Authorities believe inmate Donna Robinson fled beyond the prison vicinity after missing during a cottage check at Alderson federal women's prison. Warden aide David Helman says quick recapture is common for nearby escapes, but the extended absence suggests she left the area with possible assistance. Robinson, 21, of Huntington, was convicted in Kanawha County on two counts of aggravated robbery and sentenced to 18 years.
