Five Ohio convicts escape nearly 24 hours earlier
Three of five convicts who escaped from the Ohio State Penitentiary were recaptured within 24 hours. Pat McDermott and Mike Jacko, both serving life terms, were nabbed in a power house tower north of Columbus, and Joe Rosso was seized near a farm south of the city. Deputies Crumley, Williams, and John Guy recovered the trio after authorities tracked their movements from a truck, a stolen car, and a fleeing store robbery. Warden Thomas issued oversight of the escape and questioned guards Shirley and Isaacs along with state investigators.
