Insane Killer Escapes During Mental Institution's Field Trip

Thursday , September 17, 2009





Police are searching for killer committed to a mental institution after he escaped during a field trip to the Spokane County Interstate Fair.
Spokane County sheriff's Sgt. Dave Reagan says 57-year-old Phillip Arnold Paul was last seen Thursday morning in the northeast part of the fairgrounds.


The sheriff's office told KXLY in Spokane that they were "dismayed" that the Eastern State's Hospital didn't notify authorities for more than an hour and a half after they knew he was missing.
"It appears now there was a two hour lapse from the point he disappeared from his attendant to the sheriff's office was notified of his escape and obviously that's a concern to us," Sgt. Reagan told KXLY. "We're concerned that we were not aware that people of his criminal history were being brought to the fair for day trips. As a courtesy we would have liked to have been notified ahead of time."


In 1987, Paul slashed an elderly woman's throat in Sunnyside in 1987, soaked her body in gasoline to throw off search dogs and buried the remains in her flower garden.
He was later diagnosed as being criminally insane and suffering from schizophrenia, KXLY reported.
Paul claimed the voices in this head told him the woman was a witch, according to the station.
He was acquitted by reason of insanity but committed to Eastern State Hospital indefinitely.


Had the institution told the police about the incident earlier, the "odds of catching him would have been much greater," Reagan said.
Eastern State Hospital declined comment.


A store clerk told authorities she saw someone matching Paul's description later in the morning, and Reagan says investigators believe he has gotten outside the fairgrounds.
"His sister tells us he calls his parents in Sunnyside virtually every day and that if he's escaped he's headed home," Reagan told the station.
The fair's director told KXLY that they were unaware a group from the hospital was at the fair.


In 1996, a judge allowed Paul to attend Spokane Community College during the day as long as the went back to Eastern State Hospital at night, according to the station. Two years later another judge ruled he could have overnight visits in Spokane as long as an adult member of his fmaily was present.


It's not the first time Paul has escaped.
In 1990 he walked away from custody and attacked a sheriff's deputy who apprehended him.

A criminally insane, schizophrenic murderer who has escaped in the past was taken on a field trip..........


Holy shit what is wrong with people?

[lewisipso]

A field trip!? Are they serious?

[Captain America]

That would be almost comical if it wasn't for the fact that there is an insane killer on the loose. Liberals will be the death of us all yet with their feel good , naive bullshit. I guess he will be easy to find , just follow the trail of bodies. Where is Dr. Loomis when you need him?

[Shoestring]

They are afraid of what he will do when his Meds wear off

You know I was trying to come up with something witty and funny, but DAMN. Do these idiots let their kids play with foaming pit bulls when they are not letting psycho knife killers out to go to the f'ing fair? People like this should be encourage to get sloppy drunk and run with scissors.

Well....just remember that it is Washington State...the second most liberal state behind Mass. There are more dumb fucks working for DSHS in this state than aywhere in the world. Shit like this happenes every five years whether or not we need another insane killer let loose.

Just so you know that it is an equal opportunity deal....they also ingore small children regularly while they are being beaten to death by mothers boyfriends. I only wish I could say this is a joke.....it isn't.

Are you sure you aren't talking about California?

[CTR man]

Are you sure you aren't talking about California?

You took the words right out of my mouth. I was just thinking about that. Of course, I'd be willing to bet that many or most of Washington State's liberals were originally California residents thus boosting up their numbers. No wonder why they want us to keep out of their state.

You know, one of these days I'd love to see a victim's rights suit go to the Supreme Court.

To me, any judge or doctors who would release someone like that deserve to be sued for human rights violations to the victim, whenever someone is hurt or killed as a direct result of the release.

If it can be proven that the result should have been foreseen based on prior acts, then I wonder if it would fly?

Someone snitched him and he was arrested quietly about 15 miles east of Goldendale in Sourh Central WA.

The state agency that runs the mental hospitals is caled DSHS (Dept of Social and Health Services). It is inhabited by liberals that are cloned from an insane asylum but on another planet. The agency is a political & cultural end-product of Liberalism, living off other people's money, and shoveling money out the door with little accountability. Their failure to notify police of his disappearance is nothing new. That time was probably used to have a staff meeting , reach "consensus", talk to a lawyer, then to locate someone able to make a decision, any decision. If it can be ''administratively" buried, that is defined as "success".

[MacLean]

DSHS is *the* most fucked up agency in this State.

[Wolven]

At least he was caught. Wonder how long before he is allowed another "field trip" or other monstrosity?

[Pinki]

Sometimes I wonder if the patients are more sane than the staff in those institutions?

[Car 4]

He was caught....but here is the kicker boys and girls. They didn't search him before he left the hospital and therefore failed to find all of his extra clothes, money and other stuff he was gonna use to further his escape. When he was arrested, he had an old rusty sickle...wonder who he was gonna kill with that!!!!

It couldn't be any worse if everyone who works for DSHS dropped dead over night.
