husband, lyle mitchell had some role in the escape plot or if he was any way aware of the plan. mr. mitchell works in the maintenance department. the district attorney says mrs. mitchell already admitted to providing the convicts with tools. the d.a. would not elaborate on what those tools were but other law enforcement tells cnn that she gave them drill bits, glasses with mounted lights and hacksaws. fugitive rich art matt is intimately familiar with that piece of hardware. he used a hacksaw to dismember his boss after beating him to death. right now sources say they believe the pair of convicted murderers are still together. miguel marquez will have the latest on the investigation. let's tar with randi kaye. you just -- a source telling you she had a, quote, relationship with both fugitives. what does that mean? >> reporter: well we asked the

source about that and we were told that it was a relationship. the source would not go into too many details except to say that it was unclear -- these are the source's words -- unclear which one joyce mitchell favored. that was his exact words. we're not sure what type of relationship it was, but from the look i got, certainly an interesting relationship jake. i can also tell you -- oh, yes? >> no, go ahead. >> reporter: one of the things -- there's been a lot of questions about when her family knew she was involved in these men or may have been providing thinks tools that you mentioned, so today we had a chance to talk with the district attorney here in clinton county andrew wiley. i skid him directly is there any chance that maybe something in her family was aware of this, in particular her husband, lyle mitchell. this is what he told me. do you know anything about whether joyce mitchell's husband

lyle was also involved? >> we have information that's coming through through interviews that he possibly could have been involved or at least had knowledge of what was happening. >> reporter: any idea what his role might have been? >> we have information on what part of his role would be i hate to keep saying this to everyone but this is an investigation obviously not only taking them back into custody, but pursuing other people that were involved. >> reporter: it's unclear if lyle mitchell has been interviewed by authorities as he wife has, but he works at this prison in maintenance. not only did she work here at the prison but he works in the very same tailoring block that his wife worked with where she got to know so well the two escapees richard matt and david sweat. >> curiouser and curiouser.

thank you very much randi. miguel marquez is also there. tell us more on this lead from the gas station. >> reporter: it's not clear how it will play into the searching, but a search just west of where we are is still going on at 110% very, very intense searching, periods of great interest by everybody in this community, incredibly focused on what is happening there. shr everybody just wanting the nightmare to end. tonight the search cyror in for killers richard matt and david sweat, who officials believe are still traveling together after he escaped outside a new york maximum maximum-security prison. a gas station may hold new clues in the search. investigators are looking at surveillance video from a gas station about a mile away from the prison where tracking dogs picked up the scents of.

there's a sandwich shop attached to it. that's where authorities believe the fugitives may have been rimaging through the trash for food. >> it's my understanding the dogs were still working the scent last night, and we're going to continue to pursue that today. >> shortly after nightfall wednesday, an officer saw one enters the wood a tactical search team discovered human tracks and scent dogs were brought in leading investigators to the area where the two men apparently bedded down. the wrappers found at the scene are consistent with food wrappers from the prison commissary. retired u.s. marshal matthew fogg says as the search enters the seventh day, the key -- tighten the area where the fugitives may be hiding. >> we're going to shop and slowly but surely taking our resources, moving in on that particular point so we're pulling in every angle we with close off, every angle around

this line here. >> reporter: tonight communities on edge as neighborhoods go on lockdown police continue to hold their perimeter going door to door searching for the murderers, some residents haven't left their homes in days. >> don't approach these people they're desperate, they're dangerous. again one's a convicted cop killer. the other one, you know committed multiple murders. >> we are render more will the role that joyce mitching a prison employee played in the escape of the two convicts. according to officials. mitchell supplied the killers with equipment and tools, including hacksaw blades drill bits and lighted eyeglasses. these were all purchased over the last few months. an official says mitchell's husband lyle is also being looked at and could have been involved or at least had knowledge of his escape plan. now, i can tell you that search is still going on in the area where it has for the last at least 48 hours or so the area near bucks corner road and

