Cops appeared to be closing in on a pair of killers, as details emerged Monday about their escape: Tools used in the “Shawshank”-style caper were smuggled into the prison inside a shipment of frozen hamburger meat — and a cabin they used while on the run belongs to corrections officers.
...
Joyce Mitchell, the prison worker accused of helping Richard Matt and David Sweat escape, allegedly got a corrections officer to bypass the metal detector and deliver the meat to the murderers, a source told CNN.
...
At the time, Matt and Sweat were in an honor block where inmates who behave themselves are allowed to cook their own meals — instead of eating the prison chow.
...
Sweat’s DNA was found on a jar of peanut butter at the hunting camp on Black Cat Mountain, the Press-Republican newspaper of upstate Plattsburgh reported. Police also found toiletries and a jug of water.
Maj. Charles Guess of the New York State Police said there was “conclusive evidence” that the items found in the cabin belonged to the killers.
It wasn’t immediately clear which corrections officers owned the cabin. The hunting camp is just 30 miles west of the prison Sweat and Matt escaped from.
...
A reward of $150,000 has been offered for information leading to the arrests of the escapees.
