On October 15, 2009, at 0100 hours, a vehicle matching the description of the one stolen from Webster County was observed and felony stopped by the Marion Police Department. The two occupants of the vehicle were the two escapees from the RCC. Both were taken into custody by the Marion Police Department without incident.

The investigation is on-going by Kentucky State Police Detective Dan Morck and the Webster County Detention Center.
