we have to start from zero point zero which was the dannemora prison and we expanded. it's based on information that we obtained you know throughout the -- or during the initial stages of the investigation. we have to exhaust that. as i said there is no hard evidence that they are outside the area. that being said i cannot rule that out, but we're going under the -- what i think is the logical belief they can be anywhere. we're not going to rule this area out until we have identified a location that they're at and verified that. >> so no hunch right now as to where they are? >> i don't operate based on hunches. we operate based on evidence and that's what we're looking for. >> are law enforcement looking at surveillance video, a tip that came in yesterday, of five men in a red van at a convenience store? >> we are looking at surveillance video. i can tell you this. there is no technique or law enforcement tool that is not being used by the state police or by our federal agencies. any avenue that needs to be pursued will be pursued. we're doing it in a joint and coordin

dannemora was -- had the reputation of the toughest prison in the system. so it was no country club. >> let's bring in cnn correspondent jean casarez. >> reporter: pamela, we watched correction officers report for work today at the prison behind me just like it's a normal day. but law enforcement officials have confirmed with cnn that the fbi have launched an investigation inside the prison to see if in fact there was drug trafficking. now, they are talking to employees. employees are saying that i know mates use -- inmates use heroin. where do they get that heroin and could employees be involved with any drug trafficking ring? we do know that employees are being asked if they are talking to employees and inmates about streets and locations outside the prison. because obviously to escape and get away and seemingly knew where they were going. we're also learning that the dna of sweat and matt was found deep in the tunnels underneath the prison where inmates cannot have access to. so the question is if there is a drug trafficking issue, could matt and sweat h

after surrounding a home today near the town of dannemora there's an active perimeter set up. there's a heavy police presence. a new police check point operating about 25 minutes north of the prison. that's near a high school and an elementary school. unclear, though why they chose that particular location. as for the escaped convicts they are presumed dangerous and here's why. david sweat shot a sheriff's deputy 22 times. richard matt kidnapped a former boss beat him and tossed him in the trunk of a car and drove around looking for a place to kill him and bury him and broke that man's neck dismembered his body an then dumping the remains into a river. matt's accomplice who testified against him and served for that crime told nbc news that he now fears the convict that he helped put away might be out for revenge and spoke to us on the phone with the identity hidden and voice distorted for his safety. >> there's no telling of what kind of revenge he may want to exact on people and in his mind. this is a very psychotic individual. and it's somebody that definitely has no regard
