A man convicted in the murders of two teenagers was apprehended Thursday night, nearly two days after his escape from a central Kansas prison.

Santos M Carrera-Morales was arrested at about 11:40 p.m. in Russell, Kan., the Kansas Department of Corrections said.

A DOC spokesman said an alert Russell citizen spotted Carrera-Morales and called authorities. No further details of his arrest were immediately available.

The search continues for the fourth Inmate, Eric James, serving time for aggravated robbery, burglary, kidnapping and criminal damage.

The four inmates had been transferred to the jail in Minneapolis, Kansas because of overcrowding at a state prison.  On Thursday the Kansas Department of Corrections announced that all of the inmates in the Ottawa County facility had been returned to the state prison in Ellsworth.

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 manager of the Wal-Mart in North Platte and asked him to call police.

Meanwhile, authorities in Lansing, Kansas continue their search for a escapee from the Lansing Correctional Facility, 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.

Furthmyer is serving time for a 1985 conviction in Wichita on charges of indecent liberties with a child and aggravated failure to appear.

This is not the first time for Furthmyer.  According to his prison history, Furthmyer previously escaped in 1988 and remained at large for five years.

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.
