Crawford is described as 5’11” tall and weighs 170 lbs, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He is considered endangered due to a medical condition that requires him to take medication, officials added.

He also may be traveling with another person, who investigators said they believe is a 25-year-old white man who goes by Aiden.
