A man convicted of murder who escaped from a Tennessee prison has been recaptured in Missouri after more than a week on the run. Authorities say Jacob Morley, who was serving a life sentence for killing a co-worker four years ago, was apprehended around midday Tuesday near Kansas City, Missouri. Authorities say troopers used roadside cameras and a helicopter to track Morley down. Morley, 28, escaped from the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tennessee’s far northwestern corner on Oct. 25, after he slipped through a fence in his prison clothes.
