PSP Lt. Col. George Vivens confirmed at a press conference on Friday that Barham was seen in the Warren area from security footage provided.

The video is from the last few days and was reportedly filmed in an area south of the city of Warren. Watch the full security video below.

Based on the footage, police believe Barham changed the clothes he was wearing when he fled. He was last seen wearing an orange and white striped jumpsuit, jean jacket and crocs.

They also reported that Bahram preferred to travel at night, but noted that it was difficult to move quickly at night. Considering the time out, the weather, and the lack of food, the police weren’t surprised that Barham was slow to act. It looks like he’s injured too.

“I think the longer this goes on, the more disadvantaged he will be. But it’s not easy, and the more time goes by, the more difficult it becomes for him,” Vivens said.

At a press conference, Vivens said he had not yet received any additional information. A drone flying near the prison on the night of Barham’s escape. Other drones were also confirmed to have flown on the same day, but police are particularly interested in the timing and location of the drone’s flight near the prison.

At a news conference on Thursday, state police showed photos of a bag believed to be Barham’s, which was found wrapped in a dark tarp and partially hidden under a log.

The bag, which reportedly contained clothing, food and survival supplies, was found in the woods in the Warren County area. Whether or not these items actually belong to Bluham has yet to be tested.
