PITTSBURGH, July 31 (UPI) -- Robert Crissman, 38, was captured Friday one day after he allegedly escaped from jail and killed a friend who lived near the facility, Pennsylvania police said.
Crissman, who had been in the Armstrong County jail since July 23 on a probation violation, was helping deliver inmate meals early Thursday when he walked to a nearby friend's home. A man who lives in the house went to work, but later came home to find his girlfriend, 55-year-old Tammy Long, dead in the bathroom. Crissman has a long history of drug and theft charges, but no history of violence.
