Missing 15-Year-Old Girl Located; Disappearance Unrelated To Escaped Convict
(CBS) -- A missing 15-year-old girl who police believed may have been with a murderer who escaped from Kankakee County Jail has been located. The convict, Kamron Taylor, was still at large.
Police said Savannah Bell was found safe, questioned by police and released. Police said her disappearance was not related to Taylor's escape.
Taylor, 23, escaped from the Jerome Combs Detention Center early Wednesday. The Kankakee County Sheriff's Office said Taylor overpowered an officer around 3 a.m., and took the officer's keys and uniform. Police believe Taylor also has the officer's service weapon, which would have been in his vehicle.
Taylor donned Harrington's uniform, fled the jail, and stole the officer's personal vehicle; a brown 2012 Chevy Equinox, which was later found parked in a driveway on Lincoln Avenue in Kankakee, after a woman called police to report the vehicle was blocking her garage.
Anyone who sees Taylor is asked to call 911. Taylor is considered armed and dangerous.
Authorities were offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Taylor's arrest.
