The search for two convicted murderers who broke out of an upstate New York maximum security prison more than two weeks ago focused on two separate locations hundreds of miles apart Sunday.
The Albany Times-Union reported that forensic evidence had been discovered indicating that either Richard Matt and David Sweat had recently been in an area 20 miles west of the Clinton County Correctional Facility in Dannemora, from where the two men were reported missing June 6.
The paper, citing a person familiar with the investigation, reported that the evidence suggested that at least one of the men had broken into a home in the area of Owls Head, east of the Titusville Mountain State Forest.
WCAX-TV in Burlington, Vt., also reported that investigators had found DNA from one of the inmates in a cabin that had been broken into in nearby Wolf Pond. A Vermont State Police tactical team had been mobilized to help track the men down, according to the station.
Acting Franklin County District Attorney Glenn MacNeill reported another unconfirmed sighting on Sunday, as he told WPTZ-TV that a person had been seen fleeing from a hunting camp in Mountain View, N.Y., area. Much of the county is within the Adirondack Park.
Earlier Sunday, about 300 law enforcement officers searched the neighboring towns of Amity and Friendship near the Pennsylvania border, where two men who resembled the convicts were spotted Saturday near a railroad line that runs along a county road.
