Police searching for a homicide suspect who used bed sheets to escape from a northwestern Pennsylvania jail say he is likely still in the area and that someone may be helping him to evade capture.
A homicide suspect who used bed sheets to escape from a northwestern Pennsylvania jail is likely still in the area and someone may be helping him to evade capture, police said after discovering possible campsites in nearby woods.
Bivens said Monday that the stockpiles consisted of "supplies that would assist him with a prolonged stay in a wooded area." He declined to be more specific but said investigators suspect someone is helping Burham. Bivens said officials "have no reason to believe he has left the area," but that authorities are "constantly re-evaluating" that conclusion.
State police urged residents to be vigilant and keep doors and windows locked. Bivens urged them to secure food, clothes, vehicles or even weapons that he could take.
