Crime Stoppers is a community program that allows the general public to offer anonymous tips to law enforcement agencies across the state and the nation. The program operates outside of normal emergency phone numbers and standard methods for contacting the police or law enforcement agencies. This is done so that those providing information don't have to be directly involved in the investigation process.

You may also reach out directly to the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Department and Chief Deputy Stitch Guillory. While the incident was first reported in November of last year Crime Stoppers in Calcasieu Parish only published the video with surveillance photos this past Friday.
