Sweat was sentenced to life without parole after being found guilty for the murder of a Broome County Sheriff's Deputy in 2002.
He is 5-foot-11-inches, 165 pounds, according to NY state police, with brown hair, green eyes, and tattoos on his left bicep and his right fingers.
Matt is serving a sentence of 25 years to life after being convicted for "three counts of murder, three counts of kidnapping, and two counts of robbery," including the kidnapping and beating to death of a male victim in 1997.
NY state police describe him as 6 feet tall, 210 pounds, with black hair and hazel eyes. Mat also has tattoos: one on his back reads "Mexico Forever", while he has a Marine Corps insignia on his right shoulder, as well as a heart on his chest and left shoulder.
"Both are considered a danger to the public," NY state police warned. "If located do not approach them."
