When contacted by LOOP PNG, one official said; “Yes. One of our officers is upstate now to verify. Our Washington DC guys coming tomorrow.”

The Daily Freeman reported the 57 yo woman died in a one-car crash into a rock embankment on the Taconic State Parkway.

This occured two days after his fellow inmate was killed in a confrontation with law enforcement officers.

Franklin County Sheriff Kevin Mulverhill said David Sweat was shot Sunday afternoon in the town of Constable, about 2 miles south of the Canadian border, and was taken to a hospital in Malone. 

Mulverhill said he had no information on Sweat's condition. Fellow inmate Richard Matt was killed in a confrontation with law enforcement officers Friday afternoon.

New York State Police released details of Richard Matt's autopsy on Sunday.

Officials say Matt also had bug bites on his legs, blisters and minor abrasions that would be expected for someone who had been living in the woods. Toxicology results are still pending.

Matt was shot and killed by a member of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Tactical Unit on Friday. He and another inmate escaped from a maximum-security prison near the Canadian border on June 6.

Hundreds of law enforcement personnel are still searching for David Sweat.

On the 23rd day of the search, state troopers with guns drawn searched a cabin in Malone and other officers carrying rifles manned checkpoints and examined vehicles, opening trunks and peering into windows in their hunt for David Sweat.

Franklin County Sheriff Kevin Mulverhill said tips continued to pour in and he was optimistic Sweat would be captured soon.

"It's going to be one of those phone calls that turns this case around," he said late Saturday.

Spurred on by fresh evidence, law enforcement officers methodically combed through heavy woods on Tuesday looking for inmates David Sweat and Richard Matt.

Authorities began committing heavy resources to the remote woods this week after leads from a hunting camp that was apparently broken into led to "good evidence, DNA data" regarding the inmates, said Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Roadblocks were in place Tuesday around the remote hamlets of Owls Head and Mountain View in an area of rugged terrain about 20 miles west of Clinton County Correctional Facility.
