<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">escapee</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for fugitive that I've seen before include "Person fleeing from the law" , "One on the run" , "One fleeing captivity" , "One is fleeing from the law" , "Runaway from justice" .)
