Meth labs: Nature trails pose new dangers to walkers and hikers
July 24, 2008
How do you avoid getting busted for a meth lab? If you’re like many meth cooks, you’re not setting up your meth lab in your home or apartment. You’re finding a location far from where you think DEA and law enforcement agents might be looking for a meth lab - in the woods. It is one of the theories that police are exploring as they try to find out why two teenage girls from Oklahoma were shot to death after going for a walk along the woods located near their home.
townspeople said methamphetamine use — a particular scourge in small-town Oklahoma and elsewhere in the nation’s heartland — has gotten bad around here, and crime is up.
“You think you’re safe anywhere, but you’re not. All the thugs is moving out here, too,” said Skyla’s grandfather, Jimmie Farrow. “It’s a whole new ballgame.”
