"Hello and good evening. My name is Dr. Joan Leland and I am one of the leading psychiatrists here at this hospital. We have called this press release along with the Gotham City Police Department, to announce the escape of one of our high-security patients.
"Harleen Quinzel, better known as Harley Quinn, turned herself in willingly to our facility on July 21 of this year. The news was kept confidential in order to protect the patient and, up until two weeks ago, Ms. Quinzel was a model patient. An unknown accomplice broke into the asylum on October 7 and freed Ms. Quinzel from her cell. No doctors or guards were harmed in the escape process. The police were immediately informed, but since her disappearance we have not seen or heard from Ms. Quinzel. We call upon the public now to inform the GCPD immediately if you have any information that could lead us to Ms. Quinzel. Though we do not feel she poses a threat to anyone other than herself at this time, we must stress that you do not approach her. Call the police immediately. Again, any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
"Thank you for your time. I will now pass all questions along to Detective..."
