According to the grandparents of missing Graford woman Leah Martin, she had been receiving anonymous threatening phone calls and they feel her search should be treated as a criminal investigation.
Martin, who has a 2-year-old daughter, attended the Graham High School graduation ceremony the evening of Friday, May 29, and was last heard from via a telephone call that evening around 9 p.m.
The threatening calls Martin received came from an unknown number, Shaffer said.
“She had been getting some anonymous threats,” Shaffer said. “Threats from calls, numbers that had been blocked.”
Martin, 22, didn’t show up for her shift Saturday at EC’s Auto Repair in Graham and was reported missing by her father, Billy Martin, Saturday evening. Her Chevrolet truck was found at the shop, and Martin is listed in the Texas Department of Public Safety’s database for missing persons as an “involuntary” case. The DPS listing also states that her wallet, phone and keys to the vehicle were not located.
The family members said they feel like GPD is treating Martin’s case as though she ran away, aren’t following up on tips they have forwarded to the agency, such as the threatening calls, and haven’t been communicating with the family.
