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.
