2 women walk away from Nevada prison camp

Two women being housed at Jean Conservation Camp walked away from the minimum-security facility Friday night, the Nevada Corrections Department wrote in a statement Saturday morning.

The inmates, Chrystal Uebel and Krystal Ann Holm, walked away from the camp, south of Las Vegas, about 9 p.m. Friday, the statement said.

Uebel, 33, arrived at the Corrections Department on Sept. 14 and was serving up to three years for possession of a stolen vehicle. She is about 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 157 pounds, and has brown hair and blue eyes and several tattoos, including a rose with angel wings on her left forearm and a letter “B” with a crown on her neck.

The statement did not describe Holm. According to Corrections Department records, Holm, also 33, is 5 feet tall, weighs 130 pounds and has blond hair and green eyes.

She was serving up to five years for burglary, Corrections Department records show.

A retake warrant has been issued for both women. Anyone with information about either woman should call 911, the statement said.
