To climb
Images taken in the prison show how the man manages to climb up between two walls of an outdoor area of the prison. He has now been on the run for seven days. He has been spotted several times on cameras in the wooded area. Another prisoner is said to have escaped this way in May. Barbed wire has since been added.
Murder
Brazilian Danelo Cavalcante (34) escaped from Chester county jail. He has been convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend in front of his children in 2021.
He attacked her with two knives. Deborah Brandao, 33, was able to ask her 7-year-old daughter for help. She managed to reach the neighbors, who called 911. But that was in vain. The mother died in hospital from 12 stab wounds.
The escaped Cavalcante is also said to have killed someone in Brazil in 2017. His girlfriend would have known about that.
He was sentenced to life in prison in the US last month.
There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to the prisoner’s arrest.
