Lolli Escapes From Haddam Jail After Murder Case
Francesco Lolli, linked to the February murder of Frank Magnanti, escaped yesterday afternoon from Haddam jail where he was serving three months after a change of charge to simple assault. He fled during field duty, with woods nearby offering potential refuge, and may be hard to recapture as he is unlikely to return to Middletown. Magnanti, who had just married 36 hours earlier, died after a stabbing at his wedding party. Lolli had previously been apprehended in New York City and returned to Haddam by local authorities.
