‘Devil in the Ozarks’ plotted months-long prison escape, living off the land
Convicted murderer Grant Hardin, known as the 'Devil in the Ozarks,' planned and executed a prison escape over six months by disguising himself with homemade police attire, exploiting security lapses, and fleeing into the woods, where he was eventually recaptured after a week-long manhunt. The incident prompted reviews of prison procedures and security measures.
