NEW HANOVER COUNTY — The Wilmington Police Department is requesting assistance in publicizing a new composite drawing.  Wilmington Police say a witness provided the description for the composite.

The man depicted in the drawing is reported to have been seen several times in the general area along Carolina Beach Road, where human skeletal remains were found on April 26th, 2008.

The man was described as a white male in his 50's, medium build and a fair complexion, between 6' 0" and 6' 3" tall, and approximately 210 to 230 pounds.

After the human remains were found in April, cadaver dogs were used on May 2, 2008 to search the heavily wooded area near Carolina Beach Road in Wilmington.

According to police, the remains in April are believed to have been two white females. The skeletal remains are currently being processed for DNA. 

Police are saying the identification process could take several weeks.

Detectives would like to interview a man who resembles the sketch to determine if he has information valuable to the ongoing investigation.

Some media outlets have reported various rumors about the discoveries. But NC WANTED has not received further information from law enforcement to validate the rumors.

Anyone who recognizes the man, or who may have seen him, is asked to call the Wilmington Police Department at 910-343-3600.
