Body found in river linked to prison escape plan
Independence reports identify a drowned man as Charles Pound, an ex-convict who escaped from the Kansas state penitentiary with Willem Binglock by climbing to a guard line and slipping into the river. Pound reportedly died in the Missouri River while attempting to flee, while Binglock likely reached the island and survived. Authorities exhumed a burial site and connected the case to a daring prison break that involved broken guard lines and an elevator ascent.
