HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A man matching the description of a fugitive college student wanted in the killings of two people in Connecticut was seen in northeastern Pennsylvania, but an hours-long search overnight came up empty. Police in Duryea, Pennsylvania, say a firefighter spotted a man with a large backpack behind a business shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday, but he fled. Authorities say the man fit the description of University of Connecticut senior Peter Manfredonia, who reportedly was last seen Sunday about 50 miles away in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Police say Manfredonia is wanted for a machete killing on Friday and a fatal shooting last weekend in Connecticut.
