Passing Car Aids Killer In Escaping
Life term killer J D Lee, once dubbed the mystery man of Bennie Lichtenstein slaying, was spirited from Banks county custody by a passing car as guards watched. Lee, who claimed to be Summer Compton, was convicted in 1981 and again later with mercy recommended, sealing a life sentence. Witnesses described a speedy auto stopping near the road, taking Lee as deputies pursued without success. The escape may be tied to Lee’s claim of innocence and a Cleveland Minnesota background.
