An Arkansas man sentenced to 60 years in prison for strangulation of a teenage girl escaped from a state prison Monday, the Department of Correction said. 
 
 Police are searching for 40-year-old Lloyd Jones, who is an inmate at the East Arkansas Regional Correctional Facility in Brickeys. 
 
 Jones was on work detail at a construction/demolition site about 2 miles west of the unit when he escaped, according to department spokesman Solomon Graves. 
 
 "The search perimeter is focused around the escape location and adjacent areas," Graves said in a statement shortly before 6 p.m. 
 
 Court records show Jones pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the death of 16-year-old Angela Allen and to charges of transmitting child porn and abusing a corpse in 2012. He had been found guilty of rape in an earlier case from 2000. 
 
 The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette wrote several stories about Allen's disappearance and Jones' arrest and conviction. 
 
 According to those reports, Jones was accused of luring Allen on social media before strangling her and stuffing her body inside a barrel that was buried on his family's property on Arkansas 96 near Lavaca in Sebastian County. 
 
 Police found Allen's body Feb. 17, 2012, a week after she was reported missing. 
 
 After his arrest, two women came forward to tell police that Jones had taken them on "dates" to his property days before Allen's death, acting strange and causing them to become fearful, according to one Democrat-Gazette story. 
 
 Jones was listed as 6 feet tall and 175 pounds. His most recent known address was his parent's home on Arkansas 96 near where Allen's body was found.

– A convicted killer has escaped from a state prison in Arkansas, sparking a manhunt near that state's borders of Tennessee and Mississippi. Authorities say 40-year-old Lloyd Jones escaped around noon Monday while working at a construction site about two miles from East Arkansas Regional Correctional Facility in Brickeys, where he was serving a 60-year sentence for the murder of a teenage girl, reports the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Jones was allowed on work detail under armed guard, per KARK, but it isn't clear how he managed to escape. A rep for the Arkansas Department of Correction says "every resource possible," including K-9 dogs and helicopters, is being used to find Jones, described as 6 feet tall, 205 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. "The search perimeter is focused around the escape location and adjacent areas," authorities say, noting the area includes fields, swampy creeks, and ditches. They add that Jones—who has tattoos of dragons, flames, a woman, wizard, castle, skull, and snake—may not get far in high temperatures without water. Jones was paroled in 2008 after a 2001 rape conviction before he lured 16-year-old Angela Allen on social media in 2012, per the Democrat-Gazette. He then strangled the teen and buried her body on his family's property. He was originally sentenced to 60 years in prison for murder, 20 years on two child-pornography charges, 10 years on another child porn charge, and 10 years for abusing a corpse. The sentences were to run concurrently, reported the Times Record.
