Inmate Escapes, Captures Reported Across North America

Authorities are searching for Alabama inmate Joseph Win Wampler, who was reported missing from a Montgomery work site on Nov. 12 while serving a 16-year sentence for receiving stolen property. Elsewhere, escaped inmates Donald Buchanan and Travis Shaquann Fair were recaptured: Buchanan in Saskatoon more than a year after disappearing from a Saskatchewan prison, and Fair in Asheville two days after escaping a federal prison in South Carolina. In Mississippi, officials said Christopher Davis was caught after an attempted escape at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility on Nov. 9. Investigations are ongoing into the Saskatchewan escape and the Mississippi incident.
