Kaylee, what do we know?</s>KAYLEE HARTUNG, CNN CORRESPONDENT REPORTER: Well, Fred, air support, canine tracking dogs and ground units are hard at work right now on the lookout now for Cedric Marks trying to take this fugitive back into captivity. It was a little after 7:00 a.m. this morning when that private prison transport he was in, that van stopped in a McDonald's for the drivers to get a bite to eat. Marks was able to escape on foot. He took off in a search in suit. And he was in the process of being extradited from Michigan where U.S. Marshals had found him. There was a warrant out for his arrest for burglarizing the home of his ex-girlfriend with the intention to commit another felony. The U.S. Marshals found him there. He was in the process of coming back to Bell County, Texas. That's not far from Austin, again, as this man is facing multiple murder charges. Authorities say if you do see him, do not approach him. Call 911 immediately. He is believed to be extremely dangerous, Fred.</s>WHITFIELD: All right, Kaylee Hartung, thank you so much. And we'll be right back.
