Deb Ryan, the district attorney of Chester County—20 miles west of Philadelphia—confirmed in a press conference that escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante was last seen on a residential Ring doorbell camera just before 2 a.m. in a wooded area in Pocopson Township.
Cavalcante, 34, was spotted within one-to-two miles from the Chester State Prison in a local residence where officials believe he may still be hiding, Ryan said.
Cavalcante, who was sentenced to life in prison last month on a first-degree murder charge, is five feet tall and was seen wearing shorts, a white T-shirt, white sneakers and a backpack, which he wore over prison-issued clothing.
