Law enforcement officials are suspending their search for missing 6-month-old Ember Skye Graham after six days, saying inconsistencies in her father’s story about her disappearance has made it nearly impossible to find her.
Shasta County sheriff’s officials have named Ember’s father, Matthew Graham, 24, as a person of interest. Graham, who has been arrested on a probation violation, was the last person to see Ember as she slept in her playpen Wednesday night in his Happy Valley home.
Detectives say Graham’s story about his daughter’s disappearance is riddled with holes. He told sheriff’s detectives that Ember was abducted by a stranger, but so far, investigators can’t find any “credible evidence” to support his claim.
