The head of Nevada's Department of Corrections has resigned in the wake of an escape by a convicted bombmaker that went unnoticed for four days.
in Las Vegas on Wednesday night as he prepared to board a bus out of town.
Lombardo said Thursday at a joint news conference with an FBI special agent and the head of the U.S. Marshal's Service for Nevada that they were fortunate to catch up with Duarte-Herrera so quickly given he had a “four-day head start” before anyone knew he was missing. The Department of Corrections has been silent on the circumstances of the escape from the beginning and officials declined to attend Thursday's news conference on the escape. Efforts to reach Daniels on Friday weren’t immediately successful. No personal phone number is listed for him and department spokespeople did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking assistance reaching Daniels for comment.
In staff meetings after two inmates died by suicide within seven hours of each other in the same unit at High Desert, Daniels proceeded to “berate the medical and mental health staff," which the letter-writers called the beginning of “a witch hunt and blame game.” At the second meeting, Daniels allegedly showed up an hour late and “screamed at the staff present in the room and pounded his fist on the podium,” shouting that “no one here is special, and everyone is replaceable.
