Accused Murderer on the Run: Hildebrandt Codd Evades Capture Three Days After Escape

After being on the run for over three days, tonight, escaped accused murderer Hildebrandt Codd remains on the lam. On Tuesday, Codd and Jesse Mejia jumped out of a High Court window after police removed their handcuffs and left them inside a courtroom to wait. The men made a run for it, but Mejia, a convicted double murderer, was captured shortly after and detained. However, Codd, who was awaiting the verdict for the 2020 murder of Densmore Bowman, remains a threat to the public. Assistant Commissioner of Police Hilberto Romero provided an update today on the efforts to capture him.  

ACP Hilberto Romero, Officer Commanding Eastern Division: “We have still not captured Hilderbrand Codd. We are seeking the public’s assistance to help us to locate this person. If anyone sees him you can call 9-1-1 or 9-2-2 TIPS and give the information and we’ll act upon the information. We have several checkpoints countrywide and several operations continue to be carried out to try and capture him but so far he has not been captured.”

Reporter: Do you guys believe that he is trying to leave the country ?

ACP Hilberto Romero, Officer Commanding Eastern Division: “We are not certain. We continue to do checks and searches and so far nothing. That is the reason we want to bring him so that he is not out there and poses any threat to the general public so we’re asking the public for their assistance to capture him. We have reviewed our strategies and yes we are putting things in place to prevent this from occurring. In the case of the incident at the Supreme Court these officers have been placed on charge and they’ll be dealt with because we found negligence on their behalf in regard to this escape.”

If you have any information about Codd’s whereabouts, you are asked to call the police.
