Detectives believe the man who shot Mr Wilson was aged between 20 and 40-years-old at the time, which would mean he would now be in his mid-30s to almost 60-years-old.
He was approximately 5ft 7in and was wearing a baseball cap and jacket.
Mr Wilson was shot at about 7pm on Sunday, 28 November 2004, after a man called at the family's home on Crescent Road, Nairn, and asked for him by name when his wife Veronica answered the door.
Mr Wilson went downstairs to speak to the man and was handed a blue envelope with the word "Paul" on it.
He went inside briefly and then returned to the door for a second time when he was shot.
