Captured US prison escapee intended to get to Canada

Pennsylvania killer Danelo Cavalcante had plans to run away to Canada before he was caught by the authorities on Wednesday.

The man, who is 34 years old, was found guilty of murdering his former girlfriend. He allegedly informed the authorities that he planned to steal someone’s car and travel to Canada.

He also said that some of the 500 officers looking for him got very near to him, and they almost stepped on him.

A police dog found Cavalcante crawling through dense bushes.

The authorities first believed that he might attempt to go back to his home country, Brazil, where he is wanted for another killing.
But Cavalcante had different thoughts, he explained to the authorities after he was caught.

Supervisory deputy US Marshal Robert Clark told ABC News that a person said they were planning to steal a car from someone in the next day, and that they were going to travel to Canada.

Cavalcante said that the authorities were very close to catching him, so close that sometimes they almost stepped on him. They were only five or six feet away.

Detective David Sassa from Chester County said to CNN, “Sometimes, the special teams walked past him. ”

MrSassa said that Cavalcante told investigators that there were times when he didn’t move for about one or one and a half days.

Cavalcante said he kept himself shaved by using a razor he found in a backpack.

He was also reported to have told the authorities that he stayed alive by drinking water from a stream and eating watermelon that he found at a farm.

The search for the man ended because they used special technology to detect heat, and a dog named Yoda helped them find him. Yoda is a four-year-old Belgian Malinois and is part of a Customs and Border Protection team.

Yoda stopped Cavalcante from escaping and bit him, causing a small wound.
Cavalcante was waiting to move to a different place when he got away from Chester County Prison on 31 August by crawling up two walls.

The 5-foot suspect was able to escape from at least six police teams, including the FBI, US Marshals, and US Border Patrol, for a period of two weeks.

Cavalcante was given a punishment last month. He will stay in prison for the rest of his life and will not be allowed to be released. He killed his ex-girlfriend, Deborah Brandao, by stabbing her. This happened in front of her two young children.

He will be moved to a state prison where he will spend the rest of his life.

He has also been accused of a serious crime called felony escape.
