Back in 2012, Jason Paul Race, one of five people arrested for the horrific torture and murder of Michigan woman Nicole Cuevas at 142 Carlisle Street in Wilkes-Barre, was involved in a sketchy car accident in Plymouth Township.
One of the people in the car with him was Anthony Cook, the man who escaped from the Carlisle Street house of horrors in July 2023 — three months after the murder of Nicole Cuevas.
It’s shocking how quickly this house of people took a vicious turn against another human being. One of them they knew for many years. The other was a newcomer.
The 2012 car accident on Mizdail Road occurred when a Pontiac Aztek with Race, Cook, and a young woman in it was hit by a pickup truck that lost control making a left turn. Both vehicles stopped, but the driver of the pickup took off “when he was confronted by 31-year old Jason Rece [sic].”
The article says the young woman was driving the car, but Race admitted in a later Facebook post that he was actually the person behind the wheel.

Jason Race posted this on one of his Facebook accounts in November 2012:
“This is to all the people who think u know me why cant u just let the past die to clear things up yes i was the one driving when the azteck got smashed but i was only driving cause she asked me 2 drive.”
