"A man accused of murder in Texas is the subject of a Canada-wide warrant after illegally crossing the border into Manitoba late last month, say RCMP.
Derek Whisenand, 27, had been evading police in the United States, and sometime during the week of June 24, he snuck into Manitoba near Haskett, just north of Walhalla, N.D., the Mounties said.
They believe he then travelled to Winnipeg and may now have moved on to Eastern Canada.
Paul Podhradsky, chief deputy of the Cavalier County Sheriff's Department in North Dakota, said Whisenand's vehicle was found in the state about three kilometres from the Canadian border.
"We were able to locate tracks around his vehicle and we were able to see that he walked across the border," Podhradsky said. "It is believed he was then picked up by an individual, who ended up giving him a ride to Winnipeg."

"The Eastland County Sheriff’s Office said Whisenand is accused of killing 78-year-old Burton Duane Sanborn.
“Preliminary autopsy information reveals there was severe trauma to the head of the victim,” police said in a new release late last month."
