Texas fugitive's prints found in Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY - Investigators on Saturday matched fingerprints found in a burglarized home to one of four inmates who escaped from a Texas jail. <br> <br> The fingerprints found in the house in Terral belonged to Joshua Bagwell, 23, authorities said. <br> <br> Investigators also discovered two beds that had been slept in, cigarette butts in coasters, eaten food and some missing clothes at the burglarized house, which is a weekend residence for an Oklahoma City man, Jefferson County Sheriff Stanley Barnes said. <br> <br> ``At least one of them was in the area, because his prints were confirmed,&#39;&#39; Barnes said. An analysis of fingerprints taken from another burglarized home in nearby Ryan was inconclusive, officials said. <br> <br> <br> <br> A truck believed to have been stolen by the four escapees was found at a state park on Saturday. <br> <br> Investigators were checking the vehicle for fingerprints and other evidence as they continued searching for the fugitives, said Richard Goss, an inspector with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. <br> <br> The flatbed truck was reported missing on Friday from a residence in Jefferson County, and was found Saturday morning at Lake Murray State Park in adjacent Carter County, about 40 miles away, Goss said. <br> <br> A .22-caliber revolver also was taken from the Jefferson County home near Terral, which is across the Red River from Texas. <br> <br> All the fugitives are from the region. In addition to Bagwell, of Waurika, authorities identified them as Curtis Gambill, 24, of Terral; and Chrystal Gale Soto, 22, and Charles Jordan, 30, both of Bowie, Texas. <br> <br> Bagwell and Gambill were serving life sentences for the 1996 shotgun killing of an Oklahoma high school cheerleader. The others were awaiting trial on charges of murdering an elderly couple. <br> <br> They fled the Montague County, Texas, jail on Monday after two of them overpowered a guard with a homemade knife. The four then stole a sport utility vehicle.
