Overview
- Police say 27-year-old Graham Michael Dunn abducted a 12-year-old while she was walking her dog on January 30 after luring her through a social media ruse.
- After a cellphone ping placed the girl near a Galveston hotel, staff turned over security footage showing the suspect taking her into a room, and officers forced entry to recover her.
- The victim told investigators she was forced into a car, had her hair pulled to stop her escape, and was given pills that made her feel woozy before being assaulted; she was later medically evaluated and returned to family.
- Dunn faces three felony counts, including aggravated kidnapping sexual assault and two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, and he is being held on a $500,000 bond.
- Authorities describe Dunn as a serial sexual offender tied to cases in multiple states and say he was wanted for evading arrest at SMU on January 21, with investigations continuing.
