Skylar Meade escaped from corrections officers after an accomplice ambushed them while they were transporting Meade back from a Boise hospital.

Authorities are investigating whether the deaths of an 83-year-old man who was walking his dogs and a 72-year-old man who lived in a remote cabin are connected to the escape of an Idaho white supremacist prison gang member and an accomplice after a Boise hospital ambush.

The escaped prisoner, Skylar Meade, and the accomplice, a recently released inmate named Nicholas Umphenour — both members of the Aryan Knights gang — were arrested in Twin Falls, Idaho, on Thursday afternoon. Their arrests came 36 hours after Umphenour shot and wounded two Idaho corrections officers while they were preparing to return Meade to prison from a hospital, police said.

Investigators said Thursday that while on the run, Meade and Umphenour may have been responsible for the deaths of two men, one in Nez Perce County and the other in Clearwater County, both in northern Idaho, about seven hours away from where they were arrested.

Today I happened to see one of the many fiction and true crime stories of “the prisoner escaped while being transferred.”

Today’s old NCIS New Orleans had a dead deer in the road and the two prison officers stopped and got out of the prison transfer bus to move it. Accomplices pounced on them and killed them so their main man could escape with them.

Scott Bakula as character Dwayne Pride investigated and was told about the deer ploy:

“So, you’re telling me the buck stopped here?”🦌

There was some youtube video regarding the capture of a woman and her lover that hired a hit man to kill the woman’s husband. Husband driving home after picking up their child from somewhere and the child strapped into the car seat.

Hit man had placed a tire in the road, husband gets out to move the tire and was shot numerous times and killed. They didn’t say how old or how long the child was sitting in the car seat.
