FBI offers $10K reward for ‘most wanted' man with ties to Seattle

Kamau Curnal

SEATTLE, Wash. — The FBI believes that a man on its most-wanted fugitives list has extensive ties to Seattle and might be living in the area.

Kamau Curnal, 28, is accused of driving a minor victim from Portland to Seattle as part of a trafficking operation.

The indictment says Curnal and a second man, Aaron Barnes, drove a minor victim across Oregon and Washington.

FBI agents in Lincoln, Nebraska, arrested 33-year-old Barnes last year at a motel near an airport. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to Curnal's arrest and conviction.

The FBI provided the following description for Curnal:

  • Aliases: Kamau K. Curnal, Kamau Kambui Carnal, Jr., Kamau Curnal
  • Hair: Black
  • Eyes: Brown
  • Height: 5 feet, 11 inches 
  • Weight: 185 pounds
  • Sex: Male
  • Race: Black

Curnal has been on the FBI's most-wanted fugitives list for months.

He should be considered armed and dangerous. His charges stem from criminal activity in Oregon, authorities said.
