a long road ahead of us,” Longo said. “We’re asking every person within the sound of my voice to find Hannah.”

The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office said Matthew was arrested on a beach in Gilchrist, Texas, at around 3:30 p.m. but wouldn’t provide further details. FBI Special Agent Adam Lee called the arrest “a positive close to this chapter of this very important case.”

According to Galveston County Judge Mark Henry, deputies received a call about a suspicious person camping in a tent on the beach. A deputy responded and ran the license plate of the suspicious person’s vehicle.

The license plate came back as “hot,” or wanted, said Henry, who was briefed on the circumstances.

Henry told Local 2 investigative reporter Jace Larson that Matthew did not resist arrest. The light blue Nissan Sentra found nearby was impounded.

The man authorities believe was the last person seen with 18-year-old University of Virginia student Hannah Graham before she disappeared two week ago has been charged with her abduction – but is not in custody, police said Tuesday night.

Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said at a news conference that officers were looking for Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., 32, after obtaining an arrest warrant from a magistrate.

“We’ve reached that point that the Commonwealth thought we had sufficient probable cause for an arrest warrant.. We obtained an arrest warrant for Jesse Matthew Jr. charging him with the class 2 felony of abduction with intent to defile,” Longo said.

Add two counts of Abduction with the intent to Defile to the WANTED poster of Jesse “JL” Matthew. Obviously, the forensic results came back from the search of Matthew’s car and home and they must have found evidence that Hannah Graham was in either or both. Also, they may have found other DNA material that would have led them to finally charge Matthew with Graham’s abduction.
