(SOUNDBITE) (English) CHARLOTTESVILLE POLICE CHIEF TIMOTHY LONGO SAYING:

"I believe Jesse Matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face of the earth. Cause it's been a week and we can't find her"

Emotional words from police in Virginia as they continue the search for a missing university student.

18-year old Hanna Graham, a student at UVA, went missing early on September 13th.

Police say they believe 32 year old Jesse Matthew, seen here on surveillance video was the last person she was with, although he has not been formally charged as a suspect in the case.

Investigators say Matthew did come into the police station on his own and spoke with a lawyer. But when he left, he led police on a high speed chase and eventually outran them.

He is now wanted on reckless driving charges.

Forensic experts are conducting tests on Matthew's car that was seized late last week.
