It has well-chronicled in many forays from me that the world has gone mad. This tale is quite intriguing. I read the entire rather lengthy article. Once the case was turned over to the U.S. Marshalls, Ms. Garvin had little chance to remain free. "If the case comes to the Marshal Service, it never goes away," said Supervisory Inspector James Ergas.
Here is another bizarre story from the naked city:
On the run for 33 years, Deborah Gavin knew the day would come when the long arm of the law would catch up to her.
She just didn't expect that day to be Wednesday.
The 53-year-old Gavin, who escaped from a Georgia prison while serving time for armed robbery in Gwinnett County in the early 1970s, said as much to U.S. Marshals as they cuffed her outside her home in Frankston, Texas....
Thirty-three years is a long time," Ergas said. "They didn't want to jump a 53-year-old woman and drive her to the ground if it was the wrong person."
At 2 p.m. Wednesday, the marshals surrounded her house and knocked.
Gavin came to the door with a shotgun, heard them out and surrendered peacefully....
The board will take into consideration several factors in determining whether she will serve out the six years remaining in her sentence. Among them, her age, her health and how she's conducted herself over the years.
Post Script: She worked for about a decade at East Texas Medical Center, about 24 miles from Frankston. There, said her husband, doctors nicknamed her "Gestapo."
Post Script II: Perhaps Tommie Lee Jones can reprise his role as U.S. Marshal Gerard, if the story is made into a movie.
Post Script III: "Gestapo" conjures up a few images, eh?
