Original –

The 10th group of fugitive- Mark and Lee are now starting escaping, they know that they have 1 hour more than the hunters. The running starts now.

Mark and Lee decide to leave a fake clue in their apartment to confuse the hunters, they first find a note book, than write a plan on it, a totally different plan from the true one. And overexert write on it, in order to leave a vague trace on the next page, then they rip the page they write, throw it somewhere else. After that they format every electronic devices and give them to their neighbors. They leave a message to the hunters:
See you soon, but not too soon, perhaps 28 days is soon enough.
Mark and Lee
Then, they leave their apartment, ask one of their friends to take them to the country of Atlanta.

Two hours later, when the hunters are searching for useful clues in their apartment, they totally being massed up by the message. And of course, they found the trace on Mark and Lee’s notebook. The hunters are really happy to found those things. But what they don’t know is that they totally falls into the trap of Mark and Lee.

On day 2, on the “plan” hunters got, they are going to move from Charleston to Columbus by one of Mark’s classmates in the college, Jacky. Therefore, they send two teams of hunters there in order to catch them. However, it’s true that Mark’s classmates there are helping them, but not exactly the same way hunters know. At 9:00 p.m. on that day, Jacky’s wife drive a white vehicle on I-20, with two of her best friends. And when the hunters see them, they think that is Jacky transferring Lee and Mark to their next safe house. After they followed Mark’s wife for about 20 minutes, they ask Mark’s wife to stop and check. When they find out this white vehicle is a bait, they hurriedly drive back, and they see Jacky driving the car and there’s two passengers. So, they think that Mark and Lee have been sent to their next safe house on that car. And this makes them decides to use that notebook to trace Mark and Lee.

On the following days, Mark and Lee keep using this track to elude the hunters and play tracks on them, to make the hunters think they are keep moving from one state to another, while they keep staying in North Carolina with the 500 dollars they exchanged with their friends by their credit card that has 500 dollars in it. And that’s also a camouflage, to let their friends use their card in Georgia, to mislead the hunters.

On this 28 days escaping progress, they use so many camouflages and baits. And they also show off on the Facebook about it. Not like other fugitives, they let their friends and families to get information from the hunters, but not let hunters get information from them.

Finally, they win the game and get 250 thousand dollars. When the programming group ask the head of the hunters, Christina King to judge this group of fugitives, she said that they are really smart because they not only use the usual ways fugitives would use, such as disguise, keep hiding in the place of nowhere, they are trying to make the hunters keep receiving all kinds of details, right ones, wrong ones. They really made her get a headache for a couple of days.

Based on a true story

The 10th group of fugitives – Mark and Lee have started escaping, they know that they have a one hour head start over the hunters. The running starts now.

Mark and Lee decide to leave a fake clue in their apartment to confuse the hunters. First they find a notebook, then write a plan in it, that is totally different from the true one. They overexert when writing it, in order to leave a vague trace on the next page. Then they rip out the page they wrote on and throw it somewhere else. After that they formatted every electronic device and gave them to their neighbors. Then they leave a message for the hunters:
See you soon, but not too soon, perhaps 28 days is soon enough.
Mark and Lee    🙂

They left their apartment and asked one of their friends to take them to the Atlanta countryside.

Two hours later, when the hunters are searching for useful clues in the fugitives’ apartment, they were totally messed up by the message. And of course, they found the traces on Mark and Lee’s notebook. The hunters are really happy to find those things. But what they don’t know is that they totally fell into the trap.

On day 2 the hunters believed that the fugitives were travelling from Charleston to Columbus with the help of Mark’s old classmate from college, named Jacky.
