"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."

Doesn’t look that rugged. Choppers had FLIR. I don’t think he’s there.

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.

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!

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.
