Federal officials had virtually nothing to say two days after Leonard Francis' stunning escape from house arrest in San Diego
At 6 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing somewhere north of 300 pounds, and with a resonant baritone speaking voice, Leonard Glenn Francis is hard to miss.
On Tuesday, federal authorities released a new mugshot and wanted poster for Francis, who at long last was set to be sentenced after pleading guilty in 2015 to bribery and other charges.But officials released few other details about the hunt for Francis. “If he money, he could go to a private airfield and get on a private charter plane to a safe country ... or a country more friendly to him,” Caine said.Leonard Francis, who has been under house arrest in San Diego for years, cut off his GPS monitoring bracelet on Sunday
Where were the guards? Neighbors have since told authorities about seeing moving vans at the home on successive nights the week before he escaped. The name of the security company has not been made public but kept tightly under wraps, as so many details about Francis’ life since 2018 have been. Pretrial Services was alerted Sunday morning to an anomaly with Francis’ GPS ankle bracelet, and Francis’ defense team went to check on him, knowing he has a history of health issues. An attorney called San Diego police about 1:45 p.m., saying Francis was not answering their knocks or messages, and asked for a welfare check at the home in the Torrey Highlands neighborhood, according to police officials.
Later in that same hearing an unidentified physician who was treating Francis for his many medical issues said that the landlord for that residence was also a doctor. At a June 2018 hearing a representative of the Marshals Service said that it was best for Francis not to come back into the custody of the service, since his complicated medial problems posed a challenge for it.
“I’ve been a judge for, gosh, more years than I would care to admit,” she said at one hearing, where Francis listened in on the phone. “I think it’s, you know, approaching 27, 28 years now, and, Mr. Francis, I think you’re the only person where a medical furlough that has extended for that period of time has existed.”By March 2021 Francis seemed better off than when his medical furlough began.
