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. So, they sent two teams of hunters there in order to catch them. It is true that Mark’s classmates there are helping them, but not exactly in the same way the hunters think. At 9:00 p.m. that day, Jacky’s wife drove a white vehicle on I-20 with two of her best friends. 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.

So, they sent two teams of hunters there in order to catch them. It is true that Mark’s classmates there are helping them, but not exactly in the same way the hunters think. At 9:00 p.m. that day, Jacky’s wife drove a white vehicle, which would serve as bait, on I-20 with two of her best friends. When the hunters saw the bait they bought it, and thought it must be Jacky transferring Lee and Mark to their next safe house. After they followed Mark’s wife for about 20 minutes, they pulled her over and checked her ID. When they find out this white vehicle was bait, they drove back in a hurry, and they saw Jacky driving the car with two passengers. So, they thought that Mark and Lee have been sent to their next safe house in that car. And this makes them decide to use that notebook to trace Mark and Lee.

On the following days, Mark and Lee kept using this trick to elude the hunters and play tricks on them. The hunters thought they are still moving from one state to another, while they stayed in North Carolina with the 500 dollars cash they exchanged with their friends for the 500 dollar credit card. And that’s also a decoy, to let their friends use their card in Georgia, to mislead the hunters.

During this 28 day escape, they used a lot of camouflage and bait. And they also showed off on Facebook about it. Not like other fugitives, they let their friends and families mislead hunters, but not leak any information to the hunters.

Finally, they won the game and got 250 thousand dollars. When the programming group asked the head of the hunters, Christina King to judge this group of fugitives, she said that they are really smart because they not only used the typical ways fugitives would use, such as disguises, keep hiding in the middle of nowhere, they are trying to make the hunters keep receiving all kinds of details, right ones and wrong ones. They really gave her a headache for a couple of days.
