Authorities seeking a convicted killer who broke out of Folsom Prison last week have issued an all-points bulletin for a car his wife leased the day before the escape, a prison spokesman said. Glen Godwin, 28, became the second prisoner to escape from Folsom in 18 years when he crawled through a storm drain leading to the American River, and prison officials said they believe he had an accomplice because security bars inside the drain had been cut. Authorities later discovered that Godwin’s wife, Shelly, 23, leased a white Lincoln automobile at San Jose International Airport, about 120 miles southwest of the maximum-security state prison. Neither she nor the car have been seen since.
