Danelo Cavalcante, a convicted killer who stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death, has escaped from Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania. Cavalcante, 34, was last seen walking down Pocopson Road in Pocopson Township, about three miles from the jail. He was convicted of first-degree murder on August 16 for killing Deborah Brandao, who threatened to report his criminal past in Brazil. During the trial, it was revealed that Cavalcante had stabbed Brandao over 30 times in front of her two children. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
It is still unclear how Cavalcante managed to escape from prison, and a search is currently underway to locate him. He is considered extremely dangerous, and law enforcement has urged the public to stay away from him and report any sightings to the police immediately. Cavalcante is also wanted for a murder in Brazil in 2017.
Authorities are conducting a thorough search of the surrounding area, and the escape has been communicated to residents within a six-mile radius of the prison. The incident is under investigation, and any information regarding Cavalcante's whereabouts should be reported to 911.
