Anyone who is helping murder suspect Craig Bingaman hide from Metro Police may face charges, police said.

An Amber Alert was still in effect this morning in the effort to locate Bingaman's 5-year-old son Donovan, who is believed to be with his father. Police said the boy may be in danger.

Craig Bingaman, 23, was being sought in the strangulation of his wife, Tiffany, in their apartment in the 5300 block of Redberry Street near Rancho Drive and Cheyenne Avenue.

Tiffany Bingaman's body was found Tuesday after concerned co-workers called police because she hadn't shown up for work. Craig Bingaman also phoned police and said he had hurt his wife.

Police believe Craig and Donovan Bingaman are still in the Las Vegas area and may be staying with family or friends. Craig Bingaman does not have a car, police said.

If police find that anyone was helping him hide, police may file aiding and abetting charges, police said.

Bingaman is described as white, 6-foot-1 and 150 pounds. He has short hair and is missing several teeth. He has a tattoo of a boy with baggy pants on his lower left arm.

Donovan Bingaman is 4 feet tall and 70 pounds. He has blond hair, blue eyes and was last seen wearing matching blue shorts and shirt and sandals.

Anyone with information on them is asked to call the missing persons section at 229-2907, the homicide section at 229-3521 or Crime Stoppers at 385-5555.
