LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Authorities are continuing to look today in southeast Missouri for two convicted killers who escaped from the Cummins Unit in Grady.

Thirty-two-year-old Jeffrey Grinder and 39-year-old Calvin Adams were convicted of capital murder and were serving life sentences.

Correction Department spokeswoman Dina Tyler says searchers have
gotten no indication the men have left southeast Missouri, so the manhunt is still concentrated there.

Grinder and Adams walked unchallenged from the Cummins Unit in Grady on Friday evening. The men had a car waiting for them outside
the gates. Tyler says the department does not know exactly how the men got the uniforms, but the prison has a shop that makes uniforms for prison guards and law officers.

Grinder and Adams are believed to be traveling together. Tyler said Adams knows the southeast Missouri region.

Grinder is from Yellville and was convicted of capital murder, aggravated robbery and burglary in the 2003 beating death of 77-year-old Pat Gardner, who lived near Springdale.

Adams is from Leachville and was convicted of capital murder in 1995 in the 1994, kidnapping and shooting death of 25-year-old banker Richard Austin. Austin's wife was wounded and was able to walk more than a mile for help.

Tyler said investigators are still trying to develop information that could lead them to the fugitives. Anyone who knows where they may be is asked to call authorities.
