Accomplice in New York prison break suspected in plot with escapees to kill husband

Story here. Excerpt:

'His wife is accused of helping two convicted murderers break out of a New York prison. And the escape plan, a source says, also included a plot to end his life.

But how much did Lyle Mitchell know?

That's one question investigators are asking as they search for two fugitives in a massive manhunt.

The answer depends on whom you ask.

A source with direct knowledge of the investigation told CNN that prison tailor Joyce Mitchell knew the inmates had plotted to kill her husband, told him about their plans to break out of the facility and warned him that his life could be in danger.

But a lawyer representing Lyle Mitchell said the husband, who also worked in prison's tailoring block, was kept in the dark.
...
She'd been investigated in the past for an inappropriate relationship with Sweat that led corrections officials to move him out of the tailor shop in 2013 and keep them separated, said Wylie, the district attorney.

That's the year when she started having a sexual relationship with [escapee Richard] Matt, the source said.

The sexual relationship took place at the tailor shop in the Clinton Correctional Facility, the only known place the two were together, the source said.'
