John Doe 29
WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released a photo of a man who may have critical information about the identity of a child victim in an ongoing sexual exploitation investigation. The man, known as John Doe 29, is described as a male with a tan complexion, between the ages of 30 and 45, with dark hair.
“Initial images of the unidentified adult male, John Doe 29, shown with a child were first recorded by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in January of 2008,” the FBI announced. “Investigators for the FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have successfully enhanced images depicting John Doe 29 and believe they contain several clues, which may assist with the identification of the subject.”
Those images include John Doe 29 wearing a silver ring on his left ring finger, the victim wearing blue and white Velcro Nike brand tennis shoes, and the background where the images were taken.
“The individual is seen wearing a white, black, and red shirt with what appears to be a design and/or writing on the sleeves,” the FBI said. “There are no specific details linking the man to a particular state or region of the United States, and both his identity and whereabouts are currently unknown.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI’s toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).
“The public is reminded no charges have been filed in this case and the pictured individual is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law,” the FBI added.
