A registered sex offender is believed to be on the run in Missouri while accused of holding his girlfriend captive in a wooden box for four months.
James B. Horn, Jr., 47, is wanted by Sedalia police ever since a "hysterical" woman escaped from her home Thursday evening and made a beeline to a neighbor's home for help, KCTV reported.
There the woman called 911 and reported Horn as having "routinely locked her in a wooden box inside the residence where they lived," according to a news release.
"Upon responding to her residence, officers did observe a large wooden box consistent with what the female described," it continued.

Police policies need to be changed or they will eventually kill more people with their proper procedures. This lady is lucky that she was not severely injured by the impact and torque to her head.
