JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — Authorities have launched a nationwide manhunt for 65-year-old Earl Albert Moore, suspected of leaving a poorly crafted bomb that prompted evacuations Wednesday of the Southwest Plaza Mall in Jefferson County.

Moore, a bald man with blue eyes and multiple tattoos, is described as armed and dangerous. He was last seen in mall surveillance video with a gray mustache and glasses.

A search of Colorado court records show he served six months in state prison on a felony burglary charge out of Arapahoe County in 2004.

At the time, he used the alias Earl Albert Buchannan.

In 2010, the state filed a distraint warrant in Jefferson County in an attempt to collect $2,819 in taxes from Moore.

Photos released by the FBI Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office show Moore with tattoos of a heart and dagger, a rose-like flower and a viking face on a bicep and forearms.

Authorities urged members of the public to call 911 if they see Moore or to call the Jeffco Tip Line at 303-271-5615 if they have information regarding his whereabouts.
