Police say there has been no confirmed sighting of accused Alderwood double killer Joseph Ayala since the murders of two women five months ago.
One alleged South Etobicoke double killer is in custody and another is hiding deep underground.
It has been almost five months and an Alderwood man sought for killing two women has completely disappeared from a police dragnet.
There has been many reported sightings of 33-year-old Joseph Ayala, of Toronto, who has been on the lam since August 23 for the alleged slaying of two female family members.
Ayala is wanted for second-degree murder after an 82-year-old woman and a 60-year-old woman were found dead in an Etobicoke home.
Detectives have come up empty handed in search of the killer of two area women.
“We continue to search for Mr. Ayala,” said Toronto Police spokesperson Cindy Chung. “There have been many sightings of Ayala reported, none of the recent sightings have been confirmed to be him.”
Officers have searched for the accused in area parks, shorelines, railway tracks and remote areas without luck.
Some claim the suspect is living off the grid and hiding out in a homeless encampment.
There has been alleged sightings of the suspect walking along Evans Avenue, Royal York Road and other areas of the community. Some place him as far as Mississauga.
Long Branch double murder suspect Philip Grant was taken down by an armed police SWAT team in Mississauga.
Unfounded posts on social media claim the killings occurred after the women reportedly wanted to sell their home, and the suspect did not want to move.
Police are asking the public to continue reporting any possible sightings so they can investigate.
The incident has left area residents not going out at nights and locking their doors.
Luckily, the other fugitive killer who was one of Canada’s most wanted was arrested by a heavily-armed police SWAT team on January 8 in Mississauga.
An armed and dangerous Philip Grant, 34, had managed to evade capture for just over two years.
He was allegedly behind the January 3, 2022 killings of Minyali Wur, 24, and Chudier Reat, 20, of Mississauga, in a high-profile gun battle at an office building on Thirtieth Street.
The men were gunned down in cold blood in a facility used by many people.
A woman was also found at the scene with injuries, but she survived.
Grant appeared for a bail hearing on January 8.
