A suspected murderer with “survivalist skills” has broken out of a Pennsylvania jail by climbing on exercise equipment and is now the subject of a multi-state manhunt.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Michael Burnham escaped from a jail in Warren, near a huge forest, overnight on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The public has been told to be vigilant and report suspicious people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He was last seen wearing an orange-and-white striped jumpsuit, croc shoes and a jail-issued blue denim jacket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Officials say the jail noticed he was missing on Friday morning, and that he managed to escape by climbing the equipment and exiting through a metal roof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He then used bed sheets that he tied together to lower himself off the roof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“We have no indication that he’s being assisted by anyone at this point, but he is familiar [with] the area and\u2026 he is a survivalist and has survivalist skills,” said Warren County spokeswoman Cecile Stelter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The jail is located around 18 miles (28km) from Jamestown, New York, near the Pennsylvania border and is near the Allegheny National Forest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The size of the forest is approximately 515,000 acres, according to the US Department of Agriculture, which oversees US national forests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Extensive searches of the area are still being conducted and a thorough investigation is ongoing,” police said in a Facebook post on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They added that dogs, drones, aircrafts and all-terrain vehicles are being used in the search.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Residents have been told to lock their doors, stay inside, and not to make contact with the suspect if they see him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“He is considered dangerous by his past actions and the public is asked not to approach him, but if they see anything unusual to call 911,” Ms Stelter said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Burham, 34, was being held on arson and burglary charges and was considered a suspect in the murder of a local woman. He has also been charged with rape, unlawful imprisonment, and multiple other charges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In May, he was arrested in South Carolina after a four-day manhunt. He was taken into custody after two people called the FBI saying he had kidnapped them and drove them to the city of North Charleston from Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
