In the attic

In scenes reminiscent of actress Pia Zadora's portrayal of Anne Frank where the cry went up "she's in the attic" when the Germans came knocking, a Kentucky man has been found hiding in his own attic after having disappeared 6 weeks ago. Is that too long, a sentence? As chance would have it, this appears to be what Christopher Benham was trying to avoid ... a sentence. Charges have been pending since before his disappearance: theft, terrorist threatening and assault. Benham's vehicle was found May 31 in a rural area of Adair County, Kentucky. Evidence suggested he was missing under suspicious circumstances, police said in a statement. But the only foul play was theirs ... Christopher and his wife Janie were found living in their attic - and were only found after a tip-off.

I just saw this on "I Faked My Own Death" TV show. Only dumbass drug dealers would try something like that. So he's been out of jail two years now I wonder if he is thinking about trying it again. To think those two country dumbasses could out smart the police. I guess Small Town Kentucky police know what they are doing or maybe a pissed off mother in law.
