Convicted murderer who escaped through Tennessee prison fence is captured, officials say
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation had warned Morley was dangerous after his Oct. 25 escape from a life sentence at Northwest Correctional Complex.
- Jacob Allen Morley, a 28-year-old convicted murderer, was captured near Kansas City, Missouri, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed. The fugitive had escaped from a Tennessee prison over a week prior.
- Morley escaped from the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, Tenn., on Oct. 25, where he was serving a life sentence for first-degree murder. The escape triggered a multi-state manhunt.
- Before his capture, the TBI placed Morley on the state's Most Wanted list and warned he should be considered dangerous. He reportedly traveled through Illinois during his flight.
- The Missouri State Highway Patrol took Morley into custody, ending the manhunt that began after his departure from the Tennessee prison facility. No injuries were reported during the apprehension.
- Beyond his first-degree murder conviction, Morley faced additional charges including aggravated burglary, tampering with evidence, evading arrest, and vandalism. His comprehensive criminal record underscored the severity of the escape.
