( CNN ) -- Police released two photos Thursday of a man they suspect abducted the mother of Baltimore Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr. from her Aberdeen , Maryland , home before she was found nearly 24 hours later tied up in the back seat of her car . The pictures , which appear to come from surveillance cameras , show a man wearing an orange and black baseball cap with sunglasses on the brim and a light-colored button-down shirt . There is also a $ 2,000 reward for a tip leading to the man 's conviction , Aberdeen police said . A reward poster described the man as 5-feet-10 , 180 pounds with short brown hair . Earlier police said he was in his late 30s to early 40s . Officials in Aberdeen say they are still looking for motives in the case and have n't found evidence of ransom demands for Violet Ripken , the mother of a baseball Hall of Famer . Ripken , 74 , was safe and resting with relatives Wednesday after a nearly daylong ordeal , authorities said . Police said a man with a gun showed up at her home between 7 and 8 a.m. Tuesday , forced her into her vehicle and drove off . She was found about 6:15 a.m. Wednesday in the back seat of the vehicle near her home with her hands bound , but she was otherwise unharmed , police said .

He also said police do n't know of any relationship between the suspect and the Ripken family . Trabert said Violet Ripken was understandably upset after the ordeal . The official said the suspect put sunglasses on the woman and they drove around all day and made stops for gas , using Ripken 's credit cards at several places . The official said the suspect made no mention of Cal Ripken , an indication that he might not have known she is the mother of one of baseball 's most popular stars . Police believe the suspect drove the woman 's silver 1998 Lincoln Town Car throughout central Maryland but they are n't sure of precise locations . Rich Wolf , a spokesman for the FBI in Baltimore , said the agency is helping local police investigate the case . The Ripken family released a statement expressing gratitude for Violet Ripken 's safe return . `` This has been a very trying time for our family , but we are grateful and relieved that mom is back with us , safe and healthy , '' the statement said .
