Is there something you fly-over folks want to confess to us snotty East Coast elites? Is putting people in the trunks of cars and driving away an assertion of daring rugged individualism, like rodeo or chewing Red Man Plug?

“ Akin said he laid on the floor with his girlfriend all day trying to recall what had happened the night before because they had drank a lot of alcohol.”

...and then he thought, "Hey! I'll drive 500 miles to Powell, WY because..." ?

When a sheriff’s investigator spoke to Freudenstein, she said the

the back seat, the documents state. One of the children got out of the

other remained in the trunk the rest of the way to Casper. She planned
to travel back to Arizona with three different children and the two
dogs, according to the documents.

Um...bravo for taking care of the dogs, but...whose kids are those? Where were they getting different kids to haul back? Who says "Hey, my kids need a ride to Arizona. Got room in your trunk?"

Now if they had started the trip on the seat and did the "Mom! He's on my side of the hump!" thing I could see it...

I had the same questions. Sort of envisioned a "these kids are really irritating, I think I'll get some different ones for the return trip" scenario.
