Jacob Morley, a convicted killer on the loose since Sunday, has no known connection to the small Illinois town where the truck he allegedly stole was found, the police chief there said Wednesday.“What we have seen kind of leads us in the direction that he’s not still here.
But that doesn’t mean that we’ve stopped looking,” Marion, Illinois, Police Chief David Fitts said.Morley, 28, convicted of killing a co-worker in 2022, was serving a life sentence when he escaped from Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, Tennessee, sometime before 11:30 p.m.Sunday, officials there said.Morley had stolen a work truck, and early Tuesday that truck was found behind a business in Marion, a town of around 16,000 that is around 100 miles north of Tiptonville, authorities in Marion and Tennessee said.Surveillance footage captured Morley driving away in a flatbed truck.There have been no reports in Marion of any other stolen vehicles and there was no evidence around the truck that was found, Fitts said.
There have also been no confirmed sightings, he said.For SubscribersFOR SUBSCRIBERSTrump says Alaska’s Democratic Senate candidate should be prosecuted over Dan Sullivan ballot disputeFOR SUBSCRIBERSHow California prison reforms helped free a serial rapist called ‘America’s creepiest heir’FOR SUBSCRIBERSTrump’s final campaign swing is taking on a darker toneFOR SUBSCRIBERSMel Robbins has midterms advice for youFOR SUBSCRIBERSFlorida cop charged with possessing dead man’s house had history of misconductFOR SUBSCRIBERSDHS hack exposes 40,000 employee names and undercover ICE agents, activists sayFOR SUBSCRIBERSRising diesel prices hit school districts hard ahead of the midterm electionsFOR SUBSCRIBERS‘There goes Texas’: The swing county that could determine the state’s next senatorFOR SUBSCRIBERSThey were deported to Costa Rica, but that won’t stop them from trying to come back to the U.S.FOR SUBSCRIBERSIsrael’s election has no clear winner — bu...
