French police on January 22, 2003 recaptured an American male nurse who escaped from a Monaco prison where he was serving a 10-year sentence for starting the fire that killed billionaire banker Edmond Safra. Ted Maher, shown in this November 28 2002 file photo, escaped overnight from the Monaco jail with another prisoner by sawing through the bars of their cell. Police sources said Maher had holed himself up in a hotel in Nice but was traced after making a string of telephone calls to people to explain himself concerning the death of Safra.

Well, if I know Teddy, he's probably saying that the other guy was breaking out and he was going to be a hero and inform the prison guards what was happening but unfortunately in the commotion he somehow landed in a hotel in Nice.

Oh, and folks, I'm sure Safra's wife was involved in this!

P.S. Did he call any FReepers?

Sounds like the actions of an innocent and desperate man to me.

Yes, he did call a FReeper, but I'll get banned if I name him. His second call was to Jamal Mumia.

I'll bet somebody's already bought the rights too.

That's a rhetorical question. It's just a jaw-droppingly bizarre story, start to finish.

That was my very first thought. And of course, the corollary question is: were any FReepers responsible for giving him the means of sawing through the bars in the first place?
