WHITFIELD: Welcome back. A massive manhunt going on in Florida for three escaped inmates, one of whom is a registered sex offender. The three escaped from a county jail near Tallahassee. CNN's Kaylee Hartung is following the developments for us. What more can you tell us about the search?</s>KAYLEE HARTUNG, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Fred, I just spoke to the sheriff's department. They've now transitioned from a massive area search into more of an intelligence-based search. Yesterday, they had a tremendous amount of manpower across multiple agencies, combing the heavily wooded area near this jail and across the county. They had K9 teams, helicopters in the air. But now focusing on investigating who these men are, who their known associates were, where they like to hang out. In the last 36 hours, they have interviewed more than 80 people. Here's what we do know. Donald Cotterman, the one on the left, is the registered sex offender. He has gone by other aliases. Casey Martina, the middle there, he's the youngest and most physically imposing of the three. Just 25 years old. Martina and Cotterman, these two are repeat offenders facing life in prison if convicted of the most recent charges, which include burglary and criminal mischief, among others. And Joel Cooper, on the right, he is serving a 30-year sentence after he was found guilty in 2011 of burglary. All three suspects were last seen wearing gray or white sweat pants and long johns. The sheriff's department telling me they have the assistance of U.S. Marshalls of the neighboring Leon County, Florida Highway Patrol, Florida Department of law enforcement. This is an all-hands-on-deck situation, Fred. But as I mentioned, more intelligence-based now, in the investigation.</s>WHITFIELD: Keep us posted on that. Kaylee, thank you so much. We've got so much more straight ahead in the NEWSROOM, right after this.
