St. Louis (KSDK) - The FBI announced Wednesday the "Bucket List Bandit" is being featured on digital billboards across the country, including two along Interstate 70 near Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.

The "Bucket List Bandit" is believed to have robbed nine banks across the United States since mid-June.

Last week authorities believe the suspect robbed the Lindell Bank in O'Fallon, Missouri.

The man has also robbed banks in Arvada, Colorado; Flagstaff, Arizona; Pocatello, Idaho; Roy, Utah; Winston-Salem, North Carolina; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Bloomington, Illinois; Columbia, Missouri; and O'Fallon, Missouri.

The suspect is described as a white male between 55 and 60-years-old, standing between 5'6" and 6'2" tall with a thin build. He also has a mustache and wears glasses.

The FBI says during each robbery he entered the bank alone, and presents a teller with a demand note. He has also been known to carry a black, zippered portfolio.

He has typically been seen wearing jeans and a blue polo or blue t-shirt.

The suspect has been seen in a black compact SUV that may be a Chevrolet Captiva or similar vehicle with a silver rack on the roof.

Authorities have taken to call the suspect the "Bucket List Bandit" because he allegedly told a teller during one out-of-state bank robbery that he only had four months left to live.

Anyone with information regarding the incidents or identity of the suspect should contact the FBI at 314-589-2500.
