Just speculating, could the prisoner be the adopted out son of the officer? The ages work.
What? Where did you get this information. I don't recall anything on the thread. Do you have a link? Thanks.
@Tazzie said "just speculating," so no link because it's a guess, not a fact.
IMO I don't think this adoption scenario is likely. For one, they wouldn't have the same last name, and if anyone at all at the prison knew about such a scenario, she wouldn't have been in any supervisory position over his incarceration.
This reminds me very much of the prison worker in upstate NY, which another poster linked to earlier.
If I recall correctly, the woman was married, older, and worked in the prison laundry. She had a sexual relationship with one (or was it both)? of the prisoners, did hide a file or weapon or something in some food, then they carved a tunnel that led them to a sewer drain or something somewhere outside the prison and fled. Two guys.
Naturally, the forlorn prison worker believed the one guy who said he loved her and all that, and she expected to live happily ever after. She was abandoned. At least they didn't kill her. I recall her lover was killed and the other captured near the Canadian border. Her husband forgave her.
So it does happen from time to time, women who've seen and heard it all from prisoners can still fall for their shtick.
In this case, IMO even though LE does say evidence points to her involvement, I think she's still a victim. She was experienced enough to know not to be charmed by a violent criminal, but apparently it happened. I think she may be in danger. Or they may be far, far away by now and still together.
I hope no harm comes to anyone else and they are soon captured.
