and then he shot. >> good evening. thanks for joining us tonight. breaking news a major developing concerning a woman they reportedly defended, joyce mitchell. that's her picture. now, the local district attorney say that any charges against her, and he says there could be several, may depend on her continuing cooperation. he's going to join us shortly and we'll find out more. also word from multiple outlets that she was investigated by the corrections department for her relationship with one of the two men. now, reportedly, david sweat. we just learned that authorities near the prison have now gotten
8:01 pm
more than 650 local leads with hundreds more coming in from around the state and the country. first, randy kaye in the search zone where police dogs noticed something in the air. >> another strong lead, this full-time in the time in the village of katyville. authorities now confident that tracking dogs picked up the scent of the two fugitives and that an imprint from a shoe or boot may belong to the men. >> you can definitely feel the increased police presence today with more and more law enforcement checking cars looking in the backseats and the trunks. also cars are being detoured off the main highway to smaller roads like this one. >> new york state police have shut down a large part of route 374, the main thorough fair where clinton correctional facility is located. and there is someone with a gun on nearly every corner. >> this all began late wednesday
8:02 pm
when residents received automated phone calls from homeland security in the middle of the night warning them to turn on outside lights and lock their doors. this latest search turned up what appear today be bedding. >> this is just one of the many areas they're searching. there has been a steady flow of police activity with law enforcement going in and out of this neighborhood, also, low-flying helicopters up above. but, still, no sign of the two men. >> as a precaution nearby central school district was closed for the day as the man hunt continued. >> have you seen any state police around here? >> oh state police have been by here without exaggeration probably 50 times in the last two or three days. >> have they asked you any questions? >> yes, they have. if i've seen anything, heard anything. the answer has been no. >> if the fugitives are still in the area they're up against
8:03 pm
some pretty tough terrain. even the search teams are having to use four wheelers to cut through it. there is so much thick brush, it can be hard to see. >> swampy areas are everywhere around here. residents say there's even quick sand. all of that plus black flies and coyotes. >> i'm sure it's bad if they are out there. they're probably getting eaten alive. >> the longer this drags on the more residents are on edge and nobody here is taking any chances. this woman checks her attic and basement every night before bed to make sure she's safe. >> what do you think the likelihood is that these guys are still in this area? >> i think it's pretty good. because i know if i was running, i'd be looking over my shoulder. >> imagine that? having to check your basement and attic every night? randy kaye joins us from outside the prison. first of all, katyville, how far is that from the prison?
8:04 pm
>> well we're in danamora, right in front of the prison here. there's anotheranother town called cyranac. >> is it basically what the dogs picked up? >> there's a few reasons why. heavy rain. it's been raining steadily since we got here. and the rain is especially heavy at night. maybe they're sitting tight and haven't moved on because of that. and their get away car, joyce mitchell, who was allegedly supposed to pick them up didn't pick them up. there's a lot of freight trains that come through the area but they're still not believing that they got on the fragt trains. another reasonable is because of what they found. the bedding that they think and some of the other things in the area. and, also just the pact that there's a path they believe that they might have taken in some of the backyards here. so they're looking at all of that as a factor. >> all right, randi skrks aye,
8:05 pm
appreciate it. now, the possible relationship with one of the two killer. abc news and the wall street journal report that it was david sweat. even though officials did not find enough to discipline her, it was enough to pull sweat out of the tailor shop where ms. mitchell was working. >> anderson we're learning that someone complained about a questionable relation shen between joyce mitchell who's also known as tilly and one of the inmates, which we believe may have been david sweat. though there have been some sinuations with the other man who was working with the tailor shop. unclear as to what the questionable relationship was about. the corrections officers did investigate. and when the two escaped, i believe investigators were very quickly able to turn their attention to this woman simply because of her connection. >> and that's why they were able to check her cell phone and know it was used to contact some
8:06 pm
associates? >> that's exactly right. multiple calls were made to an associate, richard max. they believe she made those calls on her behalf or alternatively, they took that phone and made that cole themselves. that's a bigger indication. who were they talking to outside of the prison walls and who did they expect to possibly help them when they did ultimately escape. >> so we don't know for sure i know the wall street journal and abc has been reporting that their relationship may have been with this guy, sweat, david sweat. >> one thing we have to keep in mind by all acounts, these two men were together constantly. they shared cells, they were able to get a job in this tailor shop repairing inmate clothing. so the fact that they were together so much and they were so intricately involved in this plot to escape together, it's possible that when the relationship the questionable relationship was discovered with one of the inmates, then the
8:07 pm
other one sort of stepped in to take the place. this is all about cunning. this is all about conning. and this is all about looking at a woman who was susceptible to this and taking advantage of it. she told investigators that she was made to feel special. but, other than that the family is denying an inappropriate relationship between her and the inmates. but what she's telling investigators investigators, it seems to be contrary to that. >> fascinating. deborah farak, thank you for that. heading up the criminal investigation and he joins us now. thanks so much for being with us. what can you tell us about the search as it stands right now. have you gotten any new clues as to where these guys might be? how confident are you that this seems to be on the right trail? >> thank you for having me. i just had a quick briefing with some of the lead investigators in the case. the search is continuing tonight. we'll continue that as long as the dogs have a scent.
