Emergency Status-COMMUNITY ALERT

The University of Alaska Fairbanks has become aware of a disturbing
person who is apparently targeting young females.  The most recent
incident occurred on the morning of Saturday January 5, 2008, when an
unknown male approached a 9 year old female at a symphony rehearsal in
the Great Hall of the Fine Arts Complex.  The male asked the female to
play her violin for him in exchange for money.  The female refused and
walked away, however this is apparently not the first time this
particular male has approached young females in a suspicious manner.
The male is described as white, he appears to be in his late 20's to
early 30's, approximately 5'10-6' tall, shaggy brown hair and beard, and
with a medium build.  He is usually in black or dark colored clothing,
and when asked his name, has stated "Chris McCandless" or sometimes
"Donovan".

If anyone has information as to the identity of this person, they are
urged to please call University Police at 474-7721.  Likewise, if this
person, or anyone else, appears to be acting suspiciously, or looks out
of place, please call the above number for immediate police assistance.
