18-year-old Sara Graham hasn’t been seen since February 4, 2015. Her family said she left their home in Fairmount, North Carolina, early that morning to go to work. She never arrived. Hours later, her van was found abandoned in a field along East McDonald Road.

The FBI and the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office have followed hundreds of leads and interviewed dozens of people. FBI Special Agent Smith has been investigating her disappearance from the very beginning.

Special Agent Smith: "Everything we've learned about Sarah tells us that she did not take off on her own, she’s responsible. She had a job at Wal-Mart and was considered a dependable employee. Sara was making friends and was happy with her new life in North Carolina. While most of the people we have interviewed have been cooperative, we believe someone very close to her isn’t telling us everything they know. We have uncovered a lot of evidence, but we still need that missing piece to bring Sara home. Now is the time to come forward and help."

At the time of her disappearance, Sarah had short dark brown hair, wore glasses and had braces. She is Native American five feet, four inches tall and weighed 160 pounds. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to Sarah's location. Call FBI Charlotte at 704-672-6100 or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
