The FBI says the man was seen with the child in the video obtained by the FBI National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Data from the video indicates that it was created no earlier than July 2024.

“The FBI is releasing this information nationwide because investigators working on this case do not have any concrete leads as to where this individual may be at this time,” a spokesman for the FBI’s Omaha field office said in an email Thursday.

According to the report, John Doe 49 is described as a white, bald male between the ages of 45 and 65 with a dark goatee.
