An 5-foot-tall murderer escaped from a Pennsylvania prison Thursday, just one week after getting a life sentence for stabbing his ex-girlfriend to death, authorities said.
The area within a six-mile radius of the Chester County Prison, outside Philadelphia, was put on high alert, as residents were warned that Danelo Cavalcante, 34, was on the loose and a serious danger to the public.
“Danelo Cavalcante is considered an extremely dangerous man. We are asking for the public’s help in locating him,” Chester County DA Deb Ryan said in a statement.
