Police want two Calgarians charged in a 2019 kidnapping and brutal assault after missing a court appearance.
Police say the victim met a woman online in April 2019 and agreed to meet her at a home in the 100 block of Thomson Avenue NE
When he arrived, investigators say several strangers attacked the man and held him against his will for an “extended” period.
“The individuals continued to physically and sexually assault the victim while demanding the victim’s cell phone and banking information, including cards, pin numbers and passwords,” police said in a news release.
The victim complied and provided his attackers with his banking information, who then transferred several thousand dollars to themselves.
The next day, the man’s kidnappers left the house and took him, against his will, to several locations in the city.
“Later that day, the victim was released by the individuals without his vehicle,” police said. “He then attended hospital with life-threatening injuries as a result of the repeated attacks.”
Four people were arrested and charged, including Christina Ann Schollen, 48, and Richard “Ricky” Wayne Parsons, 40.
Schollen and Parsons were absent for a recent court appearance and are now wanted on warrants.
Schollen is described as 5’3″ tall (160 centimeters) and 95 pounds (43 kilograms) with a slim build, brown hair and blue eyes.
Parsons is described as 6’1” tall (185 centimeters), 172 pounds (78 kilograms) with a medium build, brown hair and green eyes.
Police say it is unknown if the two are together.
Anyone with information on their whereabouts is asked to call police at 403-266-1234.
