Residents in the vicinity of Bartlett Drive are urged to be vigilant and report any potential sightings to the authorities. As the police believe Rumbaugh is still on foot, it is crucial for locals to keep an eye out for him, especially in areas with high pedestrian traffic. The description of his distinctive attire, including a Dallas Cowboys cap, and identifying features such as the mole marks on his face, can aid in identifying him.
