"Danelo Cavalcante: From Escape to Capture - The Pennsylvania Manhunt Story"

Danelo Cavalcante, a murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania jail two weeks ago, was captured by a law enforcement dog after a heat-sensing aircraft located him. Cavalcante, who was sentenced to life in prison for killing his ex-girlfriend, escaped by crawling between two walls and scaling a razor-wire fence. After a two-week manhunt involving over 500 officers, he was apprehended in a wooded area as he tried to crawl away from officers. The capture was credited to the extraordinary work of law enforcement and assistance from the public. Cavalcante was left with minor injuries and will face a felony escape charge.
