Manhunt Intensifies as Escaped Killer Evades Capture and Alters Appearance

Private citizens, including drone operators and true crime enthusiasts, are taking part in the search for escaped inmate Danelo Cavalcante in northern Chester County, Pennsylvania. While some citizens claim to be assisting in a search and rescue capacity, the Pennsylvania State Police have denounced their involvement, stating that it hinders their efforts and could lead to consequences. Despite this, citizens continue to flock to the area, drawn by the spectacle and the $25,000 reward for information leading to Cavalcante's arrest. Some citizens carry firearms, but claim they would only use them in self-defense. So far, there have been no reports of violent conflicts between private citizens and law enforcement.