8:09 pm
ased on the information we have of potential items that she may have brought in the facility to give to the two inmates chltsd. >> can you go further on that? >> we still need to support these allegations. and until we can get that information to fully support those, having a probable cause to do an arrest based on the
8:10 pm
investigation, we'll make a determination if we charge her with those offenses or not. >> she's fully cooperating. she does not have -- she has not exercised her right to request an attorney. she voluntarily seeks us out, comes in and each day has been providing more additional information that's assisted this investigators. >> her family has said she's gone to the hospital with her family said a panic attack. is she home right now? is she being treated for anything? >> i don't know medically what she's being treated for at this time. >> okay. as i said earlier, it's being reported there may have been some sort of prior investigation to al gaxlegations that david sweat had with andrea mitchell. can you confirm that?
8:12 pm
as taken. but probably not to the extent where ms. mitchell could be potentially removed from the facility. >> can you describe what her demeanor is? how she is handling all of this? is she freaked out by it? does she seem just -- conversational? >> i'm not present during the interviews of her. i am dealing with things here, locally on our end. so i haven't met with ms. mitchell. i have talked with the investigators briefly who are conducting the interviews. but i don't have that information for you. >> fair enough. andrew wily, appreciate your time. thank you very much. john walsh of cnn's "the hunt" few people have his knowledge or experience. just how good are law enforcement professionals who work on all fours. gary tuchman shows us what tracker dogs can do.

8:15 pm
8:16 pm
welcome back. moments ago you may have heard the district attorney of clinton county on this program say dogs are on the scent of david sweat and richard matt and confirms joyce mitchell was the subject of a prior investigation into an alleged relationship with one of the two. he also confirms it was david sweat. ms. mitchell has already been tied to matt, and is being questioned in connection with her reported role as the would-be getaway driver. john walsh from "the hunt" joins us to talk. and our panel on that news and developments, lenny defall, former commander of u.s. marshal service, for new york and new jersey, robert fernandez, currently runs similar task force covering the washington, d.c. area, and maryellen o'toole, former fbi profiler. so, rob, investigators are zeroing in and set up a perimeter.
8:17 pm
you caution fugitives can still slip through? >> absolutely. it is very similar to the eric frahm manhunt last october. i was out in the woods two weeks looking for him. thought we saw him. tight perimeter on a much smaller area. it is very easy for these guys to slip through. >> is that just because of the dense underbrush? for someone who hasn't spent time in that kind of region, environment, if you actually have seen somebody how can they still slip through? >> because you can't, you have men posted at certain distances, but it's -- it just, because of the landscape, because of the, foliage, we were set up in one place where there was a bear that came behind us 20 feet. we didn't see it. one guy in a deer stand was about to shoot at it. it is very difficult in that area.
8:18 pm
an that's why i want to remind everyone that, that -- they could have been in that area. they may, i hope they still are in the area, the noose closes in on them. but they very easily could have slipped away. so we have to stay vigilant across the country. >> rob something like, we hear about thermal imaging technology. how foolproof is that in an environment like this? >> it is fantastic technology. however it is going to display on any living creature that shows heat in the eric frame case, showing up on deer, bear, dogs, and we were responding to those. it's difficult to tell from a distance.
