LONDON, Ky. — Dozens of law enforcement officers are combing through the rugged terrain of southeastern Kentucky for a third day Monday as they search for the man suspected of shooting of nine vehicles and wounding five people on a busy interstate.
When asked by reporters what makes this terrain so rough, Acciardo said the area off of I-75 where the shooting occurred is one of the most remote locations in The Commonwealth.
"That exit along I-75 is probably the most remote throughout Kentucky," he said. "It's wooded, it's heavily wooded. It's got hills, it's got rocks. There's one business there, there's very few residences. It's remote and it's difficult."
When asked if he believes Couch, who has a military background and served in the Army Reserves, could last in the woods by himself without food or water for multiple nights, Acciardo said it depends....

Dr. McCoy is preparing to say something to Jim.
Doesn’t look that rugged. Choppers had FLIR. I don’t think he’s there.
He’s hiding in an old mine with an M60 machine gun.
Start looking for vultures.
Lt. Clinton Morgen will take care of it. Of course he’s got to be back at the pharmacy on Monday.
This is the first I read about an I-75 shooting.
The excerpt names an individual, Couch.
This has been a fairly big story in the “mid-South”.
Me thinks the LEO’s don’t have enough long time hill country types in their ranks, esp. those who know the area well. Where’s Jed Clampett when ya’ need him?
I bet Raylen Givens has a couple of ideas about where a man like that might hole up.
He’s gone Cu Chi Charlie.
If they don’t find him soon either he had help or is taking “the room temperature challenge”.

How long was the Olympic Park bomber on the run up in the Smokies?
Eric Rudolph
Wiki says ~7 YEARS!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Olympic_Park_bombing
Eric Robert Rudolph was a fugitive in Appalachia for 7 years after bombing the Olympics in Atlanta. He raided gardens, grain silos, ate salamanders and and lived out of dumsters to survive.
That’s why he’s only giving him 3.0 seconds to come out!
Rambo ran out of ammo!!
If he had a motorcycle or E bike stashed. He could be hundreds of miles away.
Get out of the first 10 miles of search area. Hit the road and your away.
“He’s hiding in an old mine with an M60 machine gun.”
Maybe just a Crocodile Dundee class knife?
Amazing...the amount of resources tied up and dollars spent to find one criminal “suspect” and the likewise amount when they find him.
Rudolph had a lot of help from the locals.
