@@johnrambo30 well pretty sure metal band with a gps tracker would have been caught pretty quickly. We lose dogs hunting all the time and gps them right on down..
Not making no excuse I saw that video and I think it was the injured bus driver and prisoners on the bus is why they didn't chase after him and waited for back up. I will say so many things went wrong on DOJ part. Is to why he was able to get out of cuffs cut gate on bus open and stab driver and got away. Bad on their part in so many ways. Sorry what happened to that Family.
Yea looked into it and apparently the handler is vital, especially if other conditions aren't ideal for tracking. If the handler isn't reading the dogs right he can lose the trail and not know it. Plus if the dogs don't get a good sample/initial scent to base the track on, then the trail can be weak. In this case it might have only been the seat he was sitting on, or his cuffs, but I assume both could be somewhat easily contaminated or weakened. Also learned that dogs can track through water pretty easily. Idk how he did it but like the rest of the ordeal I wouldn't be surprised if tdcj had some less than proficient bloodhound handlers..
The subject had inside help. From correction officers. The offender should have been strip searched prior to getting on that bus. He had wire cutters to cut through the cage, or a blade. Were those implements on the bus, already in the cage? Was the bus searched prior to offenders boarding it? Was the referred officer sleeping while on the bus? Why did you not put the offender down when he was stabbing the other CO? Why would he just stab the driver in the hand? Who was responsible for the search? They should resign immediately, as should the director of TDCJ. The state of Texas just proved that they cannot properly contain offenders, the police in Uvalde choked when they let an 18 year old high school drop out remain in a school and continue to kill children. Parents who demanded they hard enter the school were pepper sprayed and handcuffed. And Robert has visions of sugar plumbs dancing in his head that people will surrender their guns. I have yet to hear him squeak about the failure of law enforcement. You can train a chimp to write tickets. But it remains painfully clear that when seconds count, police are minutes away.
I completely agree with your summation, he had help from someone on the inside. They said he had strong Cartel connections, sounds about the right kinda situation where a corrections officer could be bribed or coerced into assisting the inmate escape
Who ever in charged of that inmate should be charged and made responsible for what happen to that family. That’s how incompetent they were for him to escape. There a joke especially when they say he was very dangerous
TDCJ is totally responsible for all five deaths shame on them this should not have happened. Of course they don't want to go on camera they know what they've done....
Incident reports following the escape detailed multiple issues including broken and incorrectly placed handcuffs, a lack of surveillance on the bus and a broken metal detector at the prison. The reports detail that not one single failure led to the escape but a series of errors. Beyond equipment and facility failures, the reports found 28 Texas Department of Criminal Justice employees broke or outright ignored security policies. Trafficking, falsifying documents, advanced notice of transports, and search issues were all violations mentioned in the reports. NO ONE fired.
The fact that y’all can’t figure out that this was all planned and set up!! He’s the CARTEL!! He easily paid all these guards off to allow him to escape!!!! 🙄 WAKE UP!! INVESTIGATE THESE GAURDS AND WORKERS!!!!
Lol. U people have read to many books. If that was the case you think he would have had to hide in the woods. Lol. Or just had a ride waiting or following the bus. Maybe all the money was spent on payoffs and just didn't have enough for a ride.
Man I can't imagine how those boys must've felt when they first laid eyes on him. The grandpa had to have known instantly who he was of course..I wonder how it all went down. So tragic & a major let down by law enforcement
Grandpa wouldn’t have known who the guy was because these dumbass, bumbling chucklefucks in TDCJ didn’t make sure everyone in Town knew an inmate escaped nearby. There should have been flyers on every telephone pole in every town within a 50 mile radius. There should’ve been TV and radio announcements for every commercial break 24/7. There also should have been an amber alert.
The cop just sat and watched the escape. He sat in his patrol car and watched a CO fight for his life, and then the inmate run back in the bus! Also, if I was the CO riding shotgun I'd have unloaded into the scuffle. When I was a CO at a high security unit, I knew what I was signed up for, and death was one of the least bad possibilities. I still have nightmares. The driver also should have flipped the bus if the situation was out of control. A cop was near and the inmates making noise to cover the murderer cutting through the cage makes them accessories.