8:19 pm
so, it's very helpful but again it, it -- it is difficult to say this is, these guys are, in here right now. >> lenny, investigators reportedly treating the one area like a crime scene. looking for any forensic evidence. what kind of things would they be doing? >> well, with respect to -- to the blood hounds and the hit on this, apparently the hit on the fresh scent, picked up some fresh tracks and stumbled on to an area where the guys supposedly bedded down, supposedly. hopefully that all comes true and they're closing in on the two guys. you know, there are, there were some things found in the area, some wrappers from food or whatever. that's consistent with, what's been in the jail. so, all of that, a home run for law enforcement. as rob said though. they certainly could have slipped through the cracks. you set up a perimeter. try off to tighten it up. things happen. weather. they're up against it variety of things. the terrain is pretty rough. foliage as rob spoke of. so they're up against it. but, keep our fingers crossed. >> the advantage here, i assume investigators have is, i think if memory serves me in the eric fraim case, and eric rudolph case, survival, spent a lot of time in the wood. that's not the case with these
8:20 pm
two guys. >> i don't believe the skill sets are anywhere, where they need to be if in fact these two guys in the woods. which is a huge advantage. we're on day six, i believe, they don't have provisions. i wouldn't think. not enough. probably delirious, turned around. the weather has been, raining. so, yeah. hopefully they screw up somehow and we get on to them quicker than we would like. >> maryellen, we know joyce mitchell had some sort of relationship with, with david sweat. unclear exactly. she told investigators that richard matt made her feel "special." sweat had been removed from the tailor shop. didn't find evidence of what the relationship may have been. you said psychopaths can make
8:21 pm
rational people do irrational things. such a fascinating idea. can you talk more about that? >> sure. their ability to manipulate and con and persuade someone to -- to trust them. to engage with them. to convince them that hey i'm safe. i'm not a threat. i am a changed man. at the same time, pay a lot of compliments to some one to say, you know you are very special. if i met some one look you 20 years ago, maybe i would never be in this situation. it's a grooming process. but the first, the first thing is to pick someone that, that they know is vulnerable. that will -- for whom this will all be very appealing. once they identify the target. then they can start using their, their charms. and kind of groom them over a period of time and get them, the key is, they get them to compromise themselves legally, sexually, and in other ways, so by the time the grooming process is done this person has committed themselves off to this individual and they look back
8:22 pm
and they think, i just can't, that's not who i am. >> so fascinating to me, maryellen, a psychopath who doesn't have the kind of feelings that everybody else has to actually be able to perceive the feelings of others and manipulate the feelings is fast night. appreciate you being on, mary ellen. lenny depaul. robert fernandez. ahead i'll talk to john walsh, what he believes it takes to catch fugitives. sweat and matt. and plus the dogs crucial to the search. how sensitive are their noses? what factors, help or hinder their ability to track down guys like this? you just heard from the district attorney in the region, as he said, last heard that the dogs are on the scent. gary tuchman takes up close. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder... ...whether i should seek treatment.
8:23 pm
i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients... ...who've had no prior treatment. it's the one and only cure that's... ...one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... ...can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. with harvoni there's no interferon and there are no complex regimens. tell your doctor if you have other liver or kidney problems or other medical conditions. and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. harvoni should not be taken with any medicines containing amiodarone, rifampin, or st. john's wort. it also should not be taken with any other medicine that contains sovaldi. side effects may include tiredness and headache. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready? ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you.

8:26 pm
again our breaking news -- new insight into why investigators focused on prison worker joyce mitchell so early on, so quickly. why they were able to examine her cell phone. the prior complaint about her behavior with david sweat. that was the reason. now we should underscore she is yet to be charged with helping either killers. possibly she won't be charged if she continues to cooperate. now more on the help they're getting from the raw geography of where this is happening. joining us, some one who knows what it takes to catch a
8:27 pm
fugitive, john walsh, from cnn's "the hunt." >> john, the hunt, explain what it is? >> they're in an area that is so big, so large, so vast, they're close to the canadian border. they could walk across the border. people don't understand you can walk across borders into countries. and, i personally think that with so many cabins up in there, especially in vermont, summer homes that these guys if they're still together could be holed up. they haven't done anything stupid. they haven't raped anybody. most lifers will go on a crime spree say i'm going to get caught, they're going to take me back. these two guys obviously don't want to get caught. >> in your experience do people usually stay together as long as they can? or do they try to separate?
