EUGENE, Ore – An Oregon State Hospital patient found guilty except for insanity after murdering his mother in 2004 went missing in Eugene Thursday afternoon.
The Oregon Health Authority says 39-year-old Thaddeus Ziemlack was on an approved “therapeutic” visit to Alton Baker Park, when he ran away from hospital staff.
Police say he was found trying to hitchhike on a highway in Lane County.
It’s not the first time Ziemlack has escaped custody.
According to records, he also made a run for it back in 2006, 2009 and in 2020.
