Before the shooting, Gordon left a handwritten letter to his ex-wife sealed in an envelope with a fellow inmate.

The letter, released by officials, makes clear his intentions: not trying to die, and I want too (sic), just trying to get free and die It includes directions for his daughter to decide whether to have him cremated. It also says that if his escape plan succeeds, be in hiding, and if his ex- wife ever has any problems, she can post it on Face- book and care of it like Calls from the Free Press on Friday to Berrien County Office, the Berrien Couny Court Administrator and Sepic immediately returned.
