Parkersburg Police Lt. James Stalnaker previously told Fox News Digital that the unidentified man is a person of interest.
“He is a person of interest in this investigation,” Stalnaker said. “We know that she left with him. We believe that she traveled back to her residence with him. She has given inconsistent statements.”
