ST. GEORGE - The LaVerkin Police Department is still looking for 17-year-old Jessi Graf.
Chief Lloyd Watkins said she was last seen at Farmer's Market wearing a yellow Farmer's Market shirt and blue jeans on Oct. 6.

Watkins said Graf was living in LaVerkin and attending Cross Creek Center, a school for troubled kids.
"On the day she went missing, she told Cross Creek she would be training to be a cashier at Farmer's and would be 45 minutes late," he said. "She wasn't supposed to be trained as a cashier."
Watkins said it was reported Graf walked outside to gather carts and never came back inside. It was about mid-afternoon when they received the call that Graf was missing.
Watkins said they think she might have left on her own free will, but they don't want to take any chances.
"We're still certainly looking for her and want to make sure she's OK," he said.
Graf's parents, Carol and Tom, sent an e-mail voicing their ongoing concern for their daughter.
"We are working with the LaVerkin police, but are looking for any help we can get to locate our missing daughter," according to the e-mail.
This is the latest information I have. As far as I know she still has not been located. I don't blame the program for this. However, I think the newspaper should be ashamed of themselves. Apparently, this last article was finally posted where it should be on A1.
Unfortunately, it was a week later. Had they put it on the first page to begin with, instead of the 3rd page when it first happened, maybe they would've had more of a chance of locating her?
Who knows what has happened to this girl?
