Authorities In Arkansas On Manhunt For Rodney Lee Jones
Posted by Kim Nguyen, Web Editor
CLINTON, Ark. -- A Thornton man convicted of killing his ex-wife has escaped from jail in Arkansas.
Van Buren County deputies said Rodney Lee Jones, 49, escaped Wednesday, just a few weeks after he was sentenced to life without parole.
Orzona Fischer, 33, was gunned down in September 2008 in the home she shared with her new husband and the three children she had with Jones. Days after killing her, Jones was arrested in his new home in Thornton, Colo., and extradited to Arkansas.
Authorities have said Fischer was shot as she cut her new husband's hair. She was killed when a shot fired through a window hit her in the back.
Lt. Wesley Potts of the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Jones escaped during the “pre-dawn hours." Police said Jones escaped through a pipeline that leads from the jail and he cut the fence.
