Police are searching for killer committed to a mental institution after he escaped during a field trip to the Spokane County Interstate Fair.
Spokane County sheriff's Sgt. Dave Reagan says 57-year-old Phillip Arnold Paul was last seen Thursday morning in the northeast part of the fairgrounds.
The sheriff's office told KXLY in Spokane that they were "dismayed" that the Eastern State's Hospital didn't notify authorities for more than an hour and a half after they knew he was missing.
"It appears now there was a two hour lapse from the point he disappeared from his attendant to the sheriff's office was notified of his escape and obviously that's a concern to us," Sgt. Reagan told KXLY. "We're concerned that we were not aware that people of his criminal history were being brought to the fair for day trips. As a courtesy we would have liked to have been notified ahead of time."

Yep. My first thought. Who is the liberal idiot that took Hannibal to the frickin fair ?
Insane times.
What in the world...The guy killed an old lady in 1987 and buried her body in her garden. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity (he claimed she was a witch) and committed. He's received nothing but free room and board and favorable treatment since then. What gives? Who is he related to? What does he have on somebody?
I wonder what other little gems they took on the trip.
Probably some 5'2" 105 pound woman armed with a lipstick size container of pepper spray and a police whistle.
Scrolled down this thread just waiting for an intrepid FReeper to post something related to OFOTCN but the logos were f’n great!
Not taking away for the severity of the current situation, but one of the funniest movies ever made was called “The Dream Team”, starring Michael Keaton, Christopher Lloyd and Peter Boyle about a group of patients at a psychiatric hospital who go on a field trip to Yankee Stadium. On the way they lose their escort and end up in New York left to deal with their own devices.

ROFLOLOL - Great Picture!
LOL
He was allowed to attent community college, and then have overnight visit home. He has escaped before. This is a disgrace.
Really! Because they are all nuts too!
Whatever pills he’s on that counteract the “voices in his head” are probably going to wear off in a day or so. Things should get very interesting at that point if he’s still on the loose.
I’m sure there’s a perfectly good reason why this type of prisoner reform didn’t quite go as planned...
They are not mutually exclusive.
I know he sounds crazy but so did Dr. Van Gelder. Maybe we should hear him out.

Would YOU be in a hurry to make a call which would require you to explain why you took an insane killer on a field trip to the state fair?
Liberalism, a mental disorder.

Hope he got a chance to eat some cotton candy before escaping.
The aides who no doubt accompanied him probably were not paying attention which is not uncommon. In this field, workers often do not even speak English that well. But the main point is the audacity for Washington State to allow a murdering mental patient this type of reward. This “person centered” approach in the mental health field goes too far, and this type of thing is the result.