What I don't understand is the murderer was filmed running away & the officers didn't immediately go after him.Lopez was filmed by a citizen driver who stopped & filmed him running away into the woods .
Why is no-one telling the citizens of the US how this guy was able to do such a feat ?? Where is the tool used to escape ? where is the footage from the bus ? Where is Gonzalo base camp in the woods ? where is the evidence of him being there in the woods... small shelter, fire circle, litter etc..... This absolutely stinks to high heaven.... Someone is covering to try and save the embarrassment and possible Law suit from the murdered family.... Clearly no transparency.... The same lack of transparancey that led to this poor families loss and devastation !!!! It's absolutely disgusting y'all local police and politicians are behaving around this matter !!!! Im from the UK btw.... So if im pissed, y'all must be absolutely fuming with your leaders and chiefs !!!!
I thiught the problem was when the texas prison chose to let a bus go with only 2 guards on board and not the 3 that are the SOP. The 3rd guard stands right next to the driver looking straight at the prisoners in the bus. They will blame everyone except themselves
Of course, TDCJ is not going to say or claim fault. That would open them up to major lawsuits not to say that won't happen anyway. The TDCJ is already underfunded and understaffed agency.
I know your hurting and prayers may sooth a desperate mind, however eventually reality sets back in. Why pray to a 'mythical being' that did nothing to prevent this horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to the families of all the victims, the community. Find out what went wrong, how he got away. Prevent it from ever happening again. Senseless Tragedy.
The family needs to sue TDCJ they have had more escapes that any other state. There two guards when transporting inmates. Plus they are not saying about second guard who is at back of transport bus behind a gate that is secure and is armed with a pistol and shotgun????????
Prison buses should be made like a semi or a moving truck/uhaul style where the drivers cab is a separate compartment from the bad cargo area where inmates are kept. That way even if they unshackled themselves, the driver and front occupants are still safe from any harm and there’s nobody behind them. Of course bulletproof windows so incase of anything, all they have to do is keep their two doors locked and radio for back up.
TDCJ is much more concerned about its reputation than it is about public safety and releasing enough information about an escape for the public to fully appreciate the danger that the escaped inmate poses.
25 years in Corrections here. If that was a New Jersey DOC bus you would have 2 maybe 3 armed Officers on that bus with the right to shoot to stop any inmate escaping!
That's ridiculous, if he has help. He wouldn't of had to steal a truck. Or anyone paid off. He would of has a limousine waiting for him. He would of been long gone. Some of these comments are just plain stupid.
I want to know why the authorities did not warn residents in the area. This lack of warning resulted in the murder of the Collins family grandfather and 4 grandchildren.
He shouldn’t have even been on that bus. He should’ve been busting large boulders down to road base, growing and harvesting his own food, and especially without FREE electricity. 3 FREE meals a day. FREE television. FREE education. FREE healthcare. FREE transportation. I don’t have a bus come pick me up if I have to go to the doctor. They commit crimes and are treated like hotel guests with a schedule. Jails are not harsh enough.
If TDCJ would just use the black boxes like the FBOP does this would have never happened. Absolutely NO ONE has EVER been able to get out of the black boxes.
THERE should of been a stern Warning not to go to your vacation home intill he is captured. Because they were unable to find him, and they had no evidence he had left the AREA. Every body is to blame for this. Not just law enforcement.
You guys still want the rights to bear arms for your protection? Seems like those guns were definitely used for protection but by the hands of a murderer. The irony. Seems like a crazy trend nowadays.
TDCJ is fully responsible. Anytime an inmate is transported they should have a tracker put on them.
Sounds like you figure it out man, and for pretty cheap too. No committee needed.
@@thx1138thecrane 🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂
Dude he got out of restraints, a single person cage, and you think a tracker is the solution?
They should be Ticketed for unsecured cargo.

