The news says it all, or does it?

Running away.

Why do people run away? No matter what you are running from, you are running from something you can not or do not want to face. Maybe someone did something bad to you, then you must run away so you do not have to face the danger that is there, or maybe you are running from the bad thing that you did.

The following are excerpts from The Canton Repository. The dates will be listed with each one if they are on the article.

CITY DEATH SUSPECT HELD IN CALIFORNIA (September 1978)
A 25-year old man who had been charged last October with murdering a girlfriend was arrested Tuesday (9-5-78) in California.
Fred Merle Fix was arrested by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Highland and placed in San Bernadino County Jail.
He had been charged with the Oct. 24, 1977 shotgun slaying of Jeroie Sue McGuire, 26, of 901 15th St. NE.
The FBI had been called into the search for Fix last Nov. 23. He had been charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
FBI spokesmen said Fix had been using the name “Russell David Scott.” They said he was arrested without incident.

…. So you were so much of a man that you ran away from what you had done. You ran all the way to the other side of the country, according to the FBI unlawful flight. You invented a new identity for yourself. Was Russell a better person than Fred was? Was Russell a real man?

ACCUSED MURDERER IS RETURNED (September 14, 1978)
Police Wednesday returned from San Bernadino, Calif., with a prisoner who was arrested on local charges of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and aggravated burglary.
Fred Merle Fix, 25, of 2550 Kirby Ave. NE, was arrested Sept. 5 in Highland, Calif., by Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents.
Fix was charged with the Oct. 24 1977 shotgun slaying of Jeroie Sue Mcguire, 26, of 901 15th St. NE.
Fix’s Whereabouts were unknown since 9:30 p.m. Oct. 24.

…You abbandoned your car some outside of Stark County. The police found it the next morning but you were not in it. To this day I have a burning hatred for El Caminos. I wonder why! Your Mommy said you called her and you sounded lost and confused, but you would not tell her where you were or what was wrong. I wish I could call my Mom.

MAN SAYS INNOCENT TO MURDER (September 15, 1978)
Fred M. Fix, 25, of 2550 Kirby Ave. NE, Thursday was arraigned before Stark County Common Pleas Judge William A. Morris and Pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated murder, attempt to commit aggravated murder and aggravated robbery.
His trial will be before Common Pleas Judge Harold E. Dehoff. A date has not been set.
He is represented by Frank Menster and Joseph Calabretta.
Fix was returned to Stark County from San Bernadino, Calif., following his arrest on an unlawful-flight warrant issued by the U.S. Dept. of Justice.
Fix is charged in connection with the shotgun slaying of Jeroie S. McGuire, 26, of 901 15th St. NE, during an alleged burglary of her home.
He is also charged with the wounding of Donald Batchel, 22, of Canton.
His whereabouts were unknown since the night of Oct. 24.


…They make it sound like you came to our house with the intent to rob it. That was not your intent. We all know very well what your intent was don’t we?! Or did you time out in sunny California make you forget what you had done? It has been twenty-eight years for me, and I have not forgotten, I will never forget. I wish you would come knock on my door in the middle of the night.
