It's been SIX days and these guys have not been found. They literally tunneled out of prison to a manhole and haven't been seen since.

David Sweat (left) and Richard Matt escaped from prison Saturday and remain on the run.
The massive manhunt for New York’s two most wanted fugitives focused Thursday on a rural area just two miles from the prison where the pair escaped Saturday.
Bloodhounds reportedly picked up the scent of convicted murderers David Sweat and Richard Matt, while authorities found a spot where they believed the missing pair were “bedding down,” ABC News reported Thursday.
Several roads east of the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, N.Y., including Route 374, were shut down Thursday morning as a helicopter circled over a heavily wooded area within walking distance of the prison.
Escapee manhunt enters sixth day

More than 450 cops and K-9 teams on the ground searched for the elusive escapees. Gov. Cuomo announced a $100,000 bounty for the arrests of Sweat, 34, and Matt, 48.

Police surround Route 374 in Cadyville while investigating a lead on the escape of two inmates.
Local schools were closed for the day and residents were warned to lock their doors as the search intensified in its sixth day.
Robocalls made to area homes asked people to leave their outdoor lights turned on to help authorities hunting the convicts.
While authorities feared the pair had reached Vermont after their daring “Shawshank Redemption”-style escape, the Thursday morning manhunt indicated the duo didn’t make it too far.
But officials have yet to receive a confirmed report of a physical sighting of either man since the jail break. Authorities believe the fugitives had a head start of several hours before prison officials noticed their shocking absence.
The stretch of Route 374 was initially shut down about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday as authorities chased a lead on the two escapees, state police sources told the Daily News.
Sweat and Matt hatched an elaborate scheme to break out of the maximum security lockup near the Canadian border, using power tools authorities suspect were supplied to them by Joyce Mitchell, a worker at the prison, sources said.
