Arkansas prisoner escapes; killed girl and put her in barrel
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Arkansas officials say a man who admitted killing a teenager and then stuffing her body in a barrel buried on his brother's property has escaped from prison.
Prisons spokesman Solomon Graves said 40-year-old Lloyd Jones of Lavaca has been missing since midday Monday. Graves said Jones was on a work crew at the maximum-security East Arkansas Unit near Brickeys.
Graves said it wasn't clear how Jones escaped, and he didn't know what work Jones had been assigned to do.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jones was sentenced to 60 years for the February 2012 death of 16-year-old Angela Allen of Van Buren. He also was sentenced to 20 years on two child pornography charges and 10 years for one child pornography charge and abuse of a corpse.
Jones said he had met the girl online.
