FOXNEWSW Shepard Smith Reporting June 22, 2015

Hello. It is the first big break in the manhunt for those two escaped killers in upstate new york. The convicts dna turning up inside a cabin sending hundreds of officers scrambling t to a new search site. That according to several reports which indicate the killers leveled the dna traces during the breakin within the last couple of days and police would not talk about the evidence they found other than calling it the first confirmed lead in the search for the savage murderers. That cabin breakin happened in a heavily wooded area not far from the prison. The New York Times reporting the cops found prisonissued underwear inside in addition to dna. That cabin is near wolf pond, an area filled with vacation homes lots of them empty until their openers returned for the season right about now. You can see here just how isolated that area is with thick woods where the men could be hiding inside. That makes finding them a whole lot harder. For more than two weeks now they have somehow dodged hightech equipment, including choppers with night vision and heat, seeking cameras. The killers have proven just how crafty they can be. Prison Officials Say they pulled off a complicated escape using power tools to break out of their cells and tunnel beyond the prison walls. Cops accused a prison tailor of giving them tools to help in that escape. She is behind bars he was. But on friday the prison put out a guard on in connection with the breakout officials have not said exactly why but i he is on leave right now and today theres word that the killers might have gotten help from a lack of security at the supposedly maximum security prison. According to the New York Times. Guards rarely checked to make sure that prisoners were actually in their cell beds during hourly checks. The times reports that the thumb the inmates used had not been regularly inspected in years. How about the guard towers . Well allegedly the night of the escape, they were empty. And cell blocks dont have surveillance cams to watch for any suspect behavior. Wreck leventhal is live in new york. Whats happening there . Reporter a very heavy Police Presence with road blocks like the one you see behind me. Vehicles stopped check trunks open other. Roads closed completely as teams of police officers, aviation and k9 units scour the thick woods of the adirondacks here, checking structures and possible hiding places for the two escaped killers who have been on the run for 17 days. Police confirm they recovered items and found definitive evidence the men spent time in a hunting cabin here. Authoritying catching a baby when the man who owns the camp went to check on the place armed if a handgun. He saw a jug of water and a jar of Peanut Butter inside. He yelled at whoever was in there to come out and someone went running out the back door. Its a confirmed lead for us. Generating a massive Law Enforcement response, as you can see. And were going to run this to ground. There are reports that authorities found bloody socks and boots and toiletries and footprints and locals are being warned to stay on the lookout. What more do we know about the corrections officer the latest one who is now on leave . We confirmed his name is gene palmer a 27year veteran of the clinton correctional facility, the maximum security prison where the breakout occurred. According the wall street journal he had significant contact with matt and sweat and also worked with joyce mitchell, who is now charged with helping them escape. The mans Attorney Says that palmer talked to the fbi and state police for 14 hours providing significant and relevant information and he says his client did not intentionally help the men escape. Authorities reportedly looking at three other Corrections Officers for their possible connection to the escape. All right. Rick leventhal, thank you. Springing craig cain, former corrections officer and retired inspecteddor with the u. S. Marshal service spent 30 years hunting 1vd overseas. Youre the real deal. Thank you for dropping by. The dna is apparentsly inside this cabin, which is very close to the prison itself. So folks are saying, wait a minute. All this time for roughly two weeks theyve been right under the noses of Law Enforcement . What does that say . Well, as i said earlier, in one of your earlier shows when they set up the perimeter from the focal point the jail, and expanded outward they have to figure out how far theyre going to go. Has to be a limit to unless they have concrete evidence or information that theyre further or a particular point. They have to decide where theyre going to stop. These guys could be, like they said earlier ten miles just past the initial perimeter hunkered down, waiting for they could be 350 miles or so 365 miles where they were looking yesterday, because Law Enforcement and is was covering the News Conference we have great confidence in this one witness who saw two men by Railroad Tracks which invites another question, these guys could jump a train. Absolutely. They could jump a train. But want to bring up the point theres a lot of people out there, as crazy as it sounds, rooting for these guys. Really. Absolutely. These could be false leads. Yes. Suppose youre in a town and having a problem with your town theyve dont want to fifth you a variance, the Code Enforcement is bothering you im going to wreak havoc on the town. Ill call up and give a leave. Ticket out on the government. Exactly. One Law Enforcement official says theku in j the next 24 to 48 hours were confident theyre going to be caught. Thats a broken recording. We have heard that repeatedly. We have but we did not have forensic evidence that put them in a particular point a particular area. So this is huge. I wonder whether Law Enforcement overestimates their skills and is underestimating the cleverness of these guys in their survival skills. I remember eric rudolph, we have a picture of him. The olympic bomber. He was a fugitive in the wilderness of the Appalachian Mountains for five years before he was finally caught but only by accident. So these identifies could be out there for a long time. Absolutely. I had a indicate, guy escaped from a virginia road gang in 1940. We caught him in 1990. These guys are clever. Let me ask you about the other aspect of the story. The New York Times, big story today, security and inspections at the prison were lax guard towers vacant, no cam florida the cell blocks, rules routinely broken and complacency was rampant. I worked in the prison setting for a very brief time, and its like a machine. If you dont oil that machine the machine is going to get fatigue, machine is going to break down. So i equate the prison system to a machine. Theres fatigue among the officers not getting paid good wages, dont care. Or if theyre not doing their inspokes lax on their inspections, things happen and they were lax to a certain degree and these guys made their holes and cuts. If youre running a maximum security prison, youre the warden you have to make sure its being run properly. You think. How could you have guard towers unmanned at night especially. Ludicrous. Its crazy. No surveillance cameras. Maybe money is an issue but in this day and aim when i started in the early 80s they had surveillance cameras. This is the federal system i was in so maybe they had little bit more money but ive been up to state prisons many times and just cant fathom them not having a security system. Craig cain, hope to have you back when they catch these guys and hopefully wont be five years like the olympic bomber. Thank you greg. The man who landed a gyrocopter on the lawn of the u. S. Capitol. He says he rejected a plea deal that would have landed him behind bars for several years in april the postal worker from florida flew a minihelicopter through some of americas strictest nofly zones over the nations capitol. He did it, he said to call attention to Campaign Finance laws. A bit of a disconnect but nevertheless he carried a box of protest letters addressed to each member of congress, but the mainman faces charges that could get him in prison for ten years. He says he rejected the plea deal because he did not believe he deserves so much jail time since nobody was hurt.

So far no reports that the Islamic State has destroyed any artifacts but the group claims the Syrian Government has hilt the area with air strikes killing more than 10 people.
