The State : California Escapee Seized

A 21-year-old Alaska woman, who escaped from a Northern California prison where she was serving a 104-year sentence for murder, has been captured in a suburban Atlanta motel, authorities said. Shelley Bosch of Anchorage will appear before a federal magistrate today on an escape warrant issued by California officials. “Investigations into several states led us there,” said Winford Griffin of the U.S. Marshal’s Service. “When we approached her she tried to run away but we caught her,” he said. Bosch was imprisoned for second-degree murder in the beating death of an Alaskan widow, Mildred Landesman, 63. She, Sylvia Brown, 40, who was serving 22-years for kidnaping in Texas, and Rodney Murdoch, 38, serving five years for possession of automatic firearms in Fresno, escaped April 16 by cutting through two fences at the Federal Correctional Institute at Camp Parks, near Pleasanton.
