Episodio 2: Escape from Dannemora<\/h3>

Wednesday, February 12, 2024 | 7:00 pm<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

On June 6, 2015, two worst-of-the-worst murderers escaped from the Clinton Correctional Institute; the subsequent manhunt was the largest in New York State History. The escapees, David Sweat and Richard Matt, coursed a twenty-minute labyrinth of corridors and tunnels until they emerged into freedom on the outside. Now they were killers on the loose, deadly and desperate. The story that unfolded was one of adventure and brutality and became the subject of a popular book and a Showtime limited series. This program will feature author Michael Benson with special guest Ivy Gocker, former Adirondack Experience Library Director who was also an extra in the Showtime production.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

Albany Public Library and The Adirondack Experience welcome author Tim Rowland who digs into the story of a 100-year-old unsolved Adirondack murder mystery. In 1924 two Lake Placid guides were hired by a local recreational association to cut a trail up Whiteface Mountain. It was a job from which they would never return. Hikers descending from the summit discovered the mutilated body of George Martin in the brush near the new trail, and his co-worker, Jesse Crowningshield, was later found riddled with bullets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
