Convicted murderer, Richard Lee McNair, escaped three different times from different jails under extremely bizarre circumstances. In his first escape, Richard used lip balm to help him squeeze his hands out of a pair of handcuffs. During his second escape, he crawled through a ventilation duct. The last escape occurred when he managed to mail himself out of prison in a crate.

As a result of his last escape, he was featured on America’s Most Wanted and was listed as one of the top fifteen fugitives wanted by U.S. Marshals. Richard fled to Canada and eluded escape for over a year before finally being apprehended. He is now held at the ADX Florence supermax facility in Colorado.
