Investigators focused on a gas station in the search for two inmates who escaped from an upstate New York prison, as the manhunt for the convicted murderers entered a seventh day.

The search for David Sweat and Richard Matt intensified after bloodhounds picked up a strong scent at a Mobil gas station in Dannemora, with the scent followed east to Cadyville, Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said.

The Mobil gas station also has a Subway restaurant, and Wylie said there's a chance the inmates were rummaging for food.

State Route 374 remains closed east of Dannemora, and the nearby Saranac Central School District is closed for a second consecutive day.
