| By

Missing UVA student, Hannah Graham, is still nowhere to find; the search still continues until authorities won't 'bring her home'.

According to reports Hannah Graham and Jesse Matthew were last seen at Tempo Restaurant.

Surveillance footage from nearby restaurants and witness testimony places Hannah and Jesse were in Tempo Restaurant in Charlottesville, Virginia, shortly after 1 a.m. on Sept. 13, according to police.

But the owner, Brice Cunningham, said that none of the staff saw her inside.

"I notice Mr. Matthews, as I told police. They ask me for his description, I came forward and gave them the information I had," Cunningham told ABC News. "We didn't see her, we didn't notice her. And she hasn't been here -- as far as we know and the staff knows, nobody saw her."

According to a report from ABC News, "Even though he says none of his staffers saw Graham inside, Cunningham does know of one woman who was near the door who claims to have seen Matthew and Graham "leaving together." Cunningham said that woman saw Matthew "holding her with an arm around her. And she did look drunk." The sales ticket indicates Matthews had beers, Cunningham said." The sales ticket indicates Matthews had beers, Cunningham said.

If these allegations are true Tempo Restaurant might face charges; allowing 18-year old Graham drink alcoholic beverage despite she's underage. Is this is proven Tempo Restaurant owner might face a punishable by up to a year in prison and a possible $2,500 fine.

According to ABC News, Cunningham said that the restaurant's alleged involvement in the timeline leading up to Graham's disappearance is already having a negative effect on sales and his staff.

"We have a heart too. We are really affected, I am, by the desperation of Hannah -- I am. It's really saddening me," Cunningham told ABC News.

"The mood that there is at this place is jovial ... and we don't want the sadness of Hannah's desperation to carry along to us. I mean, it's difficult enough to bear to be part of it," he said.
