PRINCETON, W.Va. -- A 14-year-old girl under house arrest on charges of murdering her father escaped after cutting an electronic monitoring device off her ankle and gluing it to a cat, authorities said.

Police searched on Wednesday for Kayla Marie LaSala, who fled an uncle's house early Saturday.

If she thought pinning the device to the cat would fool authorities, it did not work: An alarm went off when a circuit in the device was broken, officials said. But she was gone before police could get there.

"She's very, very sharp. She's cunning," said sheriff's Detective C. T. Lowe.

She is accused of murder, so I do hope they catch her soon. She deserves a few days of freedom for thinking this up, however.
