Truck May Provide Clues in Search for 4 Escapees
A truck believed to have been stolen by four Texas jail escapees was found at an Oklahoma state park.
Investigators were checking the vehicle for evidence as they continued searching for the fugitives, said Richard Goss of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
The flatbed truck was reported missing Friday from a residence in Jefferson County and was found Saturday morning at Lake Murray State Park near Ardmore, in adjacent Carter County, Goss said.
They fled the Montague County, Texas, jail Monday after overpowering a guard with a homemade knife.
