Have you seen him?

The FBI has released new photos of Ryan James Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder and one of the agency’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives, as the search intensifies for the 44-year-old accused of running a violent international drug empire and ordering multiple murders.

The newly released images — one taken this past summer and another in 2024 — show Wedding, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs about 240 pounds, in different settings as authorities hope the public can help track him down.

The US has raised the reward for information leading to Wedding’s arrest and conviction to $15 million, with additional rewards for tips that help identify the assassins who killed a potential witness in Medellín, Colombia, last January.

Known by aliases including “Giant,” “Public Enemy,” and “El Jefe,” he is believed to be hiding in Mexico but could be anywhere in North or Central America, or Colombia.

Wedding, a Canadian national, landed on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list earlier this year after prosecutors accused him of overseeing a criminal organization that trafficked tons of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico into US communities.

He is also charged with ordering the murder of a federal witness in Colombia on Friday, Jan. 31, and the November 2023 killings of two family members in Ontario, Canada, in retaliation for a stolen drug shipment.

Wedding, who was born in Thunder Bay, Canada, competed as a snowboarder for Canada at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Authorities say he has used several aliases, including “James Conrad King,” “El Toro,” and “Boss,” and has a history of violence and international drug trafficking.

Anyone with information about Wedding’s whereabouts is urged to contact the FBI via WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram at +1-424-495-0614, or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. Confidentiality is guaranteed.
