descended on a town 40 miles south of the maximum security prison after a possible sighting. police combing through farms and fields and looking for the let's begin our coverage with polo sandoval. good morning, polo. >> reporter: hey, alisyn. this morning, the search expected to press on this time with two breaks in the case. it had to do with several employees interviewed by vergt investigators. joyce mitchell. a source close to the investigation saying she reportedly agreed to pick up the two men once they emerged from the manhole not far from where we are standing. we are told at one point, she changed her mind possibly suffering a form of panic attack and ending up in the hospital. the other lead coming from investigators. a source telling cnn her phone

used to call several people linked to a suspect in the case richard matt. they are not sure who placed those calls, when the calls were made. we have to make it clear, no charges have been filed against mitchell. so that's still part of a very fluid and ongoing investigation. we are doing some digging into who she is. we do know that she is a clinton employee. she's been an employee here for five years according to information we have gathered here. she worked alongside inmates as a tailor. she is married in nearby town of dickinson. she is committed to her job and her son toby mitchell denied her being involved in the elaborate escape. >> she is not the kind of person who is going to risk her life or

other people's lives to let these guys escape from prison. >> reporter: meanwhile, it is a new day here in the small town that sits in the shadow of the clinton correction alpha silty. today, people are beginning to wake up heading out to work. this has become a routine. they head out to work and school and continue their lives. they go past the check points that are very much a reality now. it's a regular scene here. >> let's stay with the urgency the investigators have on this. there are no charges against her. she also hasn't asked for a lawyer. that's the give and take. they are concerned about who else was helping here and what the plan might have been. that leads us to the manhunt. we heard about a sighting. how strong is that information and how confident are investigators at this point? >> reporter: that actually happened overnight monday into tuesday. there was an individual driving

in the small town near willsboro. two individuals walking down the road on a rainy night. as the person drove toward them they ran away into a field. officers dozens of them really responding to the town 30 miles away from the correction alphaal facility. at this point, no results. you can expect investigators to be back out there. >> polo thanks so much for all that information. we want to dig deeper with a professor at city university in new york and an expert on the prison system. it's great to have you. jeff i want to start with you. not only are you an expert on the prison system you grew up in and around this prison and your dad was a correctional officer at this prison. >> yes. >> how surprised were you two

people could escape from there? >> it was really surprising. i know the security in the prison. i have been inside once during the course of my research. my father of course worked there. understanding the security level there, it is a huge shock that this happened. >> what about the notion they became involved possibly romantically with a worker who helped them? >> it's surprising but not uncommon. my research on my dissertation revealed this does occasionally happen. these are controlling environments that are run and populated by human beings. these types of errors i think, are prone to happen in any type of environment like that. >> you have this toxic dynamic. the contraband that gets inside come from people with friendly connections there. let's get to how it manifests

itself. a lot of people were surprised to hear they would be on the road and be seen. what are the realities? if the plan is fallen apart, how do they get from a to b? >> if they were popping the manhole cover saturday morning and expecting somebody to pick them up that wasn't there, that must have been a complete panic on their part of now what? where are we going walk to? a small rural area. going to be hard to hide day or night very long and they wouldn't have been prepared to deal with the elements. it's up state new york it still gets cold. it's a harsh climate. the pennsylvania state trooper killer planned to be in the woods having food prepositioned and clothing. they are out there dealing with the elements. that makes them more dangerous than they were to go in and do a home invasion look for food water, money, firearms cars

anything. that would put every family in that rural county probably in extreme danger if that's true. if they are on the loose and in the woods in that area they are going to be in somebody's home before too long. >> the children are being kept inside at school not allowed on the playground. jeff in your research you say you find it very hard to believe they would go through such an elaborate escape plan to get out of their cells, cutting through layers and layers of walls going through this tunnel system and not have a better escape plan once they pop out. >> right. my research indicates, going back almost 200 years. people who broke out of prisons in the north country, which happened with great frequency when they did not have a get away driver a way to get out of the area often did become lost. the first people who escaped from that prison in 1845 got so lost they ran back to the

