Mobster finally caught!

According to Yahoo News a man that has been known as Jeffrey Shaw that moved to a small town in Idaho and lived an almost perfect life has finally been caught by the FBI. Enrico Ponzo a former New England Mobster moved to Idaho after attempting to kill his boss in New England Ponzo was never to be seen again. Ponzo lived in a two story house and had 12 cattle in the back yard house was in his wife’s name. One of the neighbors took Ponzo to the shooting range and they said he was the best shooter they have ever seen every time that they would mention a gun Ponzo would say I have one of those. Information was not released on how the FBI led up to catching Ponzo but he was wanted for several serious crimes.

Is this crazy or what?  I just can’t imagine living next to a guy that is on the FBI most wanted and is living with a Different identity. The thing is thou we would never know because most people would not expect things like this when getting a new neighbor. If I lived in that small town I would have been suspicious because people from New York just don’t move to a town in the middle of nowhere.
Why did it take so long? Because he moved to a place where not many people go besides the one living there and he worked from home and would only pay for things in cash. I guess he had the 12 cows so that he would fit in and wouldn’t stand out.
This is just crazy I think he is actually pretty smart to think of a getaway plan like this and put it to use. But just like anything you can only get away with it so long it will always catch up to you sometime or later.

  1. I'm glad he finally got caught, although we shouldn't automatically be suspicious of everyone that moves to a small town from New York or any other big city. Sometimes people in big cities just move to get away from all the craziness of living in a big city!

  4. I think he must have really planned ahead to have been living there like that. It makes me wonder how many more are out there living in small towns just like ours. lol..
