Reynaldo Rapalo, a Honduran citizen whose visa had expired, was arrested Septmeber 19, 2003 after terrorizing the Miami community. He was scheduled to appear in court in February of 2006 for DNA evidence that allegedly links him to seven rapes and four attempted assaults in Shenandoah, Florida in 2003. Rapalo was housed in a maximum-security wing reserved for offenders accused of lewd and lascivious crimes.

Cops say Rapalo's escape was not noticed at first by guards. According to authorities, someone visitng the correctional center asked officials about the bedsheets dangling along the exterior walls. The facility immediately went into lockdown and guards discovered the pair climbed through a vent in the ceiling, which dumps onto a seventh-floor roof.
