Bradley -- West Virginia State Troopers continue searching for 27-year-old Robert Cole, 28-year-old Nicholas Lane and 23-year-old Brandon Williams but right now authorities aren't sure which direction the men have traveled.

All three men were spotted at around noon Friday, making a phone call from the Sunoco gas station in Bradley. Police believe the men were trying to find a ride.

By late Friday afternoon, troopers suspected the men might have left the area in a silver 1993 Olds Sierra. The car was missing from the Kilsyth area near Mt. Hope and that's the same area where the men were last seen.

There have been no reported sightings of the trio since then.

State troopers say the three men were inmates at Mt. Olive Correctional facility, and were on work detail with the Division of Highways in Beckley. They were on their lunch break at DOH headquarters Thursday when troopers say they ditched their orange jumpsuits and fled.

Anyone who spots the inmates should call state police immediately.

Cole is from Wheeling, Lane is from Cabell county and Williams is from the Mingo-Logan county area.
