Arizona Escapee - Fight to the Death?

Theresa L.
A week ago, I wrote an article titled Arizona Jail Break - What is Left When You Have Nothing to Lose? The article was about the three men that broke out of the Arizona Prison and was originally in reference to one of the men having nothing left to lose by escaping prison. However, since the time I wrote that article, two of the men have been captured.

The final man, John McCluskey is still on the run. McCluskey, who is traveling with his cousin and finance Casslyn Welch was serving a life sentence. Police now believe that McCluskey will go as far as committing suicide to keep from being caught.

McCluskey has nothing to lose by being on the run. He is a man with everything to gain, and a desperate man backed into a corner is as dangerous as a wild animal. The last thing McCluskey wants is to return to prison, and that makes him very dangerous.

Police are also concerned for the safety of the public. McCluskey is currently believed to be hiding out in Yellow Stone, and with any dangerous predator, it is best to stay within a cluster of people. McCluskey is already believed to be responsible for the death of an Oklahoma couple, which is a prime example of how far McCluskey is willing to go to avoid the law.

U.S. Marshals and local authorities are still on the hunt for McCluskey, who escaped on July 30th, and U.S. Marshal chief deputy Fidencio Rivera told Good Morning America "We believe they are armed and extremely dangerous."

On a final note, if you see the pair, who are now being dubbed the Bonnie and Clyde couple, do not intervene. You should call your local authorities and get out of the area.

    Very frightening. Hopefully the filly 'shoot out' will be quick and easy.

    The couple they killed was from my home state. I'm pissed to say the least. Besides who plans to marry their cousin? ICK!

    So his cousin is his fiance? That explains so much. I hope they catch this pair soon.

    People who feel they have "nothing to lose" are the most dangerous to society. cheers
