TIPTONVILLE - Officials in Tennessee have mounted a manhunt for a convicted murderer who escaped from a state prison on Sunday evening, according to a report from The Guardian.

The Guardian identified the escapee as Jacob Morley, 28, who is serving a life sentence for a 2022 murder. The outlet said the Tennessee Department of Correction, known as TDOC, announced the escape on Monday.

The Guardian reported that Morley escaped from a facility in Tiptonville, Tennessee. The summary of the article names the Northwest correctional complex as the site, but it ends partway through a sentence describing the location, so further details about the facility are not available in the material reviewed for this story.

The report was written by Maya Yang. Its summary describes the search as a manhunt that is under way. It does not say whether Morley has been located.

The summary also does not describe how Morley left the facility, what the search involves, or what officials have said about where he may be. The timeline reported so far is limited to two points: the escape on Sunday evening and the Department of Correction's announcement on Monday. Readers seeking the full account should consult the complete Guardian article.
