Grant Hardin, known as the 'Devil in the Ozarks,' spent six months planning his escape from an Arkansas prison by exploiting lax security in the kitchen, where he crafted a fake law enforcement uniform. His escape was facilitated by procedural violations by staff, and he survived in the woods for months before being recaptured. The incident has prompted reviews of prison security and systemic issues.
Grant Hardin, a convicted murderer and rapist and former police chief, was recaptured in Arkansas after escaping prison nearly two weeks ago by disguising himself as a law enforcement officer. He was caught near Moccasin Creek with the help of tracking dogs and federal law enforcement support, ending a high-profile manhunt.
Arkansas State Police clarified that their police presence in Fort Smith was part of a planned operation unrelated to the search for Grant Hardin, although they are also working to locate him in collaboration with the Arkansas Department of Corrections.
