Missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham

The charges against the man accused of kidnapping University of Virginia student Hannah Graham have been upgraded to include first-degree murder in the death of the 18-year-old.

Jesse Matthew Jr. was arrested in September and charged with abduction with intent to defile after the disappearance of the student after a night of partying. The first-degree murder charge and the abduction with intent to defile each carry a maximum penalty of 20 years to life.

Graham's skeletal remains were found in October in a field about 10 miles away from Charlottesville, where she was last seen on the night of Sept. 13. (ABC News)
