Video After The Jump
POTTSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — An escaped murderer was captured Wednesday after eluding hundreds of searchers for 2 weeks, bringing relief to anxious residents of southeastern Pennsylvania who endured sleepless nights as he hid in the woods, broke into suburban homes for food, changed his appearance & fled under gunfire with a rifle pilfered from a garage.
Authorities used thermal imaging from aircraft to pinpoint a possible location & then used ground forces to capture escaped inmate Danelo Souza Cavalcante.
Aerial video footage showed a handcuffed man in a gravel lot & wearing a grey, long-sleeve shirt with law enforcement officers holding both arms. Later, the man stands at the back of an armored vehicle while an officer cuts the back of the shirt from neck to waist.
The end to the search for Cavalcante, 34, unfolded just beyond Philadelphia’s suburbs, in an area of woods, rolling farmland & a county park. The search forced schools to close, led to warnings for homeowners to lock their doors & blocked roads.
Cavalcante escaped from the Chester County jail in southeastern Pennsylvania on Aug. 31 by crab-walking up between 2 walls that were topped with razor wire, then jumping from the roof & dashing away. He had been awaiting transfer to state prison after being sentenced days earlier for fatally stabbing his girlfriend & is wanted in connection with another killing in Brazil.
