Police officers discovered [Correll's] prison clothes in the basement of a house belonging to Donald Blue located one and one quarter (1%) miles from the State Farm. Blue's house was broken into and clothes, food, and a shotgun were taken. A chair was found overlooking the house trailer of Mary Jo Kellam, located across the street from Blue's house. Kellam arrived home from work at about 1:00 a.m. that night. Shortly thereafter [Correll], armed with the stolen shotgun, broke into Kellam's trailer and demanded beer and a ride to Indianapolis. At Indianapolis, while the temperature was below freezing, [Correll] forced Kellam into the trunk of the car, from which she eventually escaped."”
