Williams also has numerous tattoos all over his body and gauges in his ears.
The female has been identified as Amanda Noverr, officials say she is still just a person of interest in this case.
Officials are unsure of what their relationship is.
Officials say they are both from the Salt Lake City, Utah area and they are not sure why they were in this area.
When asked about a criminal background, officials did not want to release that information.
Officials say Judge Jack Pulcher of Nueces County signed off on the arrest warrant for Williams.
A bond has been set at $1million.
Officials confirmed to Action 10 News that the two drove through the Eagle Pass port of entry with the Butler's truck and camper, into Piedras Negras on October 21st, which is the date the surveillance picture was taken.
District Attorney John Hubert said the media played an important part after the news conference on Monday, helping law enforcement determine who the persons of interest were.
James and Michelle Butler were from New Hampshire and were staying on the beach in their camper.
They checked out of a recreational facility at Padre Balli Park on October 15, 2019.
