Gordon Apostolas, 54, pictured left, is still on escape status after also allegedly failing to return to his housing unit last week. Apostolas – a registered sex offender with a lengthy criminal history – was admitted to prison in January on duty to report charges and was eligible for parole next year.

Back in 1991, he was convicted of attempted aggravated felonious sexual assault in Maine. Since that time, he has been convicted of duty to report four times. Apostolas has also been convicted of assault numerous times as well as threatening, robbery, theft, escape, resisting, and controlled drug; acts prohibited.

The New Hampshire State Police and the New Hampshire Department of Corrections Investigations Bureau is investigating both men and are asking anyone with information to call local law enforcement agency or the New Hampshire State Prison at 603-271-1801.
