WASHINGTON — The FBI is asking for the public's help in identifying a man who they say "may have critical information pertaining to the identity of a child victim in an ongoing sexual exploitation investigation."
The department released photos and information of the man – known only as John Doe 49.
According to the FBI, video of John Doe 49 was first recorded by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on or before July 2024.
John Doe 49 is described as being between 45-65 years old, bald and has a gray goatee. He has at least five tattoos:
- The word "Dabby" on the right side of his chest
- "197," followed by possible additional unknown text on his left bicep
- Additional tattoos on his left and right forearms and right bicep
The FBI did not provide additional details, including where the man is believed to be located or his connection to the investigation.
Anyone with information should submit a tip online or call the FBI’s toll-free tip line at 1-800-225-5324.
