408 tracking
Ma Hong and the others did not go directly down the route of the prisoner's escape, but made a half-circle from the side, from the normal maintenance passage to the first floor, from the hole here to the ground, and saw a wall that they had pierced here.
It's a red brick wall, which isn't very safe because the red bricks are fragile and the adhesive parts can be easily pulled out.
The hole in the wall is not big, Jimmy probe took a look, the other side of the hole is still a pipe, just a large pipe, judging from the current temperature underground, one of them must be a steam pipe, used for heating, and the other pipes should be sewage pipes and water purification pipes. The pierced sewer pipe that Warren Prison Director just said could also be seen, and there was a gap in it that was large enough for people to get into.
Because the sewage pipe is now in a broken state, the smell of this space is very unpleasant, that is, people who have escaped from prison can endure this disgusting smell.
Mahon picked up some broken bricks and looked at them, "Where did they get the tools?" They certainly couldn't have made these pieces with their bare hands, they had to be sledgehammers or steel bars or something like that to make small pieces like this. ”
Warren Prison Warden shook his head, "We have already checked in the morning, and no tools were found at the scene, they should have gone out with tools and did not stay." ”
Ma Hong looked at the hole in front of him at waist height, and stood next to him to simulate the action of smashing with a sledgehammer. There's enough space here to pick up sledgehammers or other heavy objects, but it will certainly take a lot of time to break through this wall, and the escape plan of these two people must have been prepared for a long time.
There were so many people on the ground that there were so many footprints on the ground that there was no way to tell which were the prisoners and which were the policemen who came in the morning.
Ma Hong also looked at the pipe on the opposite side through the hole, "Where did they get out of the pipe, did you find it?" ”
Warren Prison Director: "It has been found, more than a hundred meters away from the prison wall, the police have gone all out to track it down, and K9 has also been dispatched. ”
Mahon: "Let's go up and see their exit." ”
Outside the prison, the warden led them to a gas station, where the manhole cover was opened, "They came out of here, K9 chased for a while and lost the smell, about 200 meters ahead." ”
Ma Hong first looked at the manhole cover, then looked around, "Did the people at the gas station find anything?" ”
Warren Prison Warden shook his head: "This is their blind spot, if you don't come to the intersection, you can't see the situation here." We've confirmed that they didn't find anything out of the ordinary, that nothing was missing from the convenience store at the gas station, and that the two of them weren't visible on surveillance. That's all I know, the follow-up tracking is investigated by the police, and the information has not been synchronized with me. ”
Ma Hong: "I understand, take me to the last position of K9 tracking first." ”
Warden Warn: "It's just down the road ahead, there are no buildings, and there are wasteland woods and farmland on both sides of the road. ”
When I came to the scene, there was a white circle here, which should have been drawn by the police during the investigation in the morning, "This should be the last position confirmed by K9." ”
Ma Hong looked left and right, "Felicia, you immediately go to the police station to contact them, determine the clues they have obtained so far, and investigate the situation of the two prisoners from our system, their relatives, friends, and gang members, all of them are on the investigation list." I'll give you permission to check if they have received phone calls or text messages from last night until now, and read their phone records. ”
Felicia nodded, "I understand. ”
Mahon: "Also, ask them if they found any tools or clothes around here. ”
Felicia nodded again, and several people turned around and returned to the prison, Felicia drove to the police station, while Mahon stood in the parking lot, thinking about the direction of the investigation.
Jimmy looked at Warden Warren, "Warden Warden, please prepare a map for us, we must have a map of New York State and a map of the country, and it would be best if there was a map of the neighborhood." ”
Warden Valen nodded, looked at the guard who was accompanying them, the guard understood, turned and left the parking lot, and after a while, he returned with two maps, a map of New York State, the large one, hanging on the wall, and the other an atlas.
Jimmy took out a map of New York State and placed it on the hood to unfold, "Where are we located?" Precise. ”
The guard gave Jimmy some pointers, and Jimmy drew a triangle with a pen and began to survey the surrounding terrain and residential areas.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him at the scene, Warden Warren said hello to Ma Hong and returned to the prison.
