Underwear that one of the escaped cons allegedly discarded in a cabin in New York’s sprawling Adirondack mountains has gotten sniffer dogs excited today, claim state and federal officials who are still desperately trying to recapture the inmates.
That “confirmed” hit -- and the highly inhospitable wilderness it was discovered in -- suggests that the search may now become ever more complicated, though. Particularly if this dangerous duo has separated.
So too, chasing down every single false sighting of the pair of Clinton Correctional escapees for two solid weeks in a row is threatening to exhaust not only law enforcement officers, but valuable resources as well.
Jailbreak experts and historians insist the odds are against these cunning killers remaining at large for much longer, although it’s already week three of the monumental manhunt for them and they’ve still managed to evade platoons of people relentlessly giving chase…
It’s a farcical enough situation at this point to start asking some serious questions:
Are escaped cons Richard Matt and David Sweat even traveling together anymore?
Did they part company to impossibly burden their would-be capturers?
Or could one have simply slain the other in a brutal bid for freedom?
And, if so, which?
