The FBI and Utah Department of Public Safety have identified a person of interest, whose name remains undisclosed, and have released new surveillance images and videos to the public, offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

The case has drawn national attention, underscoring the deep political divisions in the country.
