GOSHEN, Ind. -- The second of two escaped inmates suspected of abducting a South Carolina woman during a multistate crime spree was captured Wednesday in Indiana. The woman's whereabouts were not immediately known.

Chadrick E. Fulks, 25, was being questioned Wednesday afternoon.

FBI agent Kathy Guider said federal agents had notified Goshen officials that Fulks might be headed there because his father and brother live in the area. Fulks was caught by a police officer after a short chase on foot, but Guider would provide no further details on the arrest.

FBI agent Tom VanWormer said it was not immediately clear if authorities were any closer to finding 44-year-old Alice Donovan.

Authorities believe the woman was kidnapped last week from a Wal-Mart parking lot in Conway, S.C., by Fulks and another escaped inmate, L. Branden Basham, who was captured on Sunday. Police said the woman's ATM card had been used near Raleigh, N.C., last week.

Fulks, 25, and Basham, 21, broke out of the Hopkins County jail in Kentucky on Nov. 4.

They are suspected of abducting a 42-year-old Kentucky man two days later and leaving him tied to a tree with duct tape and electrical cord. The man freed himself after 14 hours.

Basham was arrested Sunday after allegedly trying to hijack a car at an Ashland, Ky., mall.
