Gusman's statement said only two inmates definitely escaped. He did not identify them, but records show that Matthew Sartain, 25, was captured in Polk County, Ga., and Kenneth Youngblood, 37, was arrested in Dallas, The Times-Picayune reported.
The newspaper said their new charges and arrest dates were unavailable, but Sartain had been held in New Orleans on charges of aggravated assault, being a felon with a firearm, and parole violation. Youngblood had been held for public intoxication.
Gusman said his office was not responsible for the inmates from St. Bernard Parish.
Schaefer was arrested Nov. 2, accused of shooting a retired computer operator near Laurel, Miss., and stuffing his body into a freezer, Jones County detective Matt Ishee told the newspaper.
"We also have him booked with burglary and theft during that crime, so we're looking to have him booked with capital murder," Ishee said. "When we picked him up, he admitted to the crime."
