The manhunt<span style="color: Red;">*</span>for three Southern California inmates who fled an Orange County prison by rappelling from a jail's roof entered a fourth day Monday as authorities pleaded for public help in the search.
Sheriff's Lt. David Sawyer said the men should be considered extremely dangerous<span style="color: Red;">*</span>— and may well be hiding near<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the Orange County Central Men's Jail in Santa Ana. All are accused of violent crimes, and at least one of them is connected to Vietnamese gangs in the area, Sawyer said.
"We feel that they may be embedded somewhere in the community, and that is why we are reaching<span style="color: Red;">*</span>out to the community," Sawyer said.
Sawyer said someone in the area must know where they are or where they are headed. He said the identity of anyone who provided information could be protected. Rewards for information leading to their capture total about $50,000.
"We understand that you are in danger. We understand that you are fearful," Sawyer said. "But it's an obligation that you come out and let us know" where they are.
Bac Duong, 43, Hossein Nayeri, 37, and Jonathan Tieu, 20, were discovered missing Friday, about 15 hours after they were present for an early morning head count.

Authorities say the men apparently cut through steel bars and duct work to climb to the roof. They cut through a section of razor wire and rappelled down using rope made from bed sheets or other material from their cells, authorities said.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>It was the first escape from the 900-inmate facility in 20 years.
Duong<span style="color: Red;">*</span>was being held without bond since last month on charges of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm and other charges.
Tieu had been held since October 2013 on $1 million bond on charges of murder, attempted murder and shooting<span style="color: Red;">*</span>at an inhabited dwelling. His case is believed to be gang-related.
Nayeri was being held without bond,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>charged with kidnapping, torture, aggravated mayhem and burglary and has been held since September 2014. Nayeri and three other men are accused of kidnapping a California marijuana dispensary owner in 2012, driving him to a spot in the desert where they believed he had hidden money and then<span style="color: Red;">*</span>torturing<span style="color: Red;">*</span>him.
