| New York state police were investigating Saturday possible sightings of two killers who escaped a maximum-security jail two weeks ago in an elaborate prison break that was likened to a Hollywood movie.
Police said they were expanding the hunt, which appeared to be closing on Richard Matt, 49, and David Sweat, 35, who have been described as dangerous and told the public not to approach them.
The first possible sighting of the duo was in Steuben County, about 300 miles (480 kilometers) south of the prison they escaped from, sparking a huge search involving police, the FBI, dogs and aircraft.

"David Sweat and Richard Matt escaped June 6th and are still on the run. Troopers and investigators are searching the area of a construction site in the town of Erwin."
Police were also investigating a possible sighting in tiny Friendship, in a rural area about an hour from the city of Buffalo, also New York state, WIVB television reported.
