SAN ANTONIO – The Texas Attorney General's Office named a San Antonio man a "most wanted child support evader" this month.
John Lowry, 55, owes more than $127,000 to support his three children, according to the Attorney General's Office.
Lowry was ordered to pay $657 a month in child support, but has not paid since 2001, when he made an $85 payment.
The Attorney General's Office named Lowry a "most wanted evader" because he has the means to make the payments but refuses to do so.
But Lowry‘s list of alleged crimes against children does not stop there.
In 2003, a Bexar County grand jury indicted Lowry for aggravated sexual assault of a child, but he failed to show up for trial.
"This is a very dangerous person. Not only has he violated a child's rights, he's also been on the run for over a decade," said James Keith, Bexar County Sheriff's Office spokesman.
Lowry's last known location was San Antonio, but investigators have received information over the years that he could be in Abilene, Dallas, Houston or Libya, where he may have family.
"That's what happens in some of these cases. People get desperate. They flee. They leave the country," Keith said.
In 2007, Lowry's sister filed a missing persons report because she hadn't seen her brother in more than year.
In 2014, U.S. marshals adopted the case to launch a nationwide search for Lowry, who might be going by the name Muftah Abdullah Shebani.
"This is somebody who has no regard for the law and has no regard for making anything right," Keith said.
