Since August 31, a real manhunt has been going on in the state of Pennsylvania to try to find Danelo Cavalcante, a dangerous inmate who had escaped from prison.
It is time for relief in the state of Pennsylvania. After fourteen days of tracking, the police finally managed to capture Danelo Cavalcante, the man sentenced to life imprisonment for killing his wife by stabbing her 38 times and who had escaped from prison by climbing a prison wall.
Since Thursday August 31, the man had been hunted by some 500 police officers, supported by the FBI and US Marshals, as well as sniffer dogs, but also several helicopters. However, after playing hide and seek with them in the immense Pennsylvania botanical garden, the murderer managed to escape and steal a car discreetly.

According to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, the man was picked up in an undergrowth in the early morning, shortly before 8 a.m. to be exact. And despite a large police presence, “this did not dissuade him from trying to escape by starting to crawl through the thick undergrowth with his rifle”, before realizing that he was “surrounded” .
However, no person was injured and no shots were fired. The criminal nevertheless suffered “a slight bite” to the scalp from the officer’s dog which neutralized him.

A real relief
Since August 31, the police have been on edge, because Danelo Cavalcante is considered a dangerous criminal. In addition to his conviction in the United States, the man is also under arrest warrant from Brazil for another murder.
In fact, local authorities had ordered Pennsylvania residents to “lock all exterior doors and windows, secure vehicles and stay indoors.” Tuesday, September 12, schools near Philadelphia were even closed to avoid a tragedy.
Therefore, Pennsylvania officers showed real relief after the arrest of Danelo Cavalcante. The murderer must undergo medical examinations before being returned to a penitentiary establishment. He will appear shortly for “criminal escape”.
