NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa — The family of a missing Coralville man reported that he sent texts indicating he had been tied up and forced into the trunk of his car.
It was Monday, June 5 when 37-year-old Michael David Graham was reported missing, according to a statement from the City of North Liberty. Graham was working at 7 Hawkeye Drive in North Liberty when he reportedly was forced into the trunk of his 2016 Volkswagen Jetta.
