JASON RETURNS...
Jason Mark Carter captured after escaping mental institution
Just in...
The Oconee County Sheriff's Office said Jason Mark Carter, 39, was picked up in Williamson County, Tenn., but not other details were available.
Carter was arrested in March 2006 after neighbors in Seneca reported his mother, Debra Ann Perkins, and stepfather Kevin Perkins, missing. Police found him hunched over the bodies of the victims, who had been shot in the head with a .22 caliber handgun.
Two and a half years later, a judge found Carter not guilty by reason of insanity and sent him to a mental health facility in Columbia, S.C. It's unclear how he escaped Thursday morning but police believe he stole a 1991 Chevy van.
During Carter's trial, he was described as schizophrenic and delusional. Investigators said he had followed the Grateful Dead around, lived with the homeless in San Francisco and got involved in drugs in the jungles of Costa Rica, according to the Anderson Independent-Mail.
He believed he had special powers and could dodge bullets (HOTD: shit, I was only kidding about the bullets upthread - eerie) and that he was being hunted by the mob and government agents with the help of his stepfather and his brother. Authorities found a collection of pornography, sex toys, books about the occult and "The Terrorist's Handbook" among his belongings, testimony showed.
His grandfather, B.S. Pope, tried to convince the court that Carter was crazy like a fox and should stand trial for murder.
"He has manipulated his parents from the day of his birth," the grandfather said at a hearing.
"He's come in this court with a smart lawyer and a psychiatrist and done it to ya'll. He killed two great people for no other reason than robbery. He's stole, took drugs and spent his life in a worthless manner. I know he knows right from wrong; he's just good at it."
