Rooting for the Underdog

There is only one Evan Ratliff. There are hundreds, if not more, searching for him in hopes of winning the $5,000 prize. Now, there is a new Facebook group dedicated to helping Evan avoiding being found. This group is Run, Evan, Run and membership in the group is available only by invitation and approval by the group administrator. This group was created by Rich Reder of Cincinnati, Ohio, and he hopes the group can, "...put ourselves in his shoes, and discuss ideas/ways Evan might evade detection." Reder goes on to explain the group is "... a place for those with no hope of winning the $5K prize, yet intrigued by the thrill of the chase, to band together in support of our favorite fugutive(sic)!".

As with the crowd trying to find Evan, the Run, Evan, Run Facebook group is leery of possible double agents and misinformation, "...beware of double agents trying to infiltrate our ranks!"

Or is this new group a trap to help catch Evan? You can't always believe what you read, especially on the internet.
