A Van in a Wheat Field: The Disappearance of Sara Nicole Graham

Send us a text

On the morning of February 4, 2015, 18-year-old Sara Nicole Graham left her home in Fairmont, North Carolina, to go to work. She never arrived.

Hours later, her father’s white Chevrolet Astro van was found locked and abandoned in a wheat field off East McDonald Road. There were no signs of a crash, no evidence of a struggle, and no explanation for why the van was there — or where Sara had gone.

Who was Sara beyond the headlines? What do we know about her final morning? And why, over a decade later, does her case remain unresolved? We explore not only what happened, but what still hasn’t been answered.

If you have any information about Sara Nicole Graham’s disappearance, please contact:

If you do not have direct information, you can still help by:

• Supporting organizations that advocate for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women
• Talking about her case to keep public attention alive

Silence allows cases like Sara’s to fade. Awareness keeps them alive.
