“I was on duty at the visi
tors’ gate,” Lavender said. A
car entered driven by an elder
ly man who turned out to be
lame, as if he had his leg in a
cast, the escaper added.
"I waited until he had left his
car and gone some distance,
then called to him that it would
have to be re-parked.”
“He didn't want to come all
the way back so he gave me
the keys to park it for him.”
"I got on the back roads and
drove to Atlanta, about 45 min
utes away,” Lavender said.
He said he made his way to
Cincinnati and got a job in a
sandwich shop. Since then he
had drunk coffee with police
men at the shop but they never

Lavender said his parents le
gally adopted his 3-year-old
daughter, Catherine Leigh. His
father Is a former Atlanta

I turned myself in to you
guys,” Lavender told reporters,
because of my little girl and
to get right with myself.
I just can't go on hurting
people. My mom and dad, that
girl with whom maybe I was
getting a little serious, and my
self.”
"I’ve proved something to
myself, that I’m not crazy and
that I can get along with people
and be respected for what I
am.”
