CBS News reported that Jacob Morley, a convicted murderer, escaped from a medium security prison in Tennessee over the weekend. In its video report on the manhunt, the outlet said authorities are asking local residents to check their home security cameras for any sign of the escapee. The report was by Tom Hanson, and its headline described Morley as an "escaped murderer."
Fox News reported that Jacob Allen Morley breached the perimeter fence at the Northwest Correctional Complex and stole a pickup truck. According to the outlet, those actions triggered a "massive multi-state manhunt."
The two reports differ on location. CBS News placed the escape at a medium security prison in Tennessee. The Fox News summary names the Northwest Correctional Complex but does not name a state. Neither summary says whether that complex is the facility CBS News described. Fox News does not give a timing for the escape, while CBS News said it happened over a weekend.
A Fox News report on the search said a close friend of a murder victim fears the escaped killer could strike again. The Fox News story on the multi-state manhunt carries that concern in its headline, which makes it the outlet's central point about the search.
Neither the CBS News summary nor the Fox News summary reviewed for this report says whether Morley has been found or taken back into custody. The Fox News summary gives his full name as Jacob Allen Morley, while CBS News uses Jacob Morley. Both outlets describe the same kind of search for an escaped man with that surname, though neither summary states outright that the two refer to the same person.
