Law officers continue to scour the area around the Caldwell County Detention Center in Kingston, Missouri, where a detainee charged with kidnapping and rape escaped Saturday night. Brian Adkison escaped around 11:25 pm Saturday wearing just boxer shorts. (More here)

Meanwhile, investigators say a pickup truck stolen during that time frame in Kingston may mean the escapee is no longer in the area.

“Right now we don’t know for sure that Brian Adkison took the pickup truck,” said Sergeant Sheldon Lyon of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. “But it certainly is an issue that we are looking closely at and are continuing to deal with.”

“There are still deputies and troopers saturating the area and the county, but it’s just ‘wait and see’ right now.”

Sergeant Lyon says the truck is a white, 2000 model year, Ford F-350.

He says this is the first time anyone has escaped from that facility in Caldwell County.
