Washington, D.C. – Escaped murderer, Richard Lee McNair, has a way with words. He proved it when he convinced a police officer in Ball, Louisiana, last week that he was just out for a jog and the officer let him go. What the officer didn’t know was this casual jogger had just escaped from the Federal Penitentiary in Pollock, Louisiana. McNair is still on the run.

The U.S. Marshals have turned up the heat to put McNair back behind bars by adding him to their 15 Most Wanted fugitive list and offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Authorities believe McNair, who is serving three life sentences for murder, attempted murder and burglary in North Dakota, escaped after concealing himself in a secret compartment under a pallet of mail bags and was transported on a truck from the prison to a local mail facility, where he broke out from his hiding place and escaped.
