“We’re talking to cyclists, we’re talking to joggers, we’re talking to bird watchers,” he said. “We know there are plenty of people in the area and there’s the expectation that perhaps somebody might have seen something.”

Anonymous tips can also be left with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or through its website.
