Member and recent visitor of Longwood, this is creepy and somewhat exciting.
But I can certainly imagine the places he could be

[metirish]

Very scary , this POS needs to be caught

[whippoorwill]

The video of his escaping is spectacular

Sometimes, it helps to be 5'0" / 120.

Sometimes, it helps to be 5'0" / 120.

Yeah. Sometimes. But that ain't gonna help him so much if he eventually wants to come out of the woods and start going to places everyone else goes to -- like grocery stores and restaurants and places to buy socks and underwear.

[Edgy MD]

Easier to get lost in a crowd, though.

Tough part is finding a crowd.

[whippoorwill]

I can’t believe he hasn’t gotten farther away. I know the area fairly well and there is plenty of cover. Lots of woods, lots of large private estates, farmland, creek sides.
But that doesn’t mean he knows that.

A little bit at a time..but he’s still within a few miles of the prison. Crazy. I’d be a hundred miles away.

The little monkey…I know he’s a bad guy, but that escape video is awesome to watch. Have to admire that agility

That’s what I said to hubby!

[whippoorwill]

Never mind

I

[Edgy MD]

Will somebody please check on cooby?

[whippoorwill]

Thank you!
MFS checked and I am fine ❤️ he is a true friend!

I’m really thinking this is not going to end well

though

This guy's getting caught.
It's merely a matter of how soon and how cleanly.


I'm reminded that not only was James Earl Ray an escaped convict when he killed MLK Jr but he also escaped from prison after being sentenced for that crime. He remained on the loose for three days in the wilds of the eastern Tennessee mountains.
He was also 51 y/o at the time. The scent hounds eventually got him.

[Edgy MD]

I just fear it's also a matter of how much blood is spilled in the meantime.

We tend to spend our anniversaries visiting Pennsylvania, but each time we consider a different town to visit this weekend, we read that they're going on lockdown.

[MFS62]

The most recent report said he now has a rifle.
This is getting dicey.

Later

[whippoorwill]

Yes it actually is.
I live in PA, work outside, usually alone, in a rural area, and I’m pretty nervous

The most recent report said he now has a rifle.

Saw a chucklehead had an unsecured .22 in his garage that the
guy on the run stole. Chucklehead tried to take him out with some
pistol shots. Two failures. Making America Safe Again... not...

[ashie62]

I hope this guy can be popped before people get hurt

[metirish]

Captured

[MFS62]

That sound you heard was Cooby breathing a sigh of relief.
Later

[whippoorwill]

Lol yes indeed.

Mr Cooby called me just as I was getting to work.
I’m very relieved!

[metirish]

I can't imagine, desperate people are capable of anything, well done to law enforcement and the community

[whippoorwill]

There were some folks on Twitter that I kept checking what they were saying.

It was wild; hundreds of cops in their yards and fields and suddenly he’s gone again.

[Edgy MD]

I wonder how many fugitive escapees there are out there in the United States at any given time, and this guy had the bad luck to have the best publicist.

[metirish]

This seems ....wrong ?
