California prison officials are searching for a convicted murderer who escaped Dec. 2 after arriving at the Kern County Superior Courthouse in Delano, according to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Officers were transporting Cesar Hernandez to a court appearance at about 10:45 a.m. Monday when he jumped out of the van and escaped from the location about 150 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, the department reported.
Agents from the corrections department’s special services unit and units from North Kern, Kern Valley, and Wasco state prisons responded to the escape.
The California Highway Patrol and Delano and McFarland police departments are helping with the search.
Hernandez, 34, is 5 feet 5 inches and 161 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair, and was last seen wearing an orange top and orange pants.
The prisoner was sent to the Kern County facility from Los Angeles County on June 27, 2019. He was sentenced to 25 years to life with the possibility of parole for first-degree murder.
The conviction was Hernandez’s second strike, meaning he has a prior serious violent felony conviction.
The department is asking the public to call 911 if they see Hernandez or have knowledge of his whereabouts.
Since 1977, 99 percent of all convicts who have left an adult institution, camp, or community-based program without permission have been caught, according to the department.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
