Pinal Sheriff’s office continues search for suspect in sex crimes case
Posted
The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office continues to search for a 39-year-old man in connection with a sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children investigation.
PCSO has obtained information that suspect James Ibach had access to a dark gray 2016 Ram 1500 pickup truck with the Arizona license plate “DRMULEY.”
PCSO adds that the truck has distinctive reflective stripes on the sides and rear.
Earlier this week, PCSO announced that a search warrant was executed on Ibach's residence in Arizona City, where detectives located multiple devices owned by Ibach containing hundreds of child sexual abuse material.
According to PCSO, “Ibach was tipped off to the nature of our investigation by those close to him” and had already left his residence before detectives arrived.
“He is aware law enforcement is looking for him and is the suspect in a sexual abuse and sexual exploitation investigation. Ibach poses an imminent and dangerous threat to children,” PCSO stated.
PCSO states that Ibach has many connections within Arizona, as well as all across the country, but “it is unknown at this time if he has left the state.”
PCSO is asking anyone with information on Ibach’s location or the investigation to call them 520-866-5111.
