And that's why he was in Chester County Prison, because he hadn't even really been processed to go to the next level yet. He was convicted and sentenced to life just two weeks earlier. KENT: Danelo Cavalcante is, you know, said to be extremely dangerous. ![]() There's a question about what that officer in the observation tower was doing on August 31 because Cavalcante wasn't reported missing for an hour, until headcount happened and they were one person short.įADEL: Now, if you could just remind us what Cavalcante was in prison for. Now, in Igor Bolte's case in May, an officer who was in the tower, observation tower, was able to see him. He was able to do the same exact thing, stretching his arms and legs against the two sides of a wall and crab walking, essentially, as you mentioned, up to the roof, climbing down the roof and getting away. This happened on May 19 with another inmate called Igor Bolte. It's a spread out and densely wooded area in some places, so that's also become quite a challenge for them.įADEL: Maggie, this video that's being played everywhere of him crab walking his way up a prison wall and over the wall - I mean, watching it makes you think, how easy is it to escape Chester County Prison? I mean, this isn't the first time. It's just been so hot here.įADEL: And so the heat is a big challenge because with all these sightings, you would think, shouldn't the police be able to find him? And they're having some trouble with the technology used on the chopper because it can't pick up that body heat sensor. We heard from state police in Pennsylvania yesterday, one of their search dogs actually had a heat stroke. So he's collecting things in order to aid in his survival. We also know, based off some of these sightings - one on a trail camera - he's picked up supplies, like a backpack, a duffel bag, a sweatshirt. They've expanded their search area, as you mentioned. ![]() And we know that Danelo Cavalcante is on the move. KENT: So Leila, we know that there's been six credible sightings throughout this eight-day time period. What are police saying about the search effort and why they so far haven't been able to find him? How are you this morning?įADEL: I'm doing well. ![]() Joining us now with the latest is ABC reporter Maggie Kent in Philadelphia. Police are now expanding the search radius after multiple sightings of the man. Thirty-four-year-old Danelo Cavalcante has been on the run for eight days. The manhunt continues for a convicted murderer who escaped Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania prison last week.
