In the fall of 2014, 18-year-old Sara Graham decided to leave her home state of Texas, where she had lived with her mother and brother, and move to rural North Carolina to live with her dad.
Sara was shy, but sweet, and found a job at a local Walmart as a cashier and a greeter. She was a responsible and reliable young woman.
Sara lived with her father, Hubert, and her stepmom Connie, in the small town of Fairmont, North Carolina, very near the South Carolina border.
On the morning of February 4, 2015, Sara left her home around 6:30 a.m. for work. Her shift that day started at 7:00 a.m.
But reliable and hard-working Sara never showed up.
Around 12:15, the sheriff’s department received a call for a suspicious vehicle in a wheatfield. When they arrived, they found Sara’s white Chevy Astro Van- actually belonging to her father- off in the field near the woods.
The vehicle was locked, and there was no sign of a struggle or a crash. In fact, there was no sign of Sara either.
Searches turned up nothing, and Sara Graham was officially reported missing.
