Convicted Felon Escapes Prison In Official Van

Police tell AMW Michael Edward McAfee was serving a 10-year prison sentence for grand theft at the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls in 1999; it was his seventh felony conviction.

In prison, McAfee was a trustee, and was responsible for maintaining vehicles belonging to the state of South Dakota. 

On May 18, 1999, cops say McAfee simply hopped in a prison van from the motor pool and drove off; that vehicle was later recovered in Omaha, Neb.

A federal warrant was issued for McAfee's arrest in August 2000, but so far, he has managed to elude police. 

Cops are asking for your help in finding this escaped criminal. If you know where he is today, call us at 1-800-CRIME-TV right now.
