Michael Burham manhunt: Pennsylvania cops say someone's helping 'armed and dangerous' escaped fugitive
Fox News
Pennsylvania State Police announced a news briefing Monday with an update on the interstate manhunt for escaped inmate Michael Burham, also suspected of murder in NY.
He made his way though the jail's gym to the rooftop Thursday night, where he was able to climb down with a rope mad from bedsheets, according to authorities. Then he snuck off in a denim jacket and jail issued orange-striped jumpsuit and matching Crocs at around 11:20 p.m., police said. But he may have changed his clothes along the way, and more than 150 officers from state, local and federal agencies were looking into reports of possible sightings in both states.

"We do believe that he is getting some assistance," Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens revealed during his remarks Monday afternoon. "We are prepared to prosecute anyone who does offer him assistance."
