Teddy Lynn Ellis was 21 when he vanished from the Dick Conner Correctional Facility in Hominy, Oklahoma, on May 24, 1986. At the time he disappeared he was serving a life sentence for first-degree murder after a 1982 conviction in the shooting death of hitchhiker Dale Eugene Spurgeon.

Ellis was described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches, about 140 pounds, with black hair, hazel eyes, tattoos on both arms and scars on his forehead. Reports say he and five other inmates escaped by crawling through a storm water drainage tunnel; one companion was later recaptured while Ellis and the remaining escapees were not seen again.

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections still lists him as a wanted fugitive and his whereabouts are unknown. Does anyone have information about Ellis’s movements after the escape or recall sightings from that period?
