I usually take the back way through the hills when I'm coming home from Church city. I don't often see traffic on the road but I did see three cars bunched up far ahead of me. I came around a corner and saw the first two cars going on but the last one had turned cross ways in the road and a man in a uniform had a hand up toward me. He made a stirring motion which I interpreted as turn around and go back so I did. Figured the little caravan had all been police cars on their way to a fire? accident? It wasn't until tonight when I was checking bird houses that I saw my brother Russell who filled me in on the fugitive murderer being hunted in the hills. Russell said the police had the road blocked for a short time by his place. Of course that started me wondering if I was the fugitive what would I do. I'd stay away from the summer/hunting cabins sprinkled through the area - police know them and will be checking them first. Police could bring in infrared cameras. However the hills are an undulating granite landscape covered w/ a high canopy of leaves and thick underbrush that would help disperse a heat signature not to mention all of the false positives caused by bear and deer. Dogs would be the biggest problem but even they could be fooled. I think I'd find a rocky overhang, move around only at sunrise and sunset, and eat off the land for awhile. Interesting mind game.
