3rd of 4 Teens Who Escaped Kearney Youth Center Is Captured

Grand-Island-PoliceKEARNEY, Neb. (AP) — The third of the four teens who escaped from a Kearney treatment center has been found and returned to the facility.

Grand Island police say the boy was captured Tuesday afternoon near Pier Park.

Four teens escaped Sunday night from the state’s Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Center. Police captured one near the facility, and a second was captured late Monday night during a traffic stop on the north side of Beatrice.

The status of the fourth teen is not clear. The state Department of Health and Human Services operates the facility, and spokesmen didn’t immediately return messages Wednesday from The Associated Press.
