MANCHESTER, N.H.- Questions are growing about the events that led to a patient recently escaping from Concord hospital.

The concerns are growing after Keri Pagnozzi, 46, fled the campus Wednesday afternoon around 3:30 p.m. which resulted in State Police issuing multiple alerts including a warning not to approach her and to call 911.

State Police say Pagnozzi was then taken into custody around 8 p.m. resulting in a second alert from authorities saying that the induvial in question had been captured.

As for how the 46-year-old woman who prior to being taken to Concord Hospital, was being treated at New Hampshire Hospital, managed free herself, officials from Concord Hospital aren’t saying.

When asked for comment New Hampshire State Police told WMUR-TV that they were working on a written statement but failed to release one before days end.
