FOXNEWSW Shepard Smith Reporting June 10, 2015

Worse . Absolutely new rules for carryons and how could a planes bathroom possibly get any smaller . Buckle up for turbulence. Lets get to it. First from the deck this afternoon, were minutes away from an update from the new york governor on the manhunt for those escaped killers upstate. Well bring it to you live as soon as it starts. But first were learning this prison worker who helped those prisoners escape allegedly panicked once the ruthless men were free. Thats what sources on the investigation are now telling fox news. We reported yesterday that police were investigating this woman, joyce mitchell. She is an instructor at the prisons tailor shop. According to the fox news sources, shes the one who gave the inmates power tools to help them tunnel out of the prison in upstate new york. They say she was also supposed to get them a getaway car. But when word got out this weekend that the killers were loose, she freaked. Went to the hospital with a case of the nerves and checked herself right in. The womans son coming to his mothers defense now, he calls her a nice woman who loves sewing but he says shes a very nervous person. He told the nbc news that his mom would never help Inmates Escape unless she had no choice. People might say, no matter what i wouldnt do that. When youre put in a situation where a family members friend or other family members might be at risk you would do everything to protect your family. And in my family family always comes first. Sounds like he might know something. There is also speculation that the woman was having an affair with one of the killers, especially the one cops describe as kind of charming but a violent sociopath and psychopath for that matter. The son says no way. And for all we know shes not even a suspect, much less under arrest. First David Lee Miller live at will wills willsborough new york. Whats the latest there . Reporter the road is sealed off because of lots of activity. Media not allowed down this road were told for our own safety. We saw a bus make its way down this road. Earlier we shot some videotape, and you can see dozens of Corrections Officers marching in military formation down this road and this is a road thats not far from where the two suspiciouslooking men were spotted from 24 hours ago. It is believed those two suspicious men may very well be the two fugitives. But the search here is a slow go. This is a rural community. Its very heavily wooded. Nevertheless the authorities are searching every conceivable potential hiding place as best they can. People here though are scared. Doors that are normally left open are now being locked. I talked to one resident here a short time ago and now he says he is carrying with him a sidearm. He is not alone. People here say they would rather be safe than sorry. Theyre taking their own precautions. They are reassured there is a Strong Police presence but they say they will not rest until these two are caught. Youre about 30 miles away but my understanding is theyre still doing door to door by the prison huh . Im now 40 miles south of the prison but incredibly shepard, while searches were happening here there were simultaneous searches literally outside the gates of the prison where the two guys escaped. There was a massive manhunt again today in dannemora, they were there because of no leads or tips they received but an a abundance of caution. They want to retrace their steps and make sure they take every precaution where these two men may be hiding. And residents have become worried, and increasingly so as these two fugitives may be becoming more desperate. Listen. We locked the door and like everybody else were locked and loaded. Because theyre not going to worry about whether the door is locked or not. Theyll come in. Theyve got to be getting hungry and theyve got to be getting wet and cold. The question now, will there be any words of assurance from governor andy cuomo. Hell hold a press conference in about 15 minutes time. Thats when its scheduled to begin. Many are anxiously awaiting good news but there is not a lot of optimism because we still see heavy Police Presence here and elsewhere. What kind of trouble could that woman be in the one who is said to have maybe helped them out. We listened to his son there talking to nbc news, and we thank them for the sound, it sounds like he may know something, doesnt it . If she conspired with them she is facing a host of potential charges, and we can go through them if you like. But the defense of duress they made me do it is not credible. They were inmates in a maximum security institution. All she had to do where she is free to come and go is walk away from them get herself reassigned and shell never see them again. It is inconceivable that they forced her to do it unless there is some bizarre relationship here that we cant even conceive of. Thats the kind of scuttlebutt that