Coweta Sheriff’s Office has released a sketch of a man seen in the vicinity of a van still being sought in connection to the Sept. 30 murder of Senoia business owner Ken Crook. Investigators hope to identify the man, described as a white male with shoulder length hair and wearing glasses.

Crook was found in his home Sept. 30, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Well known in the area, the 40 year-old was owner of Crook’s Tire Center.

Also being sought by law enforcement in connection with Crook’s murder is a white 1980 to 1991 Ford conversion van with a high roof, three large windows behind the driver’s side door and a distinctive full-size door on the passengers side. Sgt. John Lewis said Coweta Sheriff’s Office has received numerous call about similar vehicles in recent months but none of those tips have led to the discovery of the van. Investigators said the van was seen in the parking lot at Crook’s Marketplace the day of the murder.

Anyone with information pertaining to the man in the sketch or the whereabouts of the Ford van is asked to contact Sgt. John Lewis at (770) 253-1502, ext. 201.
