Pennsylvania ? A killer who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison in a trash can was captured in California after boasting of an appearance on Fox’s “America’s Most Wanted,” state police said Sunday.

Malcolm Kysor, 54, was arrested Saturday in a Bakersfield, Calif., park after someone notified police about the claim, police said.

Kysor was carried out in a truck hauling garbage from the medium-security State Correctional Institution at Albion, near Girard in northwestern Pennsylvania. He had been serving a life sentence since 1988 for an early 1980s slaying in Erie County.

An investigation found prison staff negligent, saying workers failed to conduct routine security measures.
