Agents of the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force have several leads, but they still have not captured a Senoia man who escaped from the Fayette County Jail Jan. 5.

A manhunt ensued shortly after he was discovered missing around 9 p.m. Jan. 5, but it yielded no arrest, officials said. The case was turned over to the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force comprised of agents from the U.S. Marshal's Office.
