Michael David Elliot

IONIA, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a nationwide alert has
been issued for a convicted murderer serving life behind bars for four
1993 slayings who escaped from prison.
Michigan Department of
Corrections Director Dan Heyns told reporters Monday morning at Ionia
Correctional Facility in mid-Michigan that investigators believe
40-year-old Michael David Elliot isn’t in the state.
Authorities say he apparently abducted a woman at an Ionia gas station who fled his grips when he stopped
for gas in Indiana.
Heyns
says Elliot was dressed in a white kitchen uniform, which might have
helped him evade security. Heyns says Elliot wasn’t a kitchen worker,
however. The department says he was noticed missing about 9:30 p.m.
Sunday.
Heyns says Elliot may have escaped about 6 p.m. or 7 p.m.
