A “heat signal” detected by a federal law enforcement aircraft early Wednesday morning led to the capture of the convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania jail two weeks ago, stoking fear across a broad swath of Philadelphia’s western suburbs. Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police said the fugitive, Danelo Cavalcante, 34, was arrested around 8 a.m. in a wooded area about 15 miles north of Chester County Prison, where he had clambered up a wall and escaped on Aug. 31. That was nine days after he was sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder in the April 2021 killing of his former girlfriend. #pennsylvania #fugitive