prison. so the environment is formidable. it's tough terrain, if you are not familiar with it. it can be deadly. >> that explains why they would be walking on an open road. the grass is deep it's cold and wet, it's buggy. you want to stay where you can even if that seems like simple considerations. an interesting dynamic is loss of control. as elaborate as they were inside they are outside unless they have affiliation with a gang they are on their own. they were completely dependent on who was supposed to help them. >> if they feel like cornered animals, they are going to do something for continued freedom. another concern the marshalls have and all the officers working on this task force is because of the reports that are so likely they are in that very

area that people might discount the possibility they made it out of state or made it to mexico or canada and may see two people that look like them and say oh it can't be them they have been spotted in up state new york. that's a concern the marshalls have. anybody out there cross country and the nearest couple countries, if you see anybody that looks like it could be them one or the other or both, call it in. they want to pursue any lead. the first leads that might have been true saturday early morning, the later sighting may not be true. >> we are going to put a number up to call authorities. tom, what are they doing at this hour? what is the fbi, what are the marshalls doing at this hour in terms of trying to canvass and find these guys in this rural farm area? >> well in the rural area as weather permits, they have not just search teams on the ground

but they are using aircraft. at night, they are using aircraft with infrared trying to see the heat signatures of people moving through the forest at night. it would show up more dramatically as white ghosts moving on the ground giving the colder weather you have at night in the wooded terrain. the unfortunate thing with infrared and we have used it for many years now. in these situations lost children, not just funlggitives, you pick up animals. there could be deer bear and animals picked up and have to be picked out. >> they had scenting dogs picking up scent. >> jeff from your experience how long is it going to take to find these guys? >> i would say, from my research this probably will be resolved rather quickly. >> seems like it. >> yeah. >> seems like they are hot on the trail. thanks for all the information.

again, if you have information, if you spot these guys or have information on their where abouts call the u.s. marshals at 800-336-0102 or 911. >> do not approach these guys. they have killed and in the worst way. a police officer who slammed a 14-year-old girl to the ground and pulled a gun at a pool party in dallas has turned in his badge. he's resigning after his chief, not the media, not an advocacy group, the chief, called his conduct out of control. we have the latest live in mckinney, texas. >> reporter: good morning, chris. the officer was on administrative leave. he left before the investigation was completed. some are saying his resignation isn't enough. >> the actions as seen on the video are indefensible. >> reporter: eric casebolt seen

yanking a 14-year-old bikini clad girl on the ground and putting his knee in her back has now resigned. the police chief said it's too soon to say whether he will face charges. >> our policies our training our practice do not support his actions. he came into the call out of control. as the video shows, was out of control during the incident. >> reporter: this as protests continue over the shocking incident. some teens at the pool party say the police officers actions were definitely racially motivated. >> when he came black kids over there, white kids there. we want to see the black kids because we think we did something and the white kids are innocent. you can go and take your phones out. >> reporter: the local police union said teens and adults were trespassing at the private pool.

there were reports of fighting. casebolt has not responded to cnn's request for comment. we have been told casebolt is not expected to speak to reporters today. we learned this morning, his attorney will be holding a news conference this afternoon. alisyn? >> thanks for that background. washington d.c. on high alert following phoned in bomb threats. serious enough to force the evacuation of west wing and capitol hill. why weren't president obama and the first family evacuated? we are live at the white house with the latest. what happened? >> reporter: that is one of the many questions we have. the two evacuations happened hours apart, nearly back-to-back. officials are looking to see if they are linked in any way. tuesday's white house press briefing was business as usual, until -- at nearly 2:00 in the afternoon, in the middle of a

live briefing the secret service says a bomb threat was called into the d.c. metropolitan police targeting the press room. reporters evacuating. camera crews packing up their equipment before bomb sniffing dogs were on the scene. officers covering up the press cameras during the evacuation to protect the investigation tactic. this security scare came just hours after a bomb threat was called into the capitol police targeting a tsa hearing in the senate office building. >> we are clearing the floor. please exit as quickly as possible. thank you. >> reporter: the bomb squad targeting the third floor. after the all clear, journalists filed back into the briefing room a half hour after the evacuation. >> do it one at a time.

