Yeah hes in serious condition, so he is starting to stable id, the hospital Officials Say they can take care of him here until hes completely stable and ready move but his run for the border as they were headed towards mexico hes telling police thats where he says told investigators they were heading from their breakout in dan dannemora. On sunday he was shot twice while trying to run for the Canadian Border saying they had planned to meet up with Joyce Mitchell but she never showed up. They were going to kill her husband and then run to mexico. That didnt work out. It was very unclear whether or not that was their plan a, and now its very clear it was, and for three weeks he and richard matt we are in the wilderness searching, scrambling for a plan b. Wolf . Thank you very much. The prison guard, gene palmer charged with this conduct, and has just appeared in court. Jean casarez is in plattsburgh, new york. How did that go, jean . Reporter well it was very short, but it was extremely important. Were here at justice court, and the defendant gene palmer arrived. The media absolutely covered him. He would not say anything, though. As he went into court. The purpose of the hearing to the defense waived any more hearings which is the very preliminary court. They waived on to county court. Now this case will go to a grand jury. The District Attorney said afterwards he may wait up to a month to go to the grand jury because the defendant gene palmer does have a brandnew attorney. He is rich area dreyer from albany new york practices criminal law for four years. He just said they would be going on to county court. I want to give you a bit of color from the courtroom. The charges were not read. He did not enter a plea. I sat right behind the defendant gene palmer. He was nervous, he was serious. You could tell he was not used to being in this position. This is a correction officer now charged with promoting prison contraband tampering with physical evidence and official misconduct. That is in regard to giving and he admitted to new York State Police giving tools at least four times introducing them from the outside to the inside of the prison. Screwdriver and pliers to david sweat and richard matt. After they escaped, burning and burying paintings that the two had given to him. Wolf . Is it a sense that the charges leveled against him are more serious or about the same as the charges level against the woman who is accused of aiding in this escape . That is an interesting answer because actually gene palmer has more charge against him, three felonies and one misdemeanor, as compared to joyce, who facilitated allegedly the escape. Because she is urge chacharged with facilitating an escape which ironically is a misdemeanor. So gene palmer has more serious and potential more time in prison than joyce. Thank you very much jean casarez, with the reporting. Lets look at the clues that led to the end of this threeweek manhunt. Brian todd is here in the situation room.

Hopefully thats what hes revealing tonight and in the coming days as hes talking more and more to investigators. Thats right. Franklin county new york thats where the, thanks again for joining us. Is there any indication that either matt and or sweat attacked or harmed any residents of your area while they were on the run . None at all, were extremely thankful. No Law Enforcement we are injured. Is there any evidence sheriff, that anyone in the outside helped these two guys along the way during their threeweek escape . Not that we detected over at least you know my part of the investigation when they entered into Franklin County we didnt detect anywhere i think there is a possibly that head broken into camps. Are you looking into any of these places where they stayed to see if they had any specific accomplices, or may have directed them, for example . Yeah any of owners theyve deposed, been spoken to by the state police and not necessarily interrogation, but, you know following any of those leads up. I want to show you and our viewers a photo. This one shows both matt and sweat in the woods, taken from whats called a trail cam. Has your Department First of all, seen this photo, as far as you know . I havent, but a lot of those leads and details went into the command center at cadyville. Do you know if it played a role in the capture . Im sure it did. We had over 2500 leads that came in you know maybe ten or 15 of those were credible. So im sure this photo played a big part in how we we reacted. That picture was taken june 24th so its a significant to Law Enforcement, including you. As of right now, the stuff that brian todd was talking about that was discovered together with david sweat, what other indications, what other clues was it providing . As to whether or not others may still be at large, accomplices . I dont know as far as accomplices, like i say, the items they have really sfrnt illustrate snow mobile maps that type of thing, those were the items. And even the sweat was wearing would not by uncommon. So presumably they stole these items from inside one of those cabins. Is that what your suspicion is .

