KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Tennessee fugitive has been captured in Missouri, thanks to Flock technology.
Jacob Allen Morley escaped from Tennessee’s Northwest Correctional Complex on Oct. 25.
He’d been serving a life sentence for murder.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Morley was rearrested around 11:34 a.m. Tuesday near Norborne in Carroll County.
“On November 3, 2026, Tennessee authorities contacted the Patrol’s Missouri Information Analysis Center indicating Tennessee fugitive Jacob Allen Morley was possibly traveling through Missouri based on information obtained through FLOCK technology,” the agency said in a news release.
For days, law enforcement in Tennessee had warned about the danger posed by Morley.
Prior to being caught, Morley was spotted on the morning of Oct. 26 at the Pilot Travel Center in Marion, Illinois, where a truck he reportedly stole in Tennessee was found abandoned.
A combined $17,500 reward was being offered for information leading to Morely’s whereabouts.
