It appeared to be a relatively routine moment captured outside an Arkansas prison.

An older man, dressed in a black uniform, black cap and a tactical vest pushes a heavy cart out of the front gate and across the bitumen.

No one stops him. An officer monitoring the gate opens it, and he continues on his way. The day continues as normal.

Except for one thing — the man seen in the grainy surveillance camera photo is not a prison guard.

He’s a convicted rapist, murderer and disgraced police chief dubbed the "Devil in the Ozarks", meant to be serving a decades-long sentence.

The photo marks the beginning of his 12 days on the run.
