A man convicted of bombing a car in a casino parking garage in 2007 escaped prison last weekend and was able to evade capture for days before authorities found him.
Porfirio Duarte-Herrera escaped from prison last Friday and was able to evade capture for four days
Prison officials didn’t notice he was missing until he was absent for a head count conducted on Tuesday morning. Duarte-Herrera was eventually found and picked up by Las Vegas Metro Police officers on Wednesday at a bus station in downtown Las Vegas. Authorities are still unsure what Duarte-Herrera did in his four days outside prison. ‘He was able to get a little bit of money and a little bit of transportation just from specifically that area,’ said US Marshal for Nevada Gary Schofield. Indian Springs is about 40 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
In 2007, Duarte-Herrera used a motion-activated bomb to kill a hot dog stand vendor in the parking garage of the Luxor Las Vegas casino. Duarte-Herrera placed the bomb in a coffee cup, which detonated a nearby car.
