Four prison employees have been placed on administrative leave after two inmates escaped from a prison in the United States by concealing themselves in a dumpster.
The Ohio state department of corrections said both men were discovered missing during a prisoner count at 11 a.m. on Tuesday.
Officials then determined the men were last seen on surveillance video inside the facility just after 8:40 a.m. Monday. One of the prisoners identified as 46-year-old James Lee has been captured.
Lee was captured by police in another state on Wednesday after police chased a stolen car.
The other escapeee, 50-year-old Bradley Gillespie who was convicted of two counts of murder and was sentenced to two consecutive 15-to-life sentences in 2016 is believed to have evaded police from the stolen car.
Police in Ohio are on a manhunt for Gillespie. Their search has involved forward-looking infrared, or FLIR, devices on helicopters, ground canvasses and dogs, and five boats in the Ohio River checking islands and the shoreline.
Following the escape, four prison employees were placed on administrative leave.