Jimmy: "Mahon, the terrain here is problematic. ”
Mahon also came to look at the map, the prison is located northwest of Newburgh, and Newburgh is on the Hudson River, if you want to escape from the prison, there are many routes, east to the Hudson River, north to Canada, south to the forest, west to other urban areas, or directly all the way to Lake Ontario, this kind of place is really difficult to judge the direction of the suspect's escape.
Because there are a lot of forests nearby, and now that the suspects have left here in a car, it is really not easy to determine their location.
Ma Hong: "I'll look at the clues at the police station and then consider the direction of the investigation." ”
The biggest problem now is the direction in which the suspects are fleeing, New York State and Canada border, and once it is determined that the direction of their escape is in the direction of Canada, they must be considered to be notified.
Soon, Felicia's call hit Mahon's phone, he picked it up and opened it directly.
Mahon: "Felicia, how's it going?" ”
Felicia: "We have got their current progress, according to K9's scent location of the suspect, it is basically determined that the suspect left by car, because they are wearing prison clothes, and the temperature is still very low, so they should not have thrown them into the prison clothes after escaping, and there are no traces of their prison clothes or other things near the scene."
Now the police department is investigating the vehicles that appeared on this road last night, hoping to determine which vehicle they left in, and there is no result yet. ”
Ma Hong: "What about their family? ”
Felicia: "Unfortunately, neither of us is married, and there are no registered immediate family members in the system. But Rob Reilly has an uncle who currently lives in the Bronx, New York, and I have applied for an investigation against him. ”
Mahon: "The other Cameron Brown is a gang member, look into the people in his gang. ”
Felicia: "It's hard to know for sure, you may need to contact the local police department. ”
Ma Hong: "Then do it, get their contact information as soon as possible and start investigating." In addition, notify the police station, issue a global notification, and notify us immediately if there are relevant clues. ”
Felicia: "Understood. ”
Ma Hong hung up the phone, thought for a while, and dialed Hughes's phone again, "Hughes, I need to notify the state police and the surrounding police departments to coordinate the investigation, and at the same time check the personnel of the train stations, bus stations, and airports in the surrounding cities." ”
This time, Mahon didn't open it, so Jimmy couldn't hear what Hughes said on the other side, but according to Hughes's style, it should be left to Mahon to deal with it.
Ma Hong: "I'm not familiar with it here, it's better for you to contact it, and you may need to send some more people from the field office, if we find out the direction of their escape, it is not easy to track down the three of us alone." ”
Ma Hong: "Well, then I'll wait for your news." With that, he hung up the phone.
Jimmy picked up the map, pointed to the location near the prison and said, "Mahong, I think we need to expand the scope of the investigation, if they escaped at night, whether they hijacked a certain car, or they were taken away by well-wishers, the speed of driving will definitely not be slow, it has been half a day, they have probably left the nearby area." ”
Ma Hong nodded: "I understand, waiting for the news from Felicia's side, the local police are also investigating the vehicle information, and the most important thing now is to confirm the direction." ”
This kind of troublesome thing is really painful, and the biggest trouble in the prison escape incident is this, without any clues, it is difficult for anyone to deal with it.
Jimmy: "By the way, I forgot to tell Felicia just now, there is a fastest way to confirm the car, let her notify the police, directly investigate the owner's information, contact by phone, if you can't get in touch, immediately find the location of the missing owner, they are hijacked or killed by two suspects There is a high like." ”
Mahon was looking at the open space next to him in a daze, but after being reminded by Jimmy, he turned his head to look at him, and then took out his mobile phone and called Felicia and explained Jimmy's plan.
It's been almost a day, and it's likely that the search will continue to expand if we wait any longer. Ma Hong's phone rang, it should be Hughes, Ma Hong hung up the phone after a few words to him, "The surrounding cities have all received the news, and now the news and radio have sent out the information that the prisoner has escaped from prison, as long as there is an abnormality, you should be able to receive the news." ”
This time the matter is a bit big, there are actually not many prison escapes in the United States, but most of them occur in prisons below the state level, and the security level of prisons at the federal level is relatively guaranteed, and prison escapes are very rare. Moreover, most of the prison escapes are low-security levels, such as the current medium-security prisons, or other high-security and super prisons, with a large number of prison guards and relatively standardized internal management.
