Ex-chieftain "Devil in the Ozarks" Grant Hardin likely fled Arkansas post-prison break.

A former police chief, Grant Hardin, known as the "Devil in the Ozarks," has likely fled Arkansas after escaping from a prison last month. Hardin, who is serving multiple life sentences for murder and rape, escaped by wearing a law enforcement uniform. Authorities suspect he may be hiding in the Ozark Mountains, familiar terrain for him. Two unconfirmed sightings have been reported in central Arkansas and southern Missouri. The investigation is ongoing, with a focus on whether his job in the prison kitchen helped him obtain materials for his escape outfit.
