GRAND RAPIDS (WKZO) -- The mother of the girlfriend of an escaped inmate says she wants to hear directly from 17-year-old Brittany Rector, but is taking comfort in a phone call she received saying the teen is "okay."  Judith Olexa says the call came from a woman whose voice she didn't recognize, and the caller was crying as she reached out Wednesday.

Rector has been on the run for a week and a half with her boyfriend, 32-year-old Kenneth Grauman, another escapee Greg Bradshaw and Bradshaw's girlfriend.  The last time the four were spotted was in Kokomo, Indiana on Friday.