highway 3, just in the northeastern edge of the adirondacks park. a very intense periods of helicopters, lots and lots of individuals. it must be look like an army in there at certain points. 800 law enforcement officers nod involved and they say they will keep going until they are found. >> those are live pictures coming in. let's bring in the director of the u.s. marshal's service thank you so much for being here. your marshals are in the thick of this hunt right now. i know you can't talk specifically about the details, the operational details, so let me ask you some broad questions. these two fugitives have been missing for almost seven days. most fugitives in new york are caught within the first two 24 hours. what differentiates those who are able to evade capture for more than a day or so. are they smarter? do they have more connections on the outside? what makes them different? >> each one of these are unique

i think the troopers are doing a phenomenal job with this. you know when you think, you know, speed is everything but i can tell you one thing, i'm confident it's just a matter of time. when you bring all your assets to bear if centers these individuals will be captured. sometimes it's a gee or graphical location whether it's more urban or wooded. >> is it easier to einvestigate if it's more urban or more wooded? >> i think it's a factor. i don't know it's an absolute but i certainly say anytime you get into a more dense area you bring more assets in and start to work on that. so i think the wooded can be different on one set of circumstances because of the depth and the scope of it on the same hand usual is not goes to individuals, they may have more contacts more ability for individuals to hide them. >> law enforcement officials say they believe these two fugitives are still together. first of all, does that surprise

you? second of all, does that make it ease why are our testifier to catch them? >> you know i don't want to speaking to this one in particular but in general they both stay together sometimes because it's that support system. other times we find they split up. i don't think it surprises me that they're together. >> it would seem to me having them together would make it easier to spot them because you have two men, but at the same time maybe if they take shifts in sleeping it makes it tougher, it seems like it could be a wash. >> and sometimes there's more than two, sometimes it's general, but in general everything has up and down side. >> why would they stay together? is it just out of comfort? because they're in this together? have they bonded? or is it like more practical, they need the other person aware and on guard while they sleep? >> yen i don't think there's a set method. it's so individual on each criminal. each one may feel that support

system may feel there's two people thinking at it three people thinking at it. the other guy may split off to actually break out of the jail. >> speaking broadly, not about this case how often, when there is a prison break is it only because somebody helped them? somebody who worked on the inside and got them some power tools or whatever? is it ever just two guys without any help are able to escape? >> absolutely. there's times they have no assistance. a lot of times they are just opportunists. they will risk it all, just the nature of their criminal behavior usually has a personality trait to that. we in the marshal's service handles hundreds of thousands of prisoners every year. i think that's what makes you good at chasing fugitives. >> are they usually in a basement in hiding in a treehouse? >> you know it's a mix.

sometimes there are people that harbor them and sometimes -- you will be surprised what they will put themselves be hind. i have found them behind hideaway bed, sometimes in ductwork sometimes in the woods. i think it's where they can get to and be unseen. >> how many times do they change their appearance? >> you would be surprised, not as much as you think, not as much as glamourized on tv sometimes. a lot of times, the big thing is to get out prison garb. thank you so much. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. fugitives who break out of the prison generally do not do it without help. but sometimes they do have help. so why are workers on the inside when this happens sometimes tempt to do support hardened criminals? it happens more obvious than you might think. that story is next.

and she would hardly be the first prison worker to develop such a bond with inmates. cnn's tom foreman joins me now. we have seen similar bizarre relationships between convicts and prison workers. >> can you keep the guards from forming certainly simple relationships? and this country where 93% of the inmates are men, that often means men. it is baltimore city jails in 2015 officials had never seen anything like it a vast scheme to smuggle in cell phones marijuana, prescription drugs and more all under the heavy hand of the black guerrilla family or ggf gang. >> this allowed them to run their criminal interperu win the jails and on the streets of baltimore. >> reporter: investigators say 13 female corrections officers

>>f. >> and i've heard her mention that name many times. >> after she left the job, authorities say she returned and ran off with ford and another inmate. all at least were captured. >> my daughter she is gullible. when somebody has 24 hours a day to think of all the charming things in the world to say, they might charm me. you know it's possible. >> then the jailbreak in brazil earlier this year two women dressed in erotic lingerie seduced a pair of guards with spiked whiskey. they broke up in handcuffs, to find the women had slipped away and so had 26 prisoners. >> of course they had extra cell space, because then they arrested -- >> that is a lot of people buys a lot of nonsense. >> tom foreman thank you so much. we have breaking news off a local tv station.

