Chicago FBI spokesman Ross Rice says there’s no specific information linking Moore to Chicago.

“Obviously we’re a transportation hub for the Midwest so it’s possible that he could be traveling through Chicago en route to somewhere else,” Rice said. “It’s also possible that he could be hiding here because it’s a major metropolitan area.”

The FBI is now saying the apparent attempt to bomb the Colorado shopping center is probably not related to the 12-year anniversary of the Columbine shootings. Although Earl Albert Moore has no direct link to Chicago, authorities are warning people to be on the lookout for the armed and dangerous man.

Moore, 65, is wanted in connection with the placement of a destructive device at the Southwest Plaza Mall on April 20, in unincorporated Jefferson County in Colorado, a release from the FBI in Denver said.

Moore is about 200-225 pounds, 6 feet to 6-foot-2, bald with blue eyes and a gray mustache. He was last seen wearing glasses and has multiple tattoos, the release said.

Moore uses the following aliases: John Lindzy, Earl Buchanan, Morelli Buchanon, Donald Morelli and Gary Steele.

The public is urged to call 911 or the Jeffco Tip Line at (303) 271-5615 if they know his whereabouts or have any information.
