Authorities say there will be “more arrests” after police caught two convicted murderers Saturday who were mistakenly released from prison with the help of forged paperwork. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, along with the U.S. Marshall's Service have arrested escaped inmates Charles Walker and Joseph Jenkins, both 34, according to a press release issued Saturday evening. Jenkins and Walker were apprehended Saturday evening at a motel in Panama City just a few hours after their family members held a news conference urging the men to turn themselves in. "While the manhunt is over, there is still a lot that we do not know. I can tell you, there will be more arrests," Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Baily told a news conference Sunday. Bailey said authorities will be interviewing the two prisoners all day. "We will be backtracking to those who helped carry out this fraud and along the way we will be looking closely at anyone who may have helped harbor these fugitives." Bailey said there is “speculation” that the men paid someone $8,000 for the fake documents, but he said he wasn’t sure whether or not the person is operating inside the prison system, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
