Local Manhunt Update
Authorities are scaling back their manhunt for the two fugitives in the Alread, Arkansas area.
After a four-day search, law-enforcement officials decided Thursday to scale back a manhunt for two armed fugitives because they don’t know whether the men are hiding in the mountains around Alread or somehow escaped after a Monday morning shoot-out with police.
Local residents are understandably not too happy. But authorities admit they don't have a freaking clue where the two may be hiding.
Officers, who initially believed that the two men retreated into one of the shanties on the 30-plus acres where they lived, later learned they had escaped into the thick woods and rugged terrain. The property, which the men do not own according to county records, is dotted with bunkers packed with weapons, food and military gear, police said. [Emphasis mine]
Be interesting to see who does own the property they've apparently be squatting on for several years....and why they were allowed to stay.
At any rate, looks like it's not going to be safe to be out & about in that area for a while. Not that it was ever very safe.

If Alread, AR is like most of rural America the locals should be happy and capable to do what the police were unable to. i.e. kill the bastards.
