This week, detectives were able to identify the driver of one of the three vehicles a witness said was parked or travelling on or near Old Ridge Road around the time of the 5:15 shooting.
The remaining two vehicles are a tan Chevy Blazer and a black Mercedes SUV, detectives said.
Detectives want to speak to the drivers and/or occupants of those two vehicles and anyone who may have been at the state park before 5:25 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020.

Kutt had been sitting with his girlfriend at the edge of the lake, waiting for the sun to set, when he was shot once in the back of the head, around 5:15 p.m. He was pronounced dead early Monday, Oct. 26, 2020
The shooting happened near the Old Ridge Road access to the state park, across from the marina at Lake Nockamixon.
Kutt's girlfriend (name withheld due to minor status and privacy concerns) told authorities she saw a man in an orange vest, which she described as hunting clothing, standing behind a yellow gate at Old Ridge Road, looking in their direction.
The investigation found that the distance from that gate to where Kutt and his girlfriend were sitting was 550 feet away. Police from throughout Upper Bucks County, including a K9 and a State Police helicopter searched the area and did not locate any persons of interest.
