Sure, it's not surprising that prisoner escapes still happen. That will probably always be the case.

But in an era of infinite cameras, 24/7 news coverage, high-tech surveillance technology, and modern police tactics, how is it possible for a prisoner to stay escaped like this?

Authorities are searching Monday for an inmate who police say was last seen "casually walking" along a street in Richmond, Virginia, after escaping from a hospital over the weekend.

Naseem Roulack, who is serving a 13-year-sentence on charges of aggravated malicious wounding, grand larceny and hit-and-run, fled the supervision of two Virginia Department of Corrections security officers at Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital around 6 a.m. Saturday, officials said.

The dude left the hospital "wearing a white gown, white socks [and] no shoes." Somehow he managed to get into normal clothes. He was last spotted walking down an affluent suburban street in the area. And nobody's seen him since.

Let me re-emphasize: Nobody's seen him since, even after a multi-day massive manhunt by state and local police, including with helicopters, K-9 units and foot patrols.

I mean, look, I don't doubt this guy will be caught eventually. Criminals have a tendency of being apprehended one way or the other. It comes with the territory.

But how does a guy evade so massive a search effort for even a few days? How does he vanish from a residential area in which an escaped convict should've stuck out like a sore thumb? Where is he getting his resources?

I'll be very interested to hear how he did it once he's caught!
