Ethan Couch - Affluenza Kid on the Run

Update 29 Dec:  Kid caught!

Update, 20 Dec.:  9 days now since the first report and he still is not found.  Every day adds geometric embarrassment for Federal officials that can't, with all the surveillance means at their disposal can't find a kid and mom on the run.  It may be an insignificant thing but if they do not up it to terrorist level attention soon public opinion will increasingly notice.  These things go viral.  It took how many days to catch them?  Soon to be comedy fodder!  Trump is old stuff filler when new stuff is not available.  Yawn.  Comedy as news has to work off today's news.  Or snooze.  No laughs.

It does not take much searching to find the Affluenza Kid, Ethan Couch.....At least on Google.  This is a search on "Affluenza"  Limit it to 24 hours if searched today.  He is very easily found immediately and recently on Google.

They may be rich but they are not smart.  All they have is a lot of money in ignorant hands,  no comment on their brains.

The point is that there is a "Man Hunt"  of a significant level of attention nation wide.  He and his mother can run but they cannot hide?  How long they can remain hidden depends on how smart they are to evade surveillance discovery.  I would think that minimum investigation of credit cards, bank accounts and internet would find them quickly.  If they left the country then that fact should be readily discoverable.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes to catch two probably inept fugitives to be caught.  Can their money compensate for ineptness.  Might they would go to someone exceptionally skilled at covering their tracks at a substantial price.  Are there specialists that do that?

$5,000.00 reward on his head.  That should spur some investigative and tracking interest! The Feds are offering the reward.  This is a high level national interest newsworthy event.  The Feds know that.  With all their resources the public will become increasingly disturbed that they cannot catch this dumb kid and his mother that are probably not as smart as terrorists.  Every day he is free will bring added embarrassment.
