West Virginia inmate whose escape from jail went unnoticed for nearly two days almost made it across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Todd Wayne Boyes was nabbed early Sunday in Laredo, Texas, as he tried to cross the Rio Grande into Mexico.
The capture of Boyes, 43, from Caldwell, Ohio, came after a 36-hour manhunt.
He somehow bolted from South Central Regional Jail in Charleston, West Virginia, early on Wednesday, Oct. 25, the day he was supposed to be sentenced for fleeing from police, causing bodily injury and possessing a stolen car. He faced three to 20 years in prison.
