Convicted murderer Michael David Elliot used his hands to pry open two perimeter fences at the Ionia Correctional Facility and escaped Sunday night, prompting a nationwide alert and an intense manhunt that stretched into late Monday when he was caught in Indiana.
The 40-year-old, who was behind bars for two decades, was captured in a stolen car in rural La Porte County.
Elliot escaped wearing a white kitchen uniform, helping him to blend in with the snow as he avoided detection by a guard who drove past him at least twice, coming within 20 feet at one point.

Elliot made his escape when other inmates headed for a meal. Authorities said he spent about an hour working his way through two fences, breaking through at 7 p.m. It appears he targeted a vulnerable spot, said Russ Marlan, a Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman.
Officials said Elliot was discovered missing around 9:15 p.m. Sunday during a formal count. Marlan said the department is launching a full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding the escape.
Elliot made a clean escape. Motion detectors never sensed Elliot, who escaped through fencing close to a unmanned sally port gun tower staffed only when vehicle traffic is going in or out of the facility, Marlan said.
Authorities said they believe Elliot trudged through fields and a wooded area between the corrections facility and the city of Ionia, where he abducted a woman about 8 p.m., using a box cutter to threaten and abduct her in her red Jeep Liberty.
He left Ionia with his captive and drove across the border to Middlebury, Ind., where he stopped for gas, police said. When he went in to pay, the victim called 911 using a cell phone Elliot didnt know she had. It was shortly before midnight.

After losing the woman he abducted and ditching her Jeep in an Indiana town, authorities say Michael David Elliot made his way to another Indiana community, where he stole another vehicle. But a sheriff's deputy quickly spotted the stolen Chevrolet Monte Carlo on Monday evening and chased it, leading to Elliot's capture.
No one was injured in the chase, and the abducted woman also wasn't hurt.
Authorities are now left to sort out exactly how Elliot was able to get out of the Michigan prison. Fences were equipped with motion sensors to alert guards. The fences also carry electric current to shock anyone who touches them.
"It appears that did not happen. ... He was not zapped with electricity, and he was not picked up by the motion sensors," prisons spokesman Russ Marlan said.
Marlan said late Monday that Michigan would immediately begin the extradition process. The LaPorte County Sheriff's Department said he's being charged there with motor vehicle theft and resisting law enforcement, but authorities didn't say if he would stay in Indiana to face those allegations.
Officials were stunned by the brazen escape Sunday night. Elliot, who had a record of good behavior during his 20 years in custody, wore a white kitchen uniform to evade security and blend in with snow at the Ionia Correctional Facility in western Michigan, authorities said.

Michigan prison break: How did Michael David Elliot get out?

IONIA, Mich. A convicted killer who peeled a hole in two fences with his hands to escape from a Michigan prison before abducting a woman and fleeing to Indiana was captured Monday evening after a chase, authorities said.
Officials were stunned by the brazen escape Sunday night of Michael David Elliot, who had a record of good behavior during his 20 years in custody. He wore a white civilian kitchen uniform to evade security and blend in with snow at the Ionia Correctional Facility in western Michigan, prisons spokesman Russ Marlan said.
Indiana State Police Sgt. Ron Galaviz said Elliot was captured in LaPorte County after a police chase.
That chase began after authorities there got a report of a vehicle stolen from a factory in the city of LaPorte, said sheriffs Maj. John Boyd. A deputy who happened to be nearby spotted the vehicle within a few seconds, Major Boyd said.
Authorities chased the vehicle through the city and into a rural area of Kankakee Township several miles away, where law enforcement used stop sticks to disable it.
Major Boyd said Elliot was arrested and taken to the LaPorte County Jail.
How Elliot was able to get out of the Ionia prison remains unclear. Fences were equipped with motion sensors to alert guards. The fences also carry electric current to shock anyone that touches them.
It appears that did not happen. ... He was not zapped with electricity, and he was not picked up by the motion sensors, Mr. Marlan said.

Escaped killer caught in Ind. after chase
IONIA, Mich. (AP) - A convicted killer who peeled a hole in two fences with his hands to escape from a Michigan prison before abducting a woman and fleeing to Indiana was captured Monday evening, authorities said.
Officials were stunned by the brazen escape Sunday night of Michael David Elliot, who had a record of good behavior during his 20 years in custody. He wore a white civilian kitchen uniform to evade security and blend in with snow at the Ionia Correctional Facility in western Michigan, prisons spokesman Russ Marlan said.
Indiana State Police Sgt. Ron Galaviz said Elliot was in LaPorte County, Ind. when a sheriff's deputy investigating a vehicle theft tried to make a traffic stop. The suspect ran, but authorities were able to capture him.
Fences at the Ionia prison were equipped with motion sensors to alert guards. The fences also carry electric current to shock anyone that touches them.
"It appears that did not happen. ... He was not zapped with electricity, and he was not picked up by the motion sensors," Marlan said.
Once outside the prison, Elliot, 40, abducted a woman and stole her Jeep. The woman, who was not hurt, escaped late Sunday when he stopped for gas in Middlebury, Ind., some 100 miles to the south. The woman's red Jeep was found abandoned nearby in Shipshewana on Monday.
At least one school was locked down, residents were warned to stay inside and officers went door-to-door in the area.
An alert was issued to law enforcement nationwide. The woman told police that Elliot was armed with a box cutter and a hammer and had said he wanted to get as far from the Michigan prison as possible.
"We had dog teams. We had a helicopter from the state police," said Michigan Corrections Department Director Dan Heyns. "The response was good, but he'd left the area by the time we were mobilized totally 100 percent. It didn't take him long to get down to Indiana. ... His flight path now has expanded dramatically."
Nothing in Elliot's record suggested he might escape, said Heyns, who added, "This is entirely a one-man operation."
