Somehow he eluded authorities and got back to Detroit." "I don't think we can say we know the particular mode of transportation.

I don't want to say he had help, but we're investigating the possibility." Welch said McNally has "visible bruises." He said McNally had bruises on his left thigh, under his arms, his wrist and parts of his face, "probably from parachute straps."
