Police re-launch search for person of interest

SAVANNAH, GA (June 5, 2009): Savannah-Chatham Metro Police have re-launched their search for a man they believe has key information regarding a fatal hit-and-run on Ogeechee Road back on January 11, 2009. Fifty-four-year-old Robert David Williamson was killed by a hit and run driver at around 6:30 that evening. Metro officers are reaching to Florida and nationally to identify the person of interest.

This man was captured on video just after 7:00 p.m. at the Auto Zone on Ogeechee Road, in close proximity to the crash, making a purchase. He is described as a white male, medium height and build with brown hair. He may have tattoos on his forearms. Police have reason to believe the man may have either been heading to Florida or resides in Florida and have reached out to Florida law enforcement and media to assist in the search. America's Most Wanted has also been approached to broadcast the video in an attempt to identify and locate the man.

Police narrowed their search to a mid-90's model dark green GMC truck shortly after the incident. At the time, it would have had damage to the front right side, including a broken headlight.

Anyone who can identify this man is asked to call Metro Police Accident Investigators at 912-652-6650 or CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or text to CRIMES (274637) and in the body of the text type CStop2020 plus the tip. You can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
