FBI Searching For Man Regarding Sexual Exploitation of a Child, May Have Visited Area QuikTrip

The FBI is asking for help identifying the man in these photos attached with this article. Agents want to locate and speak with him regarding the sexual exploitation of a child. Authorities believe the man may have visited a QuikTrip gas station, possibly one in the St. Louis area.

More details can be located here on the FBI's website.

The following information was provided Monday in a news release issued by the FBI.

The individual of interest first came to the FBI’s attention in November of 2005, after a series of photographs surfaced on the internet depicting a prepubescent female, approximately 10 years old, posing naked in sexually explicit positions. The unknown male is pictured on a nearby bed watching the child. These photographs have been circulated and/or traded as child pornography among various illegal internet forums. 

One of the photographs shows what appears to be a child’s drinking cup from the QuikTrip chain of gas stations. This image led investigators to believe that the photographs were likely taken, prior to November of 2005.

A baseball cap displaying what could be the logo of a local sports team, as well as a partial image of what appears to be a telephone book, are also clues which may provide valuable information regarding the location of this endangered child. 

The man’s identity and whereabouts are unknown, according to the FBI. He appears to be an older, white male between the ages of 55 and 65 with brown eyes, gray hair, and a full beard and mustache.

Charges have not been filed in this case and the pictured individual is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Anyone with information should contact their local FBI office, submit an online tip here, or call the FBI’s toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
