Gary Pray on the Run and Phone Calls From Prison
Vermont fugitive Gary Pray remains at large after escaping Waterbury State Hospital on December 11. He has telephoned his parents and deputy attorney general Gregory A. McKenzie from undisclosed locations, prompting questions about the legality of his contacts while under evaluation. Pray had been convicted of first degree murder in 1971 for the slaying of Edouard Garneau, a conviction later overturned, and a 1971 not guilty by reason of insanity verdict. He was recommitted for further evaluation, then escaped from a minimum security ward two days after psychiatrists found him sane, making his status and future fate uncertain.
