A prison escapee with 'survivalist skills' is the focus of a manhunt in Pennsylvania.
. He"elevated himself" onto a piece of exercise equipment and left the yard through a metal gated roof, said Cecile Stelter, a spokesperson for Warren County, at a Friday afternoon news conference. He then used bed sheets that he tied together to climb down to the ground.
Staff realized Burham was missing minutes after his escape, Stelter said, noting that he was under video surveillance while in the recreation area. "He is considered dangerous by his past actions," she said."And the public is asked not to approach him, but if they see anything unusual to call 911."Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police told reporters Sunday it is “entirely likely” that Burham is armed, and that people should not approach him if they see him.
