Joe, I think that may be a chow...it's pretty much the same exact article that Snopes posted.
And maybe she text messaged because it's easier and quieter to do than to call her mom. If the kidnapper was asleep, she could have text messaged then, hoping that the cops would get them before he left.
I'm wondering if the defense is going to go for an insanity plea, judging the number of bunkers he had, the holes he'd dug in the past, and all the other things mentioned.

I always thought the insanity plea was hinged on the person not realising what they were doing was wrong, or being unable to control their compulsion to do things.. Then again I'm not a lawyer.
This guy seemed to have a pretty clear plan and motive, and executed it with some decent precision, and has a record of similar crimes, I don't think they'd get far with the insanity plea, but then again crazier things have happened (no pun intended).
I hope they lock him up, he's clearly a threat, though obviously not too good at his tasks (he left a cell phone on her? and didn't chain her or the other girls mentioned up? don't get me wrong I"m glad they all survived but he's a pretty poor killer, which is a good thing, better then a smart one).

From what my lawyer friend says, "If the guy kills someone, and waits around for the police:insane. If he hides the body:not insane." In other words, it did hinge on knowing what you were doing is wrong. This guy at least tried to hide what he was doing, so (at least at first glance), no insanity plea. I bet it gets more complicated, and I am also not a lawyer...

I was thinking that because he used so many methods of trying to hide, it may indicate some form of paranoia that's psychologically unhealthy.

He would be clinically insane, but not criminally insane. Of course, I am neither a lawyer OR a clinical psychologist.

As Peggy Hill says, "I am not a professional psychiatrist, but I am an amateur psychiatrist." Any hillbilly who kidnaps a girl and hides her underground and then smiles for his mug shot is clearly (sing it with me) nuuuuuuuuts. But I would doubt criminally insane.
