Manhunt expands across multiple states for murder suspect accidentally released from Indiana jail

  • Kevin Mason, wanted for a 2021 Minnesota murder, was mistakenly released from an Indianapolis jail on September 13 due to a clerical error.
  • Authorities kept Mason's release quiet for nearly a week to maintain a tactical advantage in locating him before asking the public for help.
  • Over 100 officers and the U.S. Marshals Service are searching for Mason in several states and offering a $10,000 reward.
  • Two jail records clerks were fired for their roles in Mason's accidental release from detention.
  • Mason's girlfriend was arrested for assisting him after authorities warned against helping the fugitive suspect.
