Investigators made a plea to the public in early April for help “immediately” finding him. A public plea for help to find Taypotat was also issued in February.
Police said while tips from the public did not lead to Taypotat’s arrest, they wanted to thank the public for helping in the search.
“In many cases, publicly sharing information about people police need to find does result in valuable tips,” CPS said. “These tips help investigators quickly locate suspects and ensure they do not pose a threat to the community.”
Calgary police said anyone experiencing abuse or violence in intimate relationships is encouraged to reach out for help. People can call 211 and use the Connect Family and Sexual Abuse Network at 1-877-237-5888 for sexual abuse or 403-234-7233 for domestic abuse. Victims can also contact Calgary police at any time.
