Jailbreak Fugitive Updates Facebook Page

London, England (CNN) -- British police have appealed for information about the whereabouts of an escaped prisoner who has been telling the world via Facebook about his life as a fugitive.

Craig Lynch, 28, escaped Hollesley Bay open prison near Suffolk, eastern England, back in September, but has continued to update his Facebook status regularly -- describing everything from his meals to who his next girlfriend will be.

"mmm i just had a 12lb venison steak. Roasted veg and chips, bangin meal. I feel stuffed but still got room for the j.d's . Hope you enjoyed the meal babe's. We'll have to eat here again" Lynch wrote on his wall.

In another posting from earlier this week Lynch wrote "Is thinkin, which lucky girl will be my first of 2010!!."

Police are trying to use clues left by Lynch on his Facebook to track down where the convicted burglar may be hiding.

Lynch was sentenced to a seven-year prison term for aggravated burglary and was serving his sentence in an open prison before his escape, according to a police spokeswoman.

"We have spoken to Facebook and we are trying to trace him from the information we have, but it's one of those things that we're also asking for help from members of the public," Suffolk police spokesperson Anne-Marie Breach told CNN.

"Obviously we're taking what he's saying on Facebook with a pinch of salt because he's now aware that people may be reading what he's writing."

News that Lynch's Facebook was being updated broke yesterday and since then, he has written several times of his life on-the-run.

"The hotel staff haven't even clocked which was the only thing I've been paranoid about all day!" he wrote.

Lynch's most recent posting read "well what can i say fellow friends. The run is nearly over. Sorry some of you had to find out like this. I know some of you might take offence that i never told you personally. But you know me. I Trust No One. Its the only way to be."

Man Convicted In Mother-In-Law's Killing

LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. -- A Lancaster County man has been convicted of killing his mother-in-law.

Shannon Hess killed Barbara Fritchman in his Pequea Township home in November 2007, a day after Thanksgiving. It was the first murder ever in the small town.

Hess thought his wife was having an affair and killed his mother-in-law for being on the phone with the other man, police said.

Hess could be sentenced to life in prison.

Court papers indicated that Hess stabbed Fritchman multiple times and struck her, possibly with a crowbar.

"We would say at this time that it was a blunt object. If you read the affidavit, you also see that the victim was stabbed repeatedly in the neck and that the cause of death was from the stabbing, and it punctured the carotid artery," said Southern Regional Police Department Chief John Fiorill at a 2007 news conference.

Police said they found Fritchman dead, face down in a pool of blood in a hallway at a house on Boehms Road around 1:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 23. Hess was the person who called 911, police said. Investigators said he washed blood from his hands and shoes before officers arrived. They also said Hess lied to investigators and repeatedly changed his story.

Fritchman lived with Hess, her daughter and her grandchildren.

Court papers indicated that Hess believed his wife was having an affair. The documents state that he was spying on her, but was concerned his mother-in-law would tell his wife.

Just before Fritchman's death, court documents stated that Hess said he heard Fritchman on the phone with the man he believed his wife was seeing.

In one of the police interviews, police said they asked Hess if he would like to apologize to Fritchman. He replied, "I would like to."

"Dumb as a Blog" Is Great!

Five-Alarm Morons- Three men who attempted a home invasion in search of medication were foiled by a 58-year-old woman brandishing a bowl of homemade chili and a broom, according to police in Claiborne County, TN.

The invaders fled but were eventually apprehended in connection with the crime, says cops. One of the men, by the looks of things, seems to have suffered a hot sauce-related injury to his eye. They are (l to r) Fabian Moore, 32, Tommy Wayne Garrett, 24, and Samuel Partin, 30.

Police working on this con carne case say that two of them were associated with a convenience store robbery.

Maybe the victim has a future teaching a self-defense cooking class: Tai Cheese? Te Kwon Donut? Jiu Jit-soup?

Police Shock Toy Cougar With Taser

Haha, what dumbasses! And why would they taser something that wasn't moving or growling at them, anyway?? Oh, and apparently there's video. LOL

WARREN, Mich. -- Warren police responded to a 911 call about a cougar on the prowl.

"It's huge; it's like a 150-pound cat," the caller told the operator.

Approximately 10 officers arrived at Bates Park on 14 Mile Road east of Van Dyke and saw what looked like a big cat in an old cement drainpipe.

"And I went back behind there and shined a light there -- and it's in there," said the caller.

Warren police shot a Taser at the animal -- hitting what turned out to be a large toy cougar.

