If a pair of escaped cons from upstate New York’s Clinton Correctional facility are hiding in densely wooded areas, then they’d be looking pretty scruffy by now, say officials still madly searching for the “dangerous” twosome.
They could also have made it on foot as far south as Pennsylvania, some think, providing they didn’t get a ride on the night they broke out of prison. In which case, Canada or even Mexico can’t be ruled out either.
Speculations like these are running rampant of late, as would-be capturers -- including bounty hunters hoping to collect $100,000 -- slog their way into a third week of one of the most spectacular prison breaks in modern history.
In fact, lest folks get the wrong idea that recapture of escaped cons Richard Matt and David Sweat is imminent, New York’s governor has taken to routinely reminding a mesmerized public that the slippery inmates “could be anywhere.”
The issue of where they could’ve gone to, and who actually assisted them in drilling and sawing their way out of a maximum security prison in the first place, is a mystery that only deepens with every passing day they haven’t been apprehended.
As a result, the only thing remaining crystal clear as this larger-than-life drama unfolds is that, together, the two murderous escapees make for an exceptionally deadly duo, which somehow hasn’t been caught yet.
And might never.
