June 8, 1990

A prisoner in the Platte County jail, Victor Ray Abbott, 41, of Warrensburg was captured about three hours after he escaped from his cell about 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Officers said Abbott climbed through the ceiling to the first floor near the east door of the courthouse. With the help of a bloodhound from Lansing Correctional Institution, Abbott was tracked and captured about 5:30 in a rural area about five miles east of Platte City.
