Police released new images of what two escaped murderers might look like after nearly two weeks on the lam as they expanded the search perimeter beyond the 16-square-mile area of northern New York woods, fields and swamps where the manhunt has been most intense.
New renderings of Richard Matt and David Sweat, the two men who cut their way out of Clinton Correctional Facility in a Hollywood-style breakout on June 6were released.The images are similar to the mugshots released after the escape, but feature the men with beards.
Meanwhile, authorities announced they were expanding the so-far unsuccessful dragnet for the men. The more than 800 law enforcement officers who have checked more than 500 homes and summer cabins as they combed the rural area 20 miles from the Canadian border have shifted their focus eastward from Dannemora, the village near the maximum-security institution.
Sweat, 35, was serving a life sentence without parole in the killing of a sheriff’s deputy. Matt, 48, was doing 25 years to life for the kidnap, torture and hacksaw dismemberment of his former boss.
Meanwhile, the prison worker charged with helping the killers flee by providing them with hacksaw blades, chisels and other tools was visited in jail Tuesday by her husband, also a prison worker.
