Hiding in Plain Sight

Houston, Texas, police had a tip that a man they wanted in a stabbing case was in Louisiana, and called authorities there on the phone. “My partner gave the officer a description of Johnson and the officer laughed and said, I think he’s on TV right now’,” Houston homicide detective Brian Harris said. Sure enough, at that moment Willie Johnson was on a Jerry Springer Show about drag queens. Officers in Louisiana found him at a relative’s house watching the previously videotaped show and arrested him. (AP) ...Strangely, Houston police have admitted the tip came from the Jenny Jones Show.
