BRICKEYS, Ark., June 13 (UPI) -- A man who's been convicted of rape and murder escaped from an Arkansas prison Monday while on a work detail, authorities said.
Lloyd Jones pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in 2012 for strangling and killing a 16-year-old girl. He was on a work detail at the East Arkansas Regional Correctional Facility in Brickeys when he disappeared, officials said. It wasn't clear whether he had been working inside or outside of the prison when he escaped.
