Danelo Cavalcante broke out of the Chester County Prison on August 31 by 'crab walking' between two walls, scaling a fence and traversing across razor wire.
"We pulled more people in through the night last night, some additional help from other agencies, from our own agency," Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens told reporters Friday.The fugitive's escape from the prison - about 30 miles west of Philadelphia - has rattled nearby residents and inflicted fear among his victim's grieving family.And more sightings of Cavalcante have been reported, including about eight or nine credible sightings, Bivens said Friday.
"We've got a large perimeter secured," he said Friday. "That is a pretty secure perimeter that we can push hard against with the tactical team." Cavalcante also is wanted in a 2017 homicide case in Brazil, his native country, a US Marshals Service official has said. The fugitive is about 5 feet tall with long, curly black hair and brown eyes. Police are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to Cavalcante's arrest.
