Farmington, MO – The only man to escape Missouri's sexual predator lock-up in Farmington is back in custody in St. Francois County.
Thomas Ingrassia escaped more than two years ago to Florida, where he assumed the identity of his half brother. He also married a woman who grew suspicious of his real identity.
The former St. Charles resident is a serial rapist with at least four victims in Missouri.
The 47-year-old will face a destruction-of-property charge in connection with his escape on October 7, 2001.
Ingrassia is the only person to flee the unit since it opened in Farmington in 1999.
