Two convicted bank robbers used a knotted rope or bed sheets to escape from a federal prison window high above downtown Chicago early Tuesday, a week after one of them made a courtroom vow of retribution.
Jose Banks, 37, and Kenneth Conley, 38, were wearing prison-issue orange jumpsuits but now might be wearing white T-shirts, gray sweat pants and white gym shoes, Sgt. Lazarro said.
The escape occurred sometime between 5 and 8:45 a.m., when the inmates were discovered missing, Chicago police Sgt. Mark Lazarro said.