she chatted with one of them. According to these sources, she got the power tools to them and away they went. All right. If they had an agreement for the two of them to escape and for her to help them do so thats a conspiracy. First charge against her. If she brought them power tools and other implements for the escape into the jail thats the second charge, giving them contraband. If she looked the other way while they were doing what they did, thats another charge. Aiding them is another charge. Aiding them when they got out is another charge. If they got over state lines, they violated federal law and shes responsible for that. She can be charged of any crime they commit in furtherance of a conspiracy. If they steal a car, she can be charged with that theft. If they steal food because theyre hungry she can be charged with that theft. Conceivably speaking shes facing jail for the rest of her life. Arthur broderick, hes in charge of investigations skpeezand hes live with us. Where do you begin . I wonder what you can get out of other inmates because theyve got to know something. You can get a lot out of other inmates and thats the first place youll go to. Who was in the cell next to them . Who did they associate with on a daily basis . Who did they work with in the tailor shop or other details they had within the prison . Thats going to be the first person you go to. You also go to the visitor logs you look at phone calls they made. You can compile all that information together and decide what step youll take next. They seem to think these prisoners have gone south instead of north. The local sort of coordinator of all the authorities says there is a reason were still looking here so hard and not focusing on the canadian border. I guess they have more than theyre letting on hopefully. Absolutely. Obviously theyre not going to let out the Key Information that they have. I think one of the keys here is the cell phone that they were able to get, mitchells cell phone, and digging down into the numbers in there, obviously weve already heard that there was some calls placed to matts relatives. So thats a key bit of information, but i also think probably that once the vehicle wasnt there, they headed south possibly thinking that Law Enforcement is going to be looking at the northern border. You wonder how somebody could go through months and months and months of planning which everyone involved seemed to suggest that they have and then not have a backup plan for a getaway car on the way out. I think they were taking their best shot. Youre right about the months of planning. They even planned to the point of getting into the honor cell block so they had more access to the facility. This was well planned on at least getting out of the facility but again, i think they relied on an individual or individuals that evidently didnt show up. Onetime assistant director of investigations. You must have some sort of idea about what its like in that prison right now. How much pressure because so many people look so bad. It is unbelievable. Everybody is being looked at. Cells are being tossed, kra contraband is being confiscated. Probably every inmate is locked down there. Every one of them is being spoken to. Its pretty tense in that facility right now. Lets take a live look now, john where this governor is going to speak. Look at that. They have their graphics up with a picture of the two. Governor cuomo is going to come up. Hes had a hell of a bad time the last few months in upstate new york. Now i wonder how helpful politician rz ins are in this sort of thing. Obviously this is the manhunt part of the case right now, so its important they get the pictures up. Its important they give what information they can without blowing the case to quell the people and make the people theres tons of Law Enforcement in that area so its a pretty safe area other than for these two individuals right now. Arthur roderick stay with us if you would. The judge will as well as were waiting for this News Conference to begin from the vermont and new york governors on the search for these killers. We wonder now if they have something new, if theres something new on these two men, one of whom chopped up a victim after murdering him. Well bring it to you live. Also prison breaks are not all that rare. In fact on average in the United States at least five prisoners escape lockups every day. Some of the most notorious breakouts in history coming up and you thought Airline Travel couldnt get any worse, didnt you . Thats what you thought. You were so wrong again. Look in that mirror and call yourself wrong. Its a doosey. Well done. Arthritis like me. And youre talking to a rheumatologist about a biologic this is humira. This is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. This is humira helping me reach for more. Doctors have been prescribing humira for more than 10 years.

Before treatment get tested for tb.

