The first thing the warden said is, this incident would not effect the dog program, so I expect he mean't what he said. There were others involved in the dog program that will carry it forward.NanaMcZoo said:My oldest daughter is a professional animal trainer..she has been taking a lot of good and not so good natured ribbing because of this idiot. What really angers me,other than what she did to her own family,is what she may have done to all the critters out there looking for good homes.

It just goes to show that we never know who is driving someone else's bus. This woman apparently had a deep character defect/personality need, whether caused by her childhood, or even her marriage, that this guy tuned into, and connected with. In cases like this, wouldn't it be interesting if they could figure out, what it was in this particular woman's background that allowed her life to be consumed by this nefarious plot, with a man so much younger than her, and a convicted murderer to boot.Bobbisangel said:It seems like it would have to be doesn't it? What other reason would there be for a woman to make the decision to give everything up including the children she had given birth to? I doubt that the prisoner cared a hoot about her. He probably sweet talked her into believing that he cared knowing she was fool enough to help him get out of there. I wonder if she believes it was all worth while now? And most of all....did they really think they could escape and just blend into society?

luvbeaches said:SNIP
Last night, our local DA was on TV and he said that in Kansas, she'll get a max of two years in prison. He said that's the state law. That did surprise me. He said if the feds file charges, she could be looking at more time.
SNIP.
Thanks for that insightful post! I remember Steve Huff wrote about this, did you comment on his story? The "rescuer" title fits IMHO.luvbeaches said:The first thing I thought when I heard this was that she's a "rescuer." If I remember right, they never did determine who pulled the trigger that killled the man (I don't think so, anyway). Maybe he convinced her that he was wrongly convicted, and maybe she felt she was rescuing him. I don't know. None of it makes sense.
It just is so hard for me to reconcile the fact that this woman would do such a thing. It will be interesting to hear what the circumstances were...and what her thinking was at the time. Because this doesn't make sense...not at all.

Manard, 27, was serving a life sentence for first-degree murder, aggravated robbery and possession of firearms in the 1996 killing of a man during a carjacking. He now will face additional charges of aggravated escape from custody. {Additional charges??--he's already serving life, what are they going to add??)
Young is married to a firefighter and has children, but authorities believe her family was not aware of her plans. Her husband, Pat Young, did not want to comment on the capture in a statement Saturday. "I want to assure you that no matter what may come of this, it will remain a private and personal matter," he said.
luvbeaches said:I saw on the news last night, that they found "items" that indicated their relationship was sexual in nature. The owners of the cabin (where they were staying), said they saw them walking hand-in-hand on several occasions. This is really weird. I have to say, I was surprised when they announced this information. I've always thought she rescued him, but it appears she may have been motovated by other things...or maybe a little of both.
As of yet, her husband has not appeared on any local channels (not that I've seen). It's always her family.
