FBI Hunts for Tattooed ‘John Doe 49’ in Pittsburgh Child Exploitation Probe: Public’s Help Sought

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is intensifying its efforts to identify an individual, referred to as “John Doe 49,” in connection with a child sexual exploitation investigation. The man in question appears in a video that officials believe was produced in July 2024. The FBI has released photos and is actively soliciting the public’s assistance to ascertain his identity and any potential information he may possess concerning a victim of child sexual abuse.

According to

WTAE

, the man is believed to be between 45 and 65 years old, bald, and sports a dark goatee. The national urgency of this matter can not be understated, bringing agencies to


inadvertently enlist the help of the public through a distributed set of eyes across the American landscape. Crucially, John Doe 49 is distinguishable by his array of tattoos, with at least five being visible, one of which includes the word “Dabby” on the right side of his chest.

With the resolution to find leads and divine more explicit paths to justice, the agency stands together with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the search for answers. As per a report from

Audacy

, additional tattoos on John Doe 49’s left and right forearms should make him further recognizable to the public, who might have seen or encountered someone matching his description.

The FBI has urged anyone with information that could aid in identifying John Doe 49 to reach out. Tips can be submitted through the FBI’s toll-free tip line at 1-800-225-5324 or online for those with pertinent details that could contribute to the investigation’s advancement and, ultimately, to ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable children.
