Investigators Closing in on Teenage Folk Hero
By Rocky Thompson on March 19th, 2010
In 2008 a cracked-out barefoot kid was sent to prison by a Canadian court for a crime he clearly committed. He promptly escaped from a minimum security stockade to the Vancouver underground. Today, still wanted by the government, he survives as a petty burglar.
If you have a problem - if no one else can help - and if you can find him - maybe you can Facebook-friend: Colton Harris-Moore.
The kid’s been hiding out on San Juan Island for years. He’s suspected in a string of 20-30 burglaries, including the thefts of 3 planes which were crash landed. In the ultra-structured system of middle and high school, you almost have to respect the kid a bit. At least until he breaks into your house, steals your car, or accidentally kills someone. Investigators now think they have a lead on his whereabouts, but I’m guess it’ll be like that A-Team episode where the helicopter crashes into the cliff and then a bunch of guys crawl out of it. What I’m trying to say, it’s not going to work out.
Rocky- Did you read the story? Where did the “Canadian Prison” fact come from? This all happened in WA state. Ha!
Didn’t Rush write a song about this kid?
Keep up the good work, Canadia.
every place mentioned in the linked article about this kid is in Washington state… the ‘prison in Canada’ that he escaped from is actually a group home in the Seattle suburbs, most all of the crimes were in the San Juan Islands, and one of the planes was abandoned near Yakima. The closest place to canada mentioned is Point Roberts, but that is still technically Washington
Jeez, read some of the comments and discussions on his Facebook fan page. Some people are really out of touch with reality.