>> reporter: josh earnest peppered with questions. >> i left the room at the same time all of you did. >> reporter: the president and first family were not evacuated even though president obama was in the oval office and the first family in the residence at the time. >> i have complete confidence of the men and women in the secret service to make judgments to keep us all safe. >> reporter: this is on ongoing investigation to see if they were linked or a connection in anyway to this unusual state of bomb threats against airlines recently. one forcing the scrambling of two f-15s. >> thank you very much. we want to tell you, some 500 additional troops could be heading to iraq to fight isis. most used to help train iraqi forces. military officials are telling cnn a number of options have been considered including sending 1,000 troops to iraq. we are pushing for a final

number. russian president vladimir putin seeking a sympathetic ear from the pope. what is on the agenda? cnns senior international correspondent is live at st. peter's square. good morning, nick. >> reporter: expect ukraine to be on the agenda and the plight of christians in the middle east to be on the agenda. president putin ostracized excluded from the g7 meeting that took place a few days ago. the pope is under pressure as well. ukraine's catholics don't believe the pope is taking a strong enough light with russia. he said what was happening in ukraine was -- they want the pope to be stronger and want him in that meeting with president

putin to take a strong line. the pope typically, tries to keep a position of neutrality to build and reconcile for peace. but the pope also needs, if you will president putin. the pope wants to unite all christians not just catholics but the orthodox as well. 25 million in the world. putin has influence over them. putin would be helpful in trying to help in secure all those christians in the middle east these days who face so much pressure and uncertainty in their futures. chris? >> looks like putin is coming to the pope not so much as pontiff but a political figure. thank you for the reporting. we want to tell you about a case of road rage that almost turned deadly. an argument over nothing. a lane change turned into a fistfight. one of the men winds up getting socked and falls into the street

and misses a passing van. look at that. no one files charges. the guys get back in the car. the cops are not looking. a stupid fistfight. now he gets back in. he thinks he's a tough guy. if that sucker punch he threw had knocked that guy into the van, it is now manslaughter. i don't care that you just wanted to lane change and you are angry and a tough guy. the moment he does this if he hit that van and we know what happens if he hits the van, it's manslaughter you are going away. >> you are not thinking when this is happening. that's great, logical rational for not having road rage. you are triggers for some reason while you are driving and you can't control yourself. >> you know what i feel? we give it too much validity of justification. yeah there's road rage and you are triggers in a confined space. a lot of it is stupid.

>> it is stupid. >> his whole life could have changed. cops say never get out of the car. i don't care how tough you are. never get out. the police officer caught on camera slamming a teenage girl to the ground and waving his gun at other teenagers at a pool party has resigned. does more need to happen? we debate it next.

eric casebolt resigned from the mckinney police department. as the chief of police i want to say to our community, the actions of casebolt as seen on the video are indefensible. >> that is the police chief of mckinney, texas. he is the guy caught slamming a 14-year-old girl to the ground and waving his gun as teenagers approached him. like many cases, this is not just about what happens, but why it happens. let's discuss why it happens with harry and mark. he resigned. he wasn't thrown off the force. we have a police agency coming out and saying instead of what we sometimes hear is we think this is all fine and we'll do our own review. he's saying this is totally against what we are about here

in the community. how helpful do you think these actions are? >> it sends a powerful message that we might be turning a corner here. these types of behavior are unacceptable. >> any downside to this? >> no. it's clear this officer's actions were incorrect. you know i was surprised he resigned. i thought maybe he would take it to the course and the police department. it's a good thing he resigned. >> because? >> because he probably looked at the video and thought i really was out of control. there's no way to fight with your gun. he figured, listen i don't want to go through administrative hearings. the best thing to do is resign. >> does it have to be about race? is there any other way to look at this? there's no question they were

saying the white kids were over here and the black kids over here. other people said she had a big mouth, she was running her mouth, she didn't comply. what is your take? >> nothing is ever too simplistic you can say it east just race or exclusively not race. white kids yell at police officers all the time. what is the response. i try to look at it not in isolation, but across the country. overwhelmingly it's black kids it happens to. the police officers black and white officers. black cops aren't any better. black and white cops look at black children as older than they are and more guilty than they are. tamir rice looked like a 21-year-old. >> why isn't it simple harry? i will take the other side of this. feel free to knock it down. it is simple. you are the professional. people do all kind of stupid things. some are respectful some are

