LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It was a daring and elaborate escape. Three inmates, including a man suspected in a killing, cut through metal, crawled through plumbing tunnels, climbed a roof and rappelled down four stories to freedom using ropes made from bedsheets.
It wasn't a Hollywood movie. The real-life breakout left authorities struggling Monday to find the men and to figure out how they managed to escape the maximum-security jail in Southern California.
The priority was finding the men who could be armed and dangerous, but a probe also was underway to see if they had any help from inside or outside the Orange County Men's Central Jail, authorities said.
