Hundreds of digital billboards from Florida to Kentucky to Texas are posting the photographs of the three siblings and their white, four-door, 2006 Subaru Impreza with the New York license tag "FBE 5900," Emmett said.
The three being sought in the dragnet are Ryan Edward Dougherty, 21, sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29, and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, authorities said.

ZEPHYRHILLS - As law enforcement officers across the Southeast continue to search for three siblings on the run some residents from their old neighborhood are speaking out.
Earlier this year Dylan Stanley, Lee Grace Dougherty and Ryan Edward Dougherty all spent time living in a home at 7124 Berry Rd. in Zephyrhills. Hidden below the property is a sophisticated bunker that according to neighbors may have been the source of illegal activity.
The underground structure is made up of two 40-foot cargo containers buried side-by-side. There is also a man-made hallway leading to the bunker. The bunker also has running water and electricity.
A possible grow house? Nobody is saying for sure but an investigation conducted at the property by detectives with the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office turned up nothing illegal.
The current property owner, who did not want to give us his name, is surprised at the actions of the three suspects.
“They have good minds on them and now they are just putting them to waste,” he said of the ‘Dougherty Gang’s,’ crime spree.
The violence began on Tuesday when an officer with the Zephyrhills Police Department a speeding car. A chase ensued at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour and at least two of the occupants of the vehicle fire at the officer.
One of the bullets struck one of the police cruiser’s tires as the suspects managed to slip away. The ZPD officer was not hurt.
Later that day Lee Grace, 29, Dylan, 26, and Ryan, 21, allegedly robbed a bank in Valdosta, Ga. During the commission of that crime investigators say the trio fired high-powered weapons into the ceiling of the bank.
Billboards across the Southeast are plastered with pictures of the three fugitives. Authorities say they are armed and dangerous and they are hoping to capture them before they can inflict more mayhem.
Pastor Jon Clanton of the Grace Church of Zephyrhills used to live next door to the Doughertys.
“I couldn’t have imagined that they would be involved in what they are involved in now,” Clanton said of the three.
As the manhunt continues, friends, family, former neighbors and law enforcement are urging the siblings to turn themselves in. Public curiosity about the trio continues to increase.
On Lee Grace’s ‘Flickr,’ site she describes herself as someone who loves to farm, shoot guys and wreck cars. She also professes a love for milk and causing mayhem.
Pastor Clanton has a bit of advice for them.
“There’s only one way out for them,” he says. “Call the police wherever they are in the community and turn themselves in.”
Authorities say all three suspects are known to abuse drugs. If you have any information on the whereabouts of anyone of the Doughertys, please call 9-1-1 immediately.
