The Walton County Sheriff's Department in Florida has released new details in the month-long manhunt for Isabelle Johnson, 38, accused in the murder of Jason Coulthart, 43. Investigators believe Johnson may have altered her appearance, including her hair, and is using aliases to evade authorities.
New identifying marks released by the sheriff's office include a rose or flower tattoo on her left hand, extending from below the thumb toward the index finger. She is also believed to have an unidentified tattoo on her right ankle and a large scorpion tattoo that spans from her left buttock down her left thigh. Authorities stated that Johnson has used multiple aliases, including Jessica Elaine Bowman, Jessica Elaine Thrush, Jessica Elaine Thrash, Jessica Dowdy, "Harley," "Jessica," and possibly "Denise."
Coulthart's remains were discovered on June 25 in a shallow grave on a property in Freeport, Florida, nearly a month after he was reported missing on May 24. He was last seen leaving the College Condominiums in Niceville. Detectives developed information leading to the property where the search warrant was executed and Coulthart's body was found.
Five individuals have been arrested in connection with the case and charged with accessory to a capital felony after the fact: Michael Ray White, Kathleen Morris, Bobbi Wagstaff, Martin Leaverton, and Sandra Leaverton. Authorities allege that White knowingly assisted Johnson in evading law enforcement, and Morris admitted to providing Johnson with transportation and supplies while misleading investigators.
Walton County Sheriff Michael Adkinson has warned that anyone harboring Johnson or assisting in her evasion could face charges. Johnson is believed to have ties to Walton and Okaloosa counties in Florida, as well as parts of Georgia and lower Alabama. Investigators caution that she may attempt to manipulate individuals by fabricating stories of hardship to obtain transportation, money, or shelter.
A reward of up to $16,000 is available for information leading to Johnson's arrest. The sheriff's office has emphasized their continued commitment to the manhunt, stating, "She can keep running. We won't stop looking. We know who will get tired first."