Police Commissioner William Dwyer said officials now believe the incident was a prank, but he said his department could not take any chances since it was near a playground.

"We did what we had to do. We want to keep the city safe," said Dwyer.

Dwyer said the prank cost the city more than 1,000 police hours between the response from 10 officers and the paperwork they had to file.

If the prankster is caught, he or she could have to pay the city back for the wasted police officers and could face 90 days probation.

More Lingerie Pics Could Cost Prejean Pageant Crown

She would worry less about what she looks like in her lingerie/swimsuits and more about what's coming out of her mouth.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Miss California USA Carrie Prejean has assured pageant officials that a lingerie modeling photo published online this week is the only one she posed for, the state pageant director said.

But the Web site that published the first picture said it has several more that it will "slowly roll out" starting Wednesday afternoon.

The possibility that racier images could emerge prompted "closed-door meetings" Tuesday to consider stripping Prejean of her beauty queen title, pageant spokesman Ron Neal said.

Although Neal said Prejean "breached her contract" by keeping the semi-nude photo or photos a secret, the only picture published so far appears about as revealing as the bikini Prejean wore in the pageant's swimsuit competition.

"We have been told by Carrie Prejean there are no other photos other than the one circulating in existence. She should know better than anyone," Miss California USA Director Keith Lewis said Wednesday.

The 21-year-old Miss USA contestant has been the center of controversy since she declared her opposition to same-sex marriage in a response to a question on the national pageant stage last month. She finished as runner-up to Miss USA.

In a statement given to CNN Tuesday, Prejean said the photos -- and she did use the plural -- were being used in a "vicious and mean-spirited" effort to silence her for "defending traditional marriage."

While she vowed to "continue to support and defend marriage as the honorable institution it is," Prejean may be doing so without the Miss California USA title.

State pageant officials met Tuesday with lawyers and representatives of Donald Trump, who owns the international competition, to consider if they had grounds to take the crown away from Prejean, according to Neal.

"When you compete for Miss California, you're supposed to disclose whether you posed for nude or semi-nude photos because it's grounds for disqualification," he said.

CNN obtained a copy of the pageant contract Prejean signed last year in which she agreed that the discovery of semi-nude photos could mean disqualification.

The only photo made public shows Prejean -- who said she was 17 at the time -- wearing pink panties and no top. She is turned away from the camera, with her arm hiding most of her breast.

It was unclear if pageant officials would consider this a semi-nude photo, in light of their standard requirement that contestants parade across stage wearing a bikini that arguably shows more bare skin.

But the other shoe -- or other garment -- may be yet to drop.

Nik Richie -- of TheDirty.com -- said he has waited for an upgrade of his Web site's servers to handle the flood of traffic he expects will come after he posts the additional photos.

"I will slowly roll these out," Richie said.

The next image will likely be published Wednesday afternoon, he said.

"We'll see what happens with those and we want to know who's releasing them," Neal said.

Shanna Moakler, the co-executive director of the Miss California USA organization, will meet with Tami Farrell, the runner-up for the title, "to discuss the possible next steps," Neal said.

Prejean defended the photos, which she said were taken when she was a teenager aspiring to be a Victoria's Secret model.

"I am a Christian, and I am a model," she said. "Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos."

She said the photos "have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith."

"I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be," she said. "But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others' opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks."

Her publicist, Melany Ethridge, confirmed a comment she gave to celebrity Web site TMZ in which she said Prejean was just 17 when she posed for the photos, hoping they would land her a modeling job.

"In her naivete, an agent convinced her to pose for this photo to submit to a lingerie company, claiming they could make her the next Victoria's Secret model," Ethridge told TMZ. "She has since learned what a lie that was, and what a mistake it was to have the photo taken."

Prejean announced last week that she would star in a new $1.5 million ad campaign supporting what she termed "opposite marriage" (marriage between a man and a woman) funded by the National Organization for Marriage.

"Marriage is good," Prejean said at a news conference announcing the ad campaign. "There is something special about unions of husband and wife. Unless we bring men and women together, children will not have mothers and fathers."

Pop Tart Stabbing

Catheline Marie Colon, pictured, stabbed her boyfriend with a steak knife after an argument over a box of Pop Tarts, according to police in Lakeland, FL.

Colon, 18, had moved out of their home together, but returned to collect her things. When she indicated she wanted one final tasty toaster pastry for the road, her 19-year-old boyfriend said she couldn't have one and that is when she allegedly went all stabby on him.

Cops say she was cleaning up blood when they arrived and she was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, domestic violence and tampering with evidence.
