Escaped Inmate Taunts Police With Facebook Messages

December 22, 2009

Inmate Craig Lynch, 28, talked about tucking in to a venison steak and basking in Caribbean temperatures in his warm home, making mockery of efforts to find him by posting messages on Facebook.

Three months ago, Lynch broke out from an open prison in Suffolk, East England, towards the end of a seven-year sentence for aggravated burglary.

Instead of hiding away, he reportedly set up a Facebook account under the name Craig ‘Lazie’ Lynch with a photograph of him giving the middle-finger-swearing gesture. He even made 199 friends and brazenly posted updates about his life outside bars.

The convicted burglar also believed to have posted a message on a local newspaper website reporting his escape on September 23.

He also confirms his attendance at a New Year’s Eve party in Lowestoft and another party in Norwich in February.

Police warned people not to approach Lynch, but instead to report any sightings of him.

Do state databases for inmates have any protocols for connecting to each other so as to not miss an inmate having crimes from state to state?
