Insane killer from Spokane still on the loose

The Spokane County sheriff's office has put out a statewide alert for a mentally ill killer who escaped during a hospital field trip to the Spokane County Interstate Fair.

SPOKANE, Wash. —

The Spokane County sheriff's office has put out a statewide alert for a mentally ill killer who escaped during a hospital field trip to the Spokane County Interstate Fair.

Sgt. Dave Reagan says Phillip Arnold Paul remains at large Friday and officials believe he's headed to Sunnyside where his parents live.

Reagan says the longer Paul is off his medication, the more unstable he'll become. Anyone spotting him should call 911 and not try to confront him.

The 57-year-old was last seen yesterday on the fairgrounds during a supervised outing for patients from Eastern State Hospital.

He was committed after he was acquitted by reason of insanity in the 1987 slaying of an elderly woman in Sunnyside.
