An accused murderer and two other California prisoners were still at large on Sunday after breaking out of the Orange County jail as a massive manhunt for the trio entered its third day, authorities said.
Hossein Nayeri, 37, Jonathan Tieu, 20, and Bac Duong, 43, escaped the jail in Orange County and were last seen early Friday morning, Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said in a statement on Sunday.
The trio cut through steel bars, climbed through a plumbing tunnel and used bedsheets to lower themselves down four stories before disappearing, the Orange County Register reported.
The daring jailbreak recalled the escape of two convicted murderers from a maximum-security prison in upstate New York last year.
