Escaped Killers Joseph Jenkins And Charles Walker Captured In Panama City Beach

 

“Now that we have them in custody, we’re hoping to get something from the interviews with them,” Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey said. “We seized printers from the prisons, now we’re going to be able to throw a lot of resources at this part of the investigation. We’re already working it.”

 

A woman who answered the phone at the motel said she saw police coming and they went into room 227. After authorities left, the parking lot of the two-story motel next to Big Willy’s Swimwear was mostly empty. Authorities think the men had been in the area since Wednesday.

 

Jenkins and Walker were both serving life sentences at the Franklin Correctional Facility in the Panhandle before they walked free without anyone realizing the paperwork, complete with case numbers and a judge’s forged signature, was bogus. The documents seemingly reduced their life sentences to 15 years.
