Description and Details on Suspects from a press release provided to me by the family: Several reports confirm that the Malamutes, Cesar and Maya, are traveling with a young male between the age of 18-24 years old. His name is “Kyle,” and he was last seen wearing green pants with a “tail” attached. He has blonde hair that may have recently been shaved or may be covered by a hat with long tassels covering his ears. Kyle is believed to be temporarily residing in or near the Haight Street area of San Francisco. He also may be traveling with a young man named, “Edwardo.” [Update 4:15 pm 7/1] ***
