Uncle Elbert and Aunt Becky

PORTLAND, Ore. - A couple wanted on drug charges after their rescue from the mountains of southwest Oregon was arrested Tuesday in Washington state, authorities said.

Elbert and Becky Higginbotham were stopped without incident near the coastal city of Long Beach, Wash., according to a Pacific County dispatcher.

The Higginbothams were in the same beige motor home where they spent 17 snowbound days earlier this month. Their March 21 rescue attracted national attention. But the joy of the rescue quickly turned sour when Arizona authorities recognized the Higginbothams as a couple that had been caught with methamphetamine and a shotgun, reneged on a promise to cooperate with investigators and disappeared.

Uncle Elbert promised he'd get off the stuff. Maybe if he hadn't been so amped up on meth he could have found his way out of the snow storm. How many people...right now...have an Uncle Elbert whose cooking meth in his beige motor home? I'd guess a ton.

Ok..so maybe they aren't really my aunt and uncle. But as far as Higginbotham marketing goes...they're killing us.
