What is richard lee mcnair?

Richard Lee McNair is an American criminal who gained notoriety for his multiple prison escapes and ability to evade capture for an extended period of time. Born in Oklahoma in 1958, McNair was convicted of murder, attempted murder, and other crimes in the 1980s and 1990s.

In 1987, McNair killed a truck driver during a burglary in North Dakota and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. However, he managed to escape from prison in 1992 by mailing himself out in a crate. After being recaptured in 1993, he escaped again in 2006 by using lip balm to squeeze out of his handcuffs and posing as a guard during a prison transport.

McNair remained on the run for over a year, during which time he assumed multiple false identities and traveled across the country. He was finally apprehended in 2007 in Canada and extradited back to the United States to serve his life sentence.

McNair's ability to outsmart law enforcement and evade capture for so long has made him a subject of fascination and study in the field of criminal justice. He is currently serving his sentence at the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado.
