The Hugh Mongus File: The Prisoner Who Vanished From a Sealed Cell

from Inspector Story

Hugh Mongus killed over 100 people with his thumb. He escaped a maximum security prison by flushing himself down a toilet and crawling through miles of sewage. 67 days later, he was caught trying to get a job at the same prison. They sent him to Filigan's Island — the most secure facility on Earth — and locked him in the basement. Then a tsunami buried the whole prison under the ocean for five years. When it resurfaced, investigators found every body inside. Every single one. Except Hugh's. His cell was still locked. He was gone.
