On August 31st 2023, 34-year-old convict Danelo Cavalcante escaped Pennsylvania's Chester County Prison by crab-walking between two walls, pushing through razor wire, and fleeing from the roof. For two weeks, Pennsylvania residents lived in fear as authorities worked tirelessly to track down the escaped convict. Cavalcante had been convicted of murdering his girlfriend in 2021 and was wanted in Brazil for a 2017 killing. Finally, on September 13th, Cavalcante was apprehended by Pennsylvania State Police and a Border Patrol tactical unit.
