It has been almost 10 days since the convicted man represented in a HBO documentary while the “Devil in the Ozarks” escaped from an Arkansas prison, long enough for his appearance to possibly change.
On Tuesday, the Arkansas Correctional Services Department distributed a photo illustration of Grant Hardin, 56, with a short beard and a mustache.
“With more than a week since Hardin escaped the North Central unit, we publish a possible shot that could reflect what it could look like today,” the ministry said in a statement.
Hardin escaped from the northern central unit of Calico Rock on May 25.
Hardin was briefly the gateway police chief Arkansas in 2016. That year, one of his victims, the employee of the City Water Department, James Appleton, criticized Hardin for having encouraged police activities and awarding taxpayers the allegedly growing bill for the repairs of police vehicles.
Cheryl Tillman, Appleton's sister and the current mayor of Gateway, said in the HBO documentary That his brother and Hardin clashed on the problem in 2016.
Hardin resigned after four months, according to the documentary.
On February 23, 2017, Hardin fatally fired on Appleton, according to an affidavit of application of the law tabled in court, which was sentenced to him to 30 years after pleading guilty.
When the authorities directed Hardin's DNA, they discovered that it was a match for evidence in the rape on 1997 campus of a primary school teacher, for which he was finally sentenced under guilt, then sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Prison officials said on Tuesday that Hardin's research focuses on his northern arkansas region, where his parents still call the city of Garfield.
The combined award for information leading to its capture increased to $ 25,000 after the FBI doubled its contribution of $ 10,000 last week, and then the US Marshal Service contributed $ 5,000, the Correctional Services Service said.
Hardin is white, measures 6 feet, 2 inches high, weighs around 259 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes, the authorities said. Observations and possible information on where it could be reported to the FBI, the Correctional Services Service said.
