Well it’s over. One of my top 5 toughest hunts ever has come to an end today. My relentless hunting finally paid off. I had literally been to 25 motels and talked to 30 or so people. I was looking for any sighting of her. I had finally found a guy she pissed off and he told me the last intersection he had dropped her off at and which alley she walked down. So I started there 2 days ago.
I drove around all day today and talked to everyone I could find outside. Finally I notice an elderly lady sitting outside. Elderly people sit outside alot and will know everyone who walks by. I show her a picture and she says ” that girl was just here 2 hours ago, she walked up the road to the store”. Awesome, something real solid.
I begin to drive around the store and as I turn around, I look down a road and about half way down see two people that look like my fugitive and her boyfriend. I drive past and about 50 yards away I notice two sheriffs deputies hangin out in a parking lot. I pull into them and tell them whats goin on and that I think my girl is walking to the store now. The deputy gives me his cell # and to call him if it’s her. I find alot of officers will give you their work cell number’s. It’s WAY more convienent that calling 911 or calling the sheriffs office non-emergency number.
So I pull into the store and I notice my fugitive’s boyfriend standing outside. She’s nowhere in sight. I figure she’s inside buying something. I call the officer and tell him they are here.
I go inside and ask the clerk where the girl is that walked in here. He says in an Indian store clerk voice ” She’s in the bathroom”. I stand in the isle facing the bathroom and pull my tazer and wait. Finally after weeks of hunting, Im face to face with my fugitive!! I scream and yell for her to get down and she does without incident. She’s cuffed and booked in on a no bond. She was to turn herself in for 5 year prison sentence but did not. Now the judge will most likely give her the max penalty which is probably much more than 5 years. Usually double or triple. Usually. Total bond recovered was $22,000. I rank her #5 in my top ten all time toughest hunts.