I don't think their pistols were labeled "FOR SHOOTING TIRES ONLY".
Everything about this is wrong.
Yes so true well we will SEE a lawsuit how stupid,this should not happen again well it will
TDCJ is 💯 percent responsible and I hope the family of the murdered victims sue the State of Texas for everything they can get it.
I agreed. They should sue them asap
I’m sorry BUT living like “Little House on The Prairie” in 2022 is not realistic. You need to lock your doors, Ma’am.
I totally agree. That is stupid!
Gotta agree wit Lord Vader on this one. Unlocked doors is a path to becoming a Force ghost..

Had they caught prisoners immediately after he escaped...the grandfather and his grandsons would be with with their families.
If Texas Law Enforcement has taught us anything about how they operate, they'll figure out a way to blame the victims.
Amen brother.
Amen Amen Amen to your comment
Put all prisoners in Guantanamo rather than on mainland
What I don't understand is the murderer was filmed running away & the officers didn't immediately go after him.Lopez was filmed by a citizen driver who stopped & filmed him running away into the woods .
They won't mention "how" the family of 5 were killed. (firearm, knife, hands?)
The animal obtained the weapons at the vacation house, so I imagine that’s how they died.
Killing all 5 it was probably an ambush and they never had a chance.He may have been in the house when they arrived with wepons loaded.
Supposedly does from knife wounds😔😔 I feel emotional thinking about what those kids went through.
They keep hiding it , I did some digging yesterday and apparently they were found with holes in them
From knife
I need Hard Evidence. . I am not buying this story
Were people of the community notified of a dangerous escapee in the vicinity?
The town is primitive. There’s only 1000 or less population. So, probably NOT!
@@vaderthekittenchannel1979 Yes but there is radio, internet, local convenience store, amber alerts, the killer was in the area for days

They need to put a steel gos band when transporting high profile criminals like this. They wont be able to cut it off without bolt cutters
How did he get so far?

Evedently, had help, wire cutters were,prison issued,to help.
@@joelgalvan8358 that makes sense.

Two should be enough. But they weren’t doing their job
They didn't TRACK him down.
He made it all the way to San Antonio from Centerville in a stolen truck. That's a few hours drive, yes, I live in Centerville.
I did 18 and a half years in prison . I never saw anyone come out the black box they put your wrists in , much less all this extra stuff.

Sounds like he had help
Seems like it
And lots of it
Of course
@@xdivineHART /Had help from the devil apparently.

Look at the bus…
That’s why he was able to escape 🤔
Why not able to catch up the very moment he escaped?
I hope media keeps the pressure on and pursues this story.. there's a TON of questions that need to be answered.
Someone needs to ask those liars at the TDCJ why they covered up the FACT that Lopez rode that same bus 14X before he made his escape.
Of course, TDCJ is not going to say or claim fault. That would open them up to major lawsuits not to say that won't happen anyway. The TDCJ is already underfunded and understaffed agency.

Heartbreaking let me tell you something dear officer who let him escape or who were looking for him You can't take responsibility for a chicken house
xhow did He escape
The gentleman remembered that he had a treasure to look for, then everything stopped to find it.
Law enforcement are to blame for this terrible news for not notifying the public about the escaped felon and made all efforts to capture him.
Too, busy riding ponys.cowboy hats and looking tuff. He was watching them.
If TDCJ would just use the black boxes like the FBOP does this would have never happened. Absolutely NO ONE has EVER been able to get out of the black boxes.
Zero information time fill (lack of) news. Down thumb.
Lol
Pine oil heaven for the sus.
“U know what the gas chamber smells like?” “Pine oil!”
They should warning the community that an escape inmate is lurking in the community. Why they travel without a companion
Tdcj was lazy
I see a lawsuit coming up
TDCJ messed this up big-time. There needs to be at least 3 armed guards on these transports.
TDCJ will never answer for their mistakes. They are backed by tuns of legal representation. That's why they do whatever they want.
They we’re scared to find him because he was a killer
FOLKS. SPOTLIGHT GOES ON THE GUARD WITH THE SHOTGUN. PERIOD.
That inmate was so bad he made OJ Simpson look like a Chick-Fil-A manager.

That is awful. And even today in 2022 for something like this to happen
No investigation will bring those four boys and grandfather back. That should've never happened
I'm ready for the results of the investigation
So the inmate was kill by the police ?
Pray for God to get me of my troubles and achieve my highest education goals and go to heaven
Texas law enforcement slacking. Citizens never disarm. Police can't help you when it comes down to it.
