Key takeaways:
- Pennsylvania State Police have confirmed two more sightings of escaped prisoner Danelo Cavalcante

On Saturday morning, Pennsylvania State Police confirmed that escaped prisoner Danelo Cavalcante had been spotted twice more on Friday within the densely wooded area that law enforcement has been searching. Cavalcante, who was sentenced last month to life in prison without the possibility of parole after he was convicted of fatally stabbing his former girlfriend, escaped from the Chester County Prison on August 31.
The search for the 34-year-old convicted killer has now entered its tenth day, with police releasing surveillance footage showing Cavalcante using a crab-walk to climb up the prison’s wall until he disappeared from view. Authorities said the latest sightings of Cavalcante were “visual sightings” in the zone around Longwood Gardens, a public esplanade in the county.
The search area has been narrowed down significantly since Cavalcante’s escape, with police now focusing their efforts on the densely wooded area surrounding Longwood Gardens. Law enforcement have been using helicopters, K-9 units, and drones to search for the fugitive, and have also been asking local residents to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity.
The Pennsylvania State Police have urged anyone with information on Cavalcante’s whereabouts to contact them immediately. They have also warned the public not to approach the fugitive, as he is considered to be dangerous.
