They were ratted out by tipster who turned them in. According to the Apache County Sheriff’s Office, a member of the public called 911 after spotting a couple matching their description at a campground on the edge of the Apache National Forest, 15 miles from the New Mexico state line.
Story continues below…he couple, who likened themselves to a modern day version of Bonnie and Clyde, were arrested without incident and will face a number of charges.
Here is a video about the prison where McCluskey escaped from:
Welch — who is also his cousin and fiancee — is believed to have helped engineer McCluskey’s escape from jail. The pair have been linked to the double murder of a married couple in New Mexico.
McCluskey escaped the medium-security Arizona State Prison near Kingman on July 30 with Daniel Renwick and Tracy Province.
Renwick was captured and returned to custody on Aug. 1 after a car chase and shootout with police in Rifle, Colo. Province was apprehended without incident Aug. 9 outside a church in Meeteetse, Wyo., in the state’s northwest Park County.
Authorities had been focusing their search efforts for McCluskey and Welch in the northern United States, near the Canada border, but the pair was caught just 300-some miles from where McCluskey had been incarcerated.
Earlier Thursday, the state’s director of prisons said faulty alarms and negligent staff response allowed the three convicted murderers to break out.
Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections Chuck Ryan said an alarm system that had not been properly maintained in two years resulted in a “de-sensitization” of staff, which meant they failed to respond to alarms.
Two alarms were set off as the trio broke free but neither alarm resulted in an officer response.
Ryan called the incident the “worst escape tragedy” since 1978.
