You know, it's a damn big world, and it ought to be a relatively simple thing to hide out in it, if you are willing to lead an uncomplicated and quiet life. Yet fugitives of both the short- and long-term variety get nabbed. Why? My theory is that the same impulses that led them to a state of fugitivity in the first place lead them to do things to call attention to themselves.

Hence, if you're a woman inclined to imprison and sexually assault a 19-year-old Mormon missionary 30 years ago, you're likely to the the sort of woman also inclined to arrange for rogue Korean scientists to clone your dog. HENCE YOUR DOWNFALL.

I hope the dog was worth it.
