Manhunt launched for father of

Around 1:15 p.m., deputies received word from Sheila Graham that Matthew was missing.

ONO, Calif. (AP) — The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office has resumed its search for a missing 6-month-old baby with crews combing a sparsely populated area in Northern California.

Matthew Graham’s mother reported him missing Saturday and said she suspects he stole a pistol from her, Action News Now reported. He did not report to his probation officer on Saturday. “He is a felon in possession of a gun and should be considered armed and risky”, Bosenko said.

Graham was released from jail last week on a probation violation. He became a person of interest in her disappearance after reportedly gave inconsistent statements to Shasta County Sheriff’s investigators.

A judge ruled that he didn’t have to wear a monitoring bracelet after settling the case. He at one point had an ankle monitor, but the court ordered it be removed.

Meanwhile, a search was continuing in the Ono area for the infant after the discovery of the pacifier. The pacifier was similar to a pacifier that belonged to Ember Graham.
