Cedric Marks managed to escape while authorities stopped for food in eastern Texas.

Marks was being transported from Michigan to Texas.

Police say they found Marks hiding in a trash can, in a town near Houston.

Marks is being looked at as the possible killer of a woman and man from Texas whose bodies were found in rural Okfuskee County last month.

Marks has past ties to the Tulsa area.
