Maybe he thought he was going to a funeral.

Why did they go to a location that was so heavily populated with families?
Because, you know, if it had been a location full of single people it would have been okay...

They caught him finally.

I don't have a problem with *nonviolent* offenders being taken to the fair, but he had already tried to escape once before and was left to wander around with only basic supervision?

As if the headline didn't already sound like the plot of a cheesy horror movie:

"The manhunt continues," said Spokane County sheriff's spokesman Dave Reagan. "We truly suspect he is headed for Sunnyside. His parents live there."
