It has been more than six weeks since a man accused of killing two Alderwood women has been on the run.
It has been more than six weeks since two women were killed in Alderwood and a brutal killer is still at large.
Toronto Police have exhausted most of their leads in apprehending Joseph Ayala, 33, who is sought for two counts of second degree murder.
“The suspect just disappeared in thin air,” as one detective described the manhunt.
The police dragnet and media attention began just before 1 p.m. on August 28 in the Sheldon and Silvercrest Avenues when the lifeless bodies of an 82-year-old grandmother and 60-year-old sister were found in a home.
Police tips have dried up in their search for suspect who killed two Alderwood women.
Officers had the home sealed off with police tape for several days as forensic evidence were collected from the scene.
For days there were dozens of neighbours and onlookers on the street observing the police activity.
Still police checks of neighbourhood parks, lakefront areas, ditches, ravines, backyard sheds and other structures proved to be futile.
The suspect has not been spotted anywhere, not even on security cameras, with his identity now well known.
Some residents have taken to locking their doors and leaving lights on at nights to stay safe.
If you see him call police.
Ayala is well known in the area and is described as a white male, 5-foot-11, with a shaved head.
Police said he is known to wear a cowboy boots, hat, a cowboy style jacket with tassels on the sleeve and black cowboy boots.
He was often seen by many in his cowboy gear walking on Brown’s Line. Many have seen him panhandling outside No Frills on Lake Shore Blvd. W.
No funeral details have been released.
If you see him call 22 Division at 416-808-2200.
