Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police says Cavalcante is surrounded by the search perimeter and it is only a matter of time before he is caught.
“I believe he becomes more desperate. I believe he has always been very dangerous, and I’ve said that from the start. He’s already murdered two people – one in Brazil and one here – in a very brutal manner. He’s a very dangerous individual, and he remains so,” he told“Our primary mission is to get this guy in custody. That’s where all of our attention is focused at this moment,” Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan added.
