Yeah, I think it's the only verified lead authorities have had in weeks, and DNA is definitely more solid than an eye-witness account.
Seems likely that when Joyce Mitchell didn't show up to drive the get-away car and their pictures flooded the media, Matt and Sweat couldn't get too far and their plan was screwed. I think they probably will be found within 50 miles of the prison.
In addition to Mitchell, ^ Gene Palmer is a prison worker under suspicion. He is a 28 year veteran of the corrections department and was responsible for escorting prisoners. He's hasn't been charged with anything, but he's been put on leave as a result of the investigation and his lawyer says he's cooperating fully. Friends say he knew Matt and Sweat and that Matt had gifted him a painting, but they don't believe Palmer would have intentionally helped the convicts escape. We'll see.
