NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The 10 men who escaped from a New Orleans jail more than two weeks ago by cutting out a hole behind a toilet received help from at least 15 people, many of them friends and family who provided food, cash, transport and shelter according to court documents.
Records reviewed by the Associated Press show how some of the fugitives received aid before and after their escape — including from a number of people named in police reports but not yet facing charges.
A former jail employee is accused of driving escapee Lenton Vanburen to a relative’s home and helping him FaceTime family the day of the escape, while another friend later offered him a hiding place in a vacant apartment he had been hired
