Fugitive Woman Arrested After 33 Years

(Detroit, Michigan) A 57-year-old escapee from the Scott Correctional Facility, Rebecca Hatcher, was arrested Friday in Camden, Tenn. Hatcher had been a fugitive for 33 years following her escape in 1975. She had been serving a one to 15 stretch for assault with intent to rob.

Authorities say Hatcher settled in Camden, got married, had a child and opened a beauty salon in the western Tennessee town located about 100 miles west of Nashville. She has a 29-year-old daughter.

It wasn't immediately known whether her family knew of her past.

After her escape, she married Larry Ross and was living under the name Rebecca Ross.

U.S. Marshals, in conjunction with the Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team, tracked Hatcher down. She was booked into the Madison County Jail in Jackson, Tenn., to await extradition to Michigan.
