I found this quite amusing, they can't figure out where this guy is. This is Lee's mother institution. The whole place has been in lockdown for a few months because of a riot during which a murder was committed. Now this! I think the warden better be looking for a new job.

Escape baffles Drumheller prison staff
By MIKE D'AMOUR, Calgary Sun
A man convicted of two separate murders is on the lam -- but officials aren't yet sure if he is outside prison walls.
"We have no proof he left the grounds; we just can't find him on them," said Drumheller Institution assistant warden Bob Lytle.
Raymond Tudor, a 48-year-old who is considered dangerous, was serving two consecutive life sentences for murder when he escaped from the medium security area of Drumheller Institution, about 150 km northeast of Calgary, around 1:20 p.m. Tuesday.
"He was in the woodworking shop and asked permission to go to another area," Lytle said.
"He never came back, and by 3 p.m. the supervisor became concerned."
A full-scale search failed to find the killer, and prison officials are baffled at how he made his escape.
"There is only one point of entry and that's manned by officers who check everybody going in or out -- he'd have to climb a fence to get out of there."
The only problem with that scenario is the fence is topped with flesh-ripping razors, and there are ground and fence sensors that send an alarm if they are breached.
"He was in the most secure area of the institution and we tested the sensors -- they're working perfectly and weren't triggered," Lytle said.
"Given those factors we don't know what happened to him, and a lot of our staff are saying they don't know how he got out.
"He's the first one since 1994 to do it from that area (of the prison)."
Vomastic's son said he isn't concerned for his own safety with Tudor on the loose, but he does wonder what a cold-blooded killer was doing in a medium-security prison.
"As far as I'm concerned, this guy should have been in chains," said Dennis Orton.
Tudor has severe, visible body tremors, as well as a stutter.
He's about 5-ft.-10., 225 lb., with brown hair and blue eyes.
If you know where he is, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
