Authorities in Mississippi launched a manhunt for Drew Johnson, a 33-year-old convicted killer who escaped from the South Mississippi Correctional Institution in Leakesville on Christmas Eve. Johnson was serving a life sentence for a 2022 crime when he managed to flee the facility, prompting law enforcement to label him as 'desperate' and 'very dangerous.' The search for Johnson intensified throughout the day, with police urging the public to remain vigilant. However, by the evening of December 25, 2024, it was reported that Johnson had been recaptured just a day after his escape.
