A Boston wiseguy has escaped custody and is on the run.
Derek Capozzi is a 37 year old mobster from Boston, supposedly a part of the "DeCalogero Crew", said to be a drug-dealing & burglary crew aligned with the Carozza Faction within the Patriarca LCN Crime Family. I thought the Carozza was a renegade faction during the reign of Salemme, but with Robert Carozza apparently released in 2008, perhaps he's back doing things.
Anyway, the guy was convicted in '05 of being an accesory to the grisly murder of a 19 year old woman who was suspected of informing in '96. Grisly because the body was cut into little peices by Capozzi after she was strangled by another mobster.
Long story short, he was being tranferred from his cell in Kentucky to a prison in another state. During the trip, he kicked open the door of the van he was being transported in, and escaped custody somewhere near the "Kentucky 33 exit off the Blue Grass Parkway".

http://www.wlky.com/news/23160574/detail.html Federal inmates are fitted with "Waist chains, leg irons and handcuffs to immobilize them", so you wouldn't think it, but apparently he was able to "slip those cuffs" (as stated in the video article)
Bit of a worry eh? Id say they'll catch him soon, but anything is possible innit?
