Escaped Pennsylvania killer Danelo Cavalcante captured using heat technology, Border Patrol dog Cavalcante, 34, had been on the run since Aug. 31 when he escaped from Chester County Prison in Pocopson Township. Escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante was captured Wednesday morning after authorities tracked him down using thermal heat technology from an aircraft before a U.S. Border Patrol tactical unit dog ultimately pinned him down, authorities said.

After almost two weeks on the run, Cavalcante, a 34-year-old convicted killer who broke out of prison Aug. 31, was arrested, found wearing a Philadelphia Eagles hoodie.


He was transported in a convoy to the Avondale State Police barracks where he arrived wrapped in a foil blanket shortly before 9 a.m., Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said at a news briefing.

Cavalcante did not have any significant injuries, except for a minor dog bite, he said.

Chester County authorities were heard announcing Cavalcante was in custody in a broadcast radio call at 8:18 a.m.

“Chester County all stations radio room, Chester County government and various other agencies working on the prisoner escape. I’m proud to announce the subject is in custody. Repeating, subject is in custody," a Chester County official said.
