LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Two suspects accused of murdering a 62-year-old man in 2017 are still at-large and may be in the Las Vegas area, police say.

On October 2017, Las Vegas Metro police found a crime scene linking Charles Ausiello, 55, and Jolene Hibbs, 45, to the death of Daniel Rathbun.

Rathbun was found deceased in Arizona – though the crime scene was discovered in Las Vegas – days after his family had reported him missing.

On Wednesday, Oct. 26, the fugitive couple will be featured in an episode of "In Pursuit with John Walsh" on Discovery+ at 9 p.m. PST.

Though Hibbs and Ausiello might not be a couple anymore, police say they could still be in the Las Vegas area. Police describe Hibbs as 5 feet 2 inches tall and 120 lbs. and Ausiello as 5 feet 8 inches tall and 180 lbs.

Police also believe the two are drug users, so that may have contributed to a drastic change in appearance.
