-> Back in the mid or late `70's, a guy went to visit his father and
brother who
-> were doing time in Florence State Prison in Arizona, staged an escape
from
-> the open-ground visiting area that included the father, the brother, and
-> another prisoner.
-> 
-> 
-> They hijacked a pickup with a camper on it and made their way to the
gunnery
-> ranges of Ft. Huachuca.
-> 
-> 
-> That area is nothing but open desert, the hottest area in the state. It
gets
-> upward of 130 degrees in the shade down there.
-> 
-> 
-> They had no food or water, and slowly died of dehydration. One died of
one or
-> more bullet wounds recieved in the escape from the prison area.
-> 
-> 
-> A few years afterward....a bunch of guys got the idea of going out onto
the
-> gunnery range and collecting up the cartridge and shell casings left
over
-> from practice firing and air attacks.
-> 
-> 
-> While they were engaged in collecting brass....a military helicopter
`buzzed'
-> them. The driver of the pickup they were in panicked and drove off,
leaving
-> the rest behind.
-> 
-> 
-> Instead of going back for them later, the driver assumed the military
had
-> caught them and they were in custody.
-> 
-> 
-> They died on the desert.
