Police Urge Vigilance As Search For Escaped PA Murderer Continues

CHESTER COUNTY — Authorities urged Chester County residents to remain vigilant as the search continued Saturday for convicted killer Danelo Cavalcante, who broke out of prison Thursday and was last spotted early Saturday morning.

At a 3 p.m. news conference, Chester County, state and federal authorities said they believed Cavalcante was still located within a mile or two of the prison where he escaped. Authorities said they were focusing their search efforts on a heavily wooded area near Route 52.

Authorities said more than 270 homes were located in the vicinity of the search area.

“We are requesting that residents in the area remain inside,” Chester County District Attorney Deborah Ryan said Saturday. “Lock your doors, lock your cars. There is evidence to suggest he’s still in the area.”

A home surveillance camera caught a glimpse of 34-year-old Cavalcante shortly before 1:45 a.m. Saturday morning in the 1800 block of Lenape Road, approximately 1.5 miles from the Chester County Prison, officials said.

He was wearing pants, a light-colored t-shirt, and white sneakers. His appearance has remained unchanged since his escape Thursday morning, officials said Saturday.

Cavalcante has long, black curly hair and is wearing a backpack. Authorities on Saturday said they did not know where he obtained the backpack.

Cavalcante was convicted on Aug. 16 of first-degree murder in the April 18, 2021 stabbing of Deborah Brandao in front of her children, ages 4 and 7, outside her home in the 300 block of Pawlings Road, Schuylkill Township.

He was sentenced on Aug. 22 in the Chester County Justice Center to life in prison after a jury deliberated for 15 minutes. On Thursday, he was awaiting transfer to state prison to serve out his sentence when he escaped.

During Saturday’s news conference, authorities said they had responded to more…

Firefighters cycle across the state to honor fallen 9/11 heroes

Sep 09, 2023, 5:03pmUpdated 2d ago

A total of 343 firefighters died in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 and 341 more firefighters have died since from their illnesses acquired while working at Ground Zero – on Saturday, FDNY firefighters cycled across Connecticut in remembrance of their sacrifice.

The Milford Fire Department served as a rest stop for dozens of firefighters cycling across Connecticut in the 13th annual FDNY 343 Ride. The tour began out of Sherwood Island State Park and ended at Mohegan Sun – 95 miles in all.

“When Ride 343 reached out, there were no questions asked,” Milford Fire Battalion Chief Adam Hansen said. “The only question was, ‘What else can we do?’”

“A quick break, we fill up our water bottles and keep going,” Greg Gatto, of Long Island, said.

“It’s a long ride,” Massapequa’s Vince Miller said. “During, you don’t even think about it. You just keep riding, and you think about everybody else and the pain they felt running up the stairs and the towers and everything else that went along with it.”

The next stop was in East Haven, where Building Homes for Heroes unveiled a new, mortgage-free home for retired Army Specialist Evan Marcy.

“He joined the service right after the attacks on 9/11,” said Larry Mack, a retired Engine 50, Ladder 19 fireman. “The kid lost his leg [in Afghanistan], so we’ve teamed up with Building Homes for Heroes and it’s their 343rd house, so it’s fitting that one of our own blood gets this house on this anniversary.”

“It’s actually brought our ride full circle,” Gatto said.

Those lost on September 11 are front-of-mind in downtown Milford every day. Their 9/11 Memorial features the names of three Milford residents who died. The…

The art museum in Doylestown is showing the artwork of the Native Americans who once lived in the area.

An art museum in Doylestown is telling the story of the area’s Native American inhabitants through an immersive gallery.

The Michener Art Museum, located at 138 S Pine Street, began its latest art exhibit on Sept. 9. “Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories” delves into the long history of the Lenni Lenape, a Native American tribe that was once the main inhabitants of what is now Bucks County.

The exhibition features recent and newly commissioned work by Ahchipaptunhe (Delaware Tribe of Indians and Cherokee), Joe Baker (Delaware Tribe of Indians), Holly Wilson (Delaware Nation and Cherokee), and Nathan Young (Delaware Tribe of Indians, Pawnee, and Kiowa). The works, new and old, tell the story of the original inhabitants of the area.

“Through a focus on Lenape art and culture and a critical examination of historical visualizations of Native and European–American relationships, Never Broken demonstrates the ways in which art can create, challenge, and rewrite history.”

The exhibit will run until Jan. 14 of next year.

Learn more about the new exhibit and the Lenni Lenape at the Michener Art Museum.

Murderer who escaped Chester County Prison caught on video 1.5 miles from the prison Saturday morning, DA says

As the search for convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante continues, authorities say the escaped prisoner was seen on surveillance video near the jail early Saturday morning.

Cavalcante, 34, was seen on a residential camera around 12:30 a.m. on the 1800 block of Lenape Road in Pocopson Township, just 1.5 miles from Chester County Prison. He is wearing pants, a light-colored t-shirt, and white sneakers. Cavalcante was described to be 5 feet tall and about 120 pounds with curly black hair and brown eyes, District Attorney Deb Ryan said. 

An hour before Cavalcante was seen on camera, an attempted burglary was reported on the 1000 block of Ballintree Lane in Pocopson Township. Pocopson Township is 7 miles south of West Chester and about a 40-mile drive west from Center City.

Law enforcement agencies, including local, state, and federal authorities, U.S. Marshals, and SWAT teams, are searching the area. 

“Law enforcement is requesting that residents in the area remain indoors. Lock your vehicles. Review your surveillance cameras and contact the police if you observe anything suspicious. Danelo Cavalcante is considered an extremely dangerous man. Please remain vigilant in assisting with this search. If you see this individual, do not approach him. Call 911 immediately,” Ryan said. 

Cavalcante escaped the Chester County Prison on Thursday morning and was reported missing around 8:50 a.m. He was seen walking along Wawaset Road in Pocopson Township at 9:40 a.m. Cavalcante had yet to be transported to a state prison following his sentencing. On Aug. 16, he was sentenced to life in prison for fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend, 33-year-old Deborah Brandao, outside of a home in Schuylkill Township.

Authorities said Brandao threatened to go to police with information about Cavalcante’s involvement in a 2017 homicide in Brazil before he fled to the United States and settled in Pennsylvania. 

There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to Cavalcante’s arrest. Anyone with information on Cavalcante’s whereabouts can call 911…
