Sheriff Bosenko: 'Suspicious circumstance' surround disappearance of baby girl
HAPPY VALLEY, Calif. - The parents of a missing six month old are being questioned at the Sheriff's Department while search crews comb the countryside for the baby girl.
Matthew Graham woke up around 5 a.m. Thursday morning and found his daughter was not in her crib in his home on Noosha Lane in Happy Valley. He called authorities around 5:26 a.m. to report her missing. He says he last saw Ember in her crib at about 10:30 Wednesday night.
Family members say the girl has a seizure disorder and needs medication for it.
Graham's father, Wayne, tell us his son and Ember's mother, Jamie Lee Graham were married last August and Ember is their only child. Sheriff Tom Bosenko says Jamie Lee lives in Shingletown, while Matthew lives in Happy Valley.
Both Grahams are being questioned by authorities. Sheriff Bosenko says while neither one of them have been ruled out in the baby's disappearance, no one has been arrested.
Bosenko says the Child Abduction Response Team, or CART, has been activated. That is a team made up of members from various law enforcement agencies with special knowledge on handling missing children cases. However, an Amber Alert has not been issued.
"Suspicious circumstances surrounding the disappearance have led us to doubt the effectiveness of an Amber Alert," Bosenko said.
But Matthews father, Wayne, says he does not believe his son would ever do anything to harm his daughter, especially after what they have been through dealing with the baby's seizures. "He's been great with her, " he says, "He has been nothing but patient with Ember. He hasn't shown anything but love and patience and wants the best for Ember."
The Shasta County Search and Rescue team is staged at Laverne Lane and Saddle Trail in Happy Valley. They say anyone with information about Ember Graham should call the Shasta County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit at (530) 245-6135.
