During the investigation, officials discovered that Graham intended to relocate to a different state with a 6-year-old boy, which violated a court order.

With the boy’s whereabouts unknown at the time, DPS issued an AMBER Alert.

Although the boy was located and the AMBER Alert was canceled Friday night, authorities still didn’t know where Graham was. Officials then issued an arrest warrant for her for interfering in child custody.

Officials have not said if Joseph Graham, the man named in the AMBER Alert with Talaya Graham, was located or if he is still on the run.

“Our Special Operations Division worked around the clock on this case to secure this child,” said Sheriff Larry Leitha. “Through their tireless work, this case has been resolved without further harm to those involved or the public.”

Talaya Graham was booked into the Kerr County Jail on a $30,000 bond.
