The XO Directory

It's hard to believe that this 29-year-old, innocent-looking woman named Sarah Pender is the most wanted woman in America right now. She is serving a 110-year sentence before she escaped in August from the Rockville Correctional Facility in Indiana. Pender was convicted in 2002 on two counts of murder of her two roommates.

While serving her sentence, prison authorities believe Pender befriended a correctional officer, who allegedly helped her escape. Prison security footage on the day she escaped shows Pender walking toward a prison exit at the same time the guard drove into the facility to get gasoline. Authorities believe the guard hid her in the vehicle and drove her off the prison grounds where she met up with her get-away driver.

“Sarah Pender is a dangerous fugitive and poses a threat to anyone she comes in contact with,” said Director John F. Clark of the United States Marshals Service. “Pender’s addition as a 15 Most Wanted fugitive underscores our commitment to use all of our available resources to bring her to justice.”
