Fugitive Former Police Chief Captured After 13-Day Manhunt
Grant Hardin, a former police chief and convicted murderer known as the ‘Devil in the Ozarks’, has been recaptured after a nearly two-week manhunt that spanned mountains and attracted multiple law enforcement agencies, including an elite U.S. Border Patrol tactical unit. Hardin escaped from an Arkansas prison while serving time for rape and murder, prompting authorities to warn local residents and tourists of his dangerous nature. He was finally apprehended just 1.5 miles from the prison, bringing an end to a high-profile escape that had reignited public fear and concern.
