OKLAHOMA CITY -- Authorities said they received a tip that the vehicle of a man accused of kidnapping a 7-year-old after murdering her mother was reportedly spotted around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday near SW 68th Street and May Avenue. However, investigators said they are not sure yet whether that tip was bogus.

Authorities said Lester Hobbs is driving a white 1992 Toyota Paseo with material covering the back window. The tipster reported the vehicle as having the new, different Oklahoma tag number 858BPE, but Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Spokesperson Jessica Brown said they are still searching for the vehicle with Oklahoma licence tag number 577BPW.

Lester Hobbs is accused of killing Tonya Hobbs earlier this week then kidnapping Tonya's 7-year-old daughter Aja Johnson.

Anyone with information should call 911 or 1-877-652-6237.
