The man accused of hunting down, kidnapping and killing his ex-girlfriend in Morgan County after escaping from jail appeared in court Monday.
Robin Mapel was flanked by two state troopers and was in handcuffs and shackles when he appeared in Morgan County circuit court for a hearing on his murder and kidnapping charges. Police say Mapel escaped from the Montgomery County jail while working as a trustee and went to Melissa Patrick's Morgan County home, where he allegedly kidnapped and shot her.
An August 23 hearing was set for Mapel. The prosecutor says he may seek the death penalty in the case.
