Pennsylvania State Police say that the doorbell video footage released by police Friday of escaped fugitive murder suspect Michael Charles Burham walking past a home turned out not to be him after further investigation.
“We can now also say with relative certainty that thanks to the public response to the aired video that the individual depicted was not Michael Burham,” PSP Lt. Col. George Bivens said in a press conference Saturday afternoon. “We have a strong reason to believe that he is still in the area.”

Police say the self-taught survivalist “is prepared to survive outdoors.”
Authorities encourages Pennsylvanians to be on the lookout for small stockpiles and campsite remains and to report any findings to state and local police.
