Case Story |

Escapees Armed And Dangerous |
|
| |
At the Lexington Correctional Center in Oklahoma, guards check on prisoners each and every hour. But just after midnight on July 3, 2006, a guard spotted two empty beds at the low-security facility.
Those beds belonged to Benjamin Beck and Truman Gross-- now on the run and considered armed and dangerous. While the manhunt for these escapees is heating up, instead of keeping a low profile, police say the men are causing trouble.
Both men have a record, but cops say Gross' criminal history shows just how heartless he is. In some circles, he's better known as the "Grinch." And while the nickname sounds somewhat cute, Gross is anything but. According to cops, Gross was wanted for a December 2005 burglary. He allegedly burglarized a residence, taking with him about a hundred Christmas presents and ruining the holiday for an entire family. Unfortunately, cops say Gross has a reputation for robbing residences, which is another reason they want to catch up with this already convicted criminal.
Since their escape, cops say the men have set out on a crime spree. Their first hit was just a few miles from the jail. Cops say the fugitives robbed a man living in a house about three miles from the facility. Beck and Gross allegedly took off with some cash as well as a 1997 maroon Chevy extended-cab pickup with license plate VKI-348. But what was inside of the truck is what's really got police worried. The truck had two guns inside. |

Escapees Strike Again |
|
| |
On July 5, Beck and Gross struck again. Police say they broke into a home in Bella Vista, Arkansas and took the residents by complete surprise.
Resident Brian Late allegedly stepped into his home and only had to take five steps before he found a gun in his face. Cops say Beck and Gross tied up the man with electrical tape and then waited for Late's wife to get home. When she arrived, they tied her up too, cops say.
According to investigators, Gross and Beck then ransacked the couples' home, took some credit cards and cash and then took off in the couples' white 2000 Toyota Celica. This latest attack is all the more reason to catch these criminals before they strike again.
Police say Gross is about 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs two-hundred-nine pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Beck is about five feet 8 inches tall and one-hundred-sixty-one pounds with blond hair and hazel eyes. Both men have a substantial list of tattoos. Beck has more than fifteen tattoos all over his body and Gross has more than ten.
Beck was serving twelve years for distributing a controlled substance and Gross was serving seven years for burglary. |
