Fugitive on the Lam for 56 Years Found!
For the last three days in a row, on my morning
commute to a grand’s school, I've been hearing about this on the radio. In the
1950s he did part of his time for speeding and killing a pedestrian in the Ohio
State Reformatory which closed in 1990 and was used as the set for the movie
The Shawshank Redemption. He escaped from an honor camp near the reformatory
unlike the prisoner in the movie. The now wheelchair bound fugitive has waived
his rights to expedition back to Ohio. If he is returned this time-they passed
the last time in 1975 when he was recaptured in West Virginia, so he was
re-released. He has basically been on the lam for 56 years and of all places he
turned up in Melbourne Fl. It’s enough to make me wonder about other folks,
acquaintances, in my age category that could be on their second or third
career, I mean chance, with a false identity. This guy has even been collecting
social security. In a way a return to jail could be considered another kind of
social security, I guess. Most of the people weighing in on social media say
too much time has passed-just let it go. It will be interesting to see if that
happens. There was a stakeout and fancy plan to get his fingerprints in order
to confirm that William Cox was indeed Frank Freshwater. This will probably
replay as a made for TV drama at some point. There is that and that’s the
latest from my current locale. Other than Cub Scouts, baseball, house painting,
and visits to the beach this trip has been rather undramatic, just the way I
like it!
