Convicted killer escapes from Hattieville

Two years ago he brutally killed a British volunteer…and tonight Estevan Sho is on the loose. The convicted murderer escaped from the maximum-security section of Hattieville Prison Thursday night. Why the escape was not reported to the media until today is anybody’s guess–as is the location of Sho. Another disturbing aspect of the jailbreak is that Sho didn’t use a file to cut his bars or a shovel to dig a tunnel. According to prison officials, he simply used a master key to let himself out. News Five has been informed that there are a large number of keys floating around the prison and searches have so far resulted in ten being confiscated. At this point we could quote prison officials as saying that there are plans to change the locks but it would be too embarrassing. Meanwhile, viewers who may know the whereabouts of Estevan Sho are asked to contact the nearest police station. He is believed to be armed and dangerous. Sho was convicted of murdering Raleigh volunteer Anna Lightfoot as she walked on a trail near the village of Red Bank in August, 1998.
