Police say accused Alderwood double killer is alive and slayings were well planned

September 19, 2024 by Toronto Newswire

Police believe the accused double killer is alive and hiding out in the community.

Toronto Police at 22 Division believe a suspected Alderwood double killer is still alive and their top priority is to put him behind bars.

They believe the heinous crime was planned and thought out. There is no motive as to why the two women were killed.

There has been a few sightings of the suspect, with one reported but not confirmed in Mississauga.

It has been almost two months since Joseph Ayala, disappeared from sight with police on his trail for two counts of second-degree murder after an 82-year-old woman and a 60-year-old woman in a home in the Sheldon and Silvercrest Avenues area.

The force’s top priority is arresting the suspect who has left the community in fear.

Area residents said the deceased included the suspect’s grandmother and sister.

Police believe Ayala may still be hiding out somewhere in the community and have been searching ravines, ditches, bushes, parks and lakes for the accused double killer.

Some women and seniors in the area said they do not go out at night and lock their doors due to fears of the fugitive. Many leave their lights on and pay close attention to their sheds and backyards.

Police believe the suspect is getting food and water somewhere in the community.

Police have been searching every nook and cranny in the area to find the suspect.

He is described as around 5-foot-11 with a shaved head. He is known to wear a cowboy hat, black cowboy boots, and a jacket with tassels on the sleeves.

He was a regular in the Alderwood area and once worked at a local food store.

Neighbours said police and the media have left their community which has returned to normal.

Anyone with information is asked to come forward or call 416-808-2200.
