Prison Volunteer and Escapee Caught at Mall
A prison volunteer and the murderer she allegedly helped escape from a Kansas prison were nabbed in a chance encounter with police, who were in a mall parking lot in Chattanooga, Tenn., discussing strategy for catching them.
The arrests of Toby Young and John Manard came nearly two weeks after authorities say Young drove out of Lansing Correctional Facility with Manard hidden in a dog crate.
Young ran a dog rehabilitation program at the prison, and a guard did not check her van because he trusted her, authorities said.
