Authorities across southern Mississippi searched Sunday for two escaped prisoners, including a convicted murderer scheduled for trial Monday for another killing. Kenneth Moody, 26, and cellmate Scotty Thomas, 33, escaped from the Perry County Jail late Saturday by using a hacksaw blade to cut a hole through an air conditioning duct, Sheriff Carlos Herring said. They then climbed onto the jail roof and jumped to the ground. Herring said it was possible someone had been waiting in a car for the two men. Moody was scheduled to stand trial Monday for the May 1995 stabbing death of Michael Lee, 31, during a fight at a party. He had been convicted in April of two counts of murder and sentenced to life without parole for killing two other people, also in May 1995. Thomas was awaiting trial in a separate case involving his uncle's murder, the sheriff said. Authorities said both men were considered extremely dangerous. |
