The man who stabbed the baby stamp on Oregon Beach is wanted

Since a few weeks, federal nature officials have been investigating a 300-pound elephant puppy stamp several times in a beach beet in Oregon.

The seal that survived the attack has largely been restored. Researchers say they have developed a number of solid leads about the attacker – and now they ask for help from the public to identify the perpetrator.

The stabbing took place on a cold evening, March 16, between 8 p.m. and 11.30 p.m. in Neskowin, Ore., On a beach along the Pacific, said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Monday.

The seal began to heal, and in mid-April it did not show any signs of permanent effects of the stabbing, according to Michael Milstein, a public affairs officer with Noaa-Visserij.

“Young elephant seas such as these often spend time, learn to hunt and get bigger before they finally return to breeding areas in and around the Channel Islands for South California,” he said.

Around that time a team moved the seal from a busy port area to a more remote beach on the north point of the Long Beach peninsula in the state of Washington, Mr. Milstein said. It has not been given a name.

On Monday the agency released a description and a sketch of the suspect.

Witnesses described the suspect as a white man, about 5 feet, 10 centimeters long, with black and white hair and a large opening between his front teeth.

He wore a kite with thick lenses, a thin blue and light green fleece top and a layer of profile black cap with a logo with an orange excavator with four songs with the word “wood” on it, Noaa said. He also wore dark pants and lightweight hiking shoes or low boots.

The suspect was seen in a parking lot next to the bay behind a condominium building, the desk said. Officials added that the inside of his dark blue Dodge or Chrysler bus was messy and that the rear passenger window on the driver’s side was covered with plastic.