wptz says the clinton cow sheriff says the officers may arrest joyce mitchell in the next few hours. chris mohati a forensic psychologist maybe can give us some insight. you say that mitchell's husband possibly involved makes this very unusual. explain. >> it will be very unusual for the husband to be involved because the simplest explanation as we've seen from the other cases you just showcased is a situation where a person's -- a person is vulnerable they're naive, needy, maybe not getting what they want at home they guys will focus that attention, that 24 hour a day attention on employeding that vulnerability. they are adept at spotting weakness. >> that can work on this woman perhaps who may have needs to feel important, to feel special. maybi easily recognize away.

it's another thing altogether to bring her husband into this conspiracy in a more active way, and if that is the case and we don't know that yet -- that would point towards something different altogether or maybe on top of it. maybe a greed mode. what do we see in these situations where they be tray the organization that employ them. it's greed, it's excitement it's a personal relationship or some sort of anger at the relationship. i think it would be very unusual if the husband was wholeheartedly in it. >> at the times when it is a motivation because of the a personal relationship and love or the delusion of love. is there a specific personality type of these prison workers that makes them particularly susceptible to this advance from prisoners? or is it just people who are vulnerable and lonely?

>> i think vulnerable and can be a part of it loe self-esteem. one of the people that just spoke talked about being gullible or nighaive. on top of that people at different points in theirs lives may be going through a life transition. maybe, you know their husband has left them their wife has left them. it's left that person in a much more needy state of mind that the prisoner hones in on and takes advantage of. >> so it can be a long-term characteristic exploited, or a recent change that has left them more needy han usual. kris mohadie, thank you. a defeat for president obama, as his fellow democrats destroy his trade bill. one democratic member tells mu that the last trip to the hill actually hurt the bill.

she said nothing about it. >> well but what you just read that was from 2012. we are now in 2015 and this piece -- this deal has gone back and forth between the house and the senate and then sounds like we're going to go back and forth again. they have -- any trade deal has to meet those two tests, and she has vote fold trade agreement that she thought were good and were bad. she really believes what is important from a policy perspective, not the political conversation she believes the final language is what's important. we can talk about currency manipulation but how do we get there? >> but karen, i am talking about policy. democrats in the house and gnat have now vote odd this. this is an issue that every single democrat who has announced they're running for

the presidency has taken a position on except for the one who helped push it and maybe -- did she even help write it? i believe she helped write it. >> i can't speak to that because i wasn't at the state department but i just go back to the bigger picture. that is what she's been focused on. i hear what you're saying she and, you know you played her own words. this is how she's late out on this issue. what is the final language? obama says it does. pelosi says it doesn't. >> do you think we're at final language? >> contain, isn't this exactly what people hate about politicians? that they won't take a position as soon as they do they're so fearful of what the response

listen? this administration supports this trade bill. okay. just -- what i don't understand is why you won't say we oppose it now. we don't support it anymore? >> i hear you. again my point is when she has talked to voters what they have wanted to talk to her about is the economy and jobs and college affordable -- >> this is about the economy and jobs. this is the little swit aradio that people switch-aroo. i'm asking about a trade deal. >> i didn't say you were saying that. my point is she has made it very clear where she is broughtly on this deal. i don't think we're at the final language. >> generally speaking she supports it. >> generally speaking any trade deal has to meet her test and that's where she's at. >> i can see i'm getting nowhere. critics are already starting to criticize on the contents of the

speech. what do you think hillary clinton needs to do tomorrow to satisfy voters and get the nomination? >> well let me tell you what she's going to do i think it will please voters greatly. she's going to talk in park about her vision and her agenda and where shall sees the country now and where she thinks we need to go, and she's going to talk about it from a personal perspective. that is the influence of the impact of her mother's own experiences had on her and influencing her and sort of where she comes from and the importance of -- it started with the idea that children need something to be their champion, to be an advocate. her mother had a horrible childhood. you're going to hear about how her values were impacted by these different influences and how that feeds into where she believes we need to go as a