not. you have to deal with them in the same way. white, black, green, brown, it's how you deal with it. >> this officer was out of control. like i said the other day, when you respond to a scene like this you have two black independent witnesses. there was a 30 minute melee going on. we saw a seven minute video. the kids tried to get into the pool. the security guard who could not control it had to call the police. it was a large altercation going on. it wasn't a riot. there were seven people involved. when the police officers respond to the scene, you find those seven people involved in it. >> were they identitied as black? >> i have no idea. >> we have the hear the 911 call. i want to hear what the 911 call said. if there's a bunch of black students trying to get in the pool and they are not allowed

and climbing the fence and the security guard couldn't handle the situation. nobody in the neighborhood called the police it was a security guard. >> if you call and say it's a black guy who robbed a bank you don't have to find an asian and white guy to harass too. target the person you are looking for, but you don't have to abuse the person you are looking for. >> i agree, 100%. >> the irony, of course is girl who threw the party was a black girl from the neighborhood. how does that play into it? >> what do you do about it? hire more black cops. marc says doesn't matter black or white, it's how you train them. >> you don't want to get beat. that's the end game. we get it. they come out and say, it's hard to hire them. you hear that a lot.

what he says next you do not hear that often, because so many of them have records, they have spent time in jail and we can't hire them. he gets upset. he say this is was taken out of context. he said stop and frisk has unintended consequences. i have to make the case. if you look at the stats, more blacks are involved in crime. >> he's right. one in three black -- >> is all of it right? >> everything he says there are other factors. >> i don't agree with everything commissioner brad said. stop and frisk does not make you a criminal. it uncovers criminality. if you got stopped by stop and frisk and nothing is wrong, nothing is on your record. stop and frisk and you are carrying a gun, you take the police test. you are not going to get it. a lot of black men don't want to be police officers maybe. >> he says that too. >> a lot of them don't want to

be a cop. >> it's not a celebrated thing if you have a negative experience. >> 80% of stops are petty drug crimes. >> but they are crimes. >> most people walking on the streets carrying guns aren't trying to be cops. if it's a misdemeanor, it can be used as a negative factor in deciding whether or not you are chosen as a police officer. >> the commissioner said that in a statement. >> according to the rule book, it demonstrates disrespect of the law. my bigger point is yes, police officers or black people don't want to be police officers for a bunch of reasons. it's arrogance for someone to engineer a set of laws and policies that disqualify you from being police officers. they don't want to be police officers because they keep

getting arrested. >> maybe you should not break the law. that's the main issue here. >> but black and white people -- only black people are getting caught. >> that's a table for discussion. get online. let's continue it. you have marc and harry. let's keep the conversation going. in the next hour we are going to talk live with a kid involved here. a teenager who shot the cell phone video. why did he shoot it the way he did? you will hear for yourself. alisyn? there are two escaped inmates on the loose. after four days on the loose, are they close to being captured? we live in a world of mobile technology, but it is not the device that is mobile, it is you.

new developments to tell you about in the manhunt for two escaped prisoners. they escaped from a maximum security prison in up state new york. according to sources, a woman who works at the prison named joyce mitchell planned to help the convicts make a get away but she got cold feet at the last moment. the search south of the town continues. let's bring in mike rogers a former michigan congressman and chairman of the house intelligence committee. good morning, mike. >> good morning. >> do you think the sheriffs are close to getting the fugitives? >> i have heard mixed results.

