FBI Offering $50,000 Reward in Fugitive Search

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 in the investigation to find a jail escapee charged with murdering a Wake County Deputy in August 2022. Alder Marin-Sotelo escaped from the Piedmont Regional Jail in Farmville, Virginia, on April 30, where he was being held awaiting trial on federal firearm related charges.

The FBI released photos from a video jail call made within hours of his escape to give the public awareness of what he looks like now. Marin-Sotelo is a 26-year-old Hispanic male; 5 feet, 6 inches tall; 150 pounds; with brown eyes and black hair. When he escaped, he was wearing a gray prison sweatsuit, but may have changed clothes or could be wearing a disguise.

This newly released photo from a video jail call shows Alder Marin-Sotelo.
