A CONVICTED murderer who was mistakenly released after a court appearance in Chicago was back in custody after US authorities tracked him down at a house about 100km away.
Steven L. Robbins, 44, was rearrested late Friday night without incident in the Illinois town of Kankakee, authorities said.
Although the details of his capture weren't immediately released, officials said they used various leads and interviews with friends and family members at police headquarters to locate him.
The reason Robbins was able to escape in the first place, Illinois officials acknowledged, was because they lost paperwork directing them to return him over the state border to Indiana, where he has been serving a 60-year sentence.
He was escorted by Cook County sheriff's deputies to Chicago this week for a court appearance in a separate case involving drug and armed violence charges - a case that had actually been dismissed in 2007.
After appearing before two Cook County Circuit Court judges, Robbins was taken to a jail on Chicago's South Side.
He was released hours later, instead of being sent back to Indiana to continue his murder sentence.
