Hundreds of law enforcement officers are scouring southern Maine for the suspect, Robert R. Card Jr., a 40-year-old Army reservist. The first 36 hours of the manhunt underscored the challenges of finding a fugitive in thickly wooded terrain. An outdoorsman who has spent years in the military, Mr. Card knows guns and knows the region. Maine is vast and sparsely populated, with about 1.3 million residents spread across more than 30,000 square miles of forest. The state is dotted with campgrounds that by this time of year are no longer filled with summer tourists.

The Pennsylvania jail from which convicted murderer Danilo Cavalcante brazenly escaped, eluding searchers for two weeks, plans to enclose its exercise yards with walls and a roof and make inmates wear brighter uniforms, along with other security improvements. The Chester County jail board unanimously approved plans Wednesday to fully enclose the exercise yards at the facility in Pocopson, southwest of Philadelphia. The redesign plan calls for fully enclosed exercise yards, with 18-foot-high masonry walls to replace fencing, and the removal of shed roofs that could inmates could scale. The design notably blocks overhead sunlight into the yard, save for a small ribbon of windows at the top with secure screening. Cavalcante was charged with escape after his capture, and his next hearing in that case is scheduled for Wednesday.

They thought they had him cornered. Danelo Cavalcante, facing life in prison for murder, had shimmied his way out of the Chester County jail on Aug. 31 and was on the run in exurbs of eastern Pennsylvania. Local and state police set up a perimeter around the expanse where they suspected Mr. Cavalcante was hiding out. It might take a while, but they had him penned in, they thought. Just before midnight the next day, Mr. Cavalcante broke into a house, apparently in search of provisions.

Haynes, 30, had been arrested earlier in the day on murder charges relating to an Aug. 12 shooting in the district. His escape prompted a several-hour shelter-in-place order last week for the entire GW campus and brief roadblocks on nearby streets. Police were able to provide an image last week of Haynes wearing a black t-shirt and gray briefs and moving through a local backyard. There were so many new twists that the public became fixated on what's coming next," Levin said. But Haynes escaped in the midst of a large city not far from a subway station.

It took the authorities in Pennsylvania 13 days to track down the convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante after he escaped from a county jail last month. It took just a few hours after his capture on Wednesday for officials to deliver him to the prison that will be his home for the foreseeable future. On Thursday, Mr. Cavalcante, 34, began his first full day as inmate QP8931 at S.C.I. Mr. Cavalcante arrived at S.C.I. Phoenix far more notorious than when he escaped from a jail in Chester County on Aug. 31.

CNN —The convicted murderer who escaped a Pennsylvania prison late last month is once again behind bars, now facing additional charges, after a nearly two-week manhunt that captured national attention and put the surrounding community on edge. Officers escort Danilo Cavalcante from a Pennsylvania State Police barracks in Avondale on Wednesday. “He said the law enforcement presence where he was, was immense and he felt that he needed to leave,” Clark said. “Three times, he described that law enforcement officials almost stepped on him within 7 or 8 yards,” Clark said. Prosecutors say Cavalcante stabbed Brandão 38 times in front of her two young children in Pennsylvania in April 2021.

In the immediate aftermath of the manhunt for Danelo Cavalcante, a peculiar scene unfolded — some two dozen law enforcement agents in tactical gear clustered around the fugitive. Then everyone posed for a photo. Others said it was unnecessary or unfair to use Mr. Cavalcante, who appeared to remain expressionless, as an involuntary prop. In 2021, a photo of white police officers and their dogs in Mississippi posing with a captured Black bank robbery suspect drew widespread criticism. In 2015, a Chicago officer was fired after a photo surfaced in which he and another officer, both of whom were white, posed with long guns, flanking a Black suspect wearing antlers.

Pennsylvania fugitive recaptured after weeks-long manhunt
  + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Sept 13 (Reuters) - A convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania jail last month was recaptured on Wednesday after eluding an expanding manhunt for weeks and unnerving residents in the suburbs west of Philadelphia, state police said on social media. School districts canceled classes for a day after Cavalcante was seen on security-camera video on a public garden trail. More than a week after his escape, he stole a van and drove about 25 miles (40 km) before abandoning the vehicle. He also stole a rile from a garage as the owner of the house who fired several shots at him. After his escape from the county jail, authorities had offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

A convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania jail and eluded hundreds of law enforcement officers for almost two weeks in quiet, wooded communities outside Philadelphia has been recaptured, the authorities said on Wednesday morning. Officials were expected to release more details later in the morning. The manhunt grew in size and urgency as the days unfolded, becoming especially pressing after Mr. Cavalcante stole a rifle from a garage on the night of Sept. 11. Officials, who had considered him a dangerous fugitive all along, warned that he was “desperate enough” to use the gun. Over the course of the search, Mr. Cavalcante was spotted numerous times, the authorities said, by people in the area and also in the infrared glare of residential security cameras at night.

But for a variety of reasons, those facing serious crimes are most often required to serve their sentences in the United States. Image Danelo Cavalcante Credit... Chester County District Attorney's Office, via Associated PressDid U.S. law enforcement know that a fugitive from Brazil was in the United States? Mr. Cavalcante was wanted in Brazil in connection with the slaying of a man in his small town of Figueiropolis in 2017. Even if Brazil had issued an Interpol notice calling for his arrest, the United States would have had no reason to believe he was living in the United States. People who are tried and convicted of a crime in the United States must serve their time here, with rare exceptions.

