Yury Taylor was profiled at least twice on America's Most Wanted, once in August of 2009, and again in November of 2010. Below is an AMW archive description of his case:
NorCal Teacher Wanted For Child Sex Abuse
Yury Taylor taught in the Sacramento School District for more than a decade. During that time, hundreds of students passed through his classroom. However, police say for one student who we'll call Jennifer, Taylor became much more than just a teacher.
Cops say Taylor met Jennifer's family, and soon his foster daughter became friends with Jennifer. Taylor often played chess with Jennifer's father.
However, police say Taylor seemingly used that relationship to get close to Jennifer. For years -- during the time that Jennifer was in second, third, and fourth grades -- cops believe that Taylor began sexually molesting the young girl, forcing her to have sex with him.
To make matters worse, police say Taylor told Jennifer that he was a powerful witch and warlock and would kill Jennifer's parents if she ever talked. He told her he was putting "big spells" on her and could control her. From 1996 to 1998, police suspect that Taylor abused Jennifer hundreds of times.
Cops say Taylor's own foster daughter reportedly ran away from home alleging that he had tried to rape her. However, cops wouldn't get wind of Taylor's suspected transgressions for years.
Authorities: Taylor May Have Left The States
In 2007, police brought Taylor in for questioning after Jennifer came forward. During the interview, Taylor said that he and Jennifer privately spent several nights at his house, and that she would often ask questions that were sexual in nature.
Taylor also told police that he was very interested in hypnosis and claimed that he tried to hypnotize Jennifer so he could figure out why she was asking such questions.
On one occasion, he rented a hotel room so that he and Jennifer could be alone with the purpose of hypnotizing her. He denied ever touching her or removing any clothes.
However, after the police interview, Taylor resigned from his position as a teacher -- a career he had worked at for close to thirty years.
When police questioned him as to why he stepped down, he claimed he didn't want to have his reputation ruined.
Authorities now believe that Taylor has fled the country. While his ex-wife claims that he's fled to Australia, investigators say he may also be in Canada or the Ukraine.
Thoughts? Although I'm not sure if 2007 is the actual year Taylor fled, it is the year the accusations were finally revealed which is why I put it as the wanted year. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of hope if Taylor fled to the Ukraine. I also wound not normally believe a spouse on potential whereabouts but in this case it is an "ex" wife.
But of course there's no way to know if they still had a good relationship or not. In any case, Taylor even allegedly potentially tried to rape his own foster daughter. Not incest, but still sick. This guy is very underrated as far as how dangerous he is in my opinion. UPDATE: I could find no recent articles online since our original posting on the manhunt for Taylor. As far as I can tell, he is still at large as of this update (7/21/2018), since I haven't found anything online suggesting otherwise. However, if anyone has any updates/proof-of-updates one way or the other, they are always more than welcome to let us know.
