ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – Federal authorities say two men who escaped from a private Arizona prison and a woman thought to have helped them are believed to be in the area around Yellowstone National Park.
The U.S. Marshals Service says information has developed within the past two days that indicate Tracy Province, John McCluskey and Casslyn Welch may be hiding in portions of the park that span Montana and Wyoming.
Authorities say it’s now believed that Province has separated from McCluskey and Welch.
The manhunt for the three intensified after forensic evidence linked at least one of the inmates to the killings of an Oklahoma couple who was traveling through eastern New Mexico earlier this week.
New Mexico State Police spokesman Peter Olson calls the search “an urgent situation” given the double-homicide in New Mexico.
