Nationwide Manhunt for Escaped Inmate Burham Sparks Fear and Calls for Jail Repairs

Authorities are aggressively searching for escaped Pennsylvania inmate Michael Charles Burham, a murder suspect, who fled from a jail last week. While law enforcement officials believe he is still in the general area, they are urging people nationwide to be on the lookout. Helicopters, drones, and infrared technology are being used to search the thickly forested Allegheny National Forest. Burham, who has a military background and survivalist skills, is suspected in a murder case and kidnapping. Authorities have located campsites and supplies in the forest and believe he may be receiving assistance. The reward for information leading to his capture has been raised to $19,500.
