Oklahoma Woman Taken On A Wild Ride |
|
| |
One Oklahoma woman never thought that she would become part of a daring escape plan when she went to visit an inmate in the Joseph Harp Correctional Facility. But, cops say two inmates - one a convicted rapist and the other a convicted killer - found her arrival to be perfect timing. Cops say the pair managed to hijack Stacy Richards' minivan in the parking lot of the prison and take Stacy on the ride of her life.
On October 16, 2005, Stacy went to the prison to visit her fiance. As she was leaving, Stacy tells AMW two men approached her car, flashed a badge and claimed to be prison security. The two inmates told Stacy that a drug-sniffing dog had detected something in her car and that they needed to search and inspect it. Stacy obliged, but soon realized that the two men were not security.
She was forced into the passenger seat of her minivan as Olsen hopped in the driver's seat. Once inside the minivan, Stacy tells AMW that the two prisoners were "really nice and told [her] from the beginning that they were not going to hurt [her]." But those words were not comforting enough for Stacy. |

Tales From Felons |

During the four-hour ordeal, Stacy says Olsen and Johnson told her they started formulating their escape plan two years ago. Stacy says they actually started digging through the prison walls in August and used bags, cloth, duct tape and stickers to make clothing. One of the men made a jacket out of a film bag and a tie out of duct tape, Stacy says. Stacy tells AMW the pair even dyed their jail outfits to resemble street clothes before they simply walked out of jail.
As the pair drove Stacy around the Oklahoma City area, the clock was ticking. Stacy tells AMW that Olsen and Johnson knew the prisoners would be counted at 6 o'clock. That meant the duo only had a few hours to change clothing and ditch Stacy and her minivan. Stacy says the Olsen and Johnson seemed very relaxed and even stopped at a convenience store to buy beer, a Mountain Dew and an OSU ball cap. Then, the two went to a Dollar General to buy different clothing. Stacy tells AMW it wasn't long before Olsen and Johnson started telling her about their lives of crime.
"Pharon was telling me how he used to rape the women - how he would be with them." Stacy told AMW. "They told me they wouldn't go back alive. They told me they needed a weapon. Their plan was to take down a cop." As 6 o'clock drew near, the Olsen and Johnson started looking for a place to drop Stacy and her minivan near Oklahoma City. Stacy tells AMW, "They taped me up and left me behind some bushes. They apologized and told me to get some help when I got free." |

Running For Freedom |
|

Police say Jonson and Olsen drove the 1999 green Dodge Caravan until Tuesday morning, October 18, when they left the vehicle by mile marker four on the Kansas Interstate in Sumner County, Kansas. According to police, the car had been abandoned between 6:45 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. When police found the car, it was still running, and the lights and radio were on.
According to police, there was a car wreck close to the area the stolen van was found around 6:45 a.m. Cops say it's a possibility Olsen and Jonhson thought the flashing police lights from the accident were a check point in their search for the fugitives, and they may have gotten scared and fled on foot.
After two years of planning the escape Johnson turned himself in after just three days of freedom. But convicted killer Aaron Olsen remains at large and authorities are determined to put him back where he belongs. |
