A Fairfax County judge this morning ordered Jesse Leroy Matthew, accused of abducting missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, to appear in Fairfax on charges of attempted murder, abduction and sexual assault in a separate 2005 case.

Judge Dennis J. Smith signed the warrant, which will be sent to the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. The jailors will arrange to transport Matthew, 32, to Fairfax. The move should occur in about a week, according to Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney Ray Morrogh.

Graham, 18, went missing nearly six weeks ago. After walking from the area of 14th Street Northwest and Wertland Street, the second-year student last was seen on surveillance video along the Downtown Mall about 1:08 a.m. Sept. 13.

Videos released by police from various Downtown Mall businesses show a man police identified as Matthew walking west on the mall. Graham then is seen going east and the man crosses over the mall and follows behind.

Matthew and Graham later were seen together near the mall at Tempo Restaurant, where Matthew purchased alcohol, authorities said. They left about 15 minutes later and Matthew’s car was seen driving away. Police later seized his burnt-orange Chrysler coupe and searched his home.

Matthew was charged with abduction with intent to defile and arrested Sept. 24 on a beach near Galveston, Texas.

After an extensive search of more than month, authorities Saturday found human remains on an abandoned property on Old Lynchburg Road that they think could be Graham’s. They are awaiting for positive identification to be made by the state medical examiner. Authorities contacted Graham’s family after discovering the body.

Police say evidence discovered in the Graham investigation connects Matthew to evidence found in the case of Morgan Harrington, 20, a Virginia Tech student who disappeared after leaving a Metallica concert at UVa’s John Paul Jones Arena five years ago.

Harrington’s remains were found on an Albemarle County farm three months after she went missing. Her body was found about five miles away from where the remains were found Saturday. DNA evidence discovered in the Harrington investigation was directly tied to the 2005 case for which Matthew now faces charges.

Matthew also has been identified as the football player who was accused of sexual assault at Liberty University in 2002 and transferred to Christopher Newport University, where he was accused of another sexual assault in 2003. No charges were filed in either of those cases.
