Tracy Province and John McCluskey escaped from prison in Arizona (can AZ do anything right lately?) where they were doing time for murder and attempted murder respectively. After their escape, they murdered an unfortunate couple who were camping in New Mexico and then made their way to….Yellowstone. Just great. As if killer grizzly bears weren’t enough.
Apparently the authorities have caught one of the escapees, Province, in a small town after he spent his Sunday morning at a church service there.
As for McCluskey…where to start. At the moment he is still on the run with his cousin/lover (yes, really). He is, by all indications, supremely stupid and indiscriminately violent. Either of these is certainly distasteful on its own, but in combination? Now, that’s just not fair to subject the rest of us to. We are only adequately trained to deal with the former and only insofar as it fails to amalgamate with the latter.
McCluskey is a man who was serving (only) a 15 year sentence when he decided that it would be a good idea to escape prison and go on an armed robbery and murdering spree. This is obviously a man with a tenuous grasp of risk-benefit analysis. Once he gets caught and “cost” makes its way in to the picture, his head may very well explode.
In any case, Dorothy and I decided it would be wise to stay out of their way until they left Yellowstone which, fortunately, they now have. We are very much looking forward to spending some time there, and feel good about only having to contend with the bears.
