A growing number of New Orleans fugitives' friends and family arrested for aiding in jail escape.

Records show how some of the fugitives received aid before and after their escape.

A former jail employee is accused of driving escapee Lenton Vanburen to a relative's home and helping him FaceTime family.

Another friend later offered him a hiding place in a vacant apartment he had been hired to repaint.

Vanburen 's sisters met up with him the night of his escape at a family member's residence where he was able to shower, change clothes and was given toiletries.

Another family member later reportedly took him to a relative's home in Mississippi .

Two men arrested this week were accused of helping him find shelter in a hotel — paid for in cash — and an apartment undergoing renovation.

The Baton Rouge court system had no record of their legal representation.
