Danelo Cavalcante, 34, who was serving a life sentence at Chester County Prison, escaped by vertically climbing between two walls to reach the roof, according to shocking new video.
The convicted killer currently on the run after breaking out of a Pennsylvania prison last week had escaped by climbing between two walls to reach the roof, according to shocking new video.
Danelo Cavalcante, 34, who was serving a life sentence at Chester County Prison, was caught on camera walking to a secluded area in the jail yard and positioning himself in between two walls described to be about five feet apart.
The five-foot-tall murderer then appeared to check if anyone was watching before placing his hands on one wall and his feet against the other, propping his body up.
The prisoner then walked backward up the wall, disappearing from view as he made it up to the roof to mount his daring escape.
While there doesn’t seem to be any additional video of Cavalcante performing such a feat, Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Biven told reporters Wednesday that the inmate had likely been practicing for the vertical climb.