The internal management of the Federal Penitentiary is relatively strict in accordance with the norms of the Federal Penitentiary Service, and the internal management of prisoners and the treatment of complaints related to the content have corresponding channels, which are relatively clean. There aren't so many things going on in state and sub-state prisons, and it's light to say that there are many shady scenes.
Due to financial problems, various prisons have also seriously reduced the number of prison guards, and the maintenance of equipment is also arranged for money. For prisoners, if they want to do something, they only need to pay for it, which also creates a situation where gangs are prevalent in various prisons but no one cares about them.
Mahon and Jimmy waited in the parking lot for a while, but they couldn't wait any longer, so they drove directly to the police station to meet Felicia.
The progress of the dispatch center is not fast, because it is necessary to contact the owner to confirm, many cars are not driven by the owner, and they need to be confirmed again, so that it is almost time to get off work, and it has not yet been counted which cars have not been contacted.
"Agent Mahone, the dispatch center determined that a car was missing, it was a private car returning from New York's JFK Airport last night, and it was supposed to arrive home at 2 o'clock or 3 o'clock according to the plan. The family found out that he did not come back in the morning, and could not be contacted, and called the police at noon, and we investigated the car and compared it with the system records, and determined that it was this car. ”
Ma Hong immediately refreshed, "Take the car." ”
The police officer handed over an A4 piece of paper with vehicle information, owner information. Mahon continued to ask: "Has this car been found in other surveillance cameras in the future?" ”
Officer: "Not for the time being, we need to continue the investigation, because this is a relatively remote place, and we still have the surveillance video from a very far intersection on this road." ”
Ma Hong: "Let's continue the investigation. ”
Mahon looked at the information at hand, walked to the fax machine, and transmitted the information back to the Manhattan office. He then called Hughes and informed other departments from him to investigate the car and determine if it was present in their precinct.
This kind of is almost a needle in the bottom of the sea, in the final analysis, it is still a lack of monitoring, plus it happened in the early hours of the morning, and there are no witnesses at all. Jimmy listened to their conversation, and he also had a little headache, but fortunately there was a boss now, and he didn't need to find a clue to run around like before for the time being.
Mahon contacted Hughes to arrange an investigation of the surrounding cities, and now he can only wait here, this is not the time to go out to find someone, in case he goes in the opposite direction, and the delay will be even more.
In the evening, there was still no news, so the three of them could only find a hotel nearby to stay in first.
Early the next morning, before going to the police station, Ma Hong received a notice from the police that the missing car had been found, not far from the Hudson River.
Oh no, this location, if they actually crossed the Hudson River or went straight to the boat, it would be even harder to find.
Mahon immediately called Jimmy and Felicia to go to the car's location. When I arrived at the scene, this place had been cordoned off by the police, and the owner of the car was still on his body except for his underwear, and all the other clothes had been taken away, and the owner of the car was also killed, and there was an obvious crush wound on his neck, which should have been killed by someone pinching his neck and blocking the blood.
Another human life, the murderer who escaped from prison really has no scruples.
Mahon asked someone from the police station to come and get his fingerprints as soon as possible, and he put on his gloves and began to inspect the car. Nothing was found in the car, but a hammer and a saw blade were found in the trunk, the saw blade had been worn, the teeth in the middle part had been smoothed and polished to serrations, and the width had been reduced a lot, from the normal width of the front and rear to the shape of the width of the two ends and the middle depression.
】
This saw blade should be their tool to open the sewage pipe, and this hammer may be the hammer that smashes the wall. In addition, according to the owner's family, the owner should have brought a suitcase, and now there is no suitcase found in the car, which should have been taken away by the two people who escaped from prison.
Now that he was in trouble, Mahon asked Felicia to contact the police station to confirm with his family what was in his luggage, whether he had weapons, etc.
Mahon took Jimmy along the cart towards the Hudson River, observing slowly and trying to find traces on the ground. Their first choice would have been the Hudson River, otherwise they wouldn't have driven here.
