Daniel San Diego: Why would FBI fugitive hide in rural Wales?

Date:

Peter, who is probably best known for his time capturing make-believe fugitives on Channel 4’s TV show Hunted, said picking somewhere so remote had pros and cons.

“Being remote you can be living in a property where neighbours can’t see you, the public’s prying eyes are a long way away and you’re not going to face uncomfortable questions like you might do if you were living in a terraced house in a city, for example,” he said.

He said there would also be benefits to choosing to hide in a big city.

“You could be anonymous because people don’t talk to each other, they sit cheek by jowl on the bus or on the tube and still don’t speak to each other, if you say hello to people they think you’re a nutter, so cities are sometimes favoured because of the anonymity they can offer,” he said.

“The flip side of that, of course, is CCTV is everywhere in our major cities, which is a concern for fugitives.”
