田纳西州莱克县无期徒刑杀人犯Jacob Morley越狱偷车逃逸：调查局列入头号通缉、悬赏2500美元
位于美国田纳西州莱克县 Tiptonville 的西北惩教综合体（Northwest Correctional Complex）发生越狱事件：28 岁的无期徒刑囚犯 Jacob Morley 于 10 月 25 日深夜穿过监狱周界围栏逃出，身穿囚服，截至 10 月 26 日下午仍未落网。据田纳西州惩教部（TDOC）通报，监狱工作人员 10 月 25 日晚约 11 时 30 分发现 Morley 不在，随即启动紧急点名与全监搜查；监控录像随后显示，他穿破周界围栏、身着囚服离开监狱，穿过围栏的具体方式尚不清楚。
田纳西调查局（Tennessee Bureau of Investigation，TBI）取得的监控画面显示，Morley 于 10 月 26 日凌晨约 1 时在 Tiptonville 的 Keystone Drive 400 号街区偷走一辆白色 2008 款 Ford F-350 皮卡，田纳西州车牌 138BBQV，车斗内装有一台空气压缩机，车身印有 Lindamood Planting Company 字样。距监狱约 15 英里的 Hornbeak 消防局称，其监控在凌晨 1 时 18 分拍到该车经过；该车也曾在 Troy 出现。
TBI 已把 Morley 列入该局「头号通缉」名单，悬赏最高 2,500 美元征集可致其被捕的线索，并称其「应被视为危险人物」。据官方描述，Morley 身高 5 英尺 11 英寸、体重约 240 磅，棕色头发、绿色眼睛。知情者可拨打 911、田纳西州惩教部电话 (844) 832-3463 或 TBI 电话 1-800-TBI-FIND 提供线索，官方呼吁民众不要自行接近。
Morley 因 2022 年 Carter County 的 Cody Birchfield 命案被定罪。Birchfield 于 2022 年 2 月在 Elizabethton 最后被见到后失踪，遗体数周后被发现在 Morley 住处屋下的一只箱子中；Morley 于 2022 年 3 月初在 North Carolina 被捕。他被判一级谋杀罪名成立，另有加重入室盗窃、篡改证据、逃避逮捕与破坏公物等罪名成立，2025 年被判无期徒刑。
西北惩教综合体最多可关押 1,776 名男性囚犯。Morley 是田纳西州惩教部一周内第二名逃脱的在押人员：63 岁的 Gregory Redden 于 10 月 21 日在 Nashville 一家医院接受例行治疗时挣脱手铐脚镣走出医院，数小时后被重新抓获。
Tennessee Life-Sentence Murderer Jacob Morley Escapes Prison, Steals Truck: TBI Most Wanted, $2,500 Reward
A life-sentence inmate escaped from the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, in Lake County, Tennessee: Jacob Morley, 28, breached the prison's perimeter fence late on October 25 wearing his prison uniform and remained at large as of the afternoon of October 26. According to the Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC), staff discovered Morley unaccounted for at about 11:30 p.m. on October 25 and began an emergency count and facility search; security footage later showed him leaving after breaching the perimeter fence, and how he got through the fence remains unclear.
Video obtained by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) shows Morley stealing a white 2008 Ford F-350 pickup, Tennessee plate 138BBQV, from the 400 block of Keystone Drive in Tiptonville at about 1 a.m. on October 26. The truck carries an air compressor in its bed and is marked with the name Lindamood Planting Company. The Hornbeak Fire Department, about 15 miles from the prison, said its cameras captured the truck passing at 1:18 a.m.; the vehicle was also seen in Troy.
The TBI has placed Morley on its Most Wanted list, offering up to $2,500 for information leading to his arrest, and says he should be considered dangerous. He is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, about 240 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. Tips can be called in to 911, the TDOC at (844) 832-3463, or the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND; officials urge the public not to approach him.
Morley was convicted in the 2022 Carter County killing of Cody Birchfield, who was reported missing in February 2022 after last being seen in Elizabethton; Birchfield's body was found weeks later in a box under Morley's house, and Morley was arrested in North Carolina in early March 2022. He was convicted of first-degree murder as well as aggravated burglary, tampering with evidence, evading arrest and vandalism, and was sentenced to life in prison in 2025.
The Northwest Correctional Complex can house up to 1,776 male inmates. Morley is the second inmate to escape TDOC custody within a week: Gregory Redden, 63, slipped his handcuffs and leg shackles and walked out of a Nashville hospital during a weekly treatment on October 21, and was recaptured several hours later.
