PHILADELPHIA — Escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante managed to elude hundreds of law enforcement officers searching a wooded area near Longwood Gardens, then stole a nearby dairy truck and surfaced over the weekend in surveillance footage in the Phoenixville area — on the other side of Chester County about 25 miles away.
Cavalcante, 34, who broke out of the Chester County Prison on Aug. 31 by scaling a wall in an exercise yard, appeared Saturday night on a doorbell camera in East Pikeland Township, having changed into new clothes and shaved his beard and mustache along the way.
