Ten men escaped from a New Orleans jail on Friday, possibly with help from officials at the jail, and should be considered armed and dangerous, officials with the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office warned.
The inmates were able to break the locks on a door at 12:23 a.m. and then exited through a wall behind a toilet, pictured here, at 11 a.m. local time, the Orleans Parish Sheriff said at a press conference.

While Taylor Lee Olson, the suspect, initially denied involvement, investigators determined that his DNA matched evidence taken from various locations inside and outside the apartment Berry was murdered in.
