Where I live you can boat across to Canada, pull up on shore and walk anywhere you like. Further east there are vast areas where you can just walk across a cornfield and be in Canada. Outside of major roads and other crossings it is largely unguarded on either side.I would tend to agree with you on this.
Trying to get into Canada is not an easy task these days.
1. Need a valid Passport.
2. Provide proof of COVID Vaccination
3. Within 72 hours of intended Border Crossing you must fill out ArriveCAN information either through a phone app or go online. The app requires that you advise the Border Service where you plan to cross, what day, and time. You are not getting across without all of this.
If they were planning on leaving the Country, Mexico is the easiest by far.
I get how substances can trigger anomalies and someone could present in a different way sober. My background is in psychology…and while I haven’t treated him…I think his long term history demonstrates erratic and volatile behavior and unhealthy, impulsive thinking patterns.Coming from a job in this field, he is insanely dangerous. However his history is over a period of years. And he is no doubt volatile in the moment but thats why I brought up drug or alcohol abuse during his acts of violence. Not as an excuse, but as a catalyst.
We have subjects here that are fine and respectful and liked when they are sober and then become insane when intoxicated. We have others that are not regular users that are extremely volatile all the time.
He could absolutely be in control when he needs to be. He has been grooming and convincing this woman for two years.
He had to not pressure her too much. He could express anxiousness but not with anger to keep her motivated. He had to be careful in his words and temperament.
Thats a degree of awareness and control that is dangerous, but not volatile.
You'd think, though, that his history and basically--who he was, would be a turnoff. Whatever happened to women going for doctors and lawyers, lol? But we know from her failed marriage, that she didn't have a good "picker"; maybe didn't notice or act on red flags, since she married a guy who turned out to be a druggie.People lead secret lives all the time. It isn't uncommon at all for a woman in her 50's who is a little sexually frustrated to get the hots for a guy 15/20 years younger than her.
VW could have stocked piled her late ex-husbands meds.Who knows? Did someone inventory the meds in the jailhouse clinic/nursing office or wherever they keep prisoners' medications? Who knows what is missing from that jail besides the two of them. jmo
Yes- we all know from that pandemic how hard it is to sit in your house for weeks on end... Throw in a volatile personality....Say they're laying low at a pre-arranged, well-stocked, remote place within a few hours drive of the jail, which seems likely. The next question that keeps popping up in my mind is how long can Casey actually just quietly lay low? He seems to me way more volatile than strategic.
What would make you think he would be on the same meds as her ex-husband?VW could have stocked piled her late ex-husbands meds.
IMO I think women with the keys to his cell and access to a police vehicle with weapons are his thing.And this. 58 years old. He is 18 years younger, almost 40. She's old enough to be his mother. Doesn't he know that? Are women 20 years older his thing?

I don't think a language barrier would be that major for Mexico to be an option. They make pocket translators that you can just speak English into and the device translates and "speaks" for you, and they work vice versa as well. Phone apps can do the same thing and she may have been trying to learn Spanish for these 2 years they've been planning.Just my opinion on some things:
1) I doubt they would head to Canada. Besides their accents they would be clueless as to how to deal with that kinda cold when winter arrived.
2) Mexico presents a language problem along with very possibly some rough barebones living for a least awhile.
3) More likely they are still here in the US. VW had a lot of time to find a secluded area like Eric Rudolph and set it up. She has access to a ton of cash and we don’t know how much she has with her. It’s not hard finding people that don’t ask questions for cash in hand.
4) Right now, VW is an asset as others have said. She can go into stores without attracting too much attention etc. Eventually though, especially if CW decides he wants to change their location, she is a liability and causes them to attract attention as a 6’9” guy and short female…”like that couple that escaped”… as opposed to just him, just some tall dude.
Hahahaha. Nailed it.IMO I think women with the keys to his cell and a police vehicle with weapons in it are his thing.
I mean, she was visiting and helping care for him until he died in January of 2022…but I highly doubt his medications would be a fit for CW. TW (her ex) died from complications with Parkinson’s.She's been divorced since 1991.
That’s a very good point. I wonder too how long he could hunker down and wait it out. Doesn’t seem to be the patient and in control kinda guy.Say they're laying low at a pre-arranged, well-stocked, remote place within a few hours drive of the jail, which seems likely. The next question that keeps popping up in my mind is how long can Casey actually just quietly lay low? He seems to me way more volatile than strategic.
Agreed. Many Americans take beginner Spanish in school. And many Mexicans speak some English too.I don't think a language barrier would be that major for Mexico to be an option. They make pocket translators that you can just speak English into and the device translates and "speaks" for you, and they work vice versa as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if she had supplied him with his own burner phone while he was at Lauderdale.
He could be or he may not care, pain meds or other opiates may help fill the gap. MOOWhat would make you think he would be on the same meds as her ex-husband?
I think she's the one who will break first. She is accustomed having a life, interacting with the world. Long-term co-workers and friends, her mother, brothers, her nephew, her mother-in-law, her ex husband, her dog, the people at the post office, neighbors. The sudden loss of all those connections to people and to the world in general is going to be much more of a shock and adjustment for her. He's used to this kind of separation from the world, she is most definitely not. It'll be interesting to see how she copes with the sudden total isolation and a complete lack of social support. Especially when it truly hits home that this is what the rest of her life is going to look like and that she can't make new friends or build a new life to replace the old one. It's going to take her a minute to realize the sheer depth of the creek she now lives in. jmoThis might be a welcome kind of laying low to him though. Beats being locked up 24/7. "Freedom" may be worth it to him to hang in an RV or a cabin somewhere...at least until his alleged impulsiveness kicks in (or he runs out of alleged meds). Who knows? On paper, he knew what he was signing up for. Real life though? Who really knows? She may be constantly talking sense to him. JMO
I was a jailer at a city police department in my early 20's. This was in CA so there was a higher Spanish speaking population there as compared to AL (I would assume). I took Spanish in high school and could get by in Mexico if I wanted a beer or needed to find the bathroom. BUT! I could speak fluent enough to book someone who spoke Spanish. Just comes down to commonly used phrases for questioning/answering.Agreed. Many Americans take beginner Spanish in school. And many Mexicans speak some English too.
Isn't the whole point of leading a double life is that one doesn't know about the other...? People do it all the time.Agreed. Her friends, family, former in-laws, coworkers etc. all seem to agree on who she was. Yet she broke from that in a severe way and no one saw it coming. Madness.
This has occurred to me as well. If he becomes volatile or threatening or just goes off book and increases her own risk of being discovered, a huge pile of regret might set in. If her disappointment prompted a verbal argument, it could escalate toward one of them trying to end the other’s life. While I’d lean toward him offing her, it’s possible she could pull the trigger on him as well.I think she's the one who will break first. She is accustomed having a life, interacting with the world.

For sure. Do you think she was leading a double life the whole time?Isn't the whole point of leading a double life is that one doesn't know about the other...? People do it all the time.
