Does anyone have an idea of how one can escape a facility like that at that time of night?
A picture would have been helpful information...

"...but his exact whereabouts are not known."

If his exact whereabouts were known I imagine they would have gone there and arrested him already....or not?
"If you have seen this man do not approach him but phone 911 immediately"

That is another interesting one. The past tense followed by the present.

More like, "if you have seen him, we hope you did not approach him"

I suppose what is actually meant is: "if you see this man, do nto approach him"

Better still, "if you see what you think might be this man, don't ask him to take his shirt off to look for the combinations of verifying tattoos for a more positive id."

Better still, if you are inner tubing down the river with someone who has these tattoos in the same locations on his upper body, don't panic, stay calm, and tell your mom quietly when she picks you up from your designated landing area.

Do the police ever get any reults from these type of descriptions? I mean, if he is in jail already, then more meaningful info must be available other than the type that a hooker might be able to use.
they have to keep all the doors n windows open to keep them inmates cool during this weather....probably jus strolled on out.....
Good to see the new facility was built so secure ?
How the hell do you get out of there???
Maybe he had a day pass and did not return before midnight.
why do people make stupid comments like those above before knowing the facts?
Because johnny#1 this is PG and we were all raised here to be skeptical.....By the way welcome to the sight!
"why do people make stupid comments like those above before knowing the facts?"

Because what is a reasonalbe comment to some is a stupid comment to others. So there will always be some reasonable comments and some stupid comments ..... and sometimes they are the same comment.

The we have some people who actually plant comments that are intended to be tongue in cheek ...... and there will typically one person at least who thinks it was actually intended to be a serious commnet ..... :-)

If you have been to see the same story on the Citizen site, he actually climbed out of a window. I suspect if someone had posted that on here someone would have thought that was a stupid comment as well.

So, here is another stupid comment. Who are the entire series of people involved with designing, approving, building and maintaining that buildinng that would actually allow the most classic of escape routes to work. You know the ones from the wild west movies where people climb out of windows with bed sheets tied together. Unbelievable. I see another million dollar plus contract coming up.
guard help I bet
I see him (present tense)but I didn't approach him (past tense).
yet ....
... but I may ....
... to make sure his eyes are blue .....
... if they aren't ..... it's not him ...

in which case I see someone else ....
Maybe we should put bars on the windows....I know they are ugly and will make it "look like a prison", but they just might be appropriate on a building whose main purpose it is to be secure.
Gus, do you see him or haven't you ?
I was told about this site and was quite curious about joining for interest sake. I am very surprised at the amaturish type of comments and stupid jargon that goes on. It is actually quite embarrassing to see. Especially for a public format. I feel like I am reading grade 7 messages.
What did you expect ?

A logical explanation of how a man convicted of attempted murder and kidnapping crawls out the window of a maximum security facility in the middle of the night ?

It doesn't deserve a serious response because it is such a joke.
Besides, if you want to see real sh!ttalk, go to CBC's news comments. All they do is snipe at each other.
