CLEVELAND, Ohio - A 37-year-old Tennessee woman was found dead outside a Cleveland home last week after traveling to meet a man she had been communicating with through an online video game, according to a friend of the victim.
Police and fire personnel discovered her body covered in a sheet. Graham had brought her 8-year-old daughter with her on the trip. On July 1, the child walked into a Cleveland fire station alone. Officials would not confirm the child’s relation to Graham but confirmed an 8-year-old did arrive at the fire station last week.
“They assessed her for any medical issues that she would have. She appeared uninjured, but she had a phone number in her pocket for her grandmother in Tennessee. It’s my understanding. But in that situation we called police.
They called Child Protective Services,” said Lt. Mike Norman of the Cleveland Fire Department. Joshua LaCroix, a friend of Graham’s who lives in Franklin, Tennessee, said Graham had told him and his wife she was planning the trip to Cleveland to meet a man she had connected with through a video game. During the trip, Graham called LaCroix, saying he heard a man in the background who was angry with her.
When Graham stopped responding, friends and family grew concerned.
“She never misses a shift. No one can reach her. Last thing we know, she was in Cleveland. So like, something’s not right.
She’s supposed to be here at work and she’s not,” LaCroix said. LaCroix said he reached out to a Cleveland Facebook page for help tracking down Graham. Members of the group identified a home they believed she may have visited.
“The police were able to get to the house and, you know, discover what they discovered,” LaCroix said. “She’s just a genuine person. And she’s a good person. She’s the kind of person who will care for you without much reason to do so,” he said.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner is investigating Graham’s cause of death. No arrests or charges have been made. Cleveland police said they are awaiting the medical examiner’s ruling before potentially opening a criminal investigation.
