From police chief to escaped murderer: Timeline of Arkansas manhunt for Grant Hardin

Former police chief Grant Hardin, who was imprisoned for murder and rape, escaped from a correctional facility in Arkansas while impersonating a corrections officer. Hardin, 56, walked out of the North Central Unit in Calico Rock, prompting a massive manhunt as authorities search the Ozark Mountains for him. He was sentenced to 80 years in prison after pleading guilty to the murder of James Appleton in 2017 and a subsequent rape in 2019, with law enforcement describing him as extremely dangerous.