And during red lobsters island escape, three new tropical dishes take me straight to the islands. So im diving forkfirst into the lobster and shrimp in paradise, with pankocrusted lobster tail and jumbo shrimp in captain morgan barbecue glaze. Or the ultimate island seafood feast, with tender crab woodgrilled lobster and two islandinspired flavors of jumbo shrimp. Because a summer without tropical flavors might as well be winter. This escape is too good to miss so. Dont. We are waiting for two governors, the governor of new york and the governor of vermont on word of the two escaped inmates in upstate new york. And the Author Stephen King tweets about prison break similar to shawshank redemption. He says okay the dannemora break was a bit like shawshank. Sometimes life i am tats art, thats all. Except these are bad, bad boys. Its not unusual for inmates to go missing, not at all. About 2,000 inmates broke out of prisons in 2013. Of course not all prisons are the same. More than 20 of them were in new york state. In researching some of the famous escapees. One of them thats still a mystery is the 1982 alcatraz break. The federal penitentiary on San Francisco bay, or the rock as its known to the criminal world, stands humiliated today in its boast of national security. Three prisoners left dummies made with materials, including human hair climbed through a hole they had cut in their cell wall and set off in a raft made with prison raincoats. They were never found and theyre actually believed to have drowned. Back in 1934, John Dillinger was the most wanted inmate in the country, but he shot himself to death. And more recently there was an escape in 2003. Two convicted murderers made holes in their ceiling. They were caught after their chase about a day and a half after they got away, shep. Weve actually seen a drop in escapes in recent years, huh . We have and the numbers may seem high but most of them are not breaks from high security prisons. When it happens, he says most cases are probably from lower security corrections facilities where inmates simply walk away and are usually eventually caught. You can see from this chart the number of u. S. Prisoners who have escaped has actually fallen dramatically in the last 20 years. You mentioned 2013. Compare that to a thousand in 1984. The technology of secur improved and thats in part why the number of breaks have fallen in the last two decades. They didnt have enough cameras, these guys just sauntering around in dannemora. The governors of new york and vermont are expected to talk soon. A Police Officer who shoved a teenage girl to the ground and pointed his gun at a group of kids at a pool party is now in hiding because hes getting death threats. So says the lawyer for the police union or something or other who just held a News Conference one day after the officer resigned from the force after this happened. This. Details coming up on the fox news desk. We spend a lot of time online around here. But with all this speed from xfinity, its all good. Hey, why dont we do some homework for a change . Gary, you too. Dad. Work stuff. Yes lovin the new design konichiwa hirosan. Five minutes. All this speed is very empowering. Check out the new hardware. With the Fastest Internet available, xfinity is perfect for people who need to get a lot done at home. And now you can go even faster. Weve just increased the speeds on two of our most popular plans. There you go a wider shot of the News Conference coming. They have a news easel propped up where the guys escaped. The governors will be coming up in minutes now, and theyll have brand new information on the search for the killers. In the meantime the Police Officer who threw a girl to the ground and pointed a gun at kids at a pool party is now in hiding after people sent him death threats. Thats according to the attorney for the police union who spoke in a News Conference moments ago. Listen. Hes worried for his family hes worried he may be followed. And until that threat subsides hes going to you know be in an undisclosed location. The attorney also said the officer had responded to two suicide calls earlier in that shift, which had taken what she called an emotional toll. The officer resigned yesterday. This all comes after a witness posted video on line showing the cops actions. The towns police chief said the investigators have not yet decided whether to file charges against the former officer. He has also said the actions are in indefensible. Casey spiegel live where it happened. What else came out of that News Conference casey . The officer involved here said that 7minute news video only depicted part of what happened on the scene. The officer was not targeting minorities in any way. He actually detained a white teenager but that was not shown. The officer apologized to all he offended and he resigned in the hopes this community would start to heal. Erics actions at the craig ranch neighborhood were only an attempt to investigate violent assaults. His purpose was to interview as many people as possible to determine who was involved. He believed that those who fled were possible suspects. She goes on to say that the officer did respond to two suicide calls before he responded to the pool party call and that his emotions quote, got the better of him. Shep . Possible suspects not sure to what. Thats the lawyer humanizing the client. Whats the reaction of the community . Varied . Reporter well yeah its been very mixed. Some people are happy hes resigned that hes no longer policing these streets, although he was placed on administrative leave when the video surfaced. Some said he should have been fired because by resigning, he was able to keep his pension and benefits which his attorney did confirm this afternoon. Weve heard there are no charges filed. People are protesting until this is picked up by the district attorneys office. These children were victimized and we need these childrens rights to be displayed and we need the city of mckinney to really stand up for justice for these teens. Reporter the d. A. s office says it is waiting on the results of the independent Police Investigation that is under way right now before it determines if charges would be filed, and theyre asking for the communitys patience while this process plays out shepard. Casey, thanks. Dozens of newly hired secret Service Officers are working without the right job security clearances. Thats according to the Washington Post newspaper which reports today and on line some of those officers are stationed at the white house. The Agency Claims its new director found out about this just last week. Its apparently because the secret Service Hired a whole bunch of new people after recent security lapses but it didnt have the staffers to process all the security clearance paperwork. Secret service at action. The secret service gave a statement about the issue with security clearances which reads in part, the director has taken the
