"A 28-year-old accused in the abduction and rape of an 11-year-old West Virginia girl a year ago is on the loose after escaping from an Indiana jail Sunday night.
Joshua Ridings and Larry Miller escaped from the outside recreation area of the Warrick Jail in Boonville, Ind., sometime before 9 p.m., according to a statement by Warrick County Sheriff Marvin Heilman. Miller, who was being held on a sexual misconduct charge, was taken into custody without incident at 12:45 a.m. Ridings, who faces a felony residential entry charge in Indiana and more serious sex assault charges in West Virginia and Kentucky, remains at large.
"Obviously, we assume that he's fled our area and may have fled Kentucky," Heilman told ABC News. "This will certainly come rather quickly to a national manhunt if he's not apprehended."
