Shawn Stewart Investigation w/Composite Photo - May 17, 2009
The WV State Police are still seeking information regarding the hunting related shooting death of Shawn Craig Stewart, age 32, and are needing help in identifying the person depicted in the composite. This subject has been identified as a hunter who had been seen along the waters edge of the Charles Run cove located across from the Vandalia Boat Dock at Stonewall Jackson Lake in Lewis County, WV on Monday, April 27, 2009. These fishermen had actually spoken with this subject. During this conversation, the subject depicted in the composite had indicated that he occasionally "bow fished" for carp. This subject was subsequently picked up in a silver in color canoe by another unidentifed male subject. Let me emphasize that the subject depicted in the composite is NOT a suspect at this point, merely a person of interest. At this point, he has only been identified as a hunter in the area that the police would like to speak with in an attempt to gather additional information regarding this case. Furthermore, we are still seeking information regarding the compact truck (possibly a Chevrolet S-10 with Pennsylvania tags) that had a wooden rack constructed on the bed that would have been used to transport a canoe. This vehicle had been seen parked at the Vandalia Bay boat dock on Sunday, April 26, 2009 and during the morning hours of Monday, April 27, 2009. It is believed that this truck was being used by the subject depicted in the composite and the other unidentified male. If anyone has any information regarding the identity of the subject depicted in the composite, please contact Corporal D.L. Cayton 304-269-0500 or via e-mail at dlcayton@wvsp.state.wv.us

The physical description of the subject depicted in the composite is as follows: white male, approximately 35-45 years of age, 5'11"-6'02", this subject was described as having had a couple days growth of facial hair and was wearing a camoflauge ball cap.

Thanks for your assistance.
