Women Who Escaped From Prison

Susan LeFevre

Marie Walsh was a soccer mom with three kids. She was married to a waste industry executive, lived in a $800,000 house, and drove a Lexus, but she wasn’t exactly who she claimed to be. US marshals knocked on her door and asked if she was Susan LeFevre, a name she hadn’t gone by since she broke out of a Michigan prison in 1976.She served more than a year of a ten- to 20-year sentence for drug charges before escaping prison. She managed to climb over barbed wire and ran to a nearby street, where her grandfather was waiting to pick her up. She bummed a ride to California weeks later, where she would live until being caught 32 years later.
