In their search for a missing former corrections official and an inmate facing murder charges, authorities announced a key discovery Friday: they located the car they previously believed the pair was traveling in.
The car had been in a Tennessee tow lot for about a week, after local officials found it abandoned in the woods and without any identifying information last Friday -- the same day the pair went missing -- and had it towed.
It means the two drove roughly two hours north to Williamson County, Tennessee, after disappearing from a county jail in Florence, Alabama, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said during a Friday news conference.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
