The hunt for Cavalcante, a convicted murderer who escaped from the county prison Aug. 31, is focused on an 8-square-mile stretch of woods near Longwood Gardens. A prison guard has been fired.
The search for escaped Chester County inmate Danelo Cavalcante grew significantly on its ninth day Friday, as Pennsylvania State Police officials boosted the force searching for him to its largest size since he fled from custody on Aug. 31.
“He’ll make a mistake. He’ll become more desperate,” Bivens said. “And he’ll have to expose himself.”Cavalcante, 34, escaped from the county prison on Aug. 31 by scaling a wall in one of the facility’s exercise yards. He was sentenced a week earlier to life in prisonActing Warden Howard Holland told reporters this week that the officer on duty in the tower during the escape had been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation by the state Attorney General’s Office.
The sightings late Wednesday and Thursday afternoon brought to four the number of times Cavalcante had been seen around Longwood, Bivens said.
