First name Richard
Richard William Matt was an American murderer known for several prison escapes, most notably the 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility escape. A native of the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area where he grew up in foster homes, Matt was a career criminal who served several prison terms for various crimes, escaping several times before he and an accomplice murdered his former boss, William Rickerson in December 1997. After fleeing to Mexico to avoid capture, he murdered a second man, Charles Perrault in February 1998 while attempting to rob him and received a 23-year sentence. After being extradited back to the United States in 2007 and being convicted for Rickerson's murder, Matt began serving a 25 year to life sentence for second-degree murder at the Clinton Correctional Facility. In June 2015, he and fellow prisoner David Sweat escaped from the facility, and after twenty days on the run trying to escape to Canada, he was killed by the U.S. Border Patrol.
