SAN DIEGO (AP) — "Catch me if you can."

San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said Wanda Podgurski sent that taunting tweet after skipping trial in January while facing charges of insurance of fraud.

But then authorities did catch her.

Podgurski, 60, was captured on the Fourth of July in Rosarito Beach, Mexico, a popular retirement spot for American expatriates only 15 miles south of San Diego. She pleaded not guilty Monday to failure to appear while free on bail.

Podgurski was sentenced in absentia last month to more than 20 years in prison and ordered to pay more than $1 million in fines and restitution.

This undated photo provided by the San Diego County, Calif. District Attorney's office shows former … Three weeks after her initial tweet on June 5, Podgurski's feed read, "'Help find me before I con anyone else." Two other posts were links to stories about her vanishing act.

Podgurski's Twitter profile reads, "On the run possibly in Iran."

Her account follows 32 people and agencies, many of them FBI branches and other law enforcement authorities. Dumanis' office said the district attorney was the only one Podgurski followed while on the run.

The district attorney's office declined to say how authorities tracked down Podgurski, saying only that information from the Twitter account was turned over to its Computer and Technology Crime High-Tech Response Team, known by the acronym Catch.

Podgurski's attorney, Philip Kent Cohen, declined to comment.

A Tweet, from an account allegedly belonging to Wanda Lee Ann Podgurski, is shown in this undated la …
The district attorney's office said Podgurski received $664,555 in disability payments when she was charged. While earning $44,000 a year as a clerk for Amtrak, she allegedly held six insurance policies with premiums that topped $60,000.

She made claims with all six insurance companies after reporting that she fell at her home in August 2006, prosecutors said. Private investigators working for the insurers reported seeing her walk stairs without assistance and drive to the store.

If she wasn't such an attention whore she may have had a pretty good thing going for herself.

On a side note, Jesus Christ at 20 years for insurance fraud.

Since she worked for Amtrak she was eligible for FELA.

Probably would have been better off hurting herself at work as it generally pays out very VERY well.

*Railroad employees do not get workman's comp.

Of course I have heard of guys getting busted gaming the system just like she did. The railroad WILL hire dicks to follow you around looking to catch you.

Running from the authorities is an analog affair. No cell phones, credit cards, or Internet.