The kids will all rest well tonight, have a good sleep tonight. You can never really plan how it went down. Im glad that no civil juans were injured. I think any of us expected there to be a really big gun battle and im glad it country come down that way. Thank you, sheriff, for joining us. Joining us now is our justice reporter evan perez. I understand youre getting new information how the fbi is broadening this investigation into what shaped . Thats right, wolf. The dysfunction in this prison is the focus of this investigation by the fbi. Were told theyre looking into Drug Trafficking run, whether people were surprises heroin to the prisoners and whether some of the employees were actually involved. This is something that comes from some of the interviews the employees have painted a picture of rampant heroin use. This is now the beginning of a much bigger problem to see whether or not theres bigger corruption issues. This is even more shocking. Take us inside an fbi investigation. What was going on at that time is then uncovered information about this heroin trafficking ring. So what started as just what happened cause the escape who helped in that regard has now expanded into actual corruption of Public Officials in the prison. Heres the question should it be shut down . Should the prisoners be moved elsewhere, at least no now . No keep them now, its onestop shopping for interrogating. Seriously i dont know where else they could put these people for now, but certainly they need to figure out what happened there. The structure and building and physical location might be just fine if you have the right Corrections Officers who are honest employees and do what they have to do to maintain control. Apparently that all broke down. Pretty shocking stuff indeed. Lessons learned and move forward. It needs to be an independent investigation, and you dont trust the governor to do this . I trust the governor i just dont trust everybody who works for the state of new york so the fbi . Not necessarily. It could be another igs from another state. Just some other officials that arent here. Because the governor has liability here the head of the prison system the head of that jail not just heroin corruption and trafficking, that type of thing, but this happened on their watch. If people had been killed. If an innocent civilian or Law Enforcement officer had been killed during this escape thats really their responsibility to keep control of these inmates. Its supposed to be a maximumsecurity prison supposed to be the place where you are assured these people cant get out. The governor is saying in 100 years no one has ever escaped, which is true no one has escaped until now, so they have to learn some lessons, hand if these other accusations that youre talking about, widespread drug use, heroin use, thats pretty shocking. Let me get matthew involved in this. Quickly, matthew, you want to react to what weve been talking about . I have to agree with tom. There needs to be an independent investigation as to what created the environment that caused these security compromises. Now that one suspect is dead and one suspect is captured we can go tack and start from the beginning. The security lapses and try to figure out what happened and what activities these two were doing while they were in the woods, in the cabin, if there were other cabins stole items, hurt people whatever. Theres still a lot of investigation. Matthew, we also heard david sweat is now supposedly speaking to authorities. We were told the plan was to have mitchell drive them to mexico. So whats the incentive here for this killer whos going to spend the rest of his life in jail . Whats the incentive for him to cooperate . At this point, theres no traditional incentive. As tom pointed out yesterday theres no disincentive to not talk. Hes in custody, going to be in jail for life. Hes injured right now, so using good interview techniques hopefully ability to get more information out of him. That would vailate. Joyce mitchells story and other people. The only incentive he might have is if hes going to be in solitary confinement which humanably he will be. Hell be locked up in a small cell maybe a tiny window maybe theyll give him a bible to read if hes a good prisoners, after a few years, moby dick maybe one hour a day, the only incentive to have is maybe hell only have to spend 22 hours in a that will sore confinement. Ill tell you, one incentive he may have is the fact that other prisoners now know he was a snitch he was providing information that he had a very close relationship with the employees of the prison the guards and that they were using information from him from those two fugitives, whorl building their plan now people know that they were so they would he would have a very big incentive to cooperate. And your sense also is this guy he wants to show off . Absolutely. Hes pulled off the greatest escape of our times. He doesnt care if its 22 or 23 hours. Its going to be bad no matter what but i think he would be narcissistic enough want to brag about what they pulled off, how they pulled off this fabulous escape. They were out there for three weeks, his ego has taken the best of him already. But i would be very careful for believe a word he says. He ease a liar a killer obviously no good. Stand by.

Thames on the same day, inside a moving and on that beach in tunisia, at least 37 tourists killed both of those attacks, a single gunman. Its that attack thats of great concern, because its very difficult to atracked. Look at this demonstration of eye sizs. More than 3,000 attacks over the year.
