Dogged

The fascinating saga of the murderer and dog trainer who helped him escape from prison in a dog kennel is over, with the pair headed back to Kansas.

This is one of the most bizarre and fascinating news items I have seen in a while, with overtones of strange sexual practices and psychological angles that make the story way more interesting then your average prison escape. What posesses an established, 50-year-old wife and mother to help a murderer half her age break out of prison and then run away with him? Was she coerced or brainwashed, or did she have some kind of mental breakdown? Maybe she just got tired of her "boring" life and just snapped, indulging in an escape from her previous life the same way her beau escaped from a physical prison. The evidence supports this theory, as the couple went on a wild shopping spree after the prison getaway, buying all kinds of cool electronic gadgets, music intruments, sex toys and even a parakeet.

I'm sure we will find out more in the days and weeks to come. And this will, undoubtedly, be the plot for a Law and Order episode at some point as well.
