Law enforcement worked overnight Wednesday and throughout the day today, fruitlessly ending the third day of a manhunt for an escaped prison inmate.

Clark County residents were alerted again Thursday morning that officials are still looking for Randall Jacob Marlow, 44, an inmate at the Larch Corrections Center who walked away from a work crew east of Hockinson.

Marlow and another inmate, Donald William McLain, 33, were part of a landscaping crew working at Clark Rifles, 25115 N.E. Rawson Road, on Tuesday afternoon, according to Larch Corrections Center spokeswoman Danette Gadberry.

A crew supervisor noticed the men were missing from the rifle range just before 2 p.m. and launched a search with help from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Corrections escape response team.

McLain was captured eight hours later about 6 miles away, in the 6400 block of Northeast 224th Avenue in Hockinson.

Marlow remained at large as of press time tonight.
