Slippery Like a Fish
Just because Julia was in police custody, it didn’t mean that her days of scheming were behind her. Even the police knew that Julia was as slippery as a fish in the water. Deputy Sheriff John Hickey was in charge of transporting the con woman to court, where 50 victims were waiting to testify against her. “Oh, she won’t get away from me,” he reportedly told his fellow detectives.

At first, everything seemed to be going smoothly. The Sheriff successfully transported Julia to court, but in the ride home, he ran into some trouble. Julia, he claimed, escaped from his moving vehicle into a getaway car. It became pretty obvious that the Sheriff was lying about how Julia got away.
