Knudsen identified the four victims as 59-year-old Daniel Edwin Ballie, 64-year-old Nancy Lauretta Kelly, 70-year-old David Allen Leach and 74-year-old Tony Wayne Palm.
Kelly was an employee of the bar, while the other three victims were patrons. All four were living in Anaconda.
“We have a tremendous law enforcement response here in Anaconda,” said Knudsen during Sunday morning’s press conference. “At one point yesterday we had over 250 boots on the ground that were helping out with the manhunt and engaged in trying to find this suspect. At this point our suspect is still at large.”
Knudsen said the FBI and Homeland Security are assisting local law enforcement in the search.
Brown was last seen driving a 2007 white Ford F-150 pickup with Montana license plates DTY493.
He is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 170 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair and believed to be armed and extremely dangerous.
Knudsen said law enforcement is offering a $7,500 reward for any information leading to Brown.
