“1) The defendant at any time, with the purpose to avoid detection, apprehension or prosecution, flees from the state, is outside the state, or is absent from his usual place of abode within the state; or 2) The defendant cannot be tried because of insanity or because his presence for trial cannot be obtained by legal process, or for any other cause beyond the control of the state; or 3) The defendant fails to appear at any proceeding pursuant to actual notice, proof of which appears of record.”
