The inmates are identified as Rodney Joe Green, Matthew Brandon Cook and Kade Reaves Stringfellow.

Cook and Stringfellow were being held for an unspecified murder, the release from the sheriff’s department said.

The Poplar Bluff Police Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol joined the Butler County Sheriff’s Office in the search for the three men.
