He just came in and said, 'Here's money to pay my taxes with, I’ve had enough. I shot and killed Tammy. Give me an hour to get away and then do whatever you have to do — call the police…whatever you have to do,’ and then he just took off,'" Elaine Babcock told CBS-TV.
Police found Palmer's green 1995 Dodge pickup camper in Harriman State Park a day after the shooting. The vehicle, which was impounded, was discovered about a half mile from Palmer's Haverstraw home.
Miller said he is unsure whether Palmer, who suffered a heart attack last year, is carrying medication with him. He said authorities have subpoenaed Palmer's medical records for more information on his condition.
The Haverstraw police, with the assistance of bloodhounds and New York State Police, have scoured the park over the last week.
Miller said one of the dogs detected a scent that led him to a campsite, where the trail went cold.
"The dog followed it up to a local campsite and then he lost the scent," Miller said. "I’m not even sure it was him."
Miller dismissed the suggestion that Palmer might have crossed into the 16,000-acre military reservation around West Point, where trespassers are prohibited. The reservation is north of Harriman State Park.
Miller also said searches of the land by helicopter have so far proved fruitless.
"We’re not searching by air anymore because the helicopters aren’t really seeing much on the ground," he said. "The leaves are too full right now and there's not a lot of openings."
Authorities are urging any hikers who may encounter Palmer to "walk away" and call police.
