Federal marshals are searching Yellowstone National Park for two violent criminals who escaped July 30 from an Arizona prison and allegedly went on a multistate crime spree that police said includes kidnapping, hijacking and murder.

Tracy Alan Province, 42, sentenced to life in prison in 1994 for robbing and killing a laundromat owner — stabbing the vicitm at least 48 times — and John Charles McCluskey, serving 15 years for attempted murder, are thought to be somewhere in the popular summer vacation spot with alleged accomplice Casslyn Welch, 43, said Thomas Henman, supervisory deputy U.S. marshal.

Yellowstone Park encompasses 3,472 square miles in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. Nearly 958,000 people visited Yellowstone last month, the National Park Service said.

Police in New Mexico have forensic evidence linking McCluskey, Province and Welch to the murders of a husband and wife at a campground in Santa Rosa, N.M., Henman said. Police found the remains of Linda and Gary Haas, both 61, of Tecumseh, Okla., who had been traveling on their annual camping vacation, inside their burned-out camper Wednesday. That afternoon, police found the couple's truck 120 miles away in Albuquerque.
