[projekktor id=’19489′]

For the sixth straight day, heavily armed search teams continue to push through the woods in upstate New York, looking for two convicted murderers who escaped from a maximum security prison.

The manhunt intensifies for Richard Matt and David Sweat as investigators focus on help the men may have had during their escape – from inside the prison. Much of the focus, and firepower, is on this wooded area about 3 miles from the Clinton maximum security prison. We now know police blood hounds have hit on the scent of one or both of the escaped inmates..

State police are now stationed along the roadway every hundred yards or so, as heavily armed teams work through the thick trees and brush, while choppers look for clues from the air.
Investigators begin to piece together more information from inside the prison, about how the men were able to escape. Sr. government officials confirm Joyce Mitchell, the civilian instructor in the prison tailor shop, planned to drive the getaway car for for the men after their escape. But as the plan started to unfold, she got cold feet.

Sources say Mitchell apparently, initially agreed to help the convicted murderers because Matt “charmed her,” and “she thought it was love.” Sources close to the investigation say Joyce Mitchell will face charges for her role in the escape, but that it’s too early to know when – or what – those charges might be.
