Derrick Frierson, the main suspect in a deadly drunken-driving crash in Orlando, is being sought by police.
Authorities said Frierson disappeared after a crash that killed one person and left another paralyzed.
The investigation has been underway for four months. The crash happened at Colonial Drive and Mills Avenue in early December.
"We've been spending so many hours trying to find Derrick Frierson," Orlando Police Department representative Wanda Ford said.
Investigators believe the 46-year-old may have left the state, trying to hide from investigators so he doesn't have to face charges in connection with the death of Nitasha Bennett and injuries to Sade Butler, who was paralyzed.
Police said Frierson hit the car they were in from behind.
"He was 2 1/2 times the legal limit of intoxication, and we really just need the public's assistance to help locate him," Ford said.
Police do have some leads, but they won't say where they think he might be -- just that they believe he's out of state. They said they want to see him jailed.
"He killed an innocent person and changed everyone's life that was in that vehicle. Now, he's running from us, and he could do it again, and we do not want that to happen," Ford said.
Investigators said they believe he's out of state because no one in his family has seen him. His girlfriend and a former spouse haven't either.
Investigators said he could come back, and if he does, they want people to be on the lookout.
When they initially went looking for Frierson, police realized he gave them a false address when the crash happened. It turned out to be a UPS Store instead of a home.
