The man was described as a white male in his late 40s or early 50s, about 6 feet tall and weighing 180 pounds. He had sandy brown, wavy hair, a moustache and brown eyes.
He was wearing blue jeans, a camouflage shirt and black boots. He had a heart-shaped tattoo on his right biceps with a name in the middle; police could not decipher the name.
