Blue Alert canceled after manhunt for Seth Altman hits 2 weeks

MEMPHIS, Texas (KFDA) - Today marks two weeks since Seth Altman disappeared and became the prime suspect in the shooting of Memphis Police Chief Rex Plant.

Texas DPS have discontinued the Blue Alert for Seth Altman after two weeks of searching, but this does not mean law enforcement will change their aggressiveness in the search for Altman.

On Oct. 3, Memphis Police Chief Rex Plant was attempting to serve a warrant to Altman when officers say Altman ran out of the back door of the home.

He ran into Chief Plant as he was running from the house and shot him multiple times.

Altman has been on the run since that night.

Texas DPS sent out a Blue Alert shortly before 5 a.m. that Friday morning, awakening the Texas public.

Blue Alerts are sounded when a law enforcement officer has been killed or seriously injured and investigating law enforcement believe the offender poses a serious risk to the public.

On Oct. 16, DPS discontinued the alert, saying it had timed out after two weeks of searching.

Texas DPS, Rangers, FBI and local law enforcement continue to search for Altman.

Two new computer generated photos of Altman were created to show what he may look like with a trimmed beard and no facial hair.

In the two weeks since the incident happened, local law enforcement have confirmed sightings of Altman in Donley County.

We have been in contact with DPS and they say there has been no update in the investigation but continue to follow every lead.

Seth Altman has been placed on the Texas Top 10 Most Wanted list.

A $10,000 reward has been announced as part of an announcement from Governor Greg Abbott and an additional $5,000 reward has been offered by the FBI for any information leading to the arrest of Altman.

Altman is facing charges of the attempted capital murder of a peace officer.

He is considered armed and dangerous. If seen, do not approach him and call 911.
