That Chap Evading the Authorities in Northumberland

[Retired Member southey]

They also have the added issue of not knowing his objective, in military term people on the run will genrally have a an identifiyable goal weather it be a border, installation, main road, embassy or even just clearings if it were for extraction, but this guy is out to hurt /kill anyone(he says, all though probably just to cause confusion) how do you try to predict/pattern the movements to try and give yourself a start point when the objective could be anyone.

So why dont we play an E and E game at the Moot?

Tell me - what is the place that "jumped up country boys" are supposed to know?

I'd really like to understand where that particular comment is coming from.

It's a line from a Smith's song.

 

[rancid badger]

the thought crossed my mind too, military trained maybe?

He's neither.

you should play the red light game, simple to do and a good giggle, big area, one red tourch at one end thats visible fom the other end three hunters at the light, everyone else has to make it to the light, only hunters allowed to stand up, first one to light wins, all played in the dark without torches, great fun, just have a cut off tim else someone will kitten crawl all night.

Well aparently he was a tree surgeon so he probably has some experience in the outdoors. He also appears to be heading north back to his hometown however I would think this may be to supply himself in an area he knows and he has contacts, and by now if he's smart he would be at the other end of the UK.

His "home town" is Newcastle

Rothbury is a good bit north of "home".

Is it only me that thinks he'll be moving by waterways?

You've got to wonder how long the police will be able or willing to dedicate the current level of resources to the hunt absent any intervening incidents to keep things at the boil and the news folks interested. The cops are likely I'd have thought to have a pretty short time window for that level of resource deployment.

Hunker down in a hole in the ground with modest amount of supplies and wait them out. If he lies low I would imagine they will be cutting the current deployment back in at most a week to ten days. Especially since the inevitable false sightings etc are going to start drawing them off.

That's assuming he's anywhere even remotely near the area.

It's a line from a Smith's song.

No, it isn't

If you are referring to "This Charming Man"...the line is "pantry boy" not "country boy"

So back to the original question... (unless an ability to listen to the lyrics was actually required of the original poster )

If he is let's hope he's in Davey569s canoe.

It'll not be too long before the Police start to look at all people who use and enjoy the outdoors as suspicious and deviant.

It's costing £500,000 a day (reportedly) for this manhunt, helicopters don't come cheap, nor does that amount of vehicular activity, and of course man hours, overtime hours, danger money etc etc.

How long can we afford this? ask the tax man.

I don't know quite how to post this and may recieve a bit of backlash ( fair enough ) but I find this thread a little distasteful , If Derrick Bird had gone to ground before popping himself would we be having a thread on that and the supposed M.O and his imagined abilities , interest and exactly what was going to happen and when?...

I dont get also making light of the whole situation , when is the body count level low enough that you can make comments about that border humour.


Maybe me , and no I don't have to read this thread , just thought it needed saying.

 

[treefrog]

danger money etc etc.

Danger money? Who gets that?

 

[bernie66]

My only thoughts were that even walking at an average of 5 miles an hour for 15 hours a day he could be pretty much anywhere in England by now

Lol, I refer you to my previous post

BTW from what I saw from the goings on behind the reporters on our local news, the road block cops were checking and searching vehicles going into Rothbury but not out?!? It could be that his kid/s are in foster care and in Rothbury? just a thought.
