"The father left the area and has not made efforts to turn himself in since," Walloch explained.

The 33-year-old has past arrests for drugs and assault. He has ties to Sheboygan, Plymouth and Milwaukee. He has a tattoo of a turtle with drug paraphernalia on his upper left forearm. 

"The message is for him to hold himself accountable and turn himself in," Walloch said. "It’s a very serious matter, especially when you bring into the fact that it was a strangulation."
