Danelo Souza Cavalcante escaped from a Philadelphia jail nearly two weeks ago
Residents of a suburban Philadelphia community locked themselves in their houses and at least one school district cancelled classes as authorities indicated they were closing in on a murderer who escaped from jail nearly two weeks ago.
At least one school district said on Tuesday it would close all schools and offices for the day, and another in the area planned to keep students indoors.Police closed roads in the search area. Video from a roadblock showed law enforcement officers stopping and checking vehicles leaving the area. Cavalcante slipped out of the eight-square-mile search area over the weekend and stole a dairy delivery van that had been left unlocked with the keys in it.
Cavalcante is desperate because he is reaching out for help from people with whom he has not spoken in years, he said.“The fact that he has reached out to people with a very distant past connection tells me he doesn’t have a great network of support,” Mr Bivens said. Mr Bivens declined to discuss whether Cavalcante has received assistance from others but said no such arrests have been made.
