Escapee Contends Copter Prison Break Not Inspired by Movie
Detroit AP reports Dale Otto Remling, the con artist behind a helicopter escape from Southern Michigan Prison, says his plan was months in the making and not influenced by the film Breakout. He was captured in Leslie, Michigan, after the scheme unraveled, and will be arraigned on air piracy and conspiracy charges in Detroit. Others linked include Jolyn Low Conn and JoAmn Van Patten, both 20, facing state and federal charges. The FBI notes co conspirators used decoy cars. Calvin Woodbury, 18, remains at large, with Gertrude Wood and Morris Colosky also tied to the case. Welch calls it a community project from the Weberville area. Remling reportedly pretended to be a Colorado rancher’s heir and used an alias, previously linked to a Soledad escape. He had not seen the Breakout film in prison. Further details await Escap e Page 10.
