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....

Yeah, when it’s all said and done, for fugitives to “live off the land” these days, they would have to do a LOT of dumpster diving.

“ Doesn’t look that rugged.”

It’s extremely rugged.

We’re building a cabin not too awful far from there. Lots of woods and mountains. Many areas are very difficult to access and there aren’t a lot of roads. Caves, cliffs, abandoned mines, etc. if he’s prepared and knows the area he could hide out for quite a long time.
