Richard matt and david sweat broke out of an upstate new york maximum security prison nine days ago. Cnn has now learned Joyce Mitchell charged with aiding in their escape has told investigators about the plan. The District Attorney spoke with cnns sara ganim. The information that we have is that they were going to meet down by the power plant, drive im not going to say until the sun set because it was after midnight and it was dark out, but they were going to drive away from the area potentially to an area that was about seven hours away. She never indicated to us where that location was, it was just thats the information that she was told by matt and sweat, that it was about seven hours away. So has that information helped you guys at all in the search since she didnt actually pick them up . Well i mean it helps them in the sense that she was planning it. Plan a didnt work out. We dont know of a plan b yet, oar than walk other than walking away from the village, entering this valley here and trying to survive. Have you guys narrowed down your search area at all . From what i understand speaking with the new York State Police officials, that they are continuing to bring the perimeter in but its still an active still an active search. I cant tell you how wide the search is right now because i havent been out. I havent been out there i havent beenup in a helicopter to look at it and see where its at. So how far could the escapees gotten . A sevenhour drive means they could have gone as far as 400 miles. Miguel marquez is covering the manhunt and joins us live from west plattsburgh, new york. Miguel were learning these inmates through this interview also may have rehearsed this escape. What kind of detail are they getting . Does this come from Joyce Mitchell . Reporter again, this is from Joyce Mitchell through the investigators, something that she told them that for as long as a month, they had cut the holes in their cells and were able to get down into basically the belly of the prison and figure out sort of map it out and figure out what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. If it is true although i think a lot of people have uncertainty how much they can believe that comes from Joyce Mitchell if it is true though its just another sort of stunning fact that they were able to have such free rein of what is meant to be a maximum security prison. And then talk to me about what you are witnessing today in the search. What kind of tools are being used how they are going about it whats happening . Reporter it is much the same as the last several days still focusing in that one area where they had their best lead yet, which was scent dogs picking up the scent of the two fugitives. If it is true that she didnt pick them up and they had no plan b, then Law Enforcement believes that they are somewhere fairly close to the prison itself. They have been focusing and moving in in that area in a refined sort of way, putting up hundreds of Law Enforcement officers along the roadways there, the major highways through this area and then moving them through the brush to the next major road clearing out everything. Also keeping tabs on every single house in the neighborhood whether it is whether people are saying there or whether its a seasonal house and maybe empty at the time. Going back time and time again to make sure nobody is staying there, nothing is disturbed. Weve had some nights of very terrible weather here getting fairly cold in the mid to high 50s here as well which if you are wet, miserable, cold tired and hungry you could get hypothermic pretty quickly out in the woods. The bugs everything from ticks to chiggars to mosquitos to the biting flies, miserable. It is not the place you want to be on the run. All right, miguel thank you so much.

And accordsing to our affiliates in spokane, washington the president of the naacp will confront her critics who say she has been lying about her race. Rachel dole sals brother says quote, she told me not to blow her cover about the fact that she had this secret life or alternate identity. She told me not to tell anybody about montana or her family over about. Stephanie elam has more on the woman behind this puzzling controversy. Reporter it seems like an easy question. Are your parents, are they white . Reporter but for Rachel Dolezal it was enough to make her run from a reporter. She is professor of africana studies. For years the 37yearold has claimed shes black. Reinforcing that belief by posting pictures like this one from the spokane naacp Facebook Page. The caption underneath says her father presumably this black man, will be a special guest at one of their events. But this is the birth certificate cnn obtained from rachels parents.

On her application, she indicated that she is white, black and native american. Now the city is checking to see if this new revelation has violated any policies. The truth here is that she is a white woman, is exercising extraordinary privilege to try on blackness, to try on everything but the burden and decide when and how she wants to be this thing that she can always walk away from. Reporter cnn tried unsuccessfully to reach her for comment. As for the naacp the organization is standing behind dolezal saying we encourage americans of all stripes to become members and serve as leaders in our organiza
