Tennessee officials were still searching Monday, Nov. 2, for Jacob Morley, the convicted murderer who escaped from the Northwest Correctional Complex in Lake County. Here is what recent reports establish and where they differ.
The escape
According to WBBJ, the escape was discovered the night of Sunday, Oct. 25, when a cell door window had been covered during a routine count. District Attorney General Danny Goodman Jr. said Morley was already in Marion, Illinois, before prison officials notified any law enforcement outside the Tennessee Department of Correction.
The confirmed sighting
KBSI reported that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Morley's last confirmed sighting was between 5 and 7 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 30, at a Pilot Travel Center in Marion. WPSD Local 6 reported that TBI asked the public to review dash camera footage from the area. Earlier reports, including WSMV's, described the footage window as Oct. 26, so the date has been described differently in different reports. Raw 100.5 is using the more recent TBI date, attributed to KBSI.
What the public is asked to do
WSMV reported that state officials are encouraging Tennesseans to check their properties, including outbuildings, for signs that someone has been inside. Anyone with information should contact law enforcement.
What is not confirmed
Reports have not confirmed where Morley is now. Illinois' Across Illinois Patch reported authorities saying he "could be anywhere."
