MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (AP) - A private crime tip service is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the capture of the two remaining escapees from the Indiana State Prison.

Members of the public with information about the whereabouts of 46-year-old Mark Booher of New Castle or 45-year-old Lance Battreal are asked to call the private crime tip service WeTip at 1-800-78CRIME (1-800-782-7463) or visit wetip.com .
