Authorities in Kansas were warning residents to be on the lookout for four escapees Wednesday.

A convicted murderer and another escaped prison inmate were still at large Thursday after they broke out of the Ottawa County Jail, and a convicted sex offender remains at large after walking away from the Lansing Correctional Facility.

Four prison inmates had been transferred to the jail in Minneapolis, Kansas because of overcrowding at a state prison. Two were returned to custody Wednesday, including one who turned himself in at a
Nebraska Walmart about 240 miles away.

The Kansas Highway Patrol issued a bulletin a little before 6am, urging law enforcement across the state be on the lookout for the men who escaped shortly before 5 AM.

Sgt. Gary Hovey of the North Platte, Nebraska Police Department
said Wednesday that escapee Drew Wade phoned his father, who persuaded him to turn himself in. Hovey said Wade approached the Wal-Mart manager and asked the manager to call police.

Still at large are 22-year-old Santos Carrera and 22-year-old Eric James.

Authorities are looking for a gold Nissan Altima with a Kansas license tag 649-CII.

Meanwhile, authorities in Lansing, Kansas are searching for a prison escapee, 59-year-old child sex offender Gary Leslie Furthmyer.

According to an announcement from the prison, Furthmyer escaped from his minimum custody assignment at the prison’s steam plant.

This is not the first time for Furthmyer.According to his prison history, Furthmyer previously escaped in 1988 and returned to prison in 1993.

Authorities asked anyone who has information to call 911 or the Lansing Correctional Facility at 1-913-727-3235.

Prison officials say all escapees are considered to be armed and dangerous.
