The search continues for escaped Clinton Correctional Facility inmates David Sweat and Richard Matt. New York State Police said they’re checking seasonal camps and abandoned buildings in the region near the Dannemora prison, as well as continuing to sweep trails and railroad beds looking for any signs of the two escapees. Officers have so far cleared more than 160 unoccupied buildings and seasonal homes, and have searched 585 miles of railroad beds and trails since the convicts escaped nearly two weeks ago, on June 6. State police said their search efforts will continue to expand. More than 160 troopers have been assigned to patrol the communities surrounding the prison 24 hours a day. As of yesterday, troopers said more than 1,500 leads have been generated.
