At a press conference held tonight, Charlottesville, Va. police announced that their charges against Jesse Leroy Matthew, Jr., the lead suspect in the case of missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, have been upgraded to abduction with intent to defile, a class two felony. Matthew has not been seen since speeding away from a police tail over the weekend, when he was charged by police with reckless driving.

Police also announced at the conference that they had removed articles of clothing from Matthew's vehicle, which police had searched and seized (along with his apartment), last week. Authorities did not, however, identify to whom the clothing belongs. Graham has been missing since Saturday, Sept. 13. She texted her friends a little after 1 a.m. that she had gotten lost walking home, and disappeared.
