While the Adirondaks are sparsely populated, they aren't uninhabitated, and this time of year, there are even more people in the woods. Then, with all the LEOs searching the area, there were even more people out in the woods. A drone would be too likely to pick up a wrong "target" for them to be effective in this search.My guess is you don't read up on new technology.
Linda,
If you would like I can find you more examples. There are examples where thermal imaging cameras detect the heat difference of buildings to their surroundings. If escapees were inside a cabin warming themselves up or cooking a thermal imaging camera could pick that up also. I"m not saying they were cooking or warming up I'm just giving more examples.
No law enforcement or civilians (as far as we know) were injured!!!
