Actually it was about 400 men, mostly Arizona personnel, that was involved in the hunt for Horning.
The search for Horning lasted 55 days. In the end, even though he had a .357mag, he surrendered meekly and peacefully, hiding under a gezebo, after a housewife spotted him getting a drink from a hose.
He was 33 years old, had excellent field craft skills, had already extensively hiked and camped the terrain, having grown up in the area, and he was in the physical condition of a marathon athlete.
He was also a dirtbag.
Daniel Ray "Rambo" Horning escaped from the Arizona State Prison in Florence, a small town to the southeast of Phoenix on Tuesday, May 12, 1992.
Danny Ray Horning is now rotting on California's Death Row at San Quentin. After they caught him he announced proudly that he would escape again. They kept him under close watch and maximum lockdown ever since then.
He was serving four consecutive life sentences in Arizona for aggravated assault, robbery, and kidnapping, all involving a 1991 bank robbery in the small town of Winslow, Arizona.
A career criminal and life long burgler, several other States had cases against him but stopped pursuing it after he went to jail for life in Arizona. One case that was never proven is where a fishing boat he was on in Alaska suspiciously sank, killing some people, the day after he left the crew.
After he was re-captured, he was extradited to California where he was indicted on a much older case where a Stockton man was bludgeoned to death in a robbery and dismembered. He was convicted of 1st degree murder and sentenced to death.
You think you are going to HAVE more than a dozen guys who WANT to chase somebody ,and who CAN leave their families, for what is highly likely to take months, and is certainly a suicide mission for most of you?
