State
Prison Escapee Sought
Show
Nets One Tip
In Woods Case
By Haydn Bush
Convicted
murderer Larry
Woods, who escaped from the Indiana State Prison July 9, may have been
sighted in Greensburg, Ind., Indiana State Police officials said
Tuesday,
after Woods was shown on the Fox television program "America's Most
Wanted"
Saturday night.
Indiana
State Police investigator
David Kirkham, who is handling the case, said the only tip the show
received
regarding the case linked Woods to Greensburg, which lies between
Indianapolis
and Cincinnati near Interstate 74. U.S. 421, which has its north
terminus
in Michigan City, also passes through Greensburg.
"The
Greensburg Police Department
is sending us an information packet about a possible sighting," Kirkham
said.
Kirkham
assisted the show
with information about the case, and flew to Washington D.C., the night
of the show, which was pre-taped, to handle any calls relating to
Woods.
Kirkham also furnished "America's Most Wanted" with a picture of
a tattoo that Woods' former girlfriend has. She told police Woods may
have
a matching tattoo on his chest.
The Indiana
State Police,
which is handling the criminal investigation, is still working in
conjunction
with the Indiana Department of Correction on the case. The DOC is still
conducting its own investigation through its Internal Affairs
department.
Indiana State Prison administrative assistant Dale Monroe said no new
leads
have emerged in the prison's investigation, and said that authorities
are
no longer searching the Deercroft Recycling Center, where the garbage
truck
Woods is believed to have escaped on dumped its refuse July 9.
"We're not
physically over
there, but nothing has been ruled out," Monroe said.
While the
authorities collaborate
and share information, neither agency has ultimate power over the
continuing
search, according to Kirkham.
"I'm in
charge of the criminal
investigation, while they're working on it internally at the prison,"
Kirkham
said. "They call me with leads they get from prisoners and employees,
while
I have access to computer terminals and other law enforcement agencies
that open up other avenues, like criminal history checks. The effort's
coordinated so we don't cross paths."