8:28 pm
>> well, the not so smart guys usually separate. they go their own way. and then, it creates a whole bunch of chaos. i remember when "america's most wanted," caught the texas seven. planned the escape for over a year. these guys planned for a long time. everybody thought they were going to go south from texas into mexico. i thought they were going to go north. they did. they went up, got all the way to colorado. and they were hiding in a trailer park, posing as a christian bible group. a traveling singing group. it was a wonderful fan who made the call and said, these guys are in a trailer. so these two guys are smart. and matt is the older guy, the, the sociopath, psycho in this group, has been in the criminal justice system a long type. he killed someone in mexico. he has done lots of crimes. he, he knows that if they keep a low profile, the two of them together could probably wait it out. they're probably thinking, you know what. we will stay low. in two weeks, ten days we will
8:29 pm
make our run to the border. or until they can get ahold of somebody to pick them up. awe has increased use of technology made it harder or easier for fugitives to disappear. you can buy prepaid phones. anonymously on the internet. same time their records, things are digitals. sales receipts, phone logs, computerized and more searchable. >> internet and digital world has actually made it easier for police. easier for them to communicate. easier to ping cell phones. whether they're burner phones or whether they're phones that they stole from somebody. hope they're dumb enough to steal a phone from somebody. they will be able to ping the phone and catch them. but the technology is more on law enforcement's side. makes the search easier. i've been on your show a million times and say if you are helping the guys you know if you get caught you are going to spend five years in jail. you will be an accessory. a $100,000 reward. maybe they're dealing with other dirt bags or people they've been in prison with.
8:30 pm
the money is an incentive. they could call 1-866-the-hunt. turn the guys in. still get the reward. and remain anonymous. so the public is going to break the case wide open i really believe so. >> how much of an appeal is trying to cross into canada being a fugitive. does it make a big difference? canadian authorities have a lot of contact with u.s. authorities. a lot of cooperation. does it pay for a fugitive to try to cross over into canada? >> it actually does pace to cross over into canada. i caught 25 guys in canada on the 25 years i did america's most wanted, law enforcement is stretched thin in canada. there are great places to run to. i caught a guy on thunder bay, a town up near the arctic circle. so it might be to their advantage to get into canada. because there is less law enforcement, and, in all honesty if they stay out there a couple weeks the search will be called
8:31 pm
off. using a lot of money and resources. and if they're lucky enough to stay out a few week, stay in canada for years. >> more important, people out there, civilian who may have seen something, even if they're not sure they saw something, all the more important that they call in to try to at least let law enforcement know what they have seen? >> it is so important. andersen. so important. i remember we caught a prison escapee that was out there for three week. he made the mistake of turning a right on in a summer home, in a camp. neighbors that were getting their camp ready for summer vacation spotted that light go on and made that call. i say to people no matter inconsequential what you see, you think it is inconsequential. could be the guys making a mistake. make the call. make the call. have the courage to do it. >> john walsh. great to have you on. thank you. >> thank you, andersen. >> make that call. size of the area notwithstanding though the search continues to be sharply focused. we have said on a much smaller
8:32 pm
piece of real estate, the spot where police dogs picked up the fugitives' scent. the da told me the dogs are working the scent trail. does the fact that the dogs were able to detect anything at all say anything abut when the two men were at that site? put it another way -- how fresh does a trail have to be for dogs like these to pick it up. we wanted to know. gary tuchman has been digging deeper. >> reporter: this is dekalb county georgia police officer, lynn asherman, and andor, and her dog, and frank cuzimano, and jengo. both are belgian dogs, like bloodhound they catch fugitives with their sense of smell. >> their sense of smell is extraordinary, 1,000, 10,000 times better than humans. >> like bloodhound they use their teeth to apprehend. we'll test andor using my scent. when dogs train, they use toys like this. the reward when they find it in lieu of a real person. i will go into the woods right now and hide it. we need an origin point where the dogs' officer will tell the dog i was last seen. therefore, the dog's last sniff should come from. right from the tree. i will start from. the dog will start there. and then it will go to my hiding point. which will be, let's say -- right by this log.
