Summary

Find Baby Ember on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FindBabyEmber/

On July 1, 2015, six-month-old Ember Graham was staying with her father, Matthew, in Shasta County, California. According to Matthew, he fell asleep around 10:30 PM, just feet away from his daughter. When he woke up just after 5:00 AM on July 2, Ember was gone. He called 911, and a large-scale search began.

A few days later, Ember’s pacifier was found miles away from her home—but there was no other sign of her anywhere.

For the last nine years, law enforcement and Ember’s family have never stopped searching. But she is still missing, leaving everyone asking the same question—where is Baby Ember?

Six-month-old Ember Skye Graham went with her father, Matthew Graham, for an overnight visit on July 1, 2015. That afternoon, he made a stop at the Happy Stop store in Anderson, California. But after leaving the store, there was an unaccounted-for hour.

Matthew and his cousin, Sara, later told authorities that he brought Ember home that evening and put her to bed. He claimed he fell asleep just a few feet away from her around 10:30 PM. But when he woke up just after 5:00 AM on July 2, Ember was gone.

Authorities quickly named Matthew a person of interest. Eight days after Ember was reported missing, her pacifier was found miles from his home. The next day, Matthew went on the run. His manhunt ended on July 13 in a fatal shootout.

Detectives believe Matthew confided in someone about what happened to Ember and where she is. They are still searching for answers.

If you have any information about Ember’s whereabouts, contact Shasta County Secret Witness at 530-243-2319 or the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office at 530-245-6540. A $10,000 reward is being offered.
