A manhunt is underway for two inmates who escaped an Arkansas detention center this week, including a capital murder suspect.

Noah Roush, 22, and Jatonia Bryant, 23, were discovered to be missing from the Dub Brassell Adult Detention Center in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Monday morning, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said in statement. Pine Bluff is located about 40 miles southeast of Little Rock.

The inmates were believed to have escaped within 48 hours before they were noticed to be missing. It’s not clear how they managed to escape.

    Within 48 hours? Does that mean they were missing for…48 hours… before guards noticed? Shouldn’t they have role call more often than that?

    [Bryant] is described as […] 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 145 pounds.

    Sounds like he could fit between the bars.
