Federal authorities say two men who escaped from a private Arizona prison and a woman thought to have helped them are believed to be in the area around Yellowstone National Park.
The U.S. Marshals Service told Fox News on Sunday that Tracy Province, John McCluskey and Casslyn Welch may be hiding in portions of the park that span Montana and Wyoming.
Authorities say it's now believed that Province has separated from McCluskey and Welch.
The manhunt for the three intensified after forensic evidence linked at least one of the inmates to the killings of an Oklahoma couple who was traveling through eastern New Mexico earlier this week.

Ah, the tourists will be able to do a little hunting.
Or the grizzlies.
I’ve been there once. The guys have good taste.
I'm gonna take a real wild guess and say that "private" prison is an illegal immigrant holding prison...aka...a nice hotel with a maid!!
The good guys have 6 more days to find these lowlifes, because that is we head to Yellowstone as part of our vacation camping trip, armed.
Not too far from me and thee.......keep your doors locked and your gun loaded.
I think Arizona has privatized it’s prisons, meaning the state pays a private company to do the incarceration rather than the state doing it. The guys who escaped are white and convicted of murder/attempted murder in addition to other charges. They appear to be some really nasty guys.
These scum will probably attack and rob some campers and the bears will get blamed!
These guys seem to be hitting a lot of the spots we have planned for a vacation in the next few weeks.
Other article say “Az State Prison in Golden Valley,AZ.” A medium custody STATE prison. Now some news sources reporting as “private prison.”
Someones butt is in a sling for this regardless!
The guy on the left has been caught.
GAK! Make that the guy on the RIGHT has been caught.
these guys have managed to corners themselves nicely. Four entrances to the park and one loop road. They don’t look like the type to have wilderness skills, so if they try to escape into the backcountry they’ll stand out like a sore thumb and won’t get far in any event. With any luck they’ll get mauled by a bear or trampled by a buffalo.
The murdered couple from Oklahoma BOTH had conceal-carry permits. Don’t get cocky. Be smart.
Headed there in September.. hope they catch them before then.
Exposure would be more fitting.
I was born cocky. LOL
But, when it comes to self defense, I’m smarter than a good many folks.
Situational awareness and surviving is my bag, but I do recognize that regardless of how prepared one might be, there remains the X factor.
