Two convicted murderers escape from New York max-security prison using power tools and tunneling; leave 'have a nice day' note In a sensational “Shawshank Redemption”-style prison break, a pair of cunning convicted murderers used power tools and tunnels to escape an upstate maximum-security penitentiary near the Canadian border.A massive manhunt was underway Saturday after killers Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 34, were discovered missing from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, about 25 miles from Canada, officials said.The inmates made their extraordinary dash to freedom after faking out guards with makeshift dummies made out of hooded sweatshirts to appear as if they were still sleeping inside their cells. And once officials discovered they were gone, they found a note from convicts telling them to "Have a nice day!"
This is a message board, not a ouija board
David Sweat, 34, was serving a sentence of life without parole for the 2002 killing of a sheriff's deputy. Richard Matt, 48, had been sentenced to 25 years to life for kidnapping, killing and dismembering his former boss in 1997.
another part of me wonders what Richard Matt did for a living and who his boss was.
Rickerson was 76 at the time of his disappearance. His son last spoke to him in the early evening of Dec. 4, 1997, and investigators say he was kidnapped later that night by Matt and Bates. Matt had worked for Rickerson at his food distribution business, before being fired for stealing and other work-related issues. He reportedly believed that Rickerson kept a large sum of money at his house and that’s what led he and Bates to the home.
Was thinking about posting this. Part of me actually hopes they get away with it and can't be found...another part of me wonders what Richard Matt did for a living and who his boss was.QuoteDavid Sweat, 34, was serving a sentence of life without parole for the 2002 killing of a sheriff's deputy.

I preferred to think he was an IT consultant fed up with his situation.

In January 1998, a man and a boy walking along the Niagara River off Fisherman’s Park made the grisly discovery of the headless, legless torso of what appeared to be an elderly man. Several weeks later, police divers found two legs in about 20 feet of water near Tonawanda Island.DNA testing has confirmed that the torso and legs are Rickerson. The victim’s head was never recovered.

And I'm now remembering Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher. Chips, anyone?
