In the sixth day of a manhunt for two convicted murderers, authorities focused their search efforts for David Sweat and Richard Matt in the town of Cadyville. Last night, New York State Police troopers set up road blocks in Cadyville. Approximately five miles from Dannemora where the Clinton Correctional Facility is located. Investigators are talking to other prisoners and prison employees to try to figure out how the men obtained the tools and if they had inside help.
Joyce Mitchell, an employee at the facility, was allegedly supposed to pick up the men after they broke out but instead sought treatment at a hospital for a panic attack. Sweat was serving a sentence of life in prison without parole for the 2002 murder of Kevin Tarsia, a deputy with the Broome County Sheriff’s Office.
