A convicted murderer’s escape from a Pennsylvania prison outside Philadelphia kicked off a manhunt that dramatically evolved in recent days after he slipped a police perimeter and turned up in northern Chester County, where authorities say he was sighted Monday night and is now armed with a rifle.
Approximately 500 law enforcement officers have been searching for Danelo Cavalcante, 34, who escaped August 31 from Chester County Prison, where he was held after his conviction last month in the 2021 killing of his former girlfriend, Deborah Brandão. Here’s a timeline of his escape and the search so far.
The camera captured the fugitive twice, once walking north and then about an hour later going south. By that time, Cavalcante had obtained several items, Bivens said, including a backpack, a duffle sling bag and a hooded sweatshirt. Tuesday, September 5: Creek bed sighting The next night, Cavalcante was spotted by a resident in a creek bed on the resident’s property in Pennsbury Township, Bivens said, a few miles southeast of the prison. He fled into the woods before police could capture him.
