After nearly a month, the NYPD has released a sketch of a man they want to speak with in connection with the murder of a jogger in Queens.
Officials say the man depicted above is not a suspect, but they say he was seen near the park around the time Karina Vetrano was killed.
Police describe him as being between 35 and 40 years old, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and having a medium build.
"We want to speak to this person because we feel he was there," said NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce. "This sketch was prepared by a utility worker, who was working in the area at the time and saw this individual."
The 30-year-old Vetrano disappeared while on a run in Spring Creek Park near her Howard Beach home on August 2. Her father later found her body in a marshy area.
Investigators say they have developed a DNA profile of a suspect in the case from evidence on Vetrano's body and phone, but so far, the profile has not turned up any national or statewide hits.
