A terrible outcome of the situation.
Now we need to apply a larger effort than was mounted to capture him, to determining the acts of those complicit in his escape. Refer to my post #48 of my concerns of how he was able to accomplish his escape, in the time available, in sight of a guard.
"(Genius he may be, but picking the black box lock, the handcuffs lock, crunchy-crunchy cutting a man sized panel in the steel mesh (even with excellent quality mini bolt cutters), all take time. Time he did not have before the driver sensed activity or the rear guard missed his head in his forward view.
This was one well organized and well financed escape plan.)"
I believe somewhere there will be evidence of material assistance in providing him with the opportunities and tools needed. There is too much done, with too little, in such a short time, on a moving bus.
Further; that when determined, those found should be charged with the 5 murders they allowed to occur. It is also on them as they turned him loose.
Just reviewing, it would seem that tracking dogs would have been directly brought to the escape scene. Certainly should have had a dog accompanying each team clearing those house's. If not, why not. A good dog would have alerted at a site he had been present in, though moved to another. Every prison has access to tracking dogs, patrol cars run at high speed, put dogs to work as soon as possible. These are questions that have not been asked nor addressed during the actual hunt.
