Constable Mike Connor said he apparently left a door unlocked in the Chevrolet van, which he owns and uses to transport offenders to and from prison. He said the men may have been in the van for as long as an hour.

Upon opening the van for Olson and Letchford, Connor said the two said they did not recall how they got into the van.
