Authorities are asking for the public's help locating an SUV linked to the abduction and sexual assault of a girl in Cody.

FBI Spokesman Dave Joly in Denver says that based on witness statements and video footage from cameras around town, the vehicle is believed to be a 2004 or 2005 white, four-door Toyota SR-5 4-Runner.

Joly says the SUV had a removable rooftop cargo box that's silver on top and black underneath when the girl was abducted. He says the box was abandoned near where the girl was assaulted outside of Cody and says it's being processed for any evidence.

Cody police say the suspect is a white man, between 55 and 60, weighing 185 to 200 pounds, with short, light hair and trimmed facial hair.
