Body found at Sunland Park landfill linked to jail escape
Deputy says 30 year old Carlos Medina Bailon was found in a landfill used by the jail trash collector after reportedly slipping from the jail during the early morning hours. Bailon, jailed on federal narcotics conspiracy charges, disappeared from the kitchen area with security footage and nearby CCTV being reviewed. The sheriff noted the border proximity raises the possibility he fled to Mexico, while U S Marshal service said they are coordinating with Mexican authorities. Changes in other local cases are mentioned as part of broader Odessa police activity and related arrests.
