Two inmates escaped from the Yukon Kuskokwim Correctional Center in Bethel Saturday, but not for long. The two got out by wriggling their way through a storm grate. They were found at a homeless camp and taken back to custody on Sunday after a manhunt that involved six different agencies. Both were considered dangerous.
Wilson Beaver, 43, is a violent sex offender who was recently convicted of burglary and sexual assault. He had been due to be sentenced on September 21. The other escapee was Carl Konig, 31. He was being held awaiting trial on several assault charges.
Beaver and Konig are now also charged with Escape in the Second Degree.
