"Convicted Killer Danilo Cavalcante Returns to Court Months After Escape"

Convicted killer Danilo Cavalcante, who escaped from prison and sparked a two-week manhunt, appeared in court with overgrown hair and shackles for preliminary hearings on escape charges. Witnesses testified about their sightings of the fugitive during his time on the run, including a homeowner who encountered Cavalcante on his property and another who heard noises indicating the killer's presence in his house. The district judge ruled there was enough evidence to proceed to trial for Cavalcante, who was charged and convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend by stabbing her 38 times in front of her children.
