2 Indiana prison escapees elude searchers

(CNN) -- Two of three inmates who escaped from the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City remained at large Tuesday as law enforcement officers sought leads to their possible whereabouts, a spokesman for the Indiana Department of Correction said.

"Right now, there's no sightings. We're just trying to talk with people that we know they know, trying to develop leads as to where these guys may be going," Douglas Garrison said about the status of the search.

"We have a lot of law enforcement up in that area and a lot of technical assets," he added, declining to describe the latter. The men are known to have relatives in Indiana, Garrison said.

The third fugitive, Charles Smith, 48, who was serving time on a murder charge, was captured Monday in Grand Beach, Michigan, near the Michigan vacation home of Richard Daley, the mayor of Chicago, Illinois.

Grand Beach is in southwestern Michigan, about eight miles from the maximum-security prison in Indiana. The men escaped Sunday.

Daley told reporters he was inside with his wife and three grandchildren at the time of the capture.

A Chicago police officer assigned to Daley's security detail spotted Smith and a man who may have been another escapee walking near the house at 5:30 a.m., the mayor said. Smith was captured and handed over to the Grand Beach Police Department; the other man escaped into the woods.
