The convicted child killer, who slaughtered a 1 year old, had help from his family in escaping a North Carolina hospital, an escape that left him on the loose for three days, according to authorities.

Monique Brady, 43, has been arrested and charged with aiding and abetting her brother, child murderer Ramone Alston, in his escape from a North Carolina hospital on August 13.

He remained on the run for three days but was eventually tracked down and arrested at a motel in Kannapolis.

Jacobia Crisp was the first to be arrested and charged with assisting Alson in fleeing; however, he had reportedly not met him until after he was incarcerated for murder.

Alston and Crisp became involved in some type of relationship through phone communication, according to ABC 11.

The felon was in the middle of serving a life sentence for the Christmas Day slaying of 1-year-old Maleah Williams in 2015, earning him the title of "Christmas Day Killer".

A drive-by shooting into a crowd gathering outside an apartment complex in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, struck Maleah in the head.

"We don't have any added feelings about Mr. Alston; we're just displeased with the Department of Public Safety and their efforts to keep him in custody, or lack thereof. We wish Mr. Alston and his family nothing but peace, blessings, and prosperity," Maleah's father, Shaquille Williams, said in a statement Tuesday.

Williams noted that what bothered him most was that "somehow, he got out of his leg shackles."

"This investigation is ongoing; more arrests are possible. We owe it to our community and Maleah's family to hold everyone who assisted Alston accountable for the danger and fear their actions caused," Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood said.
