Travis Lee Davis disappeared from the Pettis County Jail in Sedalia, Mo., over the weekend, sparking a manhunt that now spans multiple states. From the outside, the forbidding concrete walls and narrow slit windows of the Pettis County Jail make it look like a fortress was planted smack dab in the middle of the historical downtown area for Sedalia, Mo. Somehow, Davis managed to slip out of their grasp, too, leaving the smashed-up wreckage of a stolen police car in his wake. Dave Keller of the Pettis County Sheriff’s Office told KRCG on Tuesday. “I don’t think you ever plan for that to happen,” Pettis County Presiding Commissioner David Dick told KRCG.
