Gotta Love A Copycat... Wait, What?

I don't know if you guys remember this link. I posted it a while back in my entry "The Four Laws Of OMGWTFalarity," because it possessed a GIGANTIC degree of OMGWTF. Actually, almost enough to become legend, considering the gentleman in question, Mr. Vinson Filyaw, escaped arrest, and evaded custody for two days.



The story in brief:



Filyaw kidnapped a 14-year-old girl, one Elizabeth Shoaf. He dragged her back to his home, took her out into the woods, and stuck her into a hand-dug underground bunker loaded with boobytraps, SAW-style.



Didn't count on her being a hoodlum, though; she picked his pocket, and used his own cell phone to text message her mother asking for a rescue.



The cavalry showed, and she was saved. The identity of the phone's owner was revealed (although I can only imagine the raised eyebrows among the police on-scene when they realized how she got hold of it,) and the cops went to Filyaw's trailer to arrest him.



Then things took a left turn into the Twilight Zone. Filyaw had installed an escape hatch in the floor of his trailer's bedroom,  and dived down it, through the underground tunnel he had dug to a shed some distance away, and escaping. He was captured two days later, has been denied bond, and is awaiting trial.



Which brings us to my next point, kids.



If you saw this story on the news and got inspired to plan your escape in a similar manner, as did this gentleman, MAKE SURE YOU CAN FIT THROUGH THE TUNNEL, FATASS.



HAHAHA!!!



In a related side note, note that the local TV affiliate needs to drop only one letter from its callsign to be the perfect station for me: WTVF. Guess which letter they need to lose.
