Search for man who went missing near Wabowden in late June continues

Social Sharing Manitoba RCMP say they're still looking for a man who went missing near Wabowden, Man., over a month ago. Travis Bittern, 40, was last seen on June 27 at 9:45 a.m. walking southbound along Highway 6 about two kilometres south of the community. His family previously said he'd indicated he was heading to Kinosao Sipi Cree Nation (also known as Norway House), which is near the northern tip of Lake Winnipeg. Police said in an update Wednesday they've continued to investigate, but have been unable to locate the 40-year-old. The update said he was wearing a black t-shirt and blue plaid pyjama pants when he went missing, and that he has a tattoo of a feather on his right arm. Bittern is described as being six feet three inches tall and weighing 210 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Police are now asking anyone who was travelling on the highway near Wabowden between 9:00 and 9:45 a.m. the day he went missing to contact RCMP at 204-689-2152 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers online or at 1-800-222-8477.

Handcuffed, shirtless escapee back in custody after fleeing from Man. hospital

A man who escaped police custody in a western Manitoba city's hospital almost two weeks ago has been caught. Byron Roulette, 26, was handcuffed and believed to be shirtless, wearing grey-brown shorts with blood stains on his shoes, when he fled police in Portage la Prairie on July 24, the RCMP previously said. In an update Wednesday, the Manitoba First Nations Police Service said tips from Sandy Bay First Nation community members helped them find and arrest Roulette. Roulette was initially arrested by the MFNPS shortly before his escape, after officers were called about a break and enter involving a firearm in Sandy Bay First Nation, the service previously said. Officers found that a man had been assaulted by two other men, who then stole a truck from the house, police said. One of the assailants had a firearm. Roulette was suffering from self-inflicted wounds when police found and arrested him, police said. He was taken to the hospital in Portage la Prairie. Police said he fled as he waited for treatment.
