The convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison was spotted in Chester County on Saturday evening with an altered appearance, police said.
Police with rifles monitor a wooded perimeter in the rain on day 10 of a manhunt for convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante on Sept. 9, 2023, in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Cavalcante escaped from Chester County Prison on August 31.11 days ago, snuck through a perimeter guarded by hundreds of officers, stole a van, altered his appearance and drove miles north where he tried to contact two former work colleagues, officials said.
Bivens said the 34-year-old Cavalcante allegedly stole a white work van from Baily's Dairy sometime Saturday night about three-fourths of a mile from the perimeter around Longwood Gardens. He said the van was unlocked and the keys were left inside, enabling Cavalcante to easily steal the vehicle. He said investigators believe Cavalcante is still in Pennsylvania and have refocused the search to the East Nantmeal Township area in northern Chester County.
"He spoke with the individual via a video doorbell at that residence and inquired about meeting with that individual," Bivens said. Bivens said police didn't learn Cavalcante had eluded their perimeter at Longwood Gardens until about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, when they received reports of the sightings of the fugitive in East Pikeland Township and Phoenixville.
He said there were a number of drainage areas and underground tunnels at Longwood Gardens that could not be secured, Bivens said."He's absolutely looking for support. He needs that support and doesn't have it," Bivens said.
