Snohomish County Sheriff's Sketch
In each incident, witnesses reported the suspect kept to the same routine. First, he asked for a salon tour and then pulled a gun on the salon's bronzed store clerk. Police urge local tanning salons to be on the look out.
Multiple witnesses describe the "pudgy" white male suspect to be standing 6 feet tall, weighing 200 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. What, no tan?