8:33 pm
hiding the, hiding it right there. >> and then, officer eschelman goes into the woods with andor. when it is wet or when time elapsed, it's not as easy for these amazing animals. but is dry and i was just in the wood. if it were a real criminal. >> the felon will be pouring out fear scent and much more skin and fear scent coming out. be able to narrow it to one guy. >> andor is having an easy time with it. >> you got it. good boy, good boy, you got it. >> reporter: next. sergeant thomas davoy putting on so-called bite sleeves. about to become the bad guy for this drill. >> stop or i'll send my dog. >> stay, still. slowly come to my voice. slowly walk towards me. >> we want to, if need be, stop the dog if the guy gives up. we want to be able to stop the dogs. >> reporter: the dog stops as
8:34 pm
commanded. if the felon is threatening. >> slowly come to my voice. slowly walk towards me. keep your hand where i can see them. >> that's a good boy. >> let me see your hand. good boy. >> let me see your hands! >> the dog is going to pro tkt -- protect me and a handler, so he apprehended him. >> the dogs work with their handlers. >> he will be your pet forever? >> yep. >> i couldn't let go of the dog now. he will be fine forever for sure. >> gary mentioned how the rain could affect the searches? how big a problem is that? >> the rain is a serious issue with the dogs. not as serious if the fugitive as just escaped and the track
8:35 pm
and scents are fresh. as the days go by it certainly becomes problem attic. also problematic, anderson, it is very windy. the wind blows the scents and could throw the dogs off. people ask about the dogs. how friendly they are. the sergeant. this is jengo. they're friendly dogs. not look you come up to a police dog and hug it. you ask permission to pet the dog. and then jengo as friendly as can be. has a toy in his mouth. very friendly dogs. a public service announcement. do not come up to a police dog and wrap your arms around him or her. that wouldn't necessarily be smart. >> sounded like the officer
8:36 pm
wasn't speaking to the dog, was it german? >> it is german. >> anderson asked, you weren't speaking english? it is german. one of the word, one is go, and another is, jengo lay down. >> cool, gary. appreciate it. thank you very much. thank the officer for us and his dog. coming up, more breaking news. a judge find probable cause to charge the officers involved in the fatal shooting of 12-year-old tamir rice in cleveland. that does not necessarily mean charges will be filed. we'll explain next. >> disturbing new details about a murder of a couple, son, and housekeeper in washington, d.c. what we now know about how they died. savopoulos. what do you think? when i first sit in the seat it makes me think of a bmw. i feel like i'm in a lexus. you would think that this was a brand new audi. it's like a luxury car. feels kind of like an infinity. very similar to a range rover. this is pretty high tech. yeah it is. it reminds me of a mercedes. ♪

8:41 pm
a pellet gun. the two officers responded didn't know that. within second of arriving one of them opened fire and shot tamir rice who died a day later. today's decisions a day after activists tired of waiting brought their case to a judge. the question is where the case goes now? the answer may surprise you. martin savage joins us from cleveland. in this ruling, what did the judge exactly say? >> keep in mind this is a municipal judge, the cuyahoga county prosecutor looking into the case. the judge after the activists came, he said, yeah he thought there was probable cause in his opinion that a murder charge should be brought against timothy lohman, the officer that fired the fatal shot, and other charges against the partner with him at the time.
8:42 pm
it is a nonbinding ruling. no compelling reason the authorities have to arrest the officers which is actually what activists wanted to see. they wanted to get arrest warrants out for the officers. the judge says, look, there is cause for these charges. but he would not issue an arrest warrant. he said he didn't have that power. it's back in the hands of the county prosecutor. >> and you talked to the prosecutor's office about this. does it change anything, the prosecutor? in their mind, no. the county prosecutor in the case says this does not change anything.
