Chester County Prison escape: Danelo Cavalcante sighted 1.5 miles away

POCOPSON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) — Residents near the Chester County Prison are being asked to lock their doors and stay inside due to a heavy police presence in the area – as the search for escaped inmate Danelo Cavalcante continues into a third day.

Cavalcante, who authorities said escaped Thursday morning, was convicted of the murder of his ex-girlfriend Deborah Brandao.

Officials said at a news conference Saturday they continue to believe Cavalcante has not gotten more than 1 to 2 miles away from the prison, and are closing in on him.

Because of the ongoing search, Longwood Gardens closed on Saturday as a precaution.

However, officials worry the escapee may try to break into a home, especially if the owner is away for the Labor Day weekend.

At about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, he was seen on a residential surveillance camera the 1800 block of Lenape Road in Pocopson Township, about 1.5 miles from where the prison is located, according to the Chester County District Attorney’s Office.

The office released surveillance video filmed about one hour later that they say shows Cavalcante. In the video, filmed on a Eufy surveillance camera, a man can be seen walking through a yard next to a wooded area.

Police were also told of an attempted burglary Friday night on the 1000 block of Ballintree Lane. A homeowner there confronted a man fitting Cavalcante’s description, District Attorney Deb Ryan said at the news conference.

“Look in your basements, look around your areas, check your cars. Make sure that things are locked,” Ryan said.  

Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Clark said residents need to be vigilant. No one should approach Cavalcante, but securing your property is paramount.

“They need to be conscious of things such as someone’s been in their shed, or they’re missing a bike, or a door’s open that…

Chester County Prison escapee Danelo Cavalcante spotted on camera early Saturday [update] [home camera video]

POCOPSON — Authorities on Saturday said convicted murderer Danelo Sousa Cavalcante had been spotted less than 2 miles from the Chester County Prison from where he had escaped about 40 hours earlier.

During a press conference Saturday afternoon, Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan confirmed that Cavalcante had been sighted.

“One resident indicated they observed a small male fitting the description of our suspect with a backpack on in the area,” Ryan said. “There is evidence to suggest that he’s still in the local (residential area). We just now believe he has not gotten more than 1 to 2 miles away from the prison. Law enforcement is still actively canvassing the area.”

In a press release issued Saturday, the Chester County District Attorney’s Office said Cavalcante, 34, of Montgomery County was seen on a residential surveillance camera about 12:30 a.m. Saturday in the 1800 block of Lenape Road, about 1½ miles from the prison.

Officials said they believe Cavalcante is hiding in a heavily wooded residential area.

Robert Carr Jr. of the U.S. Marshals Service added that they believe the fugitive is in a residential area of about 271 homes. He added that since the sighting of Cavalcante, additional investigators have been brought in to assist in the search.

“There’s well over 100 investigators out there from the state police, U.S. Marshals, local, state and county assets as well,” Carr said. “So our presence in the area has only gone up since this positive sighting (Friday) night.”

Cavalcante was wearing pants, a light-colored T-shirt and white sneakers, the same clothing he was last seen in after he escaped from the prison early Thursday. He has long, black curly hair and was wearing a backpack, although it was unclear where he may have acquired the backpack.

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.

Convicted murderer who escaped Chester County Prison spotted on surveillance video in Pocopson Twp.

POCOPSON TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) — The manhunt continues for a convicted murderer who escaped the Chester County Prison in Pocopson Township, Pennsylvania.

Federal and local law enforcement have been searching for 34-year-old Danelo Cavalcante since his 8:50 a.m. escape on Thursday.

He was recently spotted around 1:43 a.m. Saturday on surveillance video on the 1800 block of Lenape Road in Pocopson Township. It’s about 1.5 miles from the prison.

He was observed wearing pants, a white T-shirt and white sneakers, and he had a backpack.

Authorities believe that he’s been wearing prison-issued pants and prison-issued shorts underneath when he escaped on August 31. They do not know at this time where he obtained the backpack.

“His appearance has remained unchanged,” District Attorney Deb Ryan said during a Saturday press conference.

Police have responded to well over 100 tips from neighbors in the area, including allegations of possible break-ins to residential homes in the vicinity within a one to two-mile radius of the prison.

Around 11:30 p.m. Friday, one resident reported an attempted burglary on the 1000 block of Ballintree Lane in Pocopson Township. It’s still unclear if it was Cavalcante.

“We are requesting that residents in the area of Pocopson Township remain inside. Lock your doors, lock your cars. He is still considered an extremely dangerous individual. There is evidence to suggest that he’s still in that local residence. We do not believe he has gotten more than one to two miles away from the prison,” said Ryan.

“We believe we are getting closer to locating the suspect at this time, and we are narrowing the scope of our search,” Ryan added.
