PHILADELPHIA, PA – The search for prison escapee Danelo Cavalcante intensifies as it reaches its 11th day. Two confirmed sightings on September 8th have led authorities to narrow their search parameters. The updated search area now extends from Conservatory Rd. to State Route 52 and Street Rd. to Longwood Rd.
The most recent sighting came on September 8th at approximately 11:45 PM when Cavalcante was seen near Phoenixville in northern Chester County. He was clean-shaven and wearing a yellow-green hooded sweatshirt, black baseball cap, green prison pants, and white shoes. Additionally, Cavalcante was reported to be operating a white vehicle.
Previously, a homeowner reported that Cavalcante broke into his house to steal food before quickly departing. Police have chosen not to disclose the location of this particular sighting to the public.
He escaped from Chester County Jail on August 31st. The jail guard on duty during the escape has reportedly since been fired.
Law enforcement agencies are urging anyone with information to immediately contact 911 or the Pennsylvania State Police Tipline at 717-562-2987.
