Michael David Elliot, 40, was noted missing at 21:30 local time (02:30 GMT on Monday).
Sentenced in 1994 to life for four murders, he dug holes under two prison fences to make his escape, police said.
He was last seen at a petrol station, where a woman he abducted and ordered to drive him escaped, police said.
Elliot was said to be wearing a white kitchen uniform during his escape from Ionia Correctional Facility.
He allegedly abducted a woman outside the prison who later escaped when the convict stopped for petrol.
Response-
You rarely hear about escaped killers and when you do, you know it's a big deal. And he abducted someone shortly after he escaped. I think this guy is more dangerous than the police probably originally thought. A man who escaped prison, something almost unheard of, and kidnapped a woman sounds absolutely terrifying.
Byron Otis- That sounds positively theatrical! I would never imagine something like this happening in real life. I'm so sorry for that woman, it must have been traumatizing.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy to think that right after escaping he would even think about committing even more crimes! You would think that after spending so much time in jail he would know better.
ReplyDeletedude he's probably a psychopath (thanks tchapman and our ORBS) how can he be in jail for 20 years and immediately hurt someone after he escapes?! i hope they find him soon.
