Remember a while back when I told you all about the murderer on the run? And how he kidnapped an elderly couple and forced them to drive him to North Carolina? And he was captured finally?
Last night he escaped from the county jail. Our street is blockaded. Our house has been searched by soldiers. They seem to have found him next door. Shots fired. Bullhorns advising residents in the area to get on the floor and stay away from windows.
William and I are on the other side of the state, thankfully, but Tim is standing at a window watching it all go down. 'Get away from the window!' I yelped. He wants to watch. I said, 'could you at least turn off the lights...'
Men.
ReplyDeleteRather alarming. I can't imagine why he returned to the scene of one of his crimes. Local person?
ReplyDeleteHe was extradited. The county jail is 3 blocks from my house. The house next door is an apartment bldg with perhaps 4 apartments. The bottom apartment besresour house is empty. The front door is usually open. Opportunity. I don't know how Tjey pinpointed it. They are lobbing teargasnow.
ReplyDelete*nearest our house. My banner photo show the house. The grayish one. It is probably 15 feet from our house.
ReplyDeleteThat is so scary Debby, hope Tim keeps the door locked and you stay away.
ReplyDeleteHope that all turns out OK and that no-one is hurt, especially Tim!
ReplyDeleteGulp!
ReplyDeleteRelieved you weren't there...hope Tim did turn the lights out!
ReplyDeleteI do hope your story ends 'all's well that ends well.'
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love the punchline.
ReplyDeleteMakes life here sound positively dull!
ReplyDeleteHours later; he wasn’t there. (Linda G)
ReplyDeleteI'm so surprised he could escape! You would think an accused murdered would be securely locked up! Gee, Debby, I hope they find him and everyone is safe.
ReplyDeleteWell, damn. I don't know what else to say.
ReplyDeleteDear God! Well, at least you're not there. Who is this guy, Houdini?!
ReplyDeleteHe's a wily murderer, that one.
ReplyDeleteDamn, Tim. Everyone knows you can see out of your windows better if your lights are off.
Still on the loose, its on cnn
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you and William are far away now, and I hope Tim listened to your advice!! Fingers crossed that he’s apprehended and locked up better! Hope you’re able to enjoy your time away with your family🥰Ricki
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I hope he is caught soon. What a thing, right next door!
ReplyDeleteThis dude belongs in supermax.
ReplyDeleteWow, scary stuff. Hope he is caught soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is Maureen, commenting on phone, won't let me post in my name.

DeleteWow. That's all I can say is Wow.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes! I guess I must have some of what Tim has because even if I was down on the floor, I probably would be peering through the bottom corner of the window to see what is happening outside too.
ReplyDeleteGood grief! Good grief! Thank goodness you're all OK.
