El Paso FBI in El Paso catches escapee charged in murders By Benjamin Keck El Paso Times A Kentucky prison escapee charged with murdering an elderly Tennessee couple was arrested in Downtown El Paso Wednesday by a team of 16 heavily armed FBI agents. William Eugene Hall, 25, of Paducah, was taken into custody at about 2:30 p.m. inside the Western Union office at 206 N. Stanton. Two other escapees from the maximum security prison at Eddyville, could be in El Paso or Juarez, FBI spokesman Terry Kincaid said.

They were identified as James Blanton, 29, of Farler, and Derek Quintero, 26, of Clarksville, Tenn. Both also are charged in the Tennessee slayings. At the time of the June 16 escape, Hall was serving 23 years for burglary, assault, theft, possession of a forged instrument and wanton endangerment. Blanton was serving 48 years for murder and Quintero was serving 37 years for robbery and kidnapping. The El Paso FBI office received a tip Wednesday morning saying that the three escapees were believed to be in El Paso.

Kincaid said agents staked out a number of Downtown locations looking for them when they spotted Hall. He was unsure if Hall went into the Western Union office because someone had wired him money or if he spotted agents and just ducked into the business. When Hall was seen, agents moved in. After questioning, Hall was booked into Paso County Jail on a fugitive warrant. When asked if Blanton and Quintero might have come to El Paso with Hall, and if they could still be in the city, Kincaid said, "We're looking into it.

It is a possibility." He said he did not know how Hall got to El Paso or how long he had been here. He did not know if the tip was the result of the three escapees being featured Sunday on the Fox network television show "America's Most Wanted." Hall, Blanton and Quintero were among nine inmates who escaped from the disciplinary segregation house of the prison June 16, Warden Bill Seabold said. warrant to answer charges of western Tennessee.
