Search continues for ‘very dangerous’ jail escapee; stockpiles, campsites found

WARREN, Pa. (AP) — Authorities searching for an inmate described by police as “very dangerous” who used bed sheets to escape from a northwestern Pennsylvania jail say they believe he is still in the area. Thirty-four-year-old Michael Burham fled the Warren jail late Thursday by climbing on exercise equipment and using bed sheets to escape through a window. He is a suspect in a homicide investigation and was being held on $1 million bail on kidnapping, burglary and other charges. State police say they have found “small stockpiles or campsites in wooded areas” near Warren and believe “at least some” may be associated with Burham.
