Inmate Gurule Found Dead After Texas Death Row Escape
Martin Gurule, 29, the first Texas death row escapee since 1934, was found dead in the Trinity River near Ellis Unit after breaking through two razor wire fences during a Thanksgiving escape. A weeklong manhunt ended when a bloated body, found by two off duty guards, was identified by clothing. Gurule, who shot Minas Piperis in a 1992 Corpus Christi robbery, had been part of seven condemned inmates attempting to flee. The mass search and death row work program, using inmates to make cloth goods, have been suspended.