After nearly two weeks of combing the cornfields and dense woods of Chester County, Pa., with hundreds of law enforcement officers and a battery of drones, dogs and helicopters, the capture itself took about five minutes. A little after 8 a.m. on Wednesday, in a densely wooded area of South Coventry Township, a team of officers quietly surrounded Danelo Cavalcante, 34, who had broken out of Chester County Prison, where he was being held after he was convicted of murdering his former girlfriend. He was taken by surprise, officials said, and tried to crawl away through the underbrush, but a search dog caught him. “Subject is in custody,” an officer radioed to dispatchers at 8:16 a.m. “Confirmed, subject is in custody.”So ended a manhunt that had unnerved communities all over Chester County, an affluent suburb of Philadelphia, and even rattled people back in Mr. Cavalcante’s home country of Brazil, where he is wanted in connection with a 2017 killing.

“Our nightmare is finally over and the good guys won,” Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan said Wednesday. The theft and shooting ultimately may have been a turning point in the intense search by hundreds of law enforcement officers. About 500 law enforcement officers – including the Pennsylvania State Police, FBI, ATF, and the US Marshals – searched the area of the shooting. At 8:18 a.m., a Chester County dispatcher said they had their man. “The radio room, Chester County government and the various other agencies working on the prisoner escape are proud to announce the subject is in custody.

Police Captured an Escaped Killer in Pennsylvania

A convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison and spent two weeks hiding in woods and fields was captured this morning, ending an extensive manhunt through Philadelphia’s western suburbs. The fugitive, Danelo Cavalcante, was apprehended after an alarm went off at a house in a wooded area of Chester County. A federal law enforcement aircraft, which was involved in the search, detected a nearby “heat signal,” and closed in on Cavalcante in a wooded area about 15 miles north of Chester County Prison, which he had escaped from on Aug. 31. “They had the element of surprise,” Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police said. “Cavalcante did not realize he was surrounded.”Cavalcante tried to crawl away through thick underbrush with his stolen rifle, Bivens said, but a federal agent released a dog, which chased and “subdued” him, and left him with a “minor bite wound.” The officers moved in and Cavalcante, though still resisting, was taken into custody with no shots fired.

Stealing the rifle was a ‘crime of opportunity’Officers gather as the search for escaped convict Danelo Cavalcante continues Tuesday in Pottstown. Matt Rourke/APThe dayslong manhunt saw one of its most dramatic nights Monday in South Coventry Township, where Cavalcante was still believed to be Tuesday. The search perimeter was expanded to include that area and tactical teams from multiple agencies, helicopters, canine units and mounted patrols converged on the area to search for Cavalcante. Officers enter the woods amid the search for Danelo Cavalcante in Pottstown Tuesday. In addition, Cavalcante is also wanted in a 2017 homicide case in Brazil, a US Marshals Service official has said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A group photo of about two dozen law officers in tactical gear posing with escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante minutes after his capture Wednesday in southeastern Pennsylvania drew criticism from policing reform advocates and some members of the public. Policing experts said the celebratory moment after the grueling 14-day search for the armed suspect was inappropriate and dehumanizing. Photos of Cavalcante immediately after being arrested, with the police dog pinning him down, circulated widely on social media Wednesday in the hours after the arrest was announced. The photos did not include information about who took them, but they were taken inside the secured perimeter where only law enforcement officers were allowed. If I was on the scene as the public affairs officer representing a law enforcement agency, I would have discouraged it.”

Cavalcante was captured in Chester County, swarmed by at least 20 law enforcement officers, Bivens said. Yoda joined the search from the US Border Patrol Tactical Unit stationed out of Michigan, Clark told CNN. The tactical teams made the decision to deploy Yoda – knowing Cavalcante was armed – before upgrading to deadly force, according to Clark. Yoda is a “bite and hold” police dog, Clark said, trained to hold down an individual until commanded to release the hold.

When Jason Mesiarik heard the gunshots that were fired during an encounter his neighbor had with escaped prisoner Danelo Cavalcante Monday night, he called police to report the incident, Mesiarik told CNN. Several law enforcement agencies have been searching for Cavalcante in the area for nearly two weeks after he escaped from prison. “I had just finished feeding our horses when I heard the gunshots a minute or two after ten and called it in,” Mesiarik told CNN. “You never hear gunshots at night and usually I’m hearing a lot larger calibers, shotguns, targets but this one sounded like a 22," he said. Pennsylvania officials said Tuesday that Cavalcante has a .22 caliber rifle that he stole from a resident's garage overnight.

Despite the shifting search areas, all reported sightings of Cavalcante so far have happened in Chester County. He spoke with the acquaintance on a Ring doorbell camera, which captured his new clean-shaven look, but the person wasn’t home and did not respond to meet Cavalcante, Bivens said. • September 2: Cavalcante was spotted on surveillance video about 1.5 miles from the prison, authorities said. • September 4: A security camera recorded the fugitive at Longwood Gardens, about 3 miles from the prison, authorities said. • Friday: Authorities reported two sightings of Cavalcante within the search area.

Danelo Cavalcante, the Pennsylvania prison escapee, has now been roaming wooded areas and small suburban towns for nearly two weeks, presumably with no shelter and little to eat or drink, as he flees the hundreds of police officers desperately searching for him. Back home in rural Brazil, his mother, Iracema Cavalcante, sees a son whose life has trained him to live alone and overcome hardships, preparing him for his long flight from the authorities after being convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend. But Ms. Cavalcante, while saying her son stabbed his ex-girlfriend in Pennsylvania in 2021 and murdered a man in Brazil in 2017, insists her son, even if armed, “did not pose a threat to anyone.” He is just fighting to survive, she said, as he has for much of his life. “His training was his suffering,” said Ms. Cavalcante, in her first interview since her son escaped from prison last month. “It was going to sleep hungry, it was waking up as I wondered what to feed them.”
