NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Nearly a month after Derrick Groves and Antoine Massey escaped from the Orleans Parish Justice Center, NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick is making a direct appeal to the fugitives and offering help if they turn themselves in.

Lee Taylor, the grandfather of Antoine Massey, told CBS News that he's concerned for his grandson's safety and is pleading for him to turn himself in.

During the investigation that followed the massive jailbreak, families of the inmates who have been recaptured are beginning to hear from their loved ones.

U.S. Marshals believe escaped inmates Derrick Groves and Antoine Massey could be caught soon, even as the large-scale search effort winds down.
