Convicted Murderer Escapes Chester County Prison, Manhunt Underway
The former warden of Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania retired the day before a convicted murderer, Danelo Cavalcante, escaped from the facility. Cavalcante, who was awaiting transfer to a state correctional facility to serve a life sentence for first-degree murder, managed to slip past guards. The interim warden, Howard Holland, is now overseeing the prison. Cavalcante is the subject of a massive manhunt by local, state, and federal authorities, and there is an active warrant for his arrest in Brazil for another murder. The search for Cavalcante is ongoing, with authorities focusing on wooded areas and potential escape routes. A joint reward of $10,000 is being offered for information leading to his arrest.
