An Albemarle County Grand Jury has returned two indictments against Jesse Matthew in connection with the October 17, 2009 disappearance and death of Morgan Harrington.
Matthew was charged with first degree murder of Morgan Harrington and abduction with the intent to defile. The maximum penalty for each offense is life in prison.
These indictments, handed down by the grand jury on Sept. 11, were received by the Court on Tuesday, and Matthew was served with the indictments on Tuesday.
His first appearance before the Albemarle County Circuit Court will take place on Wednesday.
The indictments result from investigative efforts over the past six years by the Virginia State Police, Albemarle County Police, Charlottesville Police, University of Virginia Police, and the FBI.
