It's just a matter of time, they'll get caught and then get more time added on to their sentence.

My brother is a guard there and says these guys(except 1, Cockrell) were going to be there for their natural life anyways.

I travel to the Cincinnati/Dayton area twice a week and I am familiar with mile marker 59 on I-71, the place the truck was found. It's just past the Sparta/Warsaw exit (55)and just before the Glencoe/Owenton exit (62). I suspect that Sargent being from Dry Ridge, Ky drove the truck to this mile-marker, because it's less than 35 miles overland and heavily wooded to Dry Ridge, which is on I-75. I figure he most likely dropped off the other two in Jeffersonville, IN as that's where Cockerell was from. Cockerell will probably shelter Marshall, who is from near Lafayette, IN, until he's safe to travel. He probably shaved his head or disguised himself somehow. I'm sure they will get caught though, and will spend the remainder of their time at Pendleton, Wabash Valley or Michigan City, unless they commit a crime in Kentucky while out.

Joaquin, I had to laugh out loud about that. I hope they catch these guys soon. It sounds like zxvtrp has some kind of heads-up on the situation.

I am thinking someone(s) is going to end up dead before this is over. Hopefully it will be the bad guys!!!!!!!!

The Indianapolis Star has this story totally messed up. They say that Kentucky has called off the search and that the guard was killed.

I just talked to my sister in Warsaw, she said everyone is on the look out, but hoping they're out of the area by now. She said she's been pretty scared.

A couple of questions to ponder:

How do drugs get into prisons?

And why are they not stopped?

Lock and Load, folks!!! When in doubt, empty the magazine!!!!

This should be a NATIONAL news story! I mean, geez, ONE person breaks outta jail in California, Florida, Texas, New York, or any other "important" (rolls eyes and sighs) state, and it's on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX etcetera!!! These three are out there with weapons, dangerous as all get out and it's JUST a "local" or "in the Tri~state" story.

And what's this biz about KY just "watching" for them? Watching for them like a parent watches the door at 2 AM for their recalcitrant teen to come home when their curfew was at 10??? Isn't KY out HUNTING them???

Sorry, if this offends anyone, I'm just curious and the earlier headline of "KY watches............" could lead others to believe that KY is taking a lackadaisical approach to this VERY SERIOUS event!!!

These are dangerous men. Police orders should be, "shoot on sight."

My sister and I traveled to Cincinnati yesterday. We saw two cop cars around the Sparta, KY area on our way back. Guess that's why they were there...

Hi poet, It appears ZX had a heads up for sure, although he had to get in a painful position to get his up there.

Yea too bad they probably would have shot/stabbed the guy if he didn't want to give up the key too the trigger locks.

newsbrain writes:

I'm getting an ever increasing feeling that these guys are of the "won't take me alive" mindset. This won't end well.

/Just reading the signs.

frankpembelton13 writes:

This whole thing worries me. I'm really afraid these guys are going to kill someone before this is all over. I bet it ends in a shoot out somewhere. I hope not, but I bet it will.

Jerseysprung writes:

Really surprised they would attempt to break out with only 3yrs remaining on their sentences (I read that somewhere....).

The only way they could possibly not get caught would be to move to Canada or Mexico.
