The only known suspect in the disappearance of University of Virginia student Hannah Graham was in custody Wednesday night . Jesse Matthew , who had been sought on suspicion of abduction with the intent to defile , was arrested in Galveston County , Texas . He was found on the beach in Gilchrist on the Bolivar Peninsula , according to that county 's sheriff 's office . `` We have a person in custody , but there 's a long road ahead of us , and that long road includes finding Hannah Graham , '' Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo told reporters . He declined to go into the circumstances of Matthew being taken into custody . An extradition process is under way for the 32-year-old Matthew , who is also wanted on suspicion of two counts of reckless driving , Longo said . According to CNN affiliate KPRC , deputies got a call about a suspicious person camping on the beach . One responded , and ran the license plate of that person 's vehicle . It came back as wanted , the affiliate reported . Matthew did not resist arrest , KPRC said . Earlier , Matthew 's lawyer was mum about most everything . `` I am Mr. Matthew 's attorney , '' said James Camblos , who spoke outside his office in Charlottesville , Virginia . `` I was hired on Saturday . That 's the only thing that I 'm going to confirm at this point . The family and I -- nobody is making any statements at this point in time . We might later on , but right now we are not , '' he said . His comments came one day after authorities obtained an arrest warrant for his client , who police believe was the last person with Graham . She was last seen September 13 in an area of Charlottesville known as the Downtown Mall . Investigators have been looking for her since , and in an increasingly large area . `` We 're asking for a broader community search with property owners , '' Longo told CNN 's `` Anderson Cooper 360 '' Wednesday night . Specifically , he said he wants property owners of large parcels in surrounding counties to search their land and report back . Authorities have previously searched Matthew 's apartment and car . Although they have declined to discuss the specifics of what might have been found , potential evidence was sent to a lab for analysis . According to Longo , Matthew willingly went to a police station over the weekend , when there was no warrant for his arrest . He asked for a lawyer . They spoke and then left , Longo said . Camblos confirmed that he was the attorney who met with Matthew at the police station . `` I 'm not telling you anything else at this point , '' he said . Authorities are now offering a $ 100,000 reward for information leading to the safe return of Graham , 18 , a second-year student at the University of Virginia . They have received 1,500 tips so far in the case , and are urging anyone with information to call the police tip line at 434-295-3851 . `` We 're asking every person within the sound of my voice to help us find Hannah Graham , '' Longo , the police chief , said .