what's going to happen is they are going to make a mistake. the early planning was well done. what happens in these cases is eventually they have to move or they have to purchase something. either way, it's going to narrow down the law enforcement's ability to catch them. they are going to make a mistake. they will catch them eventually. >> it seems as though one of the parts of their plan fell apart. they are going to use the assistance of this woman they met who is the tailor of the prison and she befriended them and got cold feet and went to the hospital with a panic attack instead of picking them up. what happens to a woman like that if she was going to help them but didn't help them what are the charges? >> she's facilitated the escape of felons. that's a serious charge. what will happen is it will unravel. she was only part of the plan i guarantee it. on visitations people were

smuggling in construction equipment to cut through concrete. there was a host of people within that prison system some number of people who helped in that escape. that investigation will clearly be going on now. someone will break. likely if she had a panic attack alisyn as a former fbi agent, she's going to unwind quickly and it will lead to other arrests within the prison system. you can't tolerate this. they need to throw everything they have at them. you have exposed the community to very dangerous felons who are now on the run and god only knows what they will do to resort to to not go back to prison. the crazy scene at the white house. two bomb threats called in first to the senate dirkson building during a tsa building then the white house press room during a press briefing. first, let me show our viewers the proximity of the press

briefing room circled in red and the ovl office at the bottom of the screen in yellow. first, mike let me show you what happened. a very brief clip of the few seconds of the chaos when they first got word they had to evacuate. watch this. >> we need to evacuate the press room. we'll come back. >> so there you see josh in the middle of a press briefing and everybody had to clear out. why didn't the president have to evacuate from the oval office? >> depends on what the location of the bomb threat was and so apparently the secret service agents made an immediate assessment. they didn't feel at that time the president was in danger from that area. >> help us understand that. we just saw the map. if it was called into the press briefing room the oval office is a hop, skip and jump from there. >> it's not as close as you

think. the map is misleading. if you have been inside the white house, the press room is not located close enough you know to have a blast range that would be of concern. so it would take a significant amount of explosives to impact the press room and the oval office. they made the quick assessment if there was a bomb within that area, the range of that bomb would have not impacted the president, if he was even in the oval office. i'm not sure i know that. >> i think we heard he was. out of caution, the first family wasn't evacuated from the residence either. why not get everybody out? >> again, you don't want to cause panic throughout the whole building. that causes another set of problems. i think they went through their initial assessment. to impact the building the way it is constructed, it would take a significant amount of

explosives to do that. you would be able to see it very very quickly. the way the circumstance of the bomb threat to my understanding and where that location of the building is would have minimized that impact to a small area of the building. it was probably safer, in their minds, to go through that and say we are going to try to see if we can locate something we believe, if it were a smaller device versus trying to evacuate the whole place. at the end of the day, it's probably right. again, it would take a significantly sized device to impact the rest of the white house. they have to make that decision on the fly, on the run. to me i think they would have made the right decision even if there had been a small device in that room. >> it would be very hard to get any device into the white house. still, the bomb threats we have seen with the airlines and now the white house is troubling. mike rogers thanks so much. nice to talk to you. >> thanks for having me.

june that's the month. it is shaping up to be a big one for the obama administration. over the next few weeks, the president could see big wins. trade deals with 11 countries. so big, it's almost bipartisan. scotus when you decide to get a subsidy, when you get obamacare, whether it's legal. what happens if none of these happen? is it a legacy moment? we have a former adviser to obama. we will baptize you by fire. the idea of having legacy concerns at all, is that a reality or is it a political

conceit that should be avoided? you think because they are right, not because they are good for what you are going to look like in the future. >> legacy is something people in the white house never talk about. they worry about what is happening in fronltt of them. these are three important things coming to head here in june. >> the pacific trade deal is not an easy one. lots of people do not like it. they have been vocal. some democrats. harry reid says he hates the deal. what is going to happen? >> i think the white house is going to get it across the finish line but it's going to be hard. the politics in trade are complicated. you have progressive democrats against it. you have tea party republicans and republicans skeptical of giving the president any authority. the president is working with the republicans in the house. it's going to be close. >> fair criticism, he can't control his own. the left is giving him a hard time. he doesn't know how to control.

