A California inmate who had been recaptured in Mexico following his escape has been set free by authorities south of the border, according to the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
A Mexican judge ordered the prisoner’s release, leaving his whereabouts unknown once again. The development marks another twist in the ongoing case involving the fugitive.
Officials from California’s corrections department confirmed that the escapee’s liberty resulted from action taken by the Mexican judicial system rather than any agreement or arrangement with U.S. authorities.
