A manhunt is under way. Montesano is in the western part of Washington state, about 73 miles southwest of Seattle.

Kravetz may be in the company of his mother, Roberta L. Dougherty, according to authorities. The mother is not listed as a suspect. Local media are reporting that Kravetz is believed to have called his mother for a ride after the incident yesterday.

Kravetz may have access to a 2005 silver Ford Focus with Tag No AEX8372, according to the “Wanted” poster.
