The manhunt for convicted killer Danelo Cavalcante has now entered its eighth day with details beginning to emerge about how he managed to escape from prison in Pennsylvania.
Cavalcante, 34, escaped from Chester County Prison days after he was sentenced to life without parole for stabbing his ex-girlfriend Deborah Brandao, 31, to death in front of her two small children. He is also wanted for a 2017 murder in Brazil.
Cavalcante was last spotted in a creek bed near Pennsbury Township on Tuesday evening. Authorities fruitlessly searched the area for hours.
Police said on Wednesday that he broke out by climbing onto the roof from one of the prison’s exercise yards. Newly released video shows Cavalcante crawling up a wall at the prison before he disappears from the frame.
He then jumped down to an area of the prison with less surveillance. A tower officer tasked with observing the site failed to report the incident and Cavalcante’s escape was only noticed during a head count.
It’s the second jailbreak at the prison this year. The inmate who previously attempted to escape used the same method as Cavalcante but was caught within minutes after a tower officer informed prison staff.
DA says family of Cavalcante’s murder victim are terrified
Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryans said during a press conference on Thursday that the family of Deborah Brandao, who was murdered by Cavalcante in 2021, are terrified following his prison escape.
“They do have protection and they are terrified. They haven’t left their home, they’re barricaded inside their home and they are very scared,” Ms Ryan said. “We do have police detail surrounding the home but I know they are very scared and very, very worried.”
Ms Ryan also said that Cavalcante will not be going back to Chester County Prison once he’s captured.
Police say Cavalcante has not left any items behind
Lt Col Bivens said that investigators have not been able to find any traces left behind by Cavalcante.
An eight-mile search perimeter has been set up based on sightings of Cavalcante.
Mr Bivens said authorities were facing challenges when canvassing the vast area where Cavalcante is believed to be hiding.
“It’s not a perfect piece of land that you can just march through. You’ve got businesses, residences, highways, hills, valleys, wooded areas,” Mr Bivens said.
Lt Col George Bivens says state police is focusing search on residencial areas
Mr Bivens said that authorities were searching residencial areas and what appeared to be abandoned homes.
Authorities were especially focusing on signs of forced entry.
“He’s a very dangerous individual and he remains so,” Mr Bivens said. “He’s already murdered two people in a very brutal manner, one in Brazil and another person here.”
Search perimeter is now eights miles
Authorities said during a press conference on Thursday that the search perimeter had to be expanded.
“I have every reason to believe he is within that perimeter,” Lt Col Bevins said. “We are working really hard to capture the convict and not let him go anywhere.”

Sister of woman murdered by ‘dangerous’ fugitive says she hasn’t slept since he went on run
Sarah Brandao, sister of the victim Deborah Brandao said in an interview that since Cavalcante’s jailbreak last week, “I have been waking up with fright at night”.
Deborah Brandao was stabbed 38 times by her ex-boyfriend Danelo Cavalcante with a kitchen knife in Schuylkill Township Chester in County, Pennsylvania, back in April 2021.
The Independent’s Marroosha Muzaffar reports:
Danelo Cavalcante was last seen in a creek bed
Cavalcante was last spotted near Chandler Road in Pennsbury Township on Tuesday evening. Local and federal law enforcement agencies searched the area for hours but were not able to locate Cavalcante.
Mr Bivens said that search units were experiencing challenges while canvassing the vast wooded area where Cavalcante is believed to be hiding. A K-9 unit had to be hospitalised on Tuesday, Mr Bivens said, after suffering a heat-related medical incident.
“I don’t think he has more ability than we initially gave him credit for, I think it’s a very challenging area,” Mr Bivens said. “We have had some searches like this in the past ... some take hours, some take days, some take months.”

‘He said he was going to do something bad to our lives’, daughter of Cavalcante’s victim told police
The daughter of Danelo Cavalcante’s victim told police that he showed up at their house and said he was going to do “something bad to their lives”, according to an affidavit.
