Man Found Insane Escapes to Tajikistan | Washington DC News

A Virginia man found not guilty by reason of insanity for murdering his landlord vanished after being granted a weekend pass — flying from Dulles to Tajikistan with a layover in Istanbul. Despite prosecutors pushing for his continued confinement and a judge recently ordering him to stay hospitalized, he slipped through the cracks thanks to lax oversight at a mental health facility that allowed him to travel without escort. Now, authorities are scrambling to issue an international warrant, hoping to stop him if he ever returns — raising urgent questions about how such high-risk patients are monitored and protected.
