The two Nevada prison inmates who overpowered officers and escaped Saturday while being transported in California remained on the loose this morning and it was unclear whether they are headed to the Las Vegas area, officials said.
Nevada prison spokesman Glen Whorton said a search was under way for convicted murderer James Prestridge, 39, and convicted robber John Doran, 26, who escaped after a 5:30 a.m. rest stop in Chula Vista.
"They're considered to be dangerous, but there are conflicting reports as to whether they're armed," Whorton said.
