ELIZABETH, N.J. (Dec. 17) - Two jail inmates used photos of bikini-clad women to hide holes they used to escape and left behind a thank-you note, signed with a smiley face, for a guard they claimed helped them, officials said Monday.
Jose Espinosa, 20, and Otis Blunt, 32, squeezed through the openings sometime before dawn Saturday in a high-security unit of the Union County jail, jumped onto a rooftop below, and made it over a 25-foot-high fence topped with razor wire, authorities said.
Authorities withheld the name of the officer the inmates said was involved. The note, found in Espinosa's cell, read, "Thank you Officer ... for the tools needed. You're a real pal. Happy holidays."

Guard Thanked in Note Commits Suicide
Early on Wednesday, hours before the 40-year-old Officer Zurick was scheduled to meet with detectives investigating the escape for what his lawyers described as a routine interview, he was found dead, apparently from suicide, in his central New Jersey home.

Don't shoot the messenger. The guy was clearly a moron. He's was a prison guard who helped two immates escape, one of which is a murderer. Yeah they burned him but it's his own dumb fault for helping and even worse, trusting them. Suicide is a cowards way out. I don't feel bad whatsoever for that idiot.
BigDogsHuntNew Memberdid they catch the escapees? cause the apparent suicide may just be that...apparent to look like a suicide.

They recently caught one of the escapees. One is still on the run. Both were still at large when the guard committed suicide so I suppose your theory could be real, but highly unlikely. What would be the point of risking capture and getting murder charges for a guy that they had already royally screwed over?
Anyhow, here's the link...
