WANTED By the RCMP: Emrah BULATCI, wanted first degree murder.

There may, or may not be an unwanted visitor to our town at this moment, as various news sources and the RCMP website advise that Emrah Bulatci, may be heading to the North Coast.

.

Friday morning, the news broke that there was a suspicion that the accused killer of an RCMP constable in the Northwest Territories, may be on his way to Prince Rupert, but after those early reports came out, the Rupert connection has been scaled back a bit.

.
Bulatci, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Const. Christopher Worden, who was shot dead in Hay River, N.W.T., on Saturday. So far, he has managed to elude the RCMP and other law enforcement agencies as they searched Northern Alberta trying to locate the 23 year old former resident of High Level, Alberta.

Bulatici may be traveling with a woman in a navy blue or green 2002 Ford Escape, according to the details on the latest update on the RCMP Web site.

.

Bulatci, pictured above, is Five foot three, 190 pounds, his eyebrows and hair are dyed jet black and he wears his hair in a short buzz or spiked style. He has a lengthy criminal record, most of it in Alberta. At the time of Worden's killing, he was free on bail awaiting trial on drug charges laid in Edmonton in February.

Needless to say he's to be considered armed, dangerous and unpredictable and should not be approached, if you believe you may have information of interest to the RCMP, contact the Prince Rupert detachment.

.

Preparations for Constable Worden's funeral are being arranged, the married father of one daughter, will be given a regimental funeral in Ottawa on Monday.

.

More details on the search for Bulatci can be found on the official RCMP website, with further news stories listed below.
