Harrodsburg Police say they found a state car early Wednesday morning that was used by two teenage girls who overpowered an officer to escape custody.
17-year-old Amber Tucker and 16-year-old Brandi Murrah were being transported from Warren County to the Morehead Youth Development Center in Morehead, when one of the inmates faked an illness.
When the transport officer checked on her, police say both teenagers overpowered the officer, forcing her to stop and exit the car.
They then allegedly stole the car, a blue 2005 Ford Crown Victoria.
Harrodsburg Police say they found the car at the end of an undeveloped subdivision of US 127 behind the Jeff Sachs auto dealership in Mercer County.
They tell 27 NEWSFIRST both rear tires were flat.
Officers couldn't find a weapon or cell phone inside the car and said the keys were missing.
Police used a K-9 unit to try to track down Tucker and Murrah but couldn't find them.
Investigators think the two could have been picked up by another driver.

I'd give Brandi and Amber a home if I knew where they were, yes I'd take a gamble on them. If they were given love, a good school and allowed to associate with good quality friends, I am sure they'd do fine. I don't condone their method of escape, but I also do not feel bad for those they escaped from. I hope they are safe and doing well. I will do a search and see if there is more on them. I WILL give them a home if they are still alive and I can find them (I know unlikely). I know some feel they should probably be transported wearing only bright orange leotards, with bare feet, handcuffs and and their ankles chained, which while may make it more of a challenge (high visibility, uncomfortable not having shoes, etc) I doubt it is a solution to reforming them for a productive future.

Just found this site. Not only do I know both these girls - "I Love Them". They ran afraid of the system that they are a product of. All children need love. Some never have real parents who love them. That leaves it up to others the moms and dads in foster care who try very hard to make a difference (and do) but sometimes the damage has already been done. These young ladies have issues far beyond the present. They are beautiful inside and out. Rejected over and over by people in their lives they strike out sometimes just from fear. It seems so odd that perfect strangers can be so indifferent and harsh. Yes they did something incredibly wrong and both now are facing the consequences, yet if you had to be in their shoes growing up or now today as they live with the results of their actions. You probably would have done the same or worse, just to get away. Try not to pass judgement.
thelma and louise need a good spanking.i bet these girls come from good homes but their parents just could not do a thing with them .or on the other hand no one has ever gave them love or guidance ,whatever they need they are not going to get it this way ,girls start thinking ! is this the way you want to live your lives ?
