Manhunt for missing inmate moves overseas

(CNS):  Police pursuing prison fugitive Marcus Manderson have acknowledged that the young escapee is now believed to be overseas. Manderson, who escaped with his father, Steve Manderson, and fellow inmate Chadwick Dale, has been on the run from HMP Northward for two months and senior investigators on the case said that there is no evidence to suggest that he is still in the Cayman Islands. DCI Malcolm Kay said that during the first few weeks of the investigation police received reports of unconfirmed sightings throughout various districts. But now, despite intensive police efforts, which resulted in the re-capture of the other two fugitives within two weeks of their escape, there is no sign of Manderson.

“No reports have been received in recent weeks, suggesting that he remains on Island, and intelligence suggests that he may be overseas,” DCI Kay said. “This is still a very active investigation and we are continuing to liaise closely with law enforcement agencies in other jurisdictions in an effort to establish his current whereabouts.”

Chadwick Dale and Steve Manderson, who were both rounded up in the district of North Side, have been charged with escaping lawful custody. Dale pleaded guilty to the charges recently and is awaiting sentence and Steve Manderson appeared in court Tuesday after being charged this week by police for escaping lawful custody.
