Two Escape Attempts Highlight West Virginia Prison Breaks
Vonda Jean Mullenax of Preston County returned to the State Prison for Women within an hour after her third escape in a year. She fled Saturday night with Martha Jewell of Tyler County. Jewell had recently escaped from prison in Mississippi. The two were captured about a mile from the prison on W Va 3. Jewell faces 1 to 10 years for breaking and entering, while Mullenax, 33, mother of nine, was convicted in 1966 for the 1965 poison strangulation slaying of her husband Ray Mullenax. Mullenax has pursued appeals and a habeas corpus bid, arguing the confession was obtained in violation of her rights. Separately at Pence Springs, Andria Briggs and Virginia Bolins escaped from the State Women's Prison by lowering themselves to the ground with bed sheets after breaking a dormitory window. Briggs has had five escapes. Bolins, a parole violator, faced parole review in August.
