The capture of escaped inmate Jacob Morley has intensified as the overall reward has been increased to $17,500, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
This comes after the initial reward boost to $10,000 a few days ago.
Morley escaped the Northwest Tennessee Correctional Complex in Lake County, TN on Sunday night. He stole a white Ford F-350 and that truck was last seen in Marion, Illinois on Tuesday.
He was convicted of first-degree murder in 2022, and was serving a 67-year sentence, and is considered armed and dangerous by law enforcement officials.
Morley was also added to the TBI’s Most Wanted list, any anyone with information leading to his location are urged to call authorities and not approach.
