BALTIMORE — The FBI is stepping up efforts in their search for Roy McGrath, the indicted ex-Chief of Staff to former Governor Larry Hogan.
It's been over two-weeks since McGrath no showed the first day of his federal fraud trial.
A judge issued a warrant for McGrath's arrest, launching a nationwide manhunt.
Authorities have since searched McGrath's home in Naples, Florida but were unable to locate him.

His lawyer recently told WMAR-2 News that McGrath's wife was concerned for his safety.
A book was also released last week, which claims to tell-allabout McGrath's time in the Hogan administration.
The FBI on Tuesday initially put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
U.S. Marshals have now increased that reward to $20,000.
McGrath was indicted in October 2021 for allegedlystealing more than a quarter-million dollars in state money and spending it on personal expenses.
