After 35 years' escaped life from prison, Linda Darby, a 64-year-old grandmother who lived under the assumed name Linda Joe McElroy, was captured on October 12.
Darbay was a fugitve sentenced to life in prison in Indiana for murdering her husband who was shot to death and his body set ablaze in 1970.
After her conviction in the case, Darby served two years behind bars before she escaped from Indiana Women's Prison in March 1972 by going over a barbed-wire fence. She then moved to Tennessee where she married, had two children and started a new life — complete with a new name.
People who knew her these years were all shocked to learn the grandmother was a convicted murderer and prison escapee for decades, because she lived like a real good citizen while on the lam.
