The man wanted for questioning in the case of a missing Viola woman, now has a warrant issued for his arrest.

Portland authorities say that Robert Abner, 39, faces 11 charges, including seven counts of rape, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, and one count each of aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department forwarded the information to Oregon authorities, where they believe Abner may be headed.

He was reportedly born in Eugene, Ore., and Sedgwick County Sheriff officials believe he has several acquaintances there.

Authorities are looking for a 1995 Blue Lexus, SC 400 Series, with Kansas tags 573 AMM. It's possible the front passenger seat could be missing.

Abner is described as a white man, 6 feet tall, 300 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has had facial hair in the past, but may have shaved and could still have several days' growth of a beard.

If you see Abner, authorities are asking you to call 911.
