Escaped Inmate Recaptured in Chambersburg After Fleeing Hospital

A woman who escaped custody from Franklin County Jail was apprehended less than an hour after fleeing a hospital in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Authorities say the inmate, identified as Kylaha Seman, escaped while at Chambersburg Hospital and was last seen in the vicinity of the Chambersburg Area Senior High School before her capture later that day.

Seman, a white female standing approximately 5 feet 1 inch tall, was last seen wearing striped prison-issued clothing marked with “FCJ” on the back. Law enforcement officials issued a warning to the public not to approach her and to contact emergency services with any information. The incident triggered a localized search and public alert.

Authorities located and apprehended Seman under an hour after the initial escape was reported. There were no reported injuries, and no further details have been released regarding how she escaped custody at the hospital.

The Franklin County urged community members to remain vigilant during the short-lived manhunt. Seman has since been returned to custody, and officials have not yet indicated whether additional charges will be filed in connection to the escape.
