>> and deborah smith that a narrow the strip runs through into the quebec farmland. >> it's amazing, a, how good shape you are in but b, she didn't have any encounters with police all this time given that her house is on the border. did she tell you if she's ever seen anyone crossing between the u.s. and canada? >> deborah has lived there seven years. she said during years she's seen numerous people crossing in her backyard. mostly from canada into the united states. she said it is very scary. she said one time she saw people in masks. she called border officials in both countries when she sees that. she tells us there are sensors in the woods. it is the canadian authorities that control it. >> one more thing, canada is perfectly capable of dealing with manhunts. when it comes to this, it could have turned into an international manhunt and that's much more complicated and that may be what sweat and matt were banking on. >> it's amazing how close he was to being able to cross over. appreciate that report.
