28 YEARS ON LAM ENDS IN ARREST

State investigators called Tampa police Thursday morning with a tip.

They had learned the alias for Michael Hess, a man who escaped from prison in 1979, and might be living in Tampa.

The case landed back in the hands of the agency that first put him away.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement records show that Hess, an Illinois native, was arrested in Tampa for the first time in 1971 for military desertion and was discharged from the service.

In 1972, he was arrested on five counts of armed robbery, one count of marijuana possession and grand larceny.

Those charges led to a conviction. After eight years in prison, he managed to escape in 1979, according to police.

State records show he received at least 35 years in prison, though Tampa police said it was actually 65 years. He served just eight before he disappeared.

The FDLE gave Tampa police Detective Rick Cochran just one address to go on near Temple Terrace and the alias Charles Swiger, a Tampa man who died in 1973.

They also told Cochran that Hess had an extremely high IQ

German Nazi politician (1894–1987)

This article is about the Deputy Führer to Adolf Hitler. For the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp, see Rudolf Höss. For the Californian artist, see Rudolf Hess (artist).

Rudolf Walter Richard Hess (Heß in German; 26 April 1894 – 17 August 1987) was a German politician and a leading member of the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany. Appointed Deputy Führer to Adolf Hitler in 1933, Hess held that position until 1941, when he flew solo to Scotland in an attempt to negotiate the United Kingdom's exit from the Second World War.
