Fugitives' cabin fever peek inside their temporary home in the woods
reveals romanceBy DAVID KLEPPERThe Kansas City Star
ALPINE, Tenn. — For their 12 days together, John Manard and Toby Young
lived two lives — one strangely domestic and another as fugitives,
armed and calculating.
Young had jigsaw puzzles, pop fiction novels and a journal to pass the
time. Manard had two new guitars, an amplifier, a mandolin and the
sheet music to the jailbreak movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” The
sex toys left behind they presumably shared, along with one unmade
bed.
The log cabin that was their home since they fled Lansing Correctional
Facility contained their belongings Sunday, just as they were Friday,
when Manard and Young were apprehended by U.S. marshals near
Chattanooga, Tenn., after a high-speed chase.
Authorities said they thought Young and Manard picked the cabin based
on its remoteness — it’s one of several log cabins that make up a
fishing resort on Dale Hollow Lake, several miles of twisting mountain
road from the nearest small town. U.S. Marshal Denny King said Young
read books and visited Web sites offering tips to would-be fugitives
and runaways.
One of the recommendations: Head to areas with rough terrain, seek out
sparsely populated wilderness, then drop off the map.
“Why’d they pick this place?” asked Kelli Suggs, a member of the
family owning the cabins. “I’d go to Mexico. But I guess this is as
good a place to disappear as anywhere.”
If something else brought them to Tennessee, “we haven’t been able to
determine that,” according to King.
The area’s dense forests and gentle mountains make it attractive to
those wishing to lie low.
“He’s not the first. There’s been two or three others,” said Arron
Togia of nearby Jamestown. On Sunday, Togia did his wash at a
coin-operated laundry visited by Manard. “If you want to be hid, you
can be real hid up here.”
The couple paid the cabin’s owners for a month’s stay, but according
to Ronnie Suggs, son of the camp’s owner, they had been talking about
leaving for an even more remote area in Kentucky. Sure enough, Manard
left a map of Kentucky unfolded on the bed.
Federal marshals said Manard and Young were planning to create forged
identity papers — they had a computer, a printer and high-quality
paper to create business cards and official-looking documents.
King said he thought the couple’s plans were foiled because they grew
complacent and let their guard down, convinced they were one step
ahead of the law. This might explain why they felt comfortable enough
to leave their two handguns in the cabin when they ventured into
Chattanooga to shop.
“I think they were getting comfortable,” King said. “I think they
thought they had prepared well enough.”
The belongings left behind in the cabin reflect two different people,
united in desperate flight, and, so said the cabin’s owners, something
that looked like love.
Manard had a PlayStation, a pornographic DVD and his musical
instruments.
Young had two jigsaw puzzles — one of Big Ben and another, about a
quarter complete, of a bouquet of wild flowers — and a stack of
novels. A piece of her former life — a key chain shaped like a dog
bone — lay attached to her bag.
Other items left in the cabin speak to the relationship between the
two. Numerous sex toys, whips and kinky lingerie littered the floor.
Of the cabin’s two beds, only one appeared slept in.
The couple had a more mundane side, too. Manard went into Jamestown to
do laundry. He asked the cabin’s owners for new batteries for the
cabin smoke detector. They had Scrabble and card games. Their larder
was stocked with cereal, pasta, Pop Tarts and blackberry wine coolers.
They had a disposable mop and several bottles of liquid cleaner.
The cabin’s owners said they assumed Young and Manard were a couple on
vacation. Young was seen riding in the middle of the seat of their
truck, with her arm on him. She played with the neighbors’ dogs.
Manard was friendly and polite. The only thing about them that seemed
out of place was they never went fishing. The lake is known in the
area for its prime walleye.
“We thought it was a romantic honeymoon,” said Kelli Suggs. “They were
definitely an item.”
On one of their shopping expeditions, they bought a blue parakeet.
They also had a large cushy dog bed, as if the couple was planning to
get a dog. After his capture, Manard told marshals to look after the
bird.
“He said, ‘I’ve got a bird in the cabin,’ ” said Chief Deputy U.S.
Marshal Tony Crawford.
The bird now lives with one of the marshals in his Nashville home.
The two fugitives spent their time like a couple on vacation. They
caught a movie — “Walk the Line.”
The couple’s domesticity surprised the marshals.
“Most of the time there’s not as much pre-planning, and they don’t bed
down like this,” King said. “For two weeks, it was like Christmas for
them.”
Proceedings to extradite the two back to Kansas could begin as early
as today, when both are to appear in separate Tennessee courtrooms.
Young’s hearing will be at 10 a.m. in McMinn County, where she is
being held.
Manard will appear at 8:30 a.m. in Hamilton County, said the local
sheriff, John A. Cupp Jr.
However, the court hearings could be moved to federal court if the
U.S. attorney decides to press charges immediately.

Well it sounds like they'd been planning this for quite some time.
Interesting to read the list of 'provisions' ;) in the cabin. Sounds like
her contribution was 'his freedom' and his was some 'hot sex'.
