A convicted murderer serving a life sentence escaped prison and went unnoticed for days before a manhunt was launched.

42-year-old Porfirio Duarte-Herrera escaped from the Southern Desert Correctional Center in Nevada sometime late Friday night. It wasn’t until Tuesday morning at 7 a.m. headcount that prison officials noticed he was missing.

Duarte-Herrera was convicted of first-degree murder in 2009 for the death of his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend, Willebaldo Dorantes Antonio.

Duarte-Herrera and his co-defendant, Omar Rueda-Denvers, planted a pipe bomb on a car parked in a hotel garage in 2007. The targeted victims were the ex-girlfriend and Antonio, however, only Antonio was fatally injured when the bomb detonated. The ex-girlfriend was unharmed.

Both Duarte-Herrera and Rueda-Denvers were convicted and each sentenced to life in prison.

The escapee, who was at a medium-security facility, has now been missing for 5 days.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Governor Henry McMaster today signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency and activating the state’s emergency operations plan, which enables state agencies to prepare for Hurricane Ian’s potential impact to the state. The governor’s order directs the South Carolina Emergency Management Division to coordinate with all relevant state agencies and to be prepared to respond to any requests for state assistance from county emergency managers.

“It’s still too early to know exactly how Hurricane Ian will affect South Carolina, but preparations at the state level are well underway, and this declaration of emergency is another step in that process,” said Gov. Henry McMaster. “We do know we’ll see a lot of rain and significant storm surge on our coastline over the coming days – now is the time for each South Carolina to make plans for every contingency and be prepared.”
