Escape and Death
Garrow escaped from the Fishkill prison on September 8, 1978. He was in possession of a .32 caliber pistol he had obtained from his son, who concealed the weapon inside a bucket of chicken he brought to his father during a visit. Garrow was spotted by guards three days later a few hundred yards away from the prison walls. Garrow shot at his pursuers, but was killed when they returned fire.
