Latest lesson for fugitives: You can run, but you can't hide on Facebook. A husband and wife facing 20 counts of rape, incest, sexual abuse and sodomy in Kentucky fled shortly after their arrest in 2007. Jerry Lee Callahan and his wife, Rebecca, came to Texas, where they applied for driver licenses here and even posted on Facebook, a Kentucky TV station reports. Facebook, not the driver license applications, was their undoing. They chatted through Facebook with an acquaintance, who alerted authorities, Police tracked the IP address and captured the couple in Victoria County, Texas.
