Manderson on the run for almost seven weeks
(CNS): Following his escape from HMP Northward with his father and a fellow inmate, Marcus Manderson remains on the run, despite the capture of the other two men. However, the RCIPS has remained tight lipped about their suspicions over the young convict’s likely departure from the Cayman Islands. Manderson (25) was serving a mandatory ten year sentence for possession of an unlicensed firearm, which in his case was a modified flare gun, following his conviction by a jury earlier this year. Having escaped with his father, Steve Manderson, who escaped for the sixth time, and Jamaican national Chadwick Dale (22), both of whom were caught in the North Side area, Manderson has evaded capture now for 47 days.
An RCIPS spokesperson said Friday that the investigation was continuing but failed to respond to questions about the possibility that Manderson is now in Jamaica.
“The RCIPS and prison service continue to work closely together on this very active investigation,” a police spokesperson stated. “The incident room is still up and running and staff follow up on all intelligence reports or sightings. Members of the public are reminded to call 911 with any sightings. The media and public will be made aware of any significant developments; in the meantime the investigation is still ongoing.”
The three men made their escape from the jail after cutting through the perimeter fences at around 9:30pm on 14 August. Dale, who is serving a six year sentence for a violent street robbery, was the first to be caught in the Rum Point area and has since been charged with escaping lawful custody. Steve Manderson, who is serving a mandatory life sentence following his conviction in the killing of a prison officer, was later rounded up in Frank Sound and investigators believed both men had been living rough.
The RCIPS lead investigator issued a warning to the younger Manderson to give himself up as it was only a matter of time before he would be captured. However, since his father was returned to custody on 29 August, Marcus Manderson has continued on the run alone and evaded the authorities for a further month. Speculationis mounting that he has left Cayman and may be in Jamaica but the police have made no comment on the suspected whereabouts of the escapee.

He is also facing two charges of crimes against facial hair.
You completely missed the point, didn't you? The point is that Snowden like young Manderson was running from the authorities in his own country so it made sense to go to another country.
Dont see any evidence of a manhunt, no roadblocks, no dogs, no images of the escapee plastered on the nightly news and on lightpoles etc……..rcip and prison staff dont seem to be concerned.
No responsibility taken or statement made by the prison director………
How can the public have confidence in the skills of the police?
How disappointing.
Cant blame him. Because with all this crime on the island now. Even the criminals are afraid to be here!
Erm, he can't be Caymanian, 11:28, we don't have any Caymanian criminals here. They are all Jamaican, brought in by the 2003 Status grants. I thought you would have knownthat.
He is Caymanian right but he did not even have a real gun it was a Flare Gun so if possession of a flare gun was a crime in the late 70s and 80s every boat owner would be a criminal. As a Caymanian criminal he did not try to kill a woman for $40.00 neither did he kill someone for a cell phone and burn them after. If given the choiceI will choose the Caymanian criminal over those that are imported any day, thank you.
Don't fool yourself; he's Caymanian/JACAN. He's Jam's problem now.
Oh get over it , he ain't on island any more, RCIPS screwed up as did HMPS, no lets move on …..
Good. He is not a tax burden anymore. The more criminals, local or other, that deport themselves, the better this place will be.
Politicians are included in the equation also.
Run, baby, run! Please don't hurt anyone.
Why would he stay in Cayman? He has a much better chance of hiding out in Jamaica than here. Well….maybe that's not quite correct. He's managed to evade the 'yahoos' we have as cops for 7 weeks.
Has his criminal father been charged over his escape and the escape of the other two yet?
Quite right. He should be charged and sent to Prison.
Assuming you have evidence of your accusation, I would suggest it is the police you need to address with your question, not the CNS readership.
Why would Manderson run to Jamaica, is he not Caymanian?
Because he can 11.28, because he can…both Cayman and Jamaica have very leaky borders..
Since there are such leaky borders between Cayman and Jamaica the authorities should ask the US Course Guard for assistance for about three months beginning now and shoot to kill any drug canoe because we know they bring in drugs and guns this way the message will go out to the culprits that this country don't mess around with smugglers.
What a dumb question.
Why would Snowden run to Russia, is he not American?
Next dumbass question?
Ding Bat! Poster 15:38 I nominate you for the Noble Prize in critical thinking, Sowden, ran to Russia because he leaked classified documents about the USA, can you imagine him running to the UK, Germany, France or even Cayman to hide as a US Citizen? Tell you what he was smarter than you to think ahead to Russia and even there is not safe.
11.54-no-one smart heads to Russia, beleive me…
