We have conducted canine tracks, we have had search warrants trying to find him.”

The Sheriff has urged the public to practice extreme vigilance in both helping authorities track down the suspect and maintaining personal safety.

“I cannot overemphasize how dangerous this suspect is,” Morgan said. “Do not — I repeat, do not — in any way attempt to contact or have contact with Mr. Boyette. Get on your telephone and notify law enforcement. Citizens are not equipped to deal with this.”
