NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A man who identifies himself as New Orleans jail escapee has released videos on social media while still on the run from authorities. A senior law enforcement official says authorities were so convinced the videos were authentic that they searched a home late Monday where they believe escapee Antoine Massey recorded them. The official said Massey wasn’t in the home, but some clothes he apparently wore during filming were found there. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation into the May 16 breakout by 10 inmates. Eight have since been recaptured.
