May be in Vermont
While at a press conference with Vermont Gov. Shumlin, Cuomo says authorities in both states are on high alert for Sweat and Matt. Authorities are scouring farms and woods as well as the Lake Champlain shore line for any sign of them. Cuomo:
We have information that would suggest that Vermont was discussed as a possible location…We need to find these escapees. They are killers. They are murderers.
Hunt continues
Law enforcement officers and police dogs fan out on the third day of a manhunt for Sweat and Matt. The New York State Police tells NBC News they have more than 300 tips. Gov. Cuomo:
These are dangerous men capable of committing grave crimes again.
