LeMay Escapes Jail With Rope Taxi From Florida Jail
One of the Western Hemisphere's most wanted men, Georges LeMay of Canada, escaped from the County Jail on the seventh floor using a rope down a wall after shattering a window. He fled with three men in a 1965 white sedan, raising a federal and police dragnet. LeMay had been arrested in Fort Lauderdale May 6 with a roll of $100 bills and faces charges for a 1961 Bank of Nova Scotia heist that yielded between $500,000 and $4 million. He was captured after his picture aired on the Early Bird satellite.
