We know Richard Matt is a convicted killer on the loose. We know, thanks to my colleague Jordan Sargent. Now we also know that Matt, for some weird reason, has this massive Marine Corps tattoo, even though the Marines say he never served.
The Marine Corps Times has the scandalous details:
Images released of Richard Matt, convicted of killing and dismembering his boss, show that he has the Marine-style tattoo on his right shoulder. The eagle, globe and anchor became the Corps’ official emblem in 1955, and Matt’s tattoo raised questions about whether he was a veteran.
But the Marine Corps has no record of Matt serving, Yvonne Carlock, a spokeswoman with Manpower and Reserve Affairs, told Marine Corps Times.
Indeed, a Gawker search turned up no military records for Matt—whose other shoulder tattoo originally read “Mexico Forever.” His fake Marine tattoo may help explain why, as one ex-cop who put him away says it, “He gets girlfriends any place he goes.” Add stolen valor to the list of this fugitive’s crimes, along with two prison breaks and kidnapping, robbing, and killing his “76-year-old boss, William Rickerson, whose headless torso and legs were found in the Niagara River."

Well. He officially just became the most "unofficially" hunted man in the world now. See you soon Matt.

No knowledge of Richard Matt, the article seems to indicte with little doubt his tattoo and claims of service are lies.

Honestly a little disappointed in 'rallypoint editorials' on this one. What value does this story add?

In the original reports about his escape they mentioned the USMC tattoo. I was disappointed to hear that this guy may have been in the Corps. This article sheds some additional light on what type of jerkoff they are dealing with.

Should have this MF get his ass beat then remove his tattoo. Although my first reaction was like the picture posted.
