Prisoner Escape-Pennsylvania
(Unionville, PA) — Pennsylvania State Police believe an escaped murderer is still within the state and probably within the county where the jail is. Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens says the search for Danelo Cavalcante has shifted to the northern part of Chester County after he managed to slip through a police perimeter. Police believe he stole a van and then abandoned it. They also believe he visited a nearby botanical garden, maybe to grab vegetables to eat. Cavalcante escaped from Chester County Prison on August 31st.
