Escaped Arkansas murderer Grant Hardin — the subject of the Devil of the Ozarks true crime documentary — has been captured after he escaped captivity, according to the Mountain View Police.
Hardin escaped from the Arkansas Department of Corrections’ North Central Unit on May 25 after he disguised himself as a law enforcement officer.
The Arkansas Board of Corrections Chairman Benny Magness confirmed to KARK that Hardin was captured “about a mile” from the prison, where he was hiding in the woods.
According to Magness, a specialized tracking unit from the US Border Patrol assisted area police in the search.
Hardin, a former police chief in Gateway, Arkansas, was serving a 30-year sentence for first-degree murder and another sentence for rape.
