Police: Murderer bragged about escape
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (UPI) -- Police in Bakersfield, Calif., say a convicted murderer who escaped from prison was caught after publicly bragging about being on "America's Most Wanted." Malcolm Kysor, 53, who escaped from the State Correctional Institution Albion in Pennsylvania by hiding among food scraps in an oversized trash can Nov. 25, was heard by a passerby Saturday while talking to people in downtown Bakersfield's Saunders Park, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Monday. The passerby heard Kysor say he was a wanted fugitive from Pennsylvania and mentioned he was featured on a segment of Fox's "America's Most Wanted." The unidentified person relayed the information to on-call firefighters at a nearby fire house and officials there phoned police. Officers said they questioned a man fitting the description given by the passerby and he gave them a name that was known to be an alias used by Kysor. He was arrested without incident. Kysor, who prior to his escape was serving a life sentence for beating a man to death with a golf club in 1981, has been charged with escape and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. He was being held at California's Kern County Jail. Copyright 2008 by United Press International
