Teen Escapees Still Evading Capture

[Sequoia]

MOREHEAD, Ky. -- According to Kentucky State Police, two teenage inmates escaped custody by attacking a juvenile justice officer who was transporting them and stealing the state car in which they were transported.

Police said Amber Tucker, 18, and Brandi Murrah, 16, have been on the run since Tuesday.

According to a Kentucky State Police press release, the girls made their move on the Bluegrass Parkway while they were being transported from Warren County to Morehead.

The car was eventually found in Harrodsburg but, by that time, police said the two were long gone. “They’ll turn up someplace,” Harrodsburg Police Detective Sgt. Garry Bradshaw said.

1. Dang it was hard to find what these two dangerous felons actually DID...

Hodgkin said one of the girls was committed to Juvenile Justice on a misdemeanor assault charge and the other on a misdemeanor drug charge. Because he was contacted at home and did not have a file in front of him, Hodgkin did not know which charge applied to which girl.

"They were minor offenses," Hodgkin said.

While en route, one girl faked an illness, and when the transport officer stopped to check on her, the two females overpowered the officer and forced her out of the car.
