Police believe missing child killer Alan Giles may be sleeping rough in woodland and have appealed to dog walkers to keep a look out.
The 56-year-old fled from an "open" section of HMP Hewell, near Redditch, in Worcestershire, on Monday morning.
Giles, originally from the Oldbury area of the West Midlands, was jailed for 19 years for kidnapping and murdering Kevin Ricketts in 1995.
The 16-year-old's body was not found until 1998, after Giles asked to speak to West Midlands Police while serving his sentence.
Detectives say Giles could be sleeping rough, possibly in woodland, and are appealing to dog walkers, hikers, and farmers to call police immediately if they spot him. They say he should not be approached.
Police are concentrating their hunt on the Redditch and South Warwickshire areas, although Giles has friends and family in other parts of the West Midlands.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Judge said police have "safeguarding measures in place" to protect Kevin's family who have been told the killer is at large.
Police have appealed to Giles to hand himself in "We are urging the public to help us by staying alert and calling us if they think they have seen Alan Giles," he said.
"He could be sleeping rough and may be using barns or other outbuildings to shelter. He may be on foot and could also be using public transport."
Police also made a direct appeal to Giles, who is eligible for consideration for parole next year, to hand himself in.
The motive for him leaving prison is not clear, and detectives are concerned about his state of mind.
Det Chief Insp Judge also warned that anyone harbouring Giles could face serious consequences.
Giles is described as white, 5ft 9in, with short grey hair and blue eyes. He has tattoos of an eagle on his back and a swallow, shark and flower on his left arm.
It is believed he is wearing a grey Rockport sweater, blue jeans and white Asics trainers.
