The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating an outstanding suspect named Michael Cady, 34, of McKinleyville. Cady was involved in a robbery and attempted homicide that took place on April 13 in Fortuna.

Over the past several months, HCSO investigators and agents from the Humboldt County Drug Task Force (HCDTF) have conducted an ongoing investigation into this robbery, following up with leads, assistance from community members, and evidence gathered at the scene.

Three white male adults were involved in this incident; Jackson Parrott, 44, of Scotia, was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on Aug. 22 and Christpher Overholt, 43, of Loleta, was arrested by Jackson County Sheriff’s Office in Oregon this week.

Cady is still outstanding, and efforts are being made to locate him. Deputies went to Cady’s known residence on Friday, Dec. 6 to serve a search warrant and locate him, but no one was found on the property.

This case is still under investigation. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Cady is urged to contact law enforcement immediately.
