A murder suspect, Michael Charles Burham, escaped from a Pennsylvania jail using tied together bed sheets, prompting a large-scale manhunt. Burham, who is considered dangerous, is suspected in several crimes, including the murder of a New York woman. Authorities have expanded the search beyond the city of Warren, as Burham is believed to have "survivalist skills" and is comfortable living in wooded areas. Investigators have found stockpiles of supplies on camp sites that they believe belong to Burham. Over 10 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies are involved in the manhunt, and rewards totaling $9,500 have been offered for information leading to his capture.
