Missing killer raises doubts about Ala. mental ward

In a Tuscaloosa case, Michael Hart, a 34 year old paranoid schizophrenic, fled Bryce Hospital on March 26 after being transferred from a secure cell. He previously threatened police and witnesses, and his disappearance prompts questions about supervision, medication, and the handling of his violent background near the University of Alabama. His stepfather’s remains were found in Huntsville in 1998. Hart confessed to dismembering the body and claims of mind control. The court found him insane in 2000.
