PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Two killers on the run from a northern New York prison for three weeks disagreed over whether to hole up in a hunting cabin — one worried about being captured while the other suggested they could kill or take hostage anyone who checked on the remote camp, state police said.
State Police Maj. Charles Guess told the Press-Republican of Plattsburgh (http://bit.ly/1JgU8ua ) that David Sweat and Richard Matt spent two or three nights at the cabin two weeks after their June 6 escape from the maximum-security Clinton Correctional Facility.
Sweat told investigators after his capture that he wanted to leave the cabin 30 miles west of the prison before someone discovered them.
