    Escaped Prisoner Updates Facebook Regularly

    story.escape.prisonWhat is it like to tell the world about your life as a fugitive? Craig Lynch, 28, escaped Hollesley Bay prison back in September to find out.

    Ever since breaking out of prison, he has been updating his Facebook status regularly; hinting his whereabouts and telling friends what he is up to.

    “mmm i just had a 12lb venison steak. Roasted veg and chips, bangin meal. I feel stuffed but still got room for the j.d’s . Hope you enjoyed the meal babe’s. We’ll have to eat here again,” Lynch wrote on his wall.

    This reminds me of the movie, “Catch me if you can,” just that we are talking about a savvier burglar here.

    Police are trying to use clues left by Lynch on his Facebook to hunt him down. However, how much the statuses reflect his true whereabouts is questionable.

    For those who have been loyal fans of this daring fugitive, they might be disappointed that they can no longer follow his wild adventure:

    “well what can i say fellow friends. The run is nearly over. Sorry some of you had to find out like this. I know some of you might take offence that i never told you personally. But you know me. I Trust No One. Its the only way to be.”

    I guess he has had enough of the Facebook fame and just wants to go back to the quiet life.