8:43 pm
he has always said any police shooting case in which there is a fatality he will take it to a grand jury. he said that when he was elected. he continue to say that now. that's what he is doing. he says this case will go to a grand jury and only a grand jury will decide if these officers are charged or not. >> and when the ministers and attorney for the rice family want few this judge, came up with the kind of unique idea, the police union, they put out a blistering statement. they were critical. very angry about this. >> they have. for a number of reasons. of course they took the side of the officers. they say this is a just fivable shoot. the officers were told man with a gun. when they got there what did they find a person with a gun. they did not know it was a child. and they did not know it was not a real gun. however, they also say, look, the only reason that these people went to a judge, they say swore an oath that they had evidence this was a murder. yet none of those people who
8:44 pm

clinton. covers a lot of ground and donations made to the clinton foundation when hillary clinton was secretary of state. i want to address a couple issues having to do with the clinton foundation in the news a lot lately. i know you have said, heard you say, that there is no evidence that any of the donor whose have given to the foundation received anything in response from the state department while secretary clinton was there. >> nobody even suggested or it or talked about it or thought about it until the political season began. somebody well, what about this? now some of the companies that have supported the foundation for years many of them before she was ever secretary of state, she was a senator when i left office, so, they do this, they do philanthropy too. no one has ever asked me for anything or any of that. >> well let me ask you about
8:52 pm
that. because i think a lot of people might say, okay, you say there is no evidence that anything was done for them. can you really say that these companies, these wealthy individuals, these governments, none of them sought anything? i mean some of them did have business before the state department? >> i don't know. you never know what people's motives are. in this case, i'm pretty sure that everybody gave to haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake, saw what they saw on television were horrified. >> you say you don't know if anybody saw any favor. just there was no. >> no, i don't think him ear would know either. she was pretty busy those years. and i don't, i never saw her study a list of my contributors, or, and i had no idea who was doing business before the state department, what i will say this -- she believed that part of the job of the secretary of state was to advance america's economic interests around the world. if she hadn't been doing this economic diplomacy work nobody would have been doing it. but i never thought about, of any overlap. >> jake, the former president very clearly brushing aside any allegations concerning the family foundation? >> yeah, i don't know if brushing aside was the right word. he was really eager to talk about it. when i broached the subject he
8:53 pm
kind of looked down. he wasn't excited about talking about it. but then he would bring up instances, whether it was questions about the donation given by algeria, or whether it was questions about donations given by boeing, or questions about, donation that the clinton foundation gave to "the new york times" neediest cases fund in '07-'08, in which some people have question whether that influenced the board. i was trying to keep my questions general about quid pro quo. he went right for the ones that he thought would prove his point there was nothing nefarious going on. >> how did bill clinton seem to you? energetic? did he seem interested in the campaign ready for a fight? how did he seem? >> he seemed in fighting shape. boy was he ready to talk
8:54 pm
politics. before the interview and after the interview. regrettably when the microphone was not on him. he was talking all about politics. he loves it. he loves talking about it. it is going to tough for the clinton campaign to keep him from talking politics. and andersen, i asked him one question, this will air sunday on "state of the union. "i asked him, before we go size up the republican field, if you would, tell us what you think? he talked for ten minutes. ten minutes. >> i look forward to seeing that sunday. congratulations on the new show. great addition to cnn. jake tapper. >> talked a lot more, jake said. don't miss "state of the union" jake tapper, sunday, 9:00 a.m. and noon as well. moments ago, late development in the new york manhunt. something we just uncovered. we'll check back with randi kaye next. dear stranger, when i booked this trip, my friends said i was crazy. why would i stay in someone else's house?

>> reporter: anderson i just spoke to the district attorney, andrew wiley here. he said it happened at the maple fields gas station and subway shop which is just about one mile down the road from the prison hearing. in fact, it's just .9 miles away. he didn't say when they picked up the scent, but that's how they ended up in caiteyville. a couple things to point out here. i asked him about security cameras. he said they are security camera cameras cameras, they are limited and he's reviewing the tape. i asked him what they were doing there. were they looking for food or snacks? he said they were probably going through the trash, they were probably hungry. . and that's what they were doing there. he said it would have been open at that time. the store hours, they open at 4:00 a.m. on saturday morning and close at mid night on saturday night. these guys were last seen in their cell at 10:30 p.m. friday night.
