St. Louis, MO, October 29, 2026 —
Authorities are continuing to search for Jacob Morley, a convicted murderer who escaped from a prison in Tennessee, while investigators examine whether the escape may be connected to a bank robbery in Wisconsin.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is exploring a possible link between the two events, according to the information provided. No further details about the basis for that inquiry were provided, and investigators have not been described as confirming a connection.
The available information does not identify the prison, say when Morley escaped, or provide details about how the escape occurred. It also does not specify when or where in Wisconsin the bank robbery took place, or describe what was reported stolen or whether anyone was injured.
Authorities are continuing the manhunt, but the information provided does not say where the search is focused, which agencies are participating beyond the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, or whether officials have issued public instructions. No additional information about Morley, including his age or a physical description, was provided.
The possible connection remains under examination. The available account does not state that Morley has been identified as a suspect in the Wisconsin robbery, nor does it provide any findings from investigators. The timing of any updates or the next steps in either investigation was not provided.
Further details about the escape, the robbery and the investigation were not available in the supplied information.
