Eureka County, Nevada – Law enforcement agencies are currently searching for an escaped inmate from the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) facility in Eureka County. The fugitive’s name is Jose Salvador Elias, and he managed to evade authorities and disappear from custody, which has led to a massive search operation. This sudden turn of events is quite alarming.

The search for Elias, initiated by the Eureka County Sheriff’s Office (ECSO) in conjunction with the NDOC, commenced after a distressing call regarding a missing inmate was received around 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