>> i don't think so in this case. this is a traditional split in the party. there's always a split between democratic presidents and democrats on trade. >> let's talk about the thing nearest and dearest to the president's heart. the health care initiative. the supreme court is going to decide soon. if they decide against the president, against the subsidies, that is a big problem. not just for legacy but everything he put in place. >> it's a big problem for a lot of people. it's a problem for 6 million to 8 million americans who are going to be unable to afford health care. it's going to be a problem for the president and congress. they are constituents in their state who are going to have health care denied to them. it will be a political game changer. >> what is the no plan "b" thing. the administration doesn't like it. what is this no plan "b"?

how do you not plan if you care so much about this legislation? if the decision goes against you, you have no plan? >> there is no plan in the sense that there's no silver bullet no magic wand. they have to solve the problem on their own. it requires a legislative fix. we will see what the court says. i think the president has been very clear. he believes the law is on his side. this is not a time to divide the legislative intent of lawmakers. they intended what the bill is doing. >> this would be i think, the biggest set back of his presidency if it doesn't go his way. >> it would be a big set back. i think it would be very -- it would be a set back on the legislative issue and take away from all the other things we are talking about in june because we have to do something about it now. let's go to iran.

secretary kerry broke his femur negotiating on this. where are they today on it? >> the president said there's a 50% chance they can get it done. i think it stands there. knowing secretary kerry as i do, he is working throughout all of this. you have to rip the phone from his hand to get him to take rest. there's been tremendous progress made a few years ago. no one thought it was possible. now i think it's a coin flip. there are a lot of hard issues they have to get resolved. >> very often in politics the best strategy is to have something else you can go with in case it doesn't work. is there anything left the president or the administration his team could go after in this last period as a defining proposition? >> there's a whole host of initiatives executive and legislative we would talk about. >> i think so. >> i'll give you a couple examples. one would be infrastructure. that is something that is

traditionally bipartisan support. something the president cares about. there are ways to do that. you can find ways to reform the tax code to close loopholes and use that money to then pay for infrastructure. there's been bipartisan support for that. that would be a huge boost in the country. that is one the president and the republicans could work on. >> tax code and infrastructure why not do those? they are no brainers. >> nothing is a no brainer in congress these days. >> it's very expensive. dan put it forth provocatively, it's not a big ooh thing. it's a lot of money and not a lot of fanfare from the voters. >> bipartisan everybody likes it. we need it. >> they don't like the price tag. >> there are ways to pay for it that the public would like a lot. most notably, shift jobs overseas spend it on infrastructure here. >> a reminder we lived through

it in philadelphia. the reason the train crash happened is yes, the engineer. if they had positive train control on the track the way they were supposed to have that's infrastructure. >> great to have you on board. thanks for being on "new day." what is your take? tweet us using #newdaycnn. there is a lot of news this morning, we promise. let's get to it. authorities are still on the trail of escaped killers. investigators are questioning joyce mitchell. >> an employee who worked with the men in the tailor shop. >> she was not going to risk her life or other people's lives to let these guys escape from prison. >> corporal eric casebolt is his name and he's resigning. >> our policies our training, our practice do not support his actions. >> you diffuse the situation, not escalate it.

>> since the riots, baltimore had the deadliest months in history. why is this happening? >> people on our side -- >> this is "new day." >> good morning, everyone. welcome back to your new day. michaela is off today. investigators looking to a new york prison employee to fill in the blank of how two dangerous convicts managed to escape. joyce mitchell planned to pick up the convicts after they made their break, but she changed her mind. >> another key is her cell phone. that phone may have been used to call other people connected to the convicts. that's a target for investigators. the focus is on the manhunt. are police closer to a break in the case? we did hear about one. let's get to randi kaye. what do we know? >> reporter: i can tell you more

about joyce mitchell this morning. she worked at the prison since 2010. she's married, lives in dickerson and worked in the tailoring shop with the two escapees. she knew them pretty well that's why she's being questioned as a possible accomplice in the case. she is somewhat cooperating and hasn't been charged with anything. let's talk about her cell phone. it was used to make several calls to people connected to one of the escapees richard matt. we don't know if she was aware her phone was being used. she was supposed to pick them up that day and had a change of heart and did not pick them up. that may have sent her into a panic attack. listen to what her son told nbc. >> she is not the kind of person that is going to risk her life or other people's lives to let these guys escape from prison. she was,
